I finished Cursed Daughters by Oyinkan Braithwaite. First book for me in 2026. It was ok-ish in the end. I think family dramas are not my thing. I still find it weird that there were lots of exclamations in Yoruba that were not translated. 3/5 imho. If you like family dramas read it. #books2026
I am on Page 193 of a book I am still not sure if I like it (Cursed Daughters by Oyinkam Braithwaite). Since I am more than 50% in I I’ll finish it but from time to time I think that I‘d like to read something else - at the same time the short chapters really help to get through the book.
Pacemaker and #MySQL / #MariaDB did work sometime in the past and now I think I have no reliable setup anymore and pacemaker/corosync make more problems than they help 😣 #linux #ha
I am currently watching the “Hacking washing machines”-talk from #39c3
There is someone out there who had to develop the algorithm for redistributing the clothes in the washing machine drum depending on the measurements of the unbalance sensor.
Den aktuellen Low Point als Lieferdienstleister für mich als Empfänger bietet #UPS
Alle Pakete gehen zu einem Paketshop mit sehr schlechten Öffnungszeiten und ich bekomme keinerlei Information. Ich muss manuell ins Tracking gehen, um zu schauen was mit dem Paket ist und sehe die Ankunft per Zufall.
Finally reading through #Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0 and it has stuff I thought about house ruling (like flashbacks to speed up games). So far I really like it.
One of the pregens has a Capybara mentor spirit. That made my day! 😂 #sra2
I really want to like #LibreOffice but it just hanged reproducible when I changed the wipe-transition from top-bottom to left-right. Gnah.
Das Problem, dass ich mit dem #DiDay persönlich habe, ist dass ich regelmäßig alle Familienmitglieder mit überzeugen muss. Das ist regelmäßig leider nicht so einfach. Da gewinnt dann doch gerne Komfort/Bekanntes gegenüber Neuem oder Alternativlösungen 😕
I watched a documentary about the Yakuza and my next step was ordering the Outrage-trilogy by Takeshi Kitano…
ARTE hat gerade eine ganz interessante Doku zur Yakuza:

There are authors who publish solely on Amazon because they want to be part of Kindle Unlimited. And then they need to do stuff like a Patreon, so that they can give books to readers outside of the Amazon-verse 🤦♂️
Is it really worth it?

Fun! In 2026 there is apparently a live action Masters of the Universe-movie coming.
And now I figured out that I can use my calibre-web-server with koreader and readest. Actually this means I have now a better state for my use case than when using Amazon. I can directly download to my e-reader from my self-hosted library and can sync progress with a self-hosted solution. #ebooks
Cool, I have now self-hosted koreader-sync and I can use Readest on my iOS-devices to sync (and I can even download directly from my calibre-web-server) and have koreader on my Pocketbook. This is awesome!
We bought a used Mac for our kid, so that we can use it with screen time. And now it seems screen time is completely broken. It reports several hours of usage time for apps when our kid was asleep or didn’t have their iPhone, it doesn’t reliably allow to permit time for apps on macOS etc. 🤬 #apple
I tried now to make mu4e work for me (on macOS) for a couple of days and it just doesn’t. Auto-updates don’t work reliably, notifications do not really work, even sending mails sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Too much work to move to it. Sometimes you just need to know when to stop. #emacs
Year 2025 in #running compared to 2024:
- Distance: 1344km → 2000km
- Marathon: nil → 4:20:33 (a bit disappointed)
- 26,8km: 2:45:07 → 3:06:45 (so much pain)
- 25km: 2:41:32 → 2:19:20 (first high)
- 10km: 49:27 → 47:40 (1 minute faster than I expected)
- 5km: 25:xx → 22:23 (90sec faster than expected)
Happy!
Apparently when you migrate from an iPhone to a new one permissions to access files from other apps breaks. I tried to access files in WorkingCopy via relative links from Plainorg and Orgro and had to grant access. That didn’t work (no errors). After re-installing them it worked again. #iOS
