When a U.S. senator calls Germany’s defense against extremism “tyranny,” the German Foreign Office responds with a calm reminder: democracy means protecting the Constitution—even from those who threaten it from within.
History taught us why this matters.

Interesting read about a pretty advanced malware that „just“ mines Monero and makes $300 per day. One would think that these advanced techniques would be deployed to wreck havoc. news.sophos.com/en-us/2019/1...

Joko & Klaas gaben gestern ihre gewonnene Sendezeit an Habeck, Merz und Scholz. Die über Politik und Anstand sprachen.
Es ist sehr interessant, das zu schauen, es abzugleichen mit dem, was politisch passiert.
Es könnte für die nächsten Wochen ein Referenzpunkt werden

This article by @mitsuhiko.at can also be applied to Germany. Almost every part matches. And part of it also explains the failure to change. Germany has been so reluctant to change that now it is very late in many industries.

That does not sound good. Hopefully this is not the beginning of a new catastrophe.

Working on a solution that uses #langchain and #langgraph. After some exploration it is quite a nice tandem to work with. Also #langsmith is really nice for debugging your prompts and chains.

apparently my post "you have built a compiler" (rachit.pl/post/you-hav...) has spawned a little genre:

Today I did a quick dive into the world of #LTE to understand pros and cons of different categories better. Note: If using Cat 1bis be aware of QoS restrictions a carrier might apply. Your device might get downgraded when Cat 4+ devices are present. www.u-blox.com/en/blogs/ins...

Just discovered #Google #Autopilot that, together with Cloud Run, allows even GKE pods to scale to zero. And in general it looks like an easy way to deploy into a #Kubernetes cluster. I am still an #AWS fanboy but that is impressive.

Nice explanation of different caching strategies by @bytebytego.bsky.social. One tool you can use is #redis. Have been using it for years and it delivers! But I have to admit that #DragonflyDB might have some benefits over redis. First tests look promising.

Back to some #cloud #architecture for a current project. #AWS and #SAP BTP working in tandem. Using #draw.io since a year and very happy with it.

This a hard read. But a worthy one. Read it. Really do. A society can be called human if we care for the most vulnerable. Politics is on the right track if it focuses not on the wealthy but on the poor.
