We can't speed up the compiler, but we can help people structure their project in a better way. 😉
I'm really looking forward to Mimir, I'll try to add that as an honourable mention.

Best of luck! 🍀
See you in Offenbach, hopefully. 😂

Maarten discussing the OpenTemetry Maven Extension

Benjamin explaining the order in which Surefire runs your tests and the impact it may have on the overall performance of your build.

Last night, @bmarwell.de and I had a nice dress rehearsal for our talk at @javaland.bsky.social next week.

Looking for practical guidance on how to improve the performance of your Maven build? Join us next week on Wednesday, 14:00 to learn more!

On the road! See you tonight @jughannover.bsky.social?

Fiber in-availability in Hannover

Nothing even planned... I'm in the East on the map, right where B65 ends

I wish I knew. Maybe the landlord, because I doubt they'd invest money for something they don't see need in. (Landlord is the city of Hanover).

A screenshot from Star Trek: Discovery showing Kovich (one of the very few characters in Star Trek to be seen in eyeglasses) on the right looking at Scooter the Muppet who is missing his trademark glasses. He looks straight at the camera with two little eyeballs that are honestly a little off-putting if you're familiar with the character.

Day 115 of inserting a Muppet into a Star Trek screenshot

#StarTrek #StarTrekDiscovery #TheMuppets

It's 2026, I'm living in Hanover, the state capital of Lower Saxony. Over half a million population.

And still no fibre internet, 2026.

Oh, and Telekom (my ISP) has a peering handbrake in their network.

2026, that is. 😵‍💫

btrfs failed me twice now. First, ~6yrs ago when `mount -o recovery` segfaulted any system.

Today after deleting lots of files, just like so. Inconsistent data.

So, `mount -o ro`, rsync, make a new zfs pool instead, rsync everything back and never look at btrfs again. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Me? Haven't touched Java 8 in years and Windows in decades... I'm (on paper) one of the Maven Maintainers. 😉

Surefire and Failsafe stop working on latest versions of Windows due to missing wmic · Issue #3176 · apache/maven-surefire Affected version 3.5.4 or later Bug description Windows 11 or later is missing wmic utility due to deprecation. Surefire and Failsafe use this utility internally, and thus fail to work on Windows 11

TIL that @maven.apache.org surefire depends on the wmic tool on #windows - which was recently dropped without a replacement by Microsoft.
Now if you use Java 9+, we can work around that, but surefire on Java 8 on Windows? Meh. ☹️

Das muss man sich mal geben. An allen Ecken und Enden wird privatisiert, inkl. Infrastruktur. Privatisierung heißt oft auch Profitmaximierung, denn Redundanz kostet.

Welch Chuzpe, dass ausgerechnet die Frau des ehemaligen Finanzministers (FDP) der Stadt Berlin die Schuld gibt. 🙄

Thanks! 😃

How I Got Deindexed by Google (And How I Fixed It) | Ben’s Build and B(r)ass Notes From 400 indexed pages to just 10: my journey through a Google deindexing nightmare and the comprehensive technical and content improvements that brought my blog back.

Happy new year!

As my #blog got de-indexed by #Google, I created an extensive write-up of what I did to get back into the index!
It's full of typical information, and I think it's an interesting story, too.

Let me know what you think!

Ja aber jetzt sehe ich den Fehler. Ich muss mich neu einloggen bei bsky und finde aber den logout nicht 🙈
Oder an meine Apache Adresse per Mail..?

Ich! DM ging nicht, "failed to create conversation" ☹️
