@freemo still gives some weird percentages: 85% Turing, 10% Terra, I don't even know what those are 😁

@freemo Sure thing: https://github.com/arteteco/FunModels

Mh, I have a repo on #github where the main programming language, for like everything, is #R.
Github keeps saying that the language is Turing.

How can I convince him otherwise?

@coldwave ahaah, happens! At least you have some good paper section

Not everyone knows that Julius Caesar was kidnapped by pirates. It was the 75 bce and was headed towards Rhode. They asked 20 talents as a ransom, and he was very offended by it: "ask at least 50!", he said.
During the captivity, Caesar was like a boss. He read them his poetry, which they didn't like, and he insulted them as "ignorant barbars!". He would get angry if they made noise while he was sleeping, and kept saying "I'll get you all crucified when I get back".

He was then freed after the sum was payed.
He went back, quickly assembled a small naval force, and attack them.
He took the money back, and killed them.

To be fair, he developed a bond with them so he had their throat slit to save them from the agonies of the crucifix. He crucified the bodies, as it was the case with pirates.

All of this when Caesar was not, well, Caesar. He was only 25 yo, with no militar or political power, but you can already see he was going to f**king majestic.

@ambulocetus coo, where did you find this pic?

One of the best indicators of the Ancient Roman activity you can find is, surprisingly, Greenland's ice.
Since the republican times lead pollution was so strong that it's still detectable now, at over 2800 kms and 2100 years of distance

I created a talk group for all the #qotocloud users. If you have any request, problem, question or whatever you can reach me and the others there

@fxdm Just wanted to say, big fan of the researches you post, thanks!

@Capitancuk Yeah I love Roman history in general, punic wars are a peak moment.
I loved the Dan Carlin's episodes on the punic wars! Some of the best material he's done. Also Death throes of the republic was really nice, to understand the fall of the roman republic.

Che poi oh, poi da tutto un altro sapore al camminare nelle nostre città, siamo ancora spugnati di Roma!

First Punic war. Romans are heavily defeated by the Carthaginians who capture their consul, Marcus Attilius Regulus.
He is sent to Rome in 256 bC to break a peace deal, and he promises he'll be back in Carthago after all it's done.

He goes to Rome, and instead tells the senate, urges the soldiers, roars at the people to keep fighting, as Carthage will fall.
Than, fully aware of what awaits him, goes back to Carthage where he's tortured to death. Because he gave his word.

@cosullivan As the others say, I need a premium account for this cache (I have an account on geocaching, but not premium)

@freemo Mh, this could save me some time, instead of exporting graphs in R and calling them in MD I could just use Rmd. I'll give it a try, thanks!

I'm using multimarkdown to write my thesis. It's a more advanced markdown parser which converts md to tex, and from there to pdf.

It's SO-NICE to write a thesis in markdown instead of having to think about styling and stuff at the same time.

A shoutout to the project, I'm happy with it

Tomorrow I have a job interview to do something I actually like: maps, webgis and geoanalysis. Wish me luck, those people seem rather untrustworthy!

@freemo
For one community I manage I had the same problem.

I have a few stuff written down in case I die, and in there I wrote the instructions to access all relevant places to backup and manage such communities, messages to write to users and some money to pay someone to do the technical stuff, asking please to find a trustworthy successor to take over.

That's what I did instead of entrusting someone else with all the passwords!

Hope it never happens to anyone... but it can happen

@zleap @trinsec @mur2501

@freemo ahahah, well get some fresh air man, people will be here!

@freemo
I'm honored but at the moment it would be too much for me, and I'm not entirely comfortable in all of those techs. With some I'm alright, some others I've never used, like docker-swarm.

So far there was never a need for it anyway, and while redundancy in access is good it also adds attack surface so I'm pretty good where I stand!

If the only matter is having someone to add a few emoticons, though, that I could do! 😁

@zleap @trinsec @mur2501

Is anyone here from the #qgis community? With my association I'm thinking to start making courses and being recognized by QGIS to issue official certificates. I've never contributed to the codebase though, I'm just a user with some kinda good knowledge of it. What are the chances that I'd have troubles with it? How does the assessment actually works?

Thanks!

@masu best of luck, you'll be alright!
