@2ck yes, exactly, that was the source of my frustration..

but, well, after getting used to #guix everything else for package management feels just way too basic.

@dbergkamp probably the best way to find papers is to follow some relevant people in the field (there is hashtag filtering, but it does not automagically fetch all relevant posts ;) It is a bit tricky to find people to follow, you can sift through the trunk or check one of science-themed instances, OTTOMH besides qoto I can name a few: scicomm.xyz, fediscience.org, mathstodon.xyz. You can append /public to urls to see the local timeline of the instance. Good luck!

@taxuswc сегодня в федиверсе, завтра на APOD

monitor #1: German bureaucracy
monitor #2: incomprehensible fortran code

that's how I spend my days

the colormap is called glasbey_category10_n256 if you are curious

@taxuswc it is actually a pretty regular scatterplot made with Makie.jl: https://docs.makie.org/v0.17.13/examples/plotting_functions/scatter/index.html

someone's first attempt at making an elliptical galaxy please don't judge

why on earth every sufficiently advanced scientific code wants its own anaconda

local sparkasse: welcome! (just don't transfer money from Russia)

btw I'm alive, just a bit busy with offline stuff :)

survived my second day in Germany, very long one, a lot of stuff to learn :)

@rastinza hmm, I'll ask: there should be a way. thanks!

@rastinza no, unfortunately, the only address I have is the address of the institute where I will work and I doubt they would allow registering there.

There is vivid, but webid registration is screwed: I waited six hours to get it terminated 30 seconds before it'll finish.
There is bunq: a residence permit required for some countries
There is n26: same.
There is revolut: probably same, but I'll check again.
There is wise: russian passport? gtfo.

hmm. to pay a deposit for housing I need a bank account. to open a bank account a residence permit is required. for a residence permit a registration at some place is required. to get a place to live I need .. oh, here we go again.

Does everyone bring their deposit in cash when they rent their first room in Germany? I am a bit uneasy about the perspective of running with 1.5 monthly salary around..
