Fahrradaktivist Natenom tot: Der Mann mit dem Abstandhalter.

Er trug immer eine gelbe Leuchtweste. Auch bei seinem Unfall, wie die Polizei bestätigte.

Tonight we gonna browse it like it's 1995!

There seems to be an issue with Synergy and the i3 window manager, when after logout the screen just turns blank and there is no way to log on to the sytem, anymore…

This bit me several times, and all I could do is rebooting the machine – until I found out I could restart the Gnome desktop manager, which is used for showing the login screen.

Later, I found an article – Fix Can't Login After Logout With Gnome – pointing me to the actual issue, a line added by Synergy to a GDM config:

# /etc/gdm3/PostSession/Default
systemctl --system start synergy.service

I removed this line, and logout works again. I contacted Synergy about the issue, they friendly replied and want to investigate.

I cannot believe I was finally able to fix the issue of mails getting bounced or marked as spam by Gmail when sent via my own mail server (yeah, I am one of those fools)…

My OpenDKIM setup was not working all along, my messages never got signed – and a really bad rep by the big G mail servers, instead.

Next task: check up for my own DNS server (twice the fool).

Relevant: The top of the DNS hierarchy.

The Visual Language Research Corpus (VLRC): an annotated corpus of comics from Asia, Europe, and the United States. (Via visuallanguagelab.com, via data-is-plural.com.)

The Visual Language Research Corpus (VLRC) is a dataset of annotations of 376 stories from comics from the United States, northwestern Europe, and East Asia, along with analysis of the complete 10 year run of the Calvin and Hobbes comic strip. Comics were annotated using 254 constructs from Visual Language Theory, a framework focusing on the linguistic and cognitive structures involved in visual and multimodal information. These annotations include analysis of panel’s attentional framing structure and filmic shot scale, the situational changes across panels, page layouts, multimodality, visual morphology, and path structure.
