 @04a88531 right, but not necessarily for TOTP.

 The tonijnsalade at the Van der Valk in Utrecht is fabulous. 

Oh, and good morning to you 
 I’ll admit, today has been the first time I’ve heard ‘Freizeichen’ (dial tone) being used instead of “Leerzeichen” (space), and I hope it was the last.

 I wonder why to me the German "Milliarde" (or the French "millard") sound like more than the English "billion"*

 "reverse DNS" is a lie. 🙂

 @f0330d6e so extra core hard porn, amirite? 
 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has up to five (that's 5) cameras inside with which one can, say, take part in video conferences.

It's like working from home but different.

 I think the NG in #Ansible Galaxy stands for No Go.

;) 
 If you're familiar with #Ansible you likely understand what's going on here; I was amused by the [admittedly unexpected] asterisks 🙃 

(What's with the cows? Well, I'm still trying to make up for NOCOWS ... This is a small service which I use in trainings.)

 "My solution was simply to use mysql with the -B parameter, inline the SELECT statement with -e, then massage the ASCII output with sed, and wind up with CSV including a header field row. This doesn't seem to take into account STRING column types that have double quotes in them: Here is the updated regex to escape double quotes"

I love learning from the internets 🤐 
 If only more organizations published post-mortems of user-facing issues they experienced, like Cloudflare did for the ZONEMD #DNS problem which caused massive amounts of SERVFAIL on their resolvers yesterday.

Bravo and well done!

 Why is "Add channels" there when it's at the top left anyway?

Why are the blue icons on the right sidebar there? I can't seem to be able to remove them.

 I can't remember what made me do it back then (it might actually have been a Mattermost guide), but I'm pleased I placed config.json and data/ out of tree; it makes upgrades so much less painful.

 @9c630e02 fair point, though I wasn't moving 'off' but actually deleting, but obviously Github can't know the difference. 
 Github now asks thrice when I'm deleting a repository (plus auth code if configured).

I wonder how many people mistakenly deleted their shit

 @45ab6783 

with a bit of intelligence, no problem. They added that page I hear because there can be roles and collections with the same name.

Get the query, determine there's only one, and do a 302 to it. If there's more than one, present the "chooser" page.

 @9bc0a7ef for a few years as a youngster the TRS-80 was my dream.

My parents had a wealthy acquaintance who had one (don't remember the model), and I very occasionally got to play with it. 
 I'll admit to using translate to figure out what's going on here:

 I’m sitting at the bar. Young 24-year-old behind it, and I told him that the three clocks on this wall (New York, Berlin, and Tokyo) are off because they are not showing the same minute. He asked how do I know?
