EZB-Zinsanhebung praktisch fix
In Österreich ist die Inflation schon seit März über der Dreiprozentmarke. Im Mai, so die Daten der Schnellschätzung vom Dienstag, stieg die Teuerung im gesamten Euro-Raum auf den höchsten Wert seit Herbst 2023. Bereits davor war – wegen des durch den Iran-Krieg ausgelösten Preisschubs – der Druck auf die EZB, den Leitzins anzuheben, groß. Nun ist eine Anhebung nächste Woche praktisch unausweichlich, so die einhellige Meinung von Analystinnen und Analysten. ⌘ Read more

Oh boy, it was bloody humid this morning. Just around 20°C when we left, but climbing rapidly. The flow of air when walking was okay, but as soon as we stopped, streams of sweat were pouring down on us. Luckily, it was cloudy, but the lack of wind was bad. Now, the sun is out, 29°C will be reached in an hour and I’m glad that the house is still cool. It will be a different story in a few weeks or months. Not looking forward to that at ll.
On the bright side, we saw the first tadpoles of the year and an also first, but sadly dead slow worm that probably some bird dropped on a bench next to the fountain. The fly was stuck to its feast and also cactus. The municipality fixed the railing nicely and we came across a giant patch of great looking fire bugs on the summit.
All in all, a successful stroll through the woods but for the humid heat.

Kernel prepatch 7.1-rc5
The 7.1-rc5 kernel prepatch is out for

I’m not entirely happy about it - most of this is totally trivial
stuff to random drivers, which obviously makes it all less scary,
but at the same time I’m really not convinced the churn is worth it
at rc5 time. These things are “fixes”, sure, but at the same time a
lot of them are simply so irrelevant that I think they’d be better
off in a linux-next tree and get merged during the merge window. … ⌘ Read more
