I've written about snapshot testing on twitter, but those tweets couldn't capture the concept with its advantages in depth

That's why I collected all the ideas and a few examples and compiled this neat little blog post as introduction: https://t.co/HdXkdDI1Do @junitteam

Offizielle Rechnung von eprimo enthält *** FOR TESTING *** als Titel in den PDF Meta-Daten.
Ein paar Sternchen mehr und es wäre im Code-Review vielleicht aufgefallen 🤡

This head line is a bit overexcited, isn't it? https://t.co/dIVY9pile1

Don't settle for ordinary sorting techniques! 🚫 Our Java 8 guide shows you how to sort ArrayList in reverse order, giving you the flexibility to arrange your data exactly how you want it. #JavaTips #DevLife 🔄 https://t.co/nVzoid7nKw

Discovered that I can indirectly track my time on the toilet playing mobile games by looking at the number of blocked ads in my network 😀💩

@ZDF und ich sind uns offenbar einig, dass meine Tweets völlig unterbewertet sind. Daher haben sie im TV auch den Screenshot manipuliert und extra 3000 Likes erfunden. 

Weiss der Geier wie die ausgerechnet den Tweet von einem Noname Account wie meinen ausgegraben haben

Now that I moved my homeassistant installation from RPi3 to RPi4 in finally get correct measurements for internet up/download speeds. RPi3 only has a 100 M/bit interface

[Simon Taddiken @ProjectPolly]

Oopsie. @esphome_ update broke my power consumption tracking in @home_assistant. Numbers are a "little bit" skewed now :/

[Simon Taddiken @ProjectPolly]

Genuinely impressed with @home_assistant's backup restoration. Switched my instance from RPi 3 to a fresh install on a new RPi 4. I just needed to upload the backup tar file and absolutely everything was there right away 👌

@weserkurier Kind ertrunken? Leider ein bedauerliches Softwareproblem. Da kann man nichts machen

Abusing a bug in java.lang.String to make "hello world" not start with "hello".

Plus a challenge: make an empty String that is not equal to "".

If they get away with this though its probably just a matter of time until other printer vendors follow suit...

[Simon Taddiken @ProjectPolly]

Looks like I'm affected by https://t.co/hTEKYQWECL
Needless to say that I declined the upate and instead added a new firewall rule that disconnects the printer from the internet.
Should think twice before buying an @HP printer in the future

Rare image of the product designer that decided it would be a good idea to put a bright, always-on, blue LED on a USB charger

I've now finally added gas consumption tracking using @home_assistant and ESPHome

There is a little magnet in the wheel that represents consumption of 1/100 m³. Via a reed sensor I'm able to count revolutions of that wheel

[Simon Taddiken @ProjectPolly]

Finally added energy consumption monitoring of the whole house to my homeassistant using homeassistant-glow by @klaasnicolaas Pretty neat!

[Simon Taddiken @ProjectPolly]

Lol, my bank just did the exact same thing...

Is there even one sensible reason why someone would put a restriction on password length? Do folks not have enough compute power to calculate a hash from 30 characters?

HP printer truncates the admin password without a warning when setting it. When logging in, it rejects the allegedly correct password🤡 @PWTooStrong
