  • As many of you, front left is for phone.

    Front right is for everything else I need, usually vape but it could be keys if I don’t wear a jacket.

    Back pockets are always empty.

    I ditched the wallet years ago, everything is on my phone and as long as I am not crossing a border that’s enough for daily life. The problem is that I am so used to not having a wallet that I forget it even when I’m supposed to go abroad and show an ID if asked. Oh well this is Europe, it’s like casino roulette, maybe I’ll get a border patrol, maybe not 🤷🏻‍♂️






  • Yep, I didn’t join as I am only there for the general shit talking and not participating in any constructive or useful conversations (it’s a way of life) but Camus, Snoopy, Anansi, THE meerkat and probably others are participating with you on the piefed zulip and codeberg.

    The jlailu matrix is still open but inactive and left to slowly wither and die, every sidebars are now linked to the zulip server instead of matrix.









  • Not all of them, most of ATC in EASA airspace is Linux based and use electronic strips instead of the plastic paper strips.

    But the foundation of the ground/ground communication is still AFTN based on x400 network (Europe used to have an X.25 network for its CIDIN communications).

    The latest and newest tech for international data exchange is AMHS based on X400, often it is x400 over IP ok, but still a 50 years or so tech.

    The main idea behind ATC and aviation tech is reliability and compatibility with countries with less money to upgrade tech.
