TL;DR: Umarells are idle people clustering around places of work, observing and offering advice to those who work, but not working themselves.

Enrico Zini, remember your post on Umarells 10 years ago? https://www.enricozini.org/blog/2013/debian/umarells/stating your definition is an interim until it is found in the dictionary? Well, it is now in Zingarellis, the italian dictionary at least."Pensionato che si aggira, per lo più con le mani dietro la schiena, presso i cantieri di lavoro, controllando, facendo domande, dando […]

Another day, another train trip with #deutschebahn. Directly from Hamburg to Basel without changing trains, what can possibly go wrong?Turns out a DELAY of (currently) 30 Minutes of the train which STARTS here because of a 'delayed preparation of the train' or something.

"Zwei Aktivisten der Gruppe Letzte Generation haben am Montag, 23. Oktober 2023, das Audimax der Universität Hamburg auf dem Campus Von-Melle-Park mithilfe von Feuerlöschern mit Farbe besprüht.

It is 2023, why is it so difficult to set up a uni #Peertube instance with […]

My wife is about to go by train today.Me (joking): You should check whether your connection hasn't been canceled.She: (checks) Shit, the train has been canceled!Me: Uh oh. [crawls silently into a dark corner]I should stop making stupid jokes. Or German #Bahn could get their act together and have trains run when they are supposed […]

My son and me just pondered a new Youtube series. Hiking along the trails of this 1933 hiking book of the Hamburg suburbs and filming what we see. Together with research on how things were there back then. Did you know that I had an electric tram on the street in front of my house […]

How the heck can the train station for #Ancona Airport be named "Castelferreti" and not mention with a single word or sign that it is the station belonging to the 'international airport'. The platform is about 30 meters from the entrance of the thing.

If I order a wine, I get this (see picture). If I order a large beer I get beer in the exact same bottle with a waterglass for refilling. I do love #italy.P.S. I did not dare to take a picture of the beer caraffe at the restaurant table next to me....
