πŸ₯Ά No school today. It’s raining and freezing. Yay.

πŸ€” Thinking about how to mesh the blog, the mastodon, the status and basically all the things.

Common sense doesn’t scale Β· Gabe Kangas

Even the most loved Big Tech enterprises will never, ever be able to treat its users well at scale. No redesign of their copyright policies, no new terms of service, no new algorithm and no new owner will ever be able to change the fact that when you get that big you can no longer treat your users as individuals and you will actively hurt many of them. Once you get to a certain size working with your users becomes a data problem, not a people problem. And data problems cannot be solved with common sense, nuance, or empathy.

Scale is our enemy.

Very on point.

I can’t yet let go completely of my @muhh handle at twitter. But I made it unusable for me and for others as well.

I’ve claimed Germany on the omg.lol members map. Funny, ey?

This is such a nice detail of the streacom DB4 case.

All I/O is at the bottom, as is the power button with its LED. And since you can’t see the button directly, it lights up the stand with the power symbol.

A kind of post mortem of what felt like a quite defining moment in mastodon/fediverse land. My first witnessed shitstorm so to say.

A case study on how to fail.

β˜‘ After some rough couple of weeks, I've decided to crawl out of my cave. I need to. Let's go.

😡 Not sleeping, but playing around with a very focused app: status.log to update status.muhh.lol

β˜•οΈ good coffee, good morning.

This is the last post to be crossposted to twitter. You can find all the things to stay in contact on omg.muhh.lol.

The main place is and will be the blog byzero.de. Just put @muhh@byzero.de into your mastodon thing.

Thanks for all the fish! Take care.

πŸ€• Meh again.

doom scrolling has taken on a whole new meaning for me.

I still like watching things burn like hell.

Rearranged and cleaned up, now that the fabulous cube has taken over.

🀒 meh.

Finally! It worked! What an odyssey to get that hardware working. NB: right now this will be my last PC build ever. There are just too good ready made Linux PCs around.

Well, not with this fabulous case.

spare AMD M4 3xxx/4xxx CPU anyone?

If you watched my livestream yesterday or today, you might have seen me building my new desktop PC. A very nice one without fans, without any moving parts actually.

I wanted a quite simple one, no need for a dedicated graphics card, so I went with an AMD CPU with integrated GPU. A compatible board is the Asrock Phantom thing with B550 chipset.

Thing is, only a mildly current BIOS supports these CPUs with integrated graphics chip. And the one I bought has an old BIOS revision. Of course.

So, does anyone of you - best from Germany/EU to avoid anything with customs - have an AMD CPU M4 socket, like 3xxx or 4xxx, at hand to borrow or sell it to me? Just needs to be on the supported CPU list where “Validated BIOS” is either P1.20 or All.

I’m already looking at ebay-kleinanzeigen.de…
