I wrote my first proper code in LaTeX Expl3 syntax and still can't decide whether this is the most confusing conventional programming language or the easiest to learn esoteric language... #latex #expl3

Thanks for sharing. I guess there was a reason why once somebody suggested to take the batteries out and put the phones into a fridge if privacy is required.

I need a new Swiss VPS provider. Hosttech is offline again - it's somewhat becoming a habit for them. They also can't be bothered to communicate what's happening in any of their status channels...

Are there any more reliable cloud providers with servers in Switzerland? I know Exoscale and unless you stop me that's likely my next destination...

@Urs Naegeli ⭐ Virtual Private Server.. Das war die Abkürzung, welche so vor 10 Jahren aktuell war, bevor alle das irgendwie Cloud Compute Instance und so genannt haben....

@navigium also consider cloudscale.ch.

One word of warning regarding Exoscale: you can not create a VM without a public IP. This might be an issue for you or not. Also, you can not create storage volumes you can move between VMs.

On Friday we went out camping on a #sota summit to participate in the VK ZL JA EU S2S event. I made my first ever SOTA DX contacts, to New Zealand and Australia. On Friday in the evening I also managed to catch a DX to Pennsylvania... The cold night was definitely worth it. #hamradio

My main #hubzilla hub runs on #FreeBSD and I just migrated my backup hub from #OmniOS to #NixOS - for some reason I gravitate to obscure operating systems...

Security by obscurity? Or just fun?

@Einer von Vielen Just fun. I don't beliefe in security by obscurity - if anything these OSes are less secure because they're less widely used and it might take longer for security issues to be discovered.

well you seem to worry about security. Your main hub runs on FreeBSD, the most secure operating system, and not obscure at all

I haven't tried #NixOS for ages. Yesterday I gave it another try in an VM after a talk at #CfgMgmtCamp in Ghent. I'm tempted to try how it would work out using it as my main OS....
