I'm never using UK mirrors again...

Just because I'm curious. How many languages do you speak? (well enough to have a simple conversation, at least)

Do boost.

good night fedi (I really should've gone to bed hours ago again, it's past sunrise)

github doesn't support ipv6, but judging by their uptime they're at least doing their best to also not support ipv4

rip radio 4 longwave

I recorded the last few minutes listening via an online SDR. it’s interesting that the final beep of the the pips is shorter than usual - it seems they did indeed stop broadcasting at exactly 00:00 UTC

21 minutes until the end of radio 4 longwave

32°C indoors now

how do people in places where it is regularly >40°C survive (especially without air conditioning)? it is 35°C here and that is already far too hot

(it actually only freed ~74GiB, presumably due to btrfs compression)

two weird networking issues upon rebooting:

1. no ipv6 default route is getting added (“fixed” by adding a static route)

2. > cat /etc/resolv.conf
   nameserver 194.168.4.100
   nameserver 194.168.8.100

   ??? that’s not even my ISP

it’s quite annoying that after updating kde plasma I can’t take screenshots without logging out and back in again:

An error occurred while taking a screenshot.
KWin screenshot request failed:
The process is not authorized to take a screenshot
Potentially relevant information:
- Method: CaptureScreen
- Method specific arguments: "DP-4"

does anyone know if there is any solution to this that does not involve re-logging-in (and therefore killing all graphical programs)?

I wonder if the gentoo update will be done by the time I wake up (probably not, it's going to compile linux and llvm)
