Less good news. Before #KPN said there is #fiber at my new #house. Today I checked to move it. Suddenly not only is there no more fiber, but the max speed is 65Mbit/s down, 16Mbit/s up 😭.

I had 2,5 years #fiberdrama at my current rental house until I had fiber, and that half broken copper cable had double this speed 😥. And now it starts all over again. Changing ISP is not an option for me.

At least the house itself is really nice. But fuck KPN...

😿 I just archived my Python-RSA project, one I (and a few fellow students) started 20 years ago. It's been used in many projects, including some high-profile ones, which is fantastic and scary at the same time. That's also why I chose to not hand over the keys to someone else. Instead, I archived the project, to be forked and brought to a new life under a new name.

One of the most extraordinary musicians to date is Billie Holiday.
I don't know what it is that makes her so magical. I've always listened to her music, even though it's not really my thing. I think Lady Day has this depth because she knows what she's singing about. She grew up in a brothel as a child, most likely experiencing all the hardships one could imagine. She became the absolute superstar of the young jazz scene. She was especially loved by the white “enlightened” bourgeoisie, who liked to look at negroes on stage. Hypocritical and dishonest as they are to this day, Ms. Holiday was only allowed to use the back entrance.
Just like today, they claim that this humiliation was not at all their fault but that of the evil racists somewhere in the south behind the mountains. But it's not true! Just like today, they are hypocrites and liars, worse racists than the KKK could ever be. Shame on you!
In retrospect, it can be said that Ms. Holiday left behind wonderfully sad, deep, incredibly beautiful songs. Only at what a price.
Thanks to Allene Sweetwater Lynn I tried to pay my tribute.
