I was looking at not-that-expensive fancy mechanical keyboards yesterday and I found a low-profile one I really liked, especially because it has switchable Mac/Windows layouts (gonna use a Mac at new job) until I realized that the Mac layout had no option for a right Alt/AltGr because it somehow needs two fn keys, wtf

experience with anti-covid-measures at events (+)
Letztes Jahr war ich Teil des Orga-Teams der @HIP22. Sehr früh in der Planung hatten wir überlegt, welche Infektionsschutzmaßnahmen wir wollen und uns für zwei Dinge entschieden: Impf- und Maskenpflicht*. Im Vorfeld hatten wir einige Diskussionen, was wir davon wie strikt durchsetzen werden können, wo wir Augenmaß walten lassen und wo nicht, wie stressig das vor Ort sein wird, ….

looking for clients, Rust consulting, boosts appreciated
Heya, I've been doing grant work for the past few months but that doesn't pay the bills very well.
So I'm looking for some contract opportunities, preferably places that uses Rust, since that's what I'm most proficient with.
I've worked on a lot of networking projects and I'm comfortable with distributed systems, and concurrent state problems.
My favourite thing to do is greenfield development and building incremental prototypes with a lot of feedback on an evolving specification :)
I'm looking for projects between 1-6 months in length, up to 30h a week. I can be part of your company structure and processes during that time, but for legal reasons I prefer to be independent/ a contractor. If your company is looking for some external help, or is generally hiring at the moment, (or you know another lead, feel free to forward this) you can get in touch here, or e-mail me: kookie@spacekookie.de.
Some more resources about what I do below. Thanks! And as the CW says, boosts highly appreciated!
Cheers ✌️

if you're on an AMD GPU don't activate anti-lag for Counter-Strike, it actually hooks into the games' code and will trigger its anti-cheat 🤦♀️ https://twitter.com/CounterStrike/status/1712875606776729832

Apple engineered a situation in which true browser competition was not allowed on iOS, making Safari's terrible platform the best anyone could get.
Having defanged browser competition, they leveraged Safari to extract monopolistic rents. That it *also* protected the App Store from real competition was a nice-to-have:

btw, if you select "CS:GO Legacy" in the beta settings for CS2 you can have both installed at the same time. Obvs no matchmaking and stuff but it's nice to have the option

PSA for anyone who has a Stadia controller: if you want to prevent it from becoming e-waste, you should update it to Bluetooth mode *now*, even if you don't plan on using it yourself anymore - that way it can be used as a stand-alone controller in the future. 
This update is possible until December 31: https://stadia.google.com/controller/index_en_US.html
