I may crowdfund a trip to Brno

@ljs we do not need any funded crowds tripping here

@oleksandr what are you afraid of? Scared I will take things out of your tree fridge?

@ljs bring own fridge btw, mine one is rented, and it's way too small

@oleksandr wait in Brno you are not permitted to own a fridge? This explains the tree fridge situation

@ljs bring your own tree too btw, it's a fucking concrete jungle here

@oleksandr ok so name the top 3 reasons to visit

@ljs did you know, our city council got one of the squares reconstructed, it's big, all about concrete and stones. They planted some weak trees, and those fucking BURNT during summer because of heat wave, lack of shadow and water

@oleksandr oh my that is SO Brno.

cc: @lkundrak @vbabka

@ljs we have a monument of three smoking vaginas in front of the city council. those are 3 reasons

@oleksandr WHAT

@ljs two penis monuments are on different squares btw

@oleksandr @ljs i hope the smoking signs are still there

@pony @oleksandr is there anything that doesn't smoke in Czechia??

@ljs @oleksandr industrial revolution is a serious thing

@pony @oleksandr it is like a steampunk wonderland

@ljs @oleksandr then there is my parents town with the one major feature

@pony @ljs disappearing slowly as vapour heating gets replaced by a hot water heating. some are still in place though

@pony @oleksandr this is a lovely chimney

@pony @ljs actually, this is a relatively old photo, isn't it? the street was reconstructed last year, so this one should not be there any more

@oleksandr @ljs yeah that must be quite old, like 10 years

@ljs @oleksandr don't you want to live there

@ljs @pony btw, in Brno we have a waste burning plant on one side of the city, and crematorium on the other side... one poet even wrote a poem about this

@pony @oleksandr this reminds me of osmething from lord of the rings

@oleksandr @pony there's so much to go into a tourist guide here

@oleksandr @ljs and both are near a tram line 8 stop, what a coincidence

@ljs @pony we already have TO JE BRNO guide...

@pony @ljs 8 stands for erected infinity

@ljs @pony oh new release https://www.darkyzbrna.cz/cti-brno/autenticky-pruvodce-to-je-brno-4/

@pony @oleksandr @ljs I grew up near Prunéřov. Only recently they demolished one of the two coal powerplants there...

@oleksandr @ljs vulvae, sir

@pony @oleksandr @ljs in the background: the statue of debt collector confiscating a washing machine

@oleksandr @ljs @pony oh no! i still got the kurim-bashing edition!

@pony @oleksandr @ljs :(

@oleksandr @ljs they should have planted some trees to provide the shadow

@lkundrak @pony @oleksandr @ljs not confiscating a fridge from a tree?

@vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ljs dude you figured it out

@oleksandr @pony I'm afraid @ljs misses a lot of context and quite some allusions. First, TO JE BRNO (This is Brno) alludes to a series of This is … books by Miroslav Šašek. For example, This is Prague:
https://www.arki.cz/to-je-praha/

@oleksandr @pony @ljs Second, talking of Prague, that city has a logo:

@oleksandr @pony @ljs There is also a similar logo of Brno:

@ptesarik @oleksandr @pony Brno is the gift that keeps giving.

And we've not even got on to Ostrava

@ljs @oleksandr @ptesarik ostrava got a designer studio to make them own logo which was received with a mix of wtf and lol, but they got bit cold feet about it and don't use it much

@pony @oleksandr @ptesarik genuinely lol'ing here

@pony @oleksandr @ljs That's a bad logo. It should read:

PYČO!!!

@ptesarik @oleksandr @ljs they use elements of it, like here on this bus, which also has an amazing backstory in the council just deciding they want, like, very much want, two double-decker buses for a line to the city zoo and spent several years trying to buy them because they have invented absurd demands and then only wanted to buy two and every bus manufacturer was like, wtf dudes, either buy stock or 200, we are not making two custom buses

@pony @oleksandr @ptesarik Ostrava is like a mythical place that I barely believe exists.

Brno was good but Ostrava is amazing

@ljs @oleksandr @pony Here's the fix for the logo BTW (sorry it took me 10 minutes; I had to learn GIMP first). Use at your own risk.

@ptesarik @oleksandr @pony no I had only one choice to put in https://social.kernel.org/ljs and the official logo was the only one

cc: @lkundrak

@pony @oleksandr @ptesarik @ljs unfortunately my home town seems to be winning this ugly logo contest since 2024. And they haven't backed off yet. https://www.facebook.com/share/dbgWZppVy3bWLjKE/

@vbabka @pony @oleksandr @ptesarik that can't beat Ostrava !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@pony @ljs @oleksandr @ptesarik it beats even my current lont's toothpaste vibes since few years ago.

@vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik or lice treatment

@ljs @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik help, I was building the C library and got an internal compiler error!

@vbabka @oleksandr @ptesarik @ljs but do you have cocaine lines

@pony @oleksandr @ptesarik @ljs weird as those also belong to Brno

@vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @ljs here's a logo for your library

@lkundrak @vbabka @oleksandr @ptesarik @ljs

KNI | HOVNA
KNI | SHIT
KNI | SCHEISSE
KNI | MERDE

@ljs @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @vbabka yeah, none can
🍷!!!

@vbabka @oleksandr @pony @ptesarik @ljs lol
the old logo was okay tho

@pony @oleksandr @ptesarik @ljs this logo is very cool actually
now all the city needs is a CVE number

@ptesarik

@ljs @oleksandr @pony

https://banicek-ostrava.estranky.cz/ where is banik? :)

@lkundrak @pony @oleksandr @ptesarik @ljs do you think Ostrava is vulnerable

@vbabka @oleksandr @pony @lkundrak @ljs Ostrava should become a CNA.

@vbabka @pony @lkundrak @ljs @ptesarik brilliant

@indy @ptesarik @oleksandr @pony what are these spartans?

@ljs @oleksandr @pony @indy Fans of Sparta Praha.
https://sparta.cz/en/

@ljs @oleksandr @pony @indy After the 22nd round, Sparta leads the chart and is sincerely hated by fans of all other teams. The club has a very long history of being hated (and loved).
