I like docker. My SSD does not.

Users are often not aware of which services or applications are tracking them. I am doing a survey on the privacy and transparency of location data. If you have 15 minutes, your input is appreciated :) vub.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0T…

@lcamtuf Nice thermal runaway protection

I'm new to soldering, is this normal?

@utopiah Or... Use Mastodon :)

PS: I have nothing specific against Grok (even though IMHO most of my AI limitations do apply, cf fabien.benetou.fr/Analysis/Again… ) but I certainly do NOT want bundling! I'm here for a "social network", sharing ideas, etc. I don't want to be coerced into another product.

Not THE most elegant way but... using @ublockorigin "Block element" feature (just a right click away) I was able to hide all the @Grok force-fed AI on X/Twitter in minutes! Thanks to this kind of extensions, the Web remains "my" experience, not dictated by others.

@utopiah So that's why you switched to square cups now? 😉

Shift... maybe I'm an alien, that'd explain so much! /s

Arrival, 2024 at home.

@almormd A hidden feature that has never been tested. As long as you do not use it, it will be fine

What do you call that in software development?

@nocontextmemes Wait till this guy finds out about the official pronunciation of JWT tokens

Last year I came back from JP with 1kg of 1 yen coins that I did not manage to get rid of (7 euros)

When @amazon delivers packages via Colis Prive in Brussels, there is a 50% chance of them getting lost. Meanwhile in Brussels you can buy lost packages by the kilo

@highvis_supply @rallynemesis666 Nm, looked like DIMM slots

@highvis_supply @rallynemesis666 Ramdisk?

2008-era internet points if you can guess what these are

Bought a 20TB HDD 2 months ago, package got lost in transit. Bought it again last month, package never got "officially" lost, but the next-day delivery is still pending. Ordered it again yesterday, arrived today (yay) but seems it is broken. I think there is a curse on this HDD

Imagine node_modules if this existed in Node.js

CCpos is definitely worth a read btw: researchgate.net/publication/34…

🧵... It is then trained on the accuracy of the training data. It is a nice addition for providing an accuracy value to accompany location data. 2/2

With sensor or location data, the most useful additional information is accuracy. Currently experimenting with fingerprint accuracy prediction in @OpenHPS based on CCpos' CADE-CNN. It can help to determine which k-NN fingerprinting parameters to use in different zones.

I also need to thank scientists and a professor at the Department of Computer Science, Vrije Universiteit Brussels for having discussions and dinner with me.

@utopiah @beatsigner sure, feel free to add me in cc

@MVdWSoftware @beatsigner I sure do, would it also be best if I add you in CC to possibly facilitate?

Damn, that was 4 years ago😅 but... I managed to get back there with my own (local) stack : namely I can drag&drop a document in XR (here PDF again), get it to my device for "proper" reading🔖 "outside" of XR. Feels like a set back but it opens a TON more possibilities📈🧩^🧩.
