Apparently every magician who is doing video-tutorials that you can only buy, tells in interviews how you have to stay away from YouTube because every tutorial there is crap anyways.
Now I need to integrate Mail better with org-mode. But mu4e isn’t as good as I remember, I don’t like the notmuch-interface and the perl-script I found for capturing from mutt with .org-capture does not work for me :/
After using Todoist for a while again, I am back to org-mode in spacemacs. With beorg and Working Copy I can sync with git with iOS. I also get more into using it as a note-taking app.

Whey is cardistry and sleight of hand so hard? I am trying now for several hours to do a descent top shot and I get them right once in like 20 tries :/
And my current state of trust in card games is a serious “never play with people you do not know”
I just watched a short Shin Lim-performance and at the end it is clear that he forced the card at the beginning, and suddenly I am watching the beginning over and over again how the hell he did the force…my watching habits definitely changed. #magic
Fellow IT-people: when you are not a freelancer, do you take additional customers that will pay you money for your services or do you keep it at family support? I’m hesistant to do so because usually it is not “do it once” but usually they expect then support, if something breaks
Yeah. It is Tuesday and I am finished with the preparations for the next Curse of Strahd-session (Death House, part 2). That one might be a deadly one. #rpg #dnd
It arrived :D
In terms of hobbies where I can also have fun with my kids, magic beats so far everything. They want to be an audience, they want to know how stuff works, they want to try stuff themself. It is great :)
Oh, and it is astonishing what you can already do with a couple of mediocre sleights, a double lift and a bit of card control. #cardmagic
My older son told me about a magician that comes to their school. He worked out the tricks, cause he did really bad sleights by flashing to him the coin he palmed etc. He knew how the tricks worked but didn’t tell because he didn’t want to be the annoying spectator. Well done!
A short follow up. After my kid tried it twice, I asked him to hand me over the cards. I exchanged the cards snapped the finger and the right card was on top. He was flabbergasted. That was really cute ;)
Ok…so I could fool my kids with a couple of magic tricks. Nice. We all had fun :) The cutest thing was when the little one wanted to show the trick my wife, snapped his finger and the wrong card turned up. Snapped again, still the wrong card ;)
Shin Lims final performance in AGT is just out of this world
I have to say thought that I’d like to be more minimalistic andcould reduce my consumerist behavior. And regarding software: I use tools like mutt and vim because they make me productive. Use the tools that make you more productive and don’t trash talk other peoples tools.
Regarding minimalists: I still find those fun that own like a hundred things and one of them is a smartphone and one is a kindle. And they don’t mention how many ebooks, pieces of music and apps are on those. I bet often they are not really minimalistic ;)
This “your software is more bloated than yours” feels like a similar elitism like those from “militant” minimalists: look, I own only 10 things and my life is so much better than yours because of this. Fap, fap, fap… Minimalism is fine but this behavior just annoys me massively…
When I read those articles about bloated software like vim I always wonder what for machines these people use or files they edit, that they see a difference in their daily usage.
Just read yet another article how bloated vim is in contrast to nvi. Luckily even my slowest computer, a 1.6 GHz-dual core Atom from nearly 10 years ago with 2MB Ram, is performant enough that I do not really see a difference in my use cases (even with plugins etc).
Hm…I just figured out how I can”teleport” a card from hand to the other. This still needs a lot of exercise but that should work. Neat. #cardmagic
I am starting to understand some card magic performances and the whole thing becomes even more interesting when I have an idea how it works and see how skilled the people are who created and doing them. Shin Lim is not so magic anymore but I am more impressed by his performance.

That soccer game was a party and I had an awesome time with the big one. I can understand sports fans a lot better now.

Knowing how some of the sleight of hands-stuff work makes good magicians even more magical to me. The bad ones you see what they do, the mediocre you see it, when you know how it works but the good ones, there I just ask myself: What? How? It made magic more magically to me.
Today I could for the first time successfully let a card vanish in front of my kids: “Where did you put it, dad?” Short silence “Ah, I know, it is on the back of your hand” Slowly but surely I am getting there. :) And my dribble gets better, getting close to an anaconda :)

FreeBSD put up a CoC and the assholes came from the community or were unrelated but the “leaders” put up the CoC. I should have a look at Linux distributions and what they have done regarding CoCs and main people who cannot behave.

And if you do not have an idea what a Flicker Shot is, have a look here: youtu.be/ktq2Ta41-… When I saw that move the first time I thought: how the hell is this possible‽ I need to know how this works.
I bought last month and this month a couple of tutorials and it seems that it will take ages until I learned that stuff properly. But I really like those cardistry-moves (hello Flicker Shot) and prefer sleight of hand-magic far beyond gimmicky magic tricks.
Interesting thing about the world of magic and cardistry: I can’t find pirated videos and there seems to be an ethical consensus that you do not distribute content that wasn’t meant by the artist to be made public. Or I am too stupid to search but I like the ethics-thing better.
I really want to write but I have no story to tell :/

Und diese am braunen Sumpf fischenden Politiker fühlen sich beleidigt, wenn man sie mit Nazis vergleicht. Aber auch sie wollen nur Hass in der Gesellschaft auf andere. Damit lässt sich wohl gerade Stimmenfang betreiben. Das ist doch alles kaputt gerade.
Mein Gefühl ist, dass die Journalisten aus Angst vor Fake News-Rufen einer „besorgten“ Minderheit jetzt genau das hinkritzeln was diese lesen wollen (oder sehen bei Talkshows): Hass! Und dann sagen sie, dass sie ja nichts dafür können, wenn Hass gegen andere das neue normal wird.

Using this netbook means using the cli a lot but nearly 8 hours of battery are pretty awesome. I wonder how well the machine runs when I add the 2nd GB of RAM. But right now I am using usually only around 700MB #openbsd #i3

I solved my LibreOffice-problem (setting a background image in the bottom left corner scaled and get it displayed correctly in presentation mode) by creating the presentation in another tool, saving it as pptx, then open it in LO. Now it works and can be edited. What the Bug?
After years and years of using Keynote I have to create a presentation in LibreOffice Impress. And it sucks even more than PowerPoint. Who would have thought that this is possible?
Can anyone recommend me a mailing list for mail-administrators in general? I know only some which are specific to a certain software. But I want for example talk about spam fighting tactics.
The scale is broken :( Do I get now a normal one for 20€ or is there any good reason to get an expensive one with WiFi, Bluetooth etc.? I guess a scale that measures body fat is only useful when it has this sensor you hold in your hands, isn’t it?
I downloaded this PenPal-app from the AppStore because I like the concept of it. But it makes me kind of feeling old because I get only messages from like 18 year olds. The oldest person I met so far is 24 I think. That they don’t take age into consideration when matching people.

I did it! After two weeks of search I finally solved my NFS-problem! I was so desperate. It wasn’t the NFS and some people owe me something because they always derailed me from the real solution.
I just did a mathematical proof where I was unsure when I started. Then I read in the forum of the math course which made me uncertain what to do. I read more stuff, I was even more unsure and in the end I used a solution which feels like “that’s too simple; it can’t be this one”

I just added todos with syntax highlighting for Pascal and different warning-times when their deadline approaches for the programming tasks I have to do for university. This rocks and even beats OmniFocus.
Hm, idea for mastodon-instances: in-character-instances for role playing games. So you have a Shadowrun-instance for example were every user has a Shadowrun-character as which they post. And then federate only with other Shadowrun-instances.

Using now a org-mode in spacemacs for a week or two and I am quite happy with it. Using spacemacs for general editing doesn’t feels as comfortable as with vim in the console though so far. But I use vim now for years and spacemacs only for a rather short time.

The registry Raddix apparently automatically deactivates domains without notification when they land on the RBL SURBL and reactivates when your domain got removed. So, don’t register any domains which have their TLD administered by Raddix.
Bento. Yummy 😋
The internet doesn’t like that I host my own mail. First the domain of my mail-server got deactivated (it‘s running again after a week, yeah). Now the VM is down because there are backend-problems -.-

1Password became now LastPass with 1Password X?
My domain is now down for 5 days. In the future I know that I will have a look at the registry before registering a domain and I think to move the service provider where I register my domains. Their reaction times are far too slow…
SoliMate
A reminder: do backup your data. You never know what might happen.
30 minutes from setting the downtimes until both OpenBSD-servers were updated to 6.3 incl all packages. Nice. Only IPv6 does not work as expected. I have to look into that.
And yes, OpenBSD 6.3 got released :)
grep comes really from ed (g/re/p) but sed is the stream editor and is based on qed (quick editor) and ed.

I don’t know how and why but DNS is utterly broken for my domains. And it even doesn’t matter which dns-servers are responsible. One domain is on Cloudflare and adding a new subdomain doesn’t do anything :(

Each time I have to deal with iptables be it through “iptables” or “firewall-cmd” I really wish I would have pf available…
I have to think about BSD/Linux-sysadmin-Interview questions. That is harder than I expected…and when I google around I have to say that I don’t like questions like “how does sudo work? What are its disadvantages”
I am thinking about inlcuding “pf or iptables?” though ;)

I tried now the browser Brave on iOS. I can’t use sites with basic auth and there is no way to get bookmarks from other browsers into it apparently. I am not really sure why I should use it. Do the other content blockers on iOS block so much less than Brave?
What I don’t understand: “Why can’t people can quit Facebook”? There was a time when they joined it for some reason. Why aren’t they able to join another service now. Isn’t it mainly a chicken-and-egg-situation and the unwillingness trying to carry people over to another service?
While learning math I always ask myself: how did someone come up with this stuff? Especially when I look for example at algebraic structures like rings and bodies.

Since beorg can sync with WebDAV I even can use nextcloud to sync my files and do not have to use Dropbox.
After two days getting into org-mode with spacemacs and beorg (iOS) I am getting more comfortable and it really seems that I finally found a worthy replacement for OmniFocus (and OmniOutliner actually as I was using it) which I really miss since my switch to Linux.
Current state: I have 8 todo-apps installed (without Due and Reminders) installed on my phone…when getting your todos right seems to matter more than doing your todos…
First session of Uncharted Worlds and the players randomly created 5 factions by rolling dice. We now have:

What is your favorite way to handle todos and sync them between iOS and Linux/*BSD (thus a webapp on the desktop would be acceptable as well)?

I need to test something
Dropbox has at least articles about how they work on getting compliant with the GDPR until May 25th. Interesting. But when MS looses at the Supreme Court, it all falls with Privacy Shield probably.
Nozbe is a polish service (so it is EU) but its servers are in the US and Japan. And Japan is surprisingly as I learned today not a secure country for storing data in regards to the GDPR and I bet they don’t have any corporate binding rules or Standard Contract Clauses…
On iOS even Todotxt-apps cannot really be used because they sync with Dropbox. That is part of privacy shield. But that is still kind of risky.
I looked around today and you probably cannot use pretty much any online todo-service for your business-needs if you want to follow the #GDPR. No one seems to be part of privacy shield or has its data obviously in the EU. Probably Things but they are Apple-only.
GTD stands for Getting Things Done. Or “Global Terrorism Database”…
There are modern web services that allow only 12-character passwords. Oo The same service has no privacy policy as well on its website and no info how my data is secured. It has interesting features for my GTD-needs, but I still won’t use that…
I am taking part in a training on the European General Data Protection Regulation. I could also call it: “How you will be able to annoy your European start-up”-training.
This is already a twist at the start of my studies: I was afraid of math and suddenly it gets more and more fun because each successful solved task where I had to do a „little trick“ I figured out myself, is such a sense of achievement that I just want to go on and on 😃
I am so bad at math that I have to color-code steps because I won’t know tomorrow how it worked…
Something is not working as expected…
Hm…

I solved my duplicate host-problem (same host, two names with identical IPs in the FritzBox) now by restarting the FritzBox…
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
I am using Fedora 27 on my laptop and a FritzBox by AVM as my home router/dns-multipurpose-network-thingy. Any ideas why my ULA resolves to a wrong FQDN (netcat-2.fritz.box instead of netcat.fritz.box) and how I could fix this?

Challenges with the children’s birthday party: some kids eat only white chocolate, other kids only helal. Well, luckily both is not so much of a problem here :)
Now I even have to read the privacy policies of mobile apps. An app on the AppStore for opening LibreOffice-files sends all files to the server of the dev for preparing them for the app. This is not mentioned when you open the app, only in the help and privacy policy. WTF?
Social network based on a blockchain. No, you won’t delete this post, we will never forget.

Ich lese seit Jahrzehnten mal wieder die Drei ??? Ich habe total vergessen wieviel mehr Details in den Büchern als in den Hörspielen sind. Und manches kommt mir vor, als ob ich es nie gelesen hätte (zB der Super-Papagei)
Hmm: „You may not: (i) modify, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the Mobile Software, except to the extent that such restriction is expressly prohibited by law“ #vero
Interesting: Vero declares that I own my content but I give them more or less permission to do anything with it (which they technically need for the service) but it is „irrevocable“. Thus they directly say that they will never delete my content even when I close my account.
I am getting old: I read about a new online service and instead of clicking myself directly an account, I read the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use before I do anything else…
Interesting mail header: X-Recruiting: Interested in headers? Join us: www.groupon.com/techjobs/
Google Music and other streaming-services seem to be like Netflix: music gets deleted & re-added depending on licensing I guess. Well, it’s just a subscription and you do not own the music. But I pay now more for music because of streaming in a year than I did ever before
The Google Support doesn’t seem to know what it is doing and seems to be less knowledgeable about things like gmail/googlemail in its accounts than me…
Ich fange jetzt an die Drei ??? als ebooks nachzukaufen. Fast 200 Bände (ohne Sonderteile)…das wird dauern.

My biggest problem with the BulletJournal so far: I can’t carry the book and/or a pen around with me. It seems I’ll move back to my phone again. And I know me: I’ll try first a plain-text method and a month later I am back at Todoist.
I am close to shutting down my blog. In Germany you are more or less forced to publish your mail-address, phone-number and address (you can even find my phone number). Yeah for lots of data privacy rules…as long as you aren’t using your own stuff. But isn’t it too late anyways?
I read once again a book about living in North Korea and I can only recommend it: Ishikawa, Masaji: A River in the Darkness. One Man’s Escape from North Korea

Tutorials either assume you have no knowledge at all on the CLI or you have sufficient knowledge and explain too much. But you don’t need to know iptables in the beginning. Just how to drop all the traffic without shutting yourself out, open up new ports and make it persistent.
I set up a VM for my nephew and that let me realize that I don’t know about any good tutorials about setting up your first (Linux)-servers and making them secure immediately (especially not in German). Like build it, set good passwords,use sudo, set up an ssh-key, set up a FW etc

Ich hab dann übrigens jedes Kapitel vom Buch angelesen und dann übersprungen. Selbst die von Kling inkl dem Känguru-Kapitel waren nicht dolle. Sehr enttäuschend.
Diese zwei Sammlungen an Kurzgeschichten von Marc-Uwe Kling und seinen Kollegen kann ich überhaupt nicht empfehlen.
Lese ich das Buch jetzt weiter, weil ich dafür Geld ausgegeben habe oder lass ich es links liegen, weil es Mist ist?
Things that kind of frightening me about myself: I have fun configuring and working with Jira and Confluence…
There should be a kill-switch: „Tour device is too out-of-date and isn’t allowed to connect to the internet anymore.”
At least that would generate pressure to update all this old stuff (customer- and enterprise-devices).
Old Android devices are so broken… a device from 2012 doesn’t know root certs from end of 2010. And people connect those things to the internet…
Sebastian Lemann: „Ich war dumm mit einundzwanzig, ich habe die Grünen gewählt und dachte trotzdem, ich wäre links.“ In: Über Arbeiten und Fertigsein. Real existierender Humor
In den Büchern von Marc-Uwe Kling und seinen Kollegen, schreibt mindestens einer ihäufig, dass Kling so bekannt wäre und dass die Leute nur wegen ihm kämen. Leider ja. Das Känguruh ist witzig und regt zum Denken an. Die Kollegen tun leider weder noch :/
I told myself I wanted to read more at the end of last year. 7 books in 12 days…good pace so far I guess But I probably slow down now. I kind of like the concept of sleep.
Seriously: read the Twenty Palaces-novels by Harry Connolly. Start with Child of Fire. I read now three books and one novella in 6 days. They are terrific Urban Fantasy-entertainment. Only one book left (the prequel). Meh. I hope he writes more soon.
What I still don’t understand about Meltdown and Spectre is, how targeted the attacks can be. Can I get only some random memory, can I dump everything, can I aim for example for a certain process (like the password manager of a user in a different vm) etc…
Why is there yet another actor for Spider-Man in Homecoming?
DarkSeoul? Those names are sometimes really weird…
Sukiyaki in the making
„A Burglar‘s Guide to the City“ is not really what I expected and there are often passages where I thought that they could have been shortened. So far 3 out of 5 (page 157 of 296)
Update: Finished it now. Pretty good book after all. 4 out of 5 , sometimes a bit too long. I would have hoped that there is more about architecture and more details in terms of weaknesses. And I think about getting some lockpicks again.
Uncharted Worlds seem to be the better choice for our group than Traveller. Simpler rules, more or less the same setting. And simple rules are king when you play only once a month imho.
TIL: HumbleBundle doesn’t show you when you purchased a bundle already. But double purchases seem so normal, that they are in the pull-down for support requests 🤦♂️
The Pilot Frixion Gel Pen is really good. Its grip is great, it dries fast and the eraseability is awesome.
A friend went into an electronic discounter & got a laptop recommended with 4GB RAM and a slow HDD. The moment windows update does stuff it gets slow as hell & she wonders what the problem could be. Dear discounters people really think they get good advice from your sales people.
Tomorrow I‘ll receive a new Bulletjournal and Frixion gel pens. Let‘s see if I can get into paper again in 2018. For studying I believe in paper more anyways for taking notes and exam preparation. Laptops are great for writing papers but not for getting stuff into your head.
As I have written before I will soon start studying CS part-time. Any recommendations for getting through math (besides visiting every session and doing all the homework - that’s how I got through all those math (or heavy on math) courses in economics at least)? Any good books?
And the next question is: what do your roleplaying-characters tell about you?
How does it come that the bios of my shadowrun-characters get darker & grittier the older I get? In the past it was the cool hacker, the war hero who used his skills in a more profitable way. Today it is the hardened criminal, abused as a kid, trying to survive in a world of pain
What do I do next as a private project? Move my wordpress-installation (right now on a FreeBSD-VM) to OpenBSD or move it to jails (one nginx/php, one MySQL) in FreeBSD…hm…
Ich empfehle übrigens allen Quality Land von Marc-Uwe Kling zu lesen oder zu hören. Gerade denen die Technikentwicklung und mögliche Folgenabschätzung nicht so verfolgen. Das Hörbuch macht Spaß aber auch Sorgen.
I really like how Fitbit sends me a mail when my Charge 2 is nearly empty, so that I know that I should recharge it soon
My main use of Japanese these days: answering questions on Quora from time to time I wish it could be more useful.

There were some snapshots on my FreeNAS from June that didn’t get deleted. They just used up several hundred GB and I wondered where all my space went.
Mr Robot Season 3 finished. Now I curious about things to come.
I want this, too: in Iceland there is a tradition that people give each other books as Christmas presents, open them right away and read the rest of the evening while drinking hot chocolate etc jolabokaflod.org/about/fou…
freebsd-update forgot to install three files which led to me not being able to log in anymore after a reboot. Yeah ipmi. Copied the files from my machine to an iso, mounted that, copied the files to the correct location and it worked again. What a fuck up
I added today the task “Develop master plan for 2018” onto my todo-list for tomorrow… 1.5 weeks left until vacation \o/
Yeah, the certificate from my university came and I have now officially a Magister. And in good old Magister-tradition I needed 20+ semesters ;)
And tonight I will fill out the application for starting a B.Sc.-program in Computer Science :)

Ok, Bud Spencer und Terence Hill auf Italienisch zu sehen ist ungewohnt.
Well, FML. macOS 10.13, root-problem published. I set a root-password. I install Security 2017-001 which should fix the problem. I couldn’t even unlock with the set pw, thought I mistyped. I installed 10.13.1 and root works without a password again. Thanks Apple!
And his wive is actually the one who makes the career and he has to move with her and not the other way around. And she looks like a „normal“ woman not like some super sexed up doll. #diehard
Odd thing I find fascinating about Die Hard 1 & 2 is that the hero doesn’t get the some new girl in each movie but that he just tries to save his wive and wants to see his kids.
Why does it at least feel like there are so many tutorials, books and courses about shell-scripting that are just about bash but not about POSIX-shell scripting? With the latter one people can write portable scripts.

I read a biography about RMS and now I am really thinking about calling the OS GNU/Linux and not just Linux.
I hate computers…
Since kids can unlock their parents iPhone Xs with FaceID I can’t wait for the news coming out when the first kid emptied their parents credit card with in-app purchases.
I call this sunday “whiny sunday”
And now the migration assistant fucks up. Once upon a time Intold people to get Macs because “It just works” Apple what happened to you?
Ha, I have an „alias -s py=python“ in my zshrc That‘s why it is not working
What the hell? The shebang-works when called from bash but not in zsh? Oo
I am on Fedora 27 and a #!/usr/bin/env python3 gives me #python 2.7 according to sys.version
But when I run env python3 in the shell it shows me python 3.6
Why???
Woohoo, I have a booting system again. Let’s get this data from the backup again onto the system. Via USB 2……
An installation- or major upgrade fuck up makes you hate probably any operating system…
Now I try a clean install of High Sierra from a USB-stick. Let’s see if this works out :/
Yep, crash with the same problem. A couple of hours wasted. Now to the USB-installer. Meh. It needs ages to download with this slow connection. Thanks Apple for showing me what is great about the BSDs and Linux. #macos #update
Fuck. Now the damn thing might be stuck again and no eff-ing information what is happening. Argh. #macos #update
And there is no log and no verbosity at all. Why Apple? I want to know what the computer is doing.
After waiting for over an hour while looking at an install-screen for macOS, it rebooted and tells me now „Installing: 45 minutes“, „Installing: estimated time is being calculated“ (roughly translated from German. This is no fun…

I’d really like to take part in a politics or economics-podcast. Or at least have an interesting conversation about those areas. I really miss that from university :/
I just saw Die Hard. Those were the times where my studies in Japanese science and economics probably would have been more “profitable” than my hobby “doing stuff with computers”.
From a book about operating systems: „Idle lawyers tend to become politicians, so there is a certain social value in keeping lawyers busy.“ (Operating System Concepts Essentials)
Cars 3 was faaaar better than expected :D
And now: two overly happy kids

Watched Stranger Things, did some dumbbell training and meditated. Sounds like a good Sunday evening
Today‘s The Daily is imho one of the best produced podcast-episodes I‘ve listened to in a long time. Besides that it is interesting mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/1…
I need to start meditating again.

Your security-software can’t authenticate on my mail server. „The settings seem to be standard. Can you try it on port 25 without SSL?“
No…and I even have to reconfigure submission for allowing auth w/out TLS…
Pinocchios Schlaraffenland wurde heute im Kindertheater mit Sonnenstuhl, VR-Brille und Diskokugel dargestellt. Der Fuchs war nen Alki und die Katze hat gekokst. Sehr abgefahrenes Stück.
I have to look into Bitwarden. That might be a way to replace password-store for me and have a self-hosted password manager solution for the family.
TIL there is SNI for pop3, imap and smtp. But clients do not necessarily support it.
Monitoring: a cron job, which runs a script to let a command write something into a file and send it per mail. Because it is the fastest way to implement this as a quick fix. I bet some day it will be explained with “because of reasons” m) #sysadminslife
This page is nearly completely part of my pile of shame. How many hours are this? 300, 400 or even more?
Woohoo, I got a message from the university that I passed everything in Japanese Science and Economics and will get my certificate in 4 weeks \o/
The repo for the game: dissent on github #rpg
For the thing I have in mind right now the working title probably changes from „Menschmaschinen“ to „Dissent“
Instead of doing more posts about a game on the blog, I think I will start soon-ish a github-repo where I write in public. Issues for feedback, pull requests for corrections ;) #rpg
And now: Mr. Robot
Isn’t it part of studying to get deep into a topic even outside of that what is in your curriculum? Get yourself knowledge in the topics you are studying and try to get knowledge beyond that? It is not school anymore, you should get beyond the script from the prof.
I am listening to a podcast about how the university economics programs changed after the financial crisis. And I am only thinking: yes, they taught me mainly the mainstream and that was already a lot. But the rest I did in my off-time with books and papers.
And what I definitely like better than in Samus Returns: run, shoot while running and continue running instead of run, stop wait, wait for the massive attack, counter it, shoot, run. And the Metroid-fights aren’t so cumbersome. #metroid2
Ok, Metroid 2 is better than I remember. Thanks @retronauts for bringing me back to the game.
Hm, xfs allocates disc space dynamically dependent on file size - then a 4GB-file can become an 8GB-file…yeah… www.fromdual.com
Btw. it was also very annoying when I wrote that macOS and Apple-hardware is awesome (quiet, fast, long battery life) and some F/OSS-zealot came and told me that Apple sucks and that their computers are way overpriced.
Every time I say I don’t want to spend a ton of money on non-serviceable computers anymore, an Apple-zealot comes and tells me that F/OSS-systems suck and only power users can use them. It is so annoying.
She even thinks about using a Raspberry Pi because it might be sufficient ;)
When the MacBook Air dies, my wife will probably switch to Linux. We both don’t want to spend anymore more than 1500€ for a computer for our use cases.
I listened yesterday to newest Retronauts-episode about Metroid 2 and its remake. Now I really want to give Metroid 2 another chance.
The MacBook Air of my wife makes problems. Now I am thinking about what a replacement could be if it breaks down at some point…

A recruiting mail where I’d like to write: “Please read my profile before you send me your spam”
Aaahhhh
I ran into an edge-case of Exim and SRS. This cost me now 4 hours for 3 mails that couldn’t get sent out yesterday but work now. And I don’t think that this will get fixed.
I don’t know why but I am in an extremely good mood :D

I think that the Cyberpunk-like game will take up the „rebellion“-setting first. In the spirit of Walkaway, Little Brother and Homeland. There are enough games out there where you are the criminal for gain or on the opressors side.

How people react to “circle-instead-of-character count” on Twitter is soooo weird…
Ich finde es ein wenig nervig, dass die Podcasternachrichtencasts, die ich höre so viel über Trump berichten…
Gerade einen alten Twitter-Post von mir gesehen “Gibt’s bei Vollbeschäftigung freiwillige Arbeitslosigkeit”. Ja, Herr Kobschätzki, ja.
I wonder how bearable a git/taskpaper-Workflow with Working Copy and Taskmator on the iPhone is…on my computers it is pretty good though with my current working environment
