ICE are the new SS.
We plan to travel on a Tuesday, so I'm hoping it's a little less busy than normal

How busy is the RE5 from Berlin to Stralsund at 1755?
We want to use our Deutschland ticket to travel to Stralsund with our bikes, taking the 1755 RE5. Is it normally very busy in July? I don't think we can reserve seats on that service...
Thanks!
According to the article, it's been enforced since 2017. Is there a CETA 2 or something?
Fields of the Nephelim. Just don't get all the fuss about them.
Not so great. Recent changes heavily restrict the right to protest, for example.
I can feel the Thoughts and Prayers from here.
He's not insane, he's evil.
In work environments, I dress semi formal - smart button down shirt etc. - but with significant black and purple tones. I usually keep my rings on. My style inspiration is recent Nick Cave.
Family... are just about used to me being weird.
1, 4, 12 or 18 depending on my mood and whether I'm working.
To be fair, he's dead, so there's not that much current news.
Used to wear them several times a year - clubbing and WGT. I put on a little of weight during covid and... yeah, I'm also a 50 something bloke. I can't really pull off 'that look' anymore...
Startled goth on the left, punk rocker on the right.
She's mirin who ever took the photo... she seems very happy, despite her condition.

Alternative to Converse shoes
cross-posted from: https://lemm.ee/post/59525691
I was getting disappointed with the quality of Converse boots before this whole thing kicked off. My partner suggested I try the French brand Paladium. The quality is much better. Apparently, the French paras use them. All I can say is they are more comfortable and last longer than my Converse ever did.

Out code runs on Linux containers, so no Windows needed. Personally, I use OpenSuSE, but the containers use Alpine.
We're looking at scaleway. They seem pretty decent so far.
Doctor of medicine, so there's a greater than zero chance she knows exactly where to hit him. Good on her, though - people need to take a stand.
Yes, IIRC they already did this for Russia.
Yeah, whatever you were planning on doing, you're doing this instead.
Well, AFAIK, that's where Lemmy got the name from. Didn't he write that one? My memory is about as good as my eyesight these days...

I think it's time to leave 5 eyes
The shitshow in the Whitehouse yesterday really brought it to light - the U.S. can no longer be trusted with our secrets. Its time to leave 5 eyes. I would create a new intelligence sharing union with the other 3 members, on condition that they also leave. Inviting France and other EU states might also make sense.

Intermittent sound/microphone with Sony WX1000XM4
I have lots of trouble with my Sony XM1000XM4 headphones since the Plasma 6 update. I'm pretty sure the pipewire was updated to version 2 at the same time I pulled the KDE upgrade.
At first the issues were manageable, but annoying: If I switched from listening to music to headset mode to take a call in Google Meet, the microphone didn't work. If I switched to headphone mode and then back again to headset mode, the microphone worked again. I could continue using bluetooth with this workaround.
Recently, the situation has got much worse - I can't get the microphone to work at all, and the sound will also stop working randomly. My workaround now is to connect my headphones to the audio out of my laptop.
I've checked pipewire logs and the only things I saw were xrun
warnings, which I don't believe would break everything completely.
Does anyone have similar issues or debugging tips? I've tried Googling/Duck Duck Going this for months, and I've not found anyone with similar symptoms.

World War 1 was in progress, though it wasn't called that yet. On the Western Front, Imperial Germany's invasion was underway and the French and British armies had been in retreat for almost a week. Among the engagements of this day was a skirmish near Néry, where a dismounted British cavalry division fought a dismounted German cavalry division. The outnumbered British forces prevailed, and three British soldiers were later awarded the prestigious Victoria Cross. The French and British forces continued to retreat, but they were doing so in an orderly manner, and in a few days they would be ready to counterattack in one of the most significant battles of the century.
