It's all over the press and any search machine would give you these results, but alas here's me doing it for you 😉

@mmu_man

It used to be optional but apparently that changed today.

@drwho @djsumdog

I guess that means I won't be able to visit my friends in the US for the foreseeable future. That's incredibly sad, but at some point you just got to take a stance and make a decision. Several lines have been crossed, and for me personally that's just one too many.

Dear American friends: only you can fix this horrible mess. Go and vote.

@dennis

Well, then all there forms would be null and void. This is a legal trick: if they can prove you lied on the form, it's a lot easier to handle your case.

@pertho

Careful, ESTA is not a visa. It merely allows you to board a plane towards the US. You will either need to apply for a separate visa beforehand or apply for one on arrival (if you're on a list of selected countries).

@captain_w00t

@albijuli

For all we know that just makes you extra suspicious 😉

@masterofthetiger

Probably that you deserve to go on the "extra-suspicious" list.

@Nikolai_Kingsley

You've probably get enough metadata links pointing to it. Besides claiming not to have a Facebook profile probably just puts you on the "extra-suspicious" list.

@pertho

They probably do, they still require you to enter anything you've used in the past 5 years. You know, just in case they have a backup of Google+ somewhere in Utah 😉

@one

Well, that's certainly highly suspicious 😆

@djsumdog

Well, you may still have used it within the last five years, and - don't worry - they certainly got a backup of Google+ somewhere in Utah 😂

New US visa online application now requires you to enter all your social media presences when you apply for a visa:

The #gpn19 is in full swing and the streams are live!

If you want to download video/audio of talks, here's a quick reminder that I wrote a little console tool called "sync3c" to automatically filter & sync talks from any #ccc event for you:

It's as easy as typing "sync3c -name gpn19" 😊

@KitsuneAlicia @telephant

Yeah I get it, that's a bit confusing. I just didn't wanna spam the release page with daily uploads, so I thought it's a good idea to do that until the first proper release 0.1.

@KitsuneAlicia @telephant

Actually I update the precompiled binaries on a fairly regular basis. It should be pretty much on par with git master right now.

@zudn

You could say I'm lactose tolerant. That said there are rather tasty vegan cheese alternatives.

@twisterghost

😂

Keeping it simple and delicious: cheese and onions, folded-over with avocado dip 😊

Quesadillas, yum yum 😋

@chrislavers

Apparently nerdish with a hint of English. Sorry if all that sounded a bit cryptic, I promise it makes some kind of sense for at least some of my followers 😂

Today I've spent about 7 hours of my life trying to debug an iptables/firewall/VPN issue.

Whatever I tried, it just didn't work.

...and then after hours of painful debugging, wiresharking and TCP dumping I realized I'm on a system with several GB/s of throughput and someone was clever enough to skip conn-tracking on the raw packet level for performance reasons.

Lesson of the day: There is always one more lesson to learn. 😆
