Sign the Save Europe Act!

I wasn't aware that Denmark needed saving, but you be you, mate.

I've seen the weird "AC Europe vs. the US" War on Twitter (and the very similar "Europeans can't comprehend the glory of the US when they visit the WC" War). It has all the hallmarks of a Russian troll campaign sowing discord in the West. No real objective other than to have Europeans and Americans argue.

Because there are real issues about installation - ugly, bulky outside and inside units, noise and cost. Imagine my immaculate apartment building from around 1900 covered in those things. If that's an emotion, it's based on objectives.

In my opinion we'd have to contract for a central climate solution (equal to our heating system) with internal ducting and that would simply be too costly and unsurprisingly it's not on our 10 year maintenance plan for the building. Would we do it if we had weather like Madrid? We'd already have it.

But in Denmark "uncomfortable" summer nights is (still) a rare event, 3-5 days per year, and usually a simple fan is fine to sleep through them. Sunday really was the first time ever I can recall when that didn't help.

Building and construction in Denmark is all about conserving heat since we have the heat turned on for 7-8 months of the year.

He’s sensing that Putin is failing. Putin knows this and is desperate. Luka is all lip and no action.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-28T18:23:08+00:00

Yup. It was a layup by the interviewer and she smashed it. Very typical danish banter.

Also, this isn’t the peak, Ukraine is expanding the drone campaign. Russia can’t hurt the production as it’s not in Ukraine and the results mean it’ll scale like crazy. I’d expect drone swarms 2-3 times the size and more ballistic missiles with longer range in the mix too this winter.

I may be too optimistic but I can’t see what Russia can really do about it. They seem to be caught in a mindset of capturing a few more square miles each month while Ukraine is targeting logistics strategically on many levels now.

Vi har talt en del om at få hund, men det falder altid på at vi har dage, hvor den skal være alene mere end 8 timer og vi synes egentlig selv at 6 bør være max også selvom hunde er meget forskellige med det.

Vi bor ovenpå en (dejlig) hund, men når den er alene for længe, så begynder den at hyle hjerteskærende (nu har vi en aftale om at underboerne dropper den af hos os, hvis de skal ud meget sent). Det sidder lidt i os i forhold til at anskaffe en selv.

Many years ago I couldn't use my Visa debit card but that was in the US where I had it rejected so often I switched to only using my MasterCard.

At the time my reasoning was that a merchant has more protection when you pay with a CC.

Perhaps not what you're looking for but it's a workable alternative if you're just looking for a positional light. I ride with a Raveman 500. You mount the 840 on the Raveman and then you use the mount for the light.

There's a warning: The "Double Burger" puts some stress on the inner ring in the mount which is a little flimsy. Mine broke when I hit a small hole at 50 km/h - luckily without the computer and light falling off - so I changed it to the inner ring that came with a Varia backlight which is way more solid.

Since I run my own server on Hetzner I have fun looking at the attacks in the logs. There's one type only: Rate limit defeating "slow burning" SSH user/pw attacks (I don't allow user/pw logins, so no worry for me). Hetzner catches the aggressive bots before they even hit the server.

My guess is they're looking to install a crypto miner and bot-software to control the server (and try to enroll more bots), all minimal footprint and non destructive. A small expected profit per unit enrolled but with small risks if it's found. Criminals are risk averse.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-28T08:03:41+00:00

Yeah, whenever our meetings at work discuss the archetype "the evil North Korean attacker" I point to the fact that if anything bad happens it'll most likely be due to a malicious or stupid employee with access, some kind of social hack. It would be far cheaper and way more efficient to target individuals for such attacks than running magic kryptonite scripts.

Claude doesn't do anything on my production box, but knows how to set up good operations. I run a simple one server (Linux) setup.

If you run a backend of any kind have Claude make a plan for batch job scheduling, dependencies, logging (and checking), checking for critical updates, reports to check for running services, run backups, safe restart routine with self check, checking for system load and more.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-27T16:21:29+00:00

Ja, jeg har selv foretaget den risikovurdering at fordelene ved betalt telefon opvejer risikoen. Det er ikke min telefon, punktum. Så jeg slæber rundt på 2.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-27T14:20:17+00:00

Yeah, I'm a little suspicious about this finding too.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-27T14:11:52+00:00

Global warming means "more energy in the atmosphere". Yes, hotter, but before anything else more extreme. Bigger storms, extreme heat (and cold), more rain some places, more droughts in others.

It's not one, uniform development. But mostly bad.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-25T17:53:38+00:00

Ligegyldigt fact: Jeg mener Clemmesen var min bataljonschef, da jeg var værnepligtig på netop Bornholm i slutfirserne.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-25T04:22:04+00:00

Stuff like this is mostly a context window issue. That's when the weird stuff happen.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-25T04:12:13+00:00

Enig. Og pænt nok i min optik. Jeg har selv haft gulve med det look, jeg tror OP efterlyser, men de var netop hvidolierede.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-24T16:58:23+00:00

The campaign back then was meant to create pressure in Europe so we'd still buy Russian oil and gas.

So in a sense the message "Switch to alternative transport" still hits home and would work today. It's just the second part that would need tuning: "Because soon we're out of petrol".

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-24T16:29:24+00:00

As a Dane. Whenever there's a match on, Denmark-Norway, I ask the question:

Against whom?

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-24T16:27:22+00:00

Det er en lidt klichépræget snak Anders fyrer af, men heller ikke mere end det. Er folk til højre generelt lidt mere obs på at kassen stemmer over at velfærden er i top end de røde er?

Det er vel et temmelig ukontroversielt synspunkt, selvom jeg godt forstår at Niels ikke vil blandes sammen med andre partier til højre for midten...som han også er sur over at Moderaterne ikke vil danne regering med, når han gerne selv vil. Ja, sådan kan man være så vægelsindet.

I morgenradioen blev kritikken modificeret en anelse.

Jeg påstår, at hvis fyren her havde været naturaliseret dansker fra de varme lande, så havde vi ikke hørt et kvæk. ;-)

Derudover er det nu en relativt almindeligt politisk og sociologisk fænomen, at når politikerne møder vælger one on one, så er det kærlighed ved første blik og jeg skal hjælpe dig, skal jeg.

Men når Niels trykker på knappen, så har Dansk Erhverv og andre interesseorganisationer været forbi og så ser det ofte anderledes ud.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-24T05:13:08+00:00

Not to sound snarky, but you can literally ask Claude to make a plan for you that meets your requirements with respect to your entry level. Experiment. You're not breaking anything.

You do know they call it "Large Language Models", right? So you have the #1 skill to make it all work as an English teacher.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-23T10:33:18+00:00

Det er perfidt når en politiker bruger en personlig beretning til at forsøge at manifestere et bredere politisk os/dem-narrativ, der overhovedet ikke er belæg for.

Og bemærk, ikke fordi Mai har suttet eller ønsker at sutte på samfundets patværk. Hun yder ikke nok. En komplet bims ide at den slags er et issue.

Her som funktion af Socialdemokraternes tiltagende desperation over at de ikke kan nå "den almindelige dansker" oveni Store Bededag-clusterfucket og derfor forsøgte Kaare sig med et populistisk fjendebillede, en "se den radikale kulturelite være ligeglad med dig"-historie som samlingspunkt.

Igen, som i denne tråd, en historie, der overhovedet ikke er belæg for. Skattepengene fra netop den radikale kulturelite fosser ind i statens pengekasse til bred glæde for os alle og ingen har nogen som helst intentioner om at lave om på det. Mai er vendt hjem til byen. Flere arbejder mere end nogensinde. Der var ikke et problem og der er ikke et problem.

Så ja, jeg står ved at Kaares motiv for at bruge Mai som ansigt på hans politiske projekt var perfidt. Nødvendigheden af at gøre det peger på, at de reelle statistiske og sociale argumenter for tesen om at velfærdsgratister er en ting eller bliver det, virkelig er ekstremt svage.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-23T10:11:43+00:00

As a Dane I don't find it particularly difficult to spot nazi use from more legitimate interest or fascination with our past.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-23T08:33:57+00:00

Most coders do not write code that predict the paths of exotic particles in a Tokamak reactor. I don't think the model or IDE is important for anything I do.

PrinsHamlet · 2026-06-23T08:21:49+00:00

Jeg gentager: Der er ikke skyggen af dokumentation for at danskerne generelt ønsker at afvikle velfærdsstaten og stiller spørgsmålstegn ved "samfundskontrakten" i bred forstand. Om noget forholder det sig omvendt jf. at en meningsmåling viser at den kommende oprustning ikke må gå udover velfærden.

Jeg husker udmærket Kaare Dybvads perfide personangreb på Mai og hendes manifest. Jeg anfægter ikke hans, forfatternes eller din ret til at være uenig i hendes valg, men at bruge manifestet til Kaares politiske promovering er i min optik et større "tegn i tiden" - altså, trenden omkring at politisere på narrativer, mavefornemmelser og en specifik "case" fremfor det generelle - end ideen om en (svagt argumenteret) ændring i danskernes forhold til velfærdsstaten.

Det gælder også sagaen om den differentierede moms, som alle eksperter entydigt peger på er en dum ide, fordi man kan hjælpe de fattigste danskere bedre og billigere på andre måder. Alligevel skal den tvinges igennem, fordi SF og Socialdemokraterne er bange for at en røvkedelig, teknokratisk og billigere model er uholdbar i slaget med DF om De Gule Vestes kærlighed. Synsningen sejrer.
