With all the talk about Europe’s digital sovereignty:
Yes, libravatar.org runs on AWS in the US - but it’s fully operated and managed from Europe 🇪🇺
It’s the world’s largest independent avatar hosting service, handling ~10M requests per day!

Man muss das halt ins Verhältnis setzen, darum geht es.
Und nein, ich mag auch keine Inflationsrate von 4%, aber offenbar geht es nicht anders.
Ich bin ja nicht gerne politisch, aber wenn Gerald G. mal wieder mit Zahlen um sich wirft eine Klarstellung. Die Inflationsrate in AT liegt bei 4%, soweit richtig. Aber sie lag 2022 bei über 8% und 2023 bei über 7%. 2024 dann die Erleichterung von 2.9% und jetzt leider wieder oben.
Folks... We know libravatar.org has been under heavy load recently and we relentlessly worked on getting this under control. The only way forward that we saw a few weeks ago is a new server. Good news: It's ready and we're in the middle of switching over the service. We'll keep you posted!

Happy birthday @libravatar.org !
While the original #Libravatar was created 15 years ago, the new version (code name ivatar) had it's first commit on the 7th of May 2018 - that's 7 years already! We missed the "May the 4th be with you." just by 3 days. :-)
Thanks @alyssamilano.bsky.social for being who you are and what you do! Leaving X (formally known) as Twitter was the right choice and I‘m sure your followers are going to join you here!
Oh yes, I do #donate to @wikipedia.org!
Do too: donate.wikimedia.org - or where else are you looking up stuff these days?
Now, P!nk, it‘s time to think about a new version of „Dear Mr. President“. But I also understand if you‘re struggling for the right words.

Love in the air. @libravatar.bsky.social ❤️ @bsky.app!
And we hope this love becomes mutual! That's why we've been working on an integration for the profile picture - maintain it on Bluesky, use it with every service supporting the Libravatar API!
Thanks @ofalk.bsky.social for the idea and code!
Slack hingegen. Immer ausführlich und oftmals auch mit einer Prise Humor. Beispielhaft!!
ChatGPT, Foursquare, Ebay. Um nichts besser.
Nein, nicht nur die. Kein DS Bashing. Da sind viele andere die das genau so schlecht machen.
@deepseek.bsky.social
Ihr könnt das sicher besser!
Ganz ehrlich. Das ist komplett sinnlos. Das sagt nichts aus. Und abgesehen davon habe ich auch noch nie erlebt, dass unbekannte Probleme gelöst wurden. Denn selbst wenn ein Problem das bisher nicht bekannt war gelöst wurde, ist es noch immer unbekannt, dass es dieses überhaupt gab.
Best of all the luck to my friends in the US and to all of us on the planet.
Let‘s move back to the pre-2000 years. 😢
Beyond the Calendar: Finding Your Fresh Start
As December fades into January, social media floods with retrospectives and resolutions. We scroll through carefully curated year-in-review posts, watching others sum up twelve months […]

Look/Check. Use indicator. Switch lane.
In THIS order. And ONLY in this f*** order.
It‘s this time of the year again, where I‘m sending out my good ol‘ snail mail season greetings.
Anyone else surprising people with real mail these days or is everyone only using digital e-cards?

The pro of an airfryer: You can use it for so many things. The con of an airfryer: You DO use it for a lot of things. Which leads to having to clean the damn thing almost daily. 😂
And I try to avoid BSL license in my projects in order to not run into troubles.
You can‘t use TF for commercial uses and that‘s well, difficult to say at least. And I prefer to support the open version.
Because of the license change.
I‘d replace Terraform with OpenTofu these days. 😉
GitLab, even before I worked there.
My personal preference is still podman and works great with GitLab CI.
