…apparently she didn’t sleep in her bed while shots were fired. The main questions for me are did police announce themself and why do people all the time carry guns with themselves around? Or is the case different from what The NY Times reported?

And one police office was at the outside and shot through the wall (seriously wtf?) and hit her, instead one of the cops in the apartment. And police cared about their own people first. The whole thing is fucked up, especially how the police missed important parts but…

What I do not get with Brennan Taylor after listening to The Daily: why do people say that she slept in her bed while she got shot? Apparently police invaded (loud or not), boyfriend was carrying and shot at the police, Breonna was next to him and police shot back.

Any tips and tricks I should or shouldn’t do with Tiefling bard I start playing soon? I don’t plan to play the always horny bard #dnd

So, Make America Medival Again?

Listening to the Daily and that republicans really do not keep “standards” they set themselves and that the US is setting itself up to illegalize abortion if possible.

I didn’t expect that deferring a todo to a later point of time in the day and how it is reflected in the badge of the todo-app is that important to me. A real advantage of #OmniFocus in comparison to #Things But I really like the Today/Evening-thing of Things.

DnD Beyond is pretty cool for character generation. But why can’t I manage equipment and stuff in the app itself but have to use the “Go to website”-button? :/

I have to hand in a .docx at work for some texts. Thus I fought today with word processors. But now I found out that pandoc can convert to .docx and here is a decent thesaurus-vim-plugin: github.com/Ron89/the…

Back to plain text and neovim :D

Serious question: if healthcare insurance is usually provided through the job in the US: what happens when you become unable to work (case A: accident at work, case B: accident outside of work, case C: sudden development of some serious disease)?

I wonder why Trump didn’t introduce The Purge yet via executive order…

Woohoo. Booked the family vacation in Denmark. :D

Just 10 hours in trains per trip >_<

There are insult generators for vicious mockery. I wished there was one for German. But I will definitely use those from the insult sowed fighting from Monkey Island. #dnd

I finally figured out how to solve a cube without using a cheat sheet. Even the last algorithms aren’t necessary anymore. Let’s see if it still works tomorrow.

Today was a hard day in my vegan, because of health-reasons, life. My wife made Chicken Katsudon and I couldn’t eat it. Usually I don’t have problems with eating vegan but tonight was really hard >_<

I built now my new DnD-character (a Tiefling Bard). Now I am thinking about commissioning some art.

Politics at the dinner table…trying to explain the 9-year old the gist of the Cold War, communism, socialism and capitalism…

I still have to look a couple of things up but I am now constantly sub 5 minutes with a 3x3-Rubik’s cube and sometimes even under 3 minutes. Nothing in comparison to speedcubers but I am slowly getting better :)

Just finished watching season 5 of Rita. That season was definitely different. I really liked the season and the series in total that guessing by the final scene found its end. Great that all character plots got resolved. I am a sucker for happy endings :)

I was excited about Lowlife 2090. And now I see it is D20-based :/ Maybe the Kickstarter is interesting for someone else though. Shadowrun but D20.

Cobra Kai is now on Netflix. If you haven’t watched it yet, do it. Especially if you liked Karate Kid. This series is so great!

I just found Mobile Frame Zero. A tactical tabletop game with Lego and manuals for building LEGO-mechs

Strahd is defeated, Barovia is saved, the heroes can return home. The campaign is over after ca. 2 years (monthly games plus Corona-interruption). Let’s see what comes next #cos #dnd #ttrpg

I finally solved my rubik’s cube. Apparently when I broke it one time, I assembled it not correctly and brought it into an unsolvable configuration. Figured it only out because of a rubik’s cube solver.

Current state of solving a Rubik’s cube: I somehow make it to the yellow cross and then I am giving away to despair.

There should be something like Lego Star Wars-scene sets. I.e. a Death Star and a dozen tiny tie fighters and some small X- and Y-Wings. And everything prepared so that you can suspend them from a ceiling or so.

Wait, what? The plan for putting up Kanye West is to siphone away young black votes from Biden? The GOP tries really everything, doesn’t they?

The big one has now English classes in school. My wife suddenly switched to Japanese to talk with me about the kids 😂

YouTube empfiehlt mir ein Video aus RT Deutsch. WTF?

Menschen, die über “Lifestyleaktivisten” wettern, dass das alles nichts bringt, stellen sich auf eine ähnliche Stufe wie Menschen, die gegen “Gutmenschen” wettern. Und das nur, weil sie eigentlich keinen Bock haben, etwas am eigenen Lebensstil zu ändern. #showerthought

I understand how it works with non-physical goods like PDFs. Just because I add another chapter from another author or more art, means only that I have a one-time cost which I can afford because more people buy the product but production cost per unit scales perfectly

I always wonder how the financial maths of physical stretch goals in an rpg-Kickstarter work. I still have the base cost of producing the physical goods which increases with the stretch goals. Does it decrease in the same manner just because of scale?

I am too stupid to follow tutorials about solving a Rubik’s cube :(

Ich habe gestern diesen Aufnäher bekommen (mit Klett). Ich muss scharf nachdenken, wo ich den draufmache.

Since I recently bought Alien: The RPG because it won an Ennie, I am now re-watching the first movie. That movie is a masterpiece. And I have the feeling that this game will be really hard to run. #ttrpg

Vielleicht hat hier ja jemand eine Ahnung: wie sehr unterscheiden sich die Deutsche, Österreichische und die Schweizer-Deutsche Gebärdensprache? Ich wusste, dass es keine vereinigte gibt, aber das selbst drei deutschsprachige Länder unterschiedliche haben, überrascht mich.

Apple hat es nötig. Die geben die 3% MwSt.-Senkung nicht weiter.

The more I think about #DND the less I like it. So many more good systems out there and I am stuck with it. Or I have to see how I can play more, so that I can have another group without DND

I hate my meds

In #shadowrun for example this was always quite interesting. In most editions iirc physical combat spells originated at your point of location and flew to the target. Thus a window blocked the spell. In other editions the spell materialized at the target - windows were no problem

Realism in #ttrpg: yes, there might be magic and there might be everything available you can imagine. But I think it needs to be realistic in terms of the world. Thus I am a great fan of a fleshed out magic theory, so that I know if something is feasible or not or at what cost.

A Trump-interview might get high ratings but the main reason is probably that it is like a car crash where you can’t look away.

“The world is a very angry place”. This is a sentence said by the President of the United States. In an interview. And it was not when speaking with a pre-school-kid.

I am watching the Trump-interview from HBO that got released on YT a couple of hours ago. My condolences to all the journalists and political analysts who have to watch all of his interviews and briefings as part of their job.

Dieser ganze Event regt mich einfach nur auf. Und dass die Polizei die so laufen lässt, geht mal gar nicht klar auch wenn es unter freiem Himmel ist. Ich wünsche niemandem schlechtes, aber ich muss mich hier wirklich zusammenreißen denen nichts schlechtes zu wünschen.

‪Das sind keine Covidioten. Das sind ganz einfach anti-soziale egoistische Arschlöcher die sich selbst am nächsten sind. Mal abgesehen davon ist “Tag der Freiheit” ein Riefenstahl-Film. Damit sollte jedem dort klar sein, dass er unter Nazi-Flagge läuft.‬

Either I wasn’t that self-critical in the past or my qualities as a game Master stink these days. I am not really satisfied with the way I run games. The players said that it was fun but I could have done far better. My NPC-work really really sucks these days :/ #ttrpg

Oh, and the t-shirt of the day which leads to people around to want to eat sushi

No beard anymore and a new haircut

Me with a fantasy-rpg: What to do? Why should a group of people stumble from one adventure to another? Me with a Cyberpunk-game: I have a city, I have corps, I have criminal organizations, I have suffering and misery: soooo much to do for the players, let’s start the missions

The Old Guard is pretty boring

My old #TTRPG-bubble: there are tons of rpgs out there. So many, that we cannot decide what to play first (and I played dnd like only a couple of times in more than 2 decades). Now I thought I follow more RPG-people on Twitter and some subreddits. And it seems there’s only DnD…

I got four players for my #Cyberpunk Red-one shot. 2 of them I don’t know at all. Now I really need to prepare that :) #ttrpg

I do something wrong or is that some kind of privilege I need to know since I am a white male? But when I tell someone I don’t drink alc or ask if something is vegan people just accepted it so far. The maximum was curiosity (and then more acceptance) and even that’s rare.

I didn’t expect that it is so hard to find 4 players for an online-game of Cyberpunk Red in German…

What did I do wrong that Netflix sends me a mail informing me about the release of “The Kissing Booth 2”‽

TIL: editor wars are still a thing.

Ich suche noch 2 feste Zusagen bis Sonntag für einen One-Shot #CyberpunkRed am Mittwoch den 29.7. ab 18:00 via Video (Discord o.ä.)

Seagan (vegan + fish)-life for a couple of months, I lost 4 kg without doing anything. Now I gained it all back and a little extra since I figured out what is all possible to eat…

Oh…Altered Carbon is an RPG where you do a lot of subtractions instead of additions. Even though it is low numbers my experience tells me that people are inherently bad with subtractions.

Oh, my digital copy of the Altered Carbon-TTRPG arrived :)

The boys are enjoying the new She-Ra on Netflix. One calls her “the nice lady”, the other one “the weird lady” because they cannot remember her name.

Endgame wasn’t that great either…I am really happy that I never went to the movies for it or bought a blu-ray or something but just got it in my streaming subscription.

I just watched Infinity War. That wasn’t really that good. I hope End Game is better…

There are people stopping to use spamassassin because they move away from the term white/blacklist. This makes it apparently politically motivated software (which is apparently bad?) I have not enough hands for this facepalm.

Sometimes when I go through the supermarket I try to imagine how big the fields in total must be and how much of livestock must be out there to produce that much food to stock all the shelves everywhere. It’s always overwhelming.

There is a Flash Gordon-rpg. And currently it is sold in a bundle of holding. Tempting, very tempting.

My kids are taking trapeze-classes. Soon they are able to do far more pull-ups than I can do. It’s crazy how much core strength they need and how much they need these muscles you strengthen with pull-ups.

That reminds me: any good reason to switch from Alfred to Launchbar these days?

I am very happy with OmniFocus 3. Why am I looking up Things?

There is a Reddit-thread about what non-Germans think about Germany

https://reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/hoocpo/dear_non_germans_what_do_you_think_of_germany/

It seems Germany has a really positive image out there Oo

TIL: there are loads of people on the spamassassin-ml who have political views I do not share…

To be honest: I still don’t get why D&D is so succesful. But maybe I am just not enough of a fantasy-fan.

When I think about it the games I put the most hours in are Killer Instinct (SNES), DOA 2 (PS2) and Soulcalibur 2 (PS2, Arcade) Probably Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart and NBA Jam (all SNES) are following close behind…

My new t-shirt. I really like it.

After I read the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit I wonder how much time I would need per week to get an online-campaign running which runs every other week. I don’t like the time I need for the monthly DnD-campaign. But I imagine that I actually need less time to prepare a CP-session

Amazon Prime hat wohl alle 4 Staffeln von Airwolf in der Flatrate :D

I am watching Hamilton and I really hope Disney (or Netflix) bring more musicals to their streaming platform. I really want to watch Avenue Q for example.

Reddit shows video where a-hole gets knocked down with an elbow hit, dude does an additional kick to the guy on the ground. I ask: why? Reddit: you do if he deserves it; if he’s an a-hole to my family he can die

What the serious fuck? You do not kick ppl already on the ground.

Ok, another broken system in the US. When you do a social media post your employer doesn’t like and fires you because of it, you might not be eligible for unemployment benefits. WTF?

I need to read up on unemployment benefits in the US. Apparently the people who fire someone can somehow deny them unemployment benefits. Shouldn’t the state be completely responsible for this? But this might be my European point of view…

This evening I practiced 45 minutes of juggling and close to an hour of coin magic. This was a good evening.

TIL about Air Up. What a load of marketing crap on their site. Unbelievable. But I am tempted to try it but 30€ for a starter? I like the benefit edition. 5€ more than the normal starter but 2€ are donated. 🤦

If you want to watch a light Japanese series that is really nice and has a great intro song, watch Midnight Diner (深夜食堂) on Netflix.

My wife bought juggling balls so that the kids can learn juggle because it helps with some stuff and she wanted to juggle with balls herself. Now I am close to be able to juggle three balls and everyone else doesn’t juggle at all 🤦

When machines will rule over the world the only non-free people will be Caucasians because of biased machine learning models. As my wife said this could be a pretty cool book.

Do I need new t-shirts from Qwertee or is it just consumerism?

Na ja, bei 1,5m Abstand würde ich für den Regelbetrieb einer Schule ja sogar schätzen, dass eine Verdopplung der Räume nicht ausreicht, sondern eher eine Verdreifachung gebraucht wird (plus die entsprechenden Lehrer).

Kein Mindestabstand in den Schulen nach dem Sommerferien. Warum wundert das jemanden? Es wurde doch mehrfach gesagt, dass es dann Regelbetrieb geben soll. Das geht mit der Anstandsregel nicht. Wie denn auch bei der Größe und Anzahl der Räume einer Schule?

TIL: There are fingernail printers. They can even print photos onto a fingernail. A bit pricey (like 800€) but this is pretty damn cool.

I am re-watching Malcolm in the Middle and there are everywhere the good old iMac G3s. I really like their look. I am big fan of that era of Macs. The colorful iMacs and iBooks were looking fun. And the the Powerbook was really another thing in comparison.

I have Apple Music and Family Sharing. I synchronized my personal music with Apple Music on a Mac and can see the songs on my devices. Why doesn’t it turn up for example on the devices the kids have? There is quite some stuff in there especially for them.

Juggling is even harder than expected.

It seems there is a third time in like two years where I will have data loss even though I use zfs. Two times a mirror was involved. Yeah me. It isn’t indestructible and will fail like everything else.

And it would have been cool if she would have done the bar exam and would be a PI with the perks of being a lawyer. That could have been already used in the books. Cliff wouldn’t be that useful anymore but they could have found a way I guess to include him.

So, I watched now the Veronica Mars-movie and read the books. Next up: getting season 4. They could have made a better reason why Veronica gets back into the PI-game by stating that she can help people instead of making lawsuits against rich people go away.

The new stealth bomber apparently runs with Kubernetes. Aren’t stealth bombers equipped with nuclear warheads?

I conquered firewalld to build a keepalived-based LB-pair working on CentOS8. That cost so much time I could have tried to build a pair with OpenBSD and relayd. That reminds me: does anyone have benchmarks comparing load balancers that include Linux/keepalived and OBSD/relayd?

Btw my favorite Ghost in the Shell-media are the first manga which I have luckily in a bilingual uncensored version and the first season of SAC.

I am not even 10 minutes in the SAC-series by Netflix and I already don’t like it. The style sucks and the behavior of the characters just feels wrong. I don’t know if I should continue this even though I really like pretty much everything Ghost in the Shell.

Die Mega Man (X) Legacy Collections und Mega Man 11 sind gerade im Sale (halber Preis) im Nintendo E-Shop für die Switch, falls noch jemand wie ich drauf gewartet hat, dass sie endlich im Sale landen.

Veronica Mars mentions packing pepper spray at the end of Season 2 because she might run into this Trump character when she travels to New York.

It seems that just using the ssh-agent-plugin solves my problem. I thought I tried that in the past.

Coin magic is hard!

I use a remote server with mosh - which means unfortunately no agent-forwarding. On this server I am using tmux and zsh. In the tmux-Session I connect to other servers - what do I have to do that I have to put in my ssh key-password only once?

I thought that systemd-homed is not so useful. Now I thought about it a bit and I see more and more use cases for it and it could be quite useful especially since many people I know use Linux.

I ordered yesterday in China reproduction sets of Morgan dollars and Walking Liberty-half dollars for coin magic. I really really hope they look good. The real deal is just too expensive (especially with the specials for magic).

I want a tabletop-RPG for Avatar/Legend of Korra. My kid is watching the show and the world is awesome. I wonder if it would work with Apocalypse Engine or Forged in the Dark.

RyanAir: Beschwerde per Kontakformular, Mail und Brief nach Irland möglich. Der E-Mailserver von RyanAir nimmt nur aktuell keine Mails an. Ich hab meine gerade zurückbekommen und auf “meiner” Mailplatform habe ich Mails in den Queues gesehen, die die Server nicht loswerden.

Zwei Sachen, die ich vom Drosten-Podcast mitnehme: eine medizinische Studie ordentlich durchzuführen ist sehr schwer und die Schwächen in einer veröffentlichten Studie zu finden erfordert viel Erfahrung.

Never again RyanAir. They cancelled our flight, I requested a refund and a month later (today) I get a message that I get a voucher that expires after 12 months. I can request the money but I will get into a cash request queue which will get their money back after Covid-19.

So, it is not bye bye mastodon. I will just move back from chaos.social to mastodon.social.

So, the mastodon-server I am using wants me to use content warnings if I post something about covid-19. The cross post-bot from micro.blog doesn’t let me do it. So I will have to leave the server or at least won’t use it anymore for posting. Well. Bye Mastodon.

@help when crossposting to mastodon, is it possible to set a content warning? if not, please implement this. If I post via the crosspost-bot (through wordpress) could a tag or something help?

The mortality rate of COVID-19 makes me worry. But the permanent lung damage even light cases can have make me worry even more.

Well, I hope Rise of Skywalker is better than the last two. At least this trilogy is better than the prequels. But I really like The Mandalorian. It is so much better than the movies.

Rey, Super-Jedi. It still feels wrong. But maybe my knowledge of Star Wars is just sub-par.

Watching The Last Jedi the first time and ehm… is it me or is The Mandalorian better than Force Awakens and Last Jedi?

My son says he had no white bricks/parts to build a wind generator. I think it is a very morbid wind generator… Oh and Tzimisce would love it…

Regarding my last post to KISS: I never met someone who installed just a simple editor and started his work. Except maybe the one time when I read the John Carmack installed OpenBSD one summer and programmed using only using base. Usually they install and configure tons of tools

My problem with KISS: those distributions and window managers usually take far longer to be in a state that one is productive and lead to far more tinkering (being a distraction by this) than the black box that just works #linux

Mietbegrenzung in Berlin hat „tolle“ Folge: Vermieter schreiben hin: aktuell ist die Wohnung so billig, aber eigentlich wollen wir €€€ mehr. Und wenn das Gesetz doch gekippt wird durch Gerichte fordern wir das Geld komplett zurück. Das macht die Wohnungssuche viel komplizierter.

Das kann auch sicherlich Retweets und Boosts vertragen.

Super Idee! Wenn wir nicht ins Theater können, kommt das Theater per Stream zu uns.

RyanAir just confirmed my flight again. To Denmark in the beginning of April. Denmark closed its borders completely until April 13th. WTF? The responsible team is gone since Friday probably and no one works until Monday or so…

My kids just played their first-ever Dungeons & Dragons-game. 3 hours is quite a long time for a 5- and a 9-year old and it went really great. Thanks to Corona and the closed schools and kindergartens I will play it now regularly with them and lead them through a campaign.

Was zur Hölle ist denn eine Tanzlustbarkeit? Prostitutionsstätten müssen auch dicht gemacht werden und Prostitutionsveranstaltungen sind auch verboten in Berlin. Begriffe gibt’s… #berlin #corona

Onward was a lot of fun. And if you like D&D it is just one more reason to go.

Spaß! Ab morgen sind die Bibliotheken in Berlin bis zum 19.4. geschlossen #corona

I am unusually proud of myself when I create a magic thing by myself especially when I come up with it myself or see a performance and have an idea how I could create the effect myself and build it. #magic

Ich liebe ja das Känguru aber der Film war jetzt nicht so der Bringer. Da kann man warten bis er auf einer Streaming-Platform erscheint.

Harry Potter is a novelized Metroidvania. Each book he gets a new item or spell that unlocks new parts of Hogwarts or empowers him to defeat new foes or just upgrades him (like the Firebolt over the Nimbus).

I need to find a way to meditate again.

I just checked prices of Disneyland Paris. 3 nights, 4 days, even with their rebate and cheapest hotel it is 1800€ for my family. That is some holiday I can do with that amount of money. I was there once as a child and I really want to go there with my kids. But at that rate…

For the people who are hosting mails by themself: do you have someone else who hosts their mail by themself and you use their server as second mx and they use yours or how do you handle matters of a secondary mx?

6 hours of work during the night and I have to finish with a rollback. Aaaahhhhhhh

Do I go now to bed, get up in two hours, bring the kid to kindergarten and go to bed again, or do I wait until the kids are gone and then go to bed?

Becoming average in speaking Mandarine must be pretty hard. There are so many native speakers (and close to native speakers) that there are probably not enough learners to drag the average down by a lot.

The thing is that orgs always have new requirements and updates of soft- and hardware brings up new problems, thus system administrators are still needed in the end even though they automated everything and built highly reliable systems.

Maybe an unpopular opinion: but the two most important jobs of a system administrator is to make himself needless (for example through automation and increasing reliability of the systems he builds and maintains) and replaceable (by creating good documentation).

And today I saw on a mailing list again: people shit-talking other operating systems than the one they like usually have only barely a clue about the other operating systems they are talking about.

What is the best website currently to find Creative Common-licensed music?

Pacemaker problems…I just can’t getting this MySQL-replication back up without taking down the primary -.-

I am always surprised how few people now „at“ on Unix-like systems. It is so useful for jobs that have to run once at a certain time and where you do not want to sit in front of the machine for them. It even accepts a file as input when you want to run multiple commands.

Today’s fallout in Barovia: 2 player characters are now evil. #dnd

Using the docker-version of OnlyOffice also failed. I just couldn’t get it to work properly. Collabora was far easier.

I tried installing Onlyoffice on my Nextcloud-server today. I failed. The Ubuntu-package they provide depends on Nginx, I run Apache. Then I tried to remove it and had nginx removed before. Thus Deinstallation fails because it wants to reload nginx.

Gibt es eigentlich PC-Hardware mit der ich mir sowas wie ein 4-Bay QNAP oder Synology bauen kann, aber günstiger für gleiche Spec, um dann FreeNAS drauf zu fahren?

Next in the USA: the FDA forbids drinking water and replaces the drinking water supply with Coca-Cola.

Unexpected development: after figuring out that linking rings are fun, I play around recently a lot with sponge ball magic. Maybe I start to like rope or silk magic at one point after all.

What happens to the food in cooking competitions shows. I find Zumbos Just Desserts very entertaining but the food waste is massive. I hope the staff or whoever gets all the cake that isn’t eaten by the judges. How does it work with those shows? Everything gets thrown away?

I give up in creating a fake-Facebook-account. This is just too much work and time consuming.

I am trying to create a Facebook-account not associated with another online identity. Right now I am trying to find a disposable usable phone number. The whole process is far harder than expected.

My evening: I played around with a couple of sponge balls and a purse frame…

The Lenovo-laptop Robin uses in Titans S02E04 st 22:40 looks to new for the year the scene is playing in…

How do I teach magicians that they know how to manipulate and use perception and expectations but Facebook knows how to do this as well but does it at a far larger scale and not for astonishment or entertainment?

To someone with more knowledge in cryptography and dovecot: what is the purpose of the DH-parameters? Why don’t I need to generate DH-parameters for apache or nginx for example?

Rereading the Lord of the Rings after 20 years and I wonder how I remember the The Two Towers is mainly descriptions of the environment of Middle-Earth. There is so much happening, so many conversations, so many songs.

It seems that I fixed a plugin for tt-rss by just changing three characters.

The best compliment I got tonite probably was: “When I was little my grandpa did tricks for our kids. But you could easily see through them. Your stuff was way beyond that.” And the colleague who wants to get up early on Monday to draw a pentagram around my desk before I arrive…

Delivered a 45 minute magic show at the new year party from work and everyone was astonished at the end. It went great :D

Colleagues asked me to do a little magic at an office party tomorrow. I am very anxious. When I perform in a bar I do not really have problems with anxiety. I think I have mainly problems with performing in front of people I know. Meh.

Is there any other eInk-reader that can also sync its read-state to a decent iPhone/Android-app like the Kindle even with ebooks that are not bought from the store it uses (I doubt that there are yet open source solutions :/ )

Plans for my retirement: creating a TTRPG-campaign in the epic sense where the players are like Luke, Leia, Han Solo et al in Star Wars or the members of the fellowship in the Lord of the Rings. Right in the middle of the real big events and a major part in the fight against evil

coc.nvim - one of the worst or funniest names for a plug-in ever. I always have to shake my head and snicker when I see Reddit-posts like “What are your COC-settings?” #neovim

I travelled back 20 years today and did a stupid Sysadmin-thing: I tried to upgrade CentOS7 to CentOS8 without doing a snapshot of the VM beforehand. What the hell did I think? Well, now it is an Ubuntu 18.04 which I already started to set up a month ago as a replacement.

I didn’t expect that something like this exists: a numeric keypad with RGB-backlit mechanical keys and a display, so that you can use it as a simple calculator. A bit expensive though imho. Still, I kind of want one now.

It has been 20 years since I have read Lord of the Rings. And I am really enjoying it again. I am not a big fan of Fantasy per se but Tolkien’s way of storytelling is great.

When I was in my teens/twens people and politicians lamented that the youth is not political active anymore and that it is terrible. Now the youth is political again and the people and politicians are having problems with it that those young people are engaging in politics…

I bet if there was such a list all politicians on the list would be like “stop bullying me and take me down from this list”.

Is there already a list by country of politicians speaking out against Greta Thunberg? It seems to be a pretty good criterion to see who should be voted out of office because they have no problem with climate change and need to bully a teen because of it.

“Schadenfreude? What’s that? Is that some kind of Nazi word?”

Spaß mit Altbau am Samstag. Ein Stromkreis komplett weg, keine Sicherung geflogen, Rußfleck im Zwischenboden bei einer Zusammenkunft von Kabeln. Laut Hauswart hat die Hausverwaltung es einen Elektriker weitergegeben. Wenigstens haben Küche und Bad noch Strom, aber das war es.

Asking for a friend: how many e-mails am I allowed to send to a support-Mail address which rarely reacts? I am thinking about running a cronjob that sends a mail per hour or so…maybe I’ll get at some point an answer…

It is probably just me but the way madness works and the tables for it in DND 5e really suck.

Today I got confused by incoming traffic that showed up on tcpdump and was dropped afterwards by iptables. Thus I saw the incoming traffic but not the replies from the application. Kind of feels like a shameful noob-mistake.

I just found out that there are pretty good magic tutorials in Japanese available on YouTube and not of all of them are subtitled. Suddenly a skill gets an unexpected use. But for magic I really should start to learn Spanish…

Mechanical keyboards are expensive. Mechanical ergonomic keyboards are even more expensive >_<

Hong Kong-demonstrations look more and more like the stuff I read as a teen. Laserpointer-sniper rifle, gas mask, silver blanket to reduce the wearer IR-signature. Next level-activists.

After seeing the prices of the new Macbook Pros (with AppleCare+) I decided that I will continue using Thinkpads and Linux. But from what I’ve read they finally fixed the keyboard and made using Macbooks a viable option again.

Grippeimpfung erledigt.

r/NatureisMetal taught me how often animals get eaten alive in the wild. And I always thought predators go for the kill. Nope, they just disable the prey and feast on it. I always wonder if and how much the preys brain does something to reduce the pain.

The second “show” (I was part of it, so like ten minutes) was even better. Yeah! #magic

The first session went pretty well with the magic. The people liked it, I didn’t tremble and everything worked :D

I am going to do some magic tonight. Wish me luck that everything works out as expected. I am always anxious when I try to mdo magic for strangers. But I hope that it gets better when I perform more often.

Googles language recognition is really good: “Se Klön Wörs” becomes “The Clone Wars” as intended by the speaker who didn’t master yet English pronunciation.

And don’t forget: the sixth world already started. I am still waiting for dragons and the Great Ghost Dance didn’t happen two years ago. I am disappointed.

Today it is Blade Runner, in two months it is Cyberpunk 2020.

And I tried notion.so which is kind of a better Evernote. But they don’t have a decent Linux-client and it always felt weird to use. The web-page-capture is great though. But I am back to text-files (org). It is just way faster for me to work with them.

Couple of weeks ago I switched back from beorg/emacs/org-mode to todoist. Yesterday I moved back. It works better overall for me after all. I tried also Thunderbird, got back to mutt, trying now mu4e again. I am playing too much with tools…

Während andere Banken HBCI kaputt machen, führt meine Bank für bestimmte Überweisung (an mich selbst, unter 30€ oder IBAN auf einer Whitelist) TAN-freie Überweisungen ein und macht ein Auto-Opt-In. Oo

I don’t believe in the indestructability of ZFS anymore but it is still better than the rest. Yep, I had pools that died, pools that lost all their performance, pools that didn’t really recover after a crash. Luckily I like backups and not only restores.

And I got me a digital Genii-subscription. Using it offline on the phone sucks (app doesn’t work for me, the ePub doesn’t feel very good) but otherwise it is a huge value for the money. Similar to Reel Magic Magazine. #magic

I just read the first review of Shadowrun 6 that reads like it might be a fun system after all https://www.enworld.org/threads/shadowrun-sixth-world-core-rulebook-review.667068/

Since SR 6th seems to be rather bad, I wonder how hard it would be to create ones own Shadowrun and what would be allowed? “Just” creating rules, gear, critters etc and leaving out the lore because fans have it already. What would be allowed and what would be legally problematic?

I just started to look into a magic book and the first essential sleight I see will take me weeks, probably months to learn…

Current reputation of Shadowrun 6th ed that got just released: I’d rather get Hack the Planet from Samjoko or Cyberpunk Red that this apparent piece of crap. And Shadowrun is my absolute favorite game for decades now.

Currently we are reading Harry Potter to the kids. Since we take turns in reading to them, I want to read the books completely again because I miss some parts. Those books are so good.

Awesome. Eclipse Phase 2nd Edition is again licensed under Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).

I am skimming the just released Eclipse Phase 2nd Edition and it seems a lot better rule-wise than the first edition. Character generation seems simpler and forking/merging, imho the USP of the game seems to be handled far better. Nice! Now I need to find the time and a group :(

😂 I can’t read a medium-blog-post because I used up my free membership-preview-articles this month. They seriously want to force me to create an account with Medium. I’d rather write the authors that I can’t read their articles because Medium sucks.

In the meantime the community of the aforementioned subreddit rehabilitated itself and useful answers are coming in :)

Asked a question on Reddit. So far 2 sensible answers, one shit post insulting me and one condescending reply why I don’t get my stuff in order instead of picking on thing I asked about. Either it is me or pretty much any community I touch on the internet just sucks.

But all in all I get more used to emacs and using ansi-term works reasonably well. Except I have to switch between several servers or have to look through lots of logs and configuration-files, then tramp-mode just isn’t sufficient in terms of speed. Or my workflow sucks.

Oh, one more thing I miss is directory/file-tab-completion in tramp-mode. And it gets even more annoying when you switch to dired(?) and have then loads of buffers for directories where you were in.

The one thing I really miss in emacs are tabs for frames. I want several tabs with different window layouts. Having multiple frames for this is annoying.

Wait, what? Why does Oracle Linux 8 have MariaDB and not MySQL? Don’t they use their own products in their own products?

In swaywm a Java-application I need for work doesn’t work :/ Now I tried KDE again which is working well and looks nice ( I love the blur) but not with wayland where it sucks with multiple displays :/

It is 2019. On German twitter the topic “pork” is trending because two kindergartens are removing it from their “menu”. One major party calls this “leftist political correctness”. This world is so sooo broken -.- Btw our kindergarten is vegetarian out of practical reasons…

Interesting thing I got asked from a non-nerd: Is it possible to remove the protection from an ebook that I want to buy? I don’t want that company™ removes the book from my device or that I cannot open it anymore for some reasons one day.

I just checked the BMI for my size and 60kg with 1.80m is just over underweight? I would be only skin and bones if I would weigh 60kg…I cannot believe that this not already underweight. I would have thought the lower border would be like 65-70kg.

I wonder why Netflix used apparently a new translation for NGE. Maybe they couldn’t score the license for the original subs for some reason. And then the job was like: “Do it, 26 episodes, 1 week time max.” So no chance to dive into the subtleties but just rush it.

Netflix apparently didn’t ruin NGE for me. I don’t care about “Fly me to the moon” and always found it kind of annoying and I watch it with Japanese subtitles for the learning effect. So, lucky me :)

No, I won’t enter a thread about language subtleties in Japanese. I value my sleep and blood pressure more.

OMG! Netflix Germany has Neon Genesis Evangelion!

And I got several balls for cups and balls for really cheap because the magic shop wanted to remove them from the inventory. Now I can have a look at Vernon’s Impromptu Cups and Balls :)

I organized my magic tutorial videos today. It seems I do not need to buy any for the next decade or so. At least so long it will take until I learned all the stuff taught there (and a bit less when I take out the stuff that turned out not really interesting…)

Yesterday I got a scam-call from the Windows Technical Center regarding my computer. And today I got two more calls. But no time to let them “help” me with my computer.

I saw today Seoul Line 1 at the Grips-theatre. It was awesome. And it seemed to be the special special thingy because Grips became 50 years old this year. The author of the original was there, the author/producer of the Korean variant was there. Exchange of presents etc.

I am reading a book where a radical government uses old laws against hate speech to bring enemies down that wrote things years ago against the people in the new government. Suddenly hate speech-laws seem far more problematic than “censorship” or “upload filters”.

To whom it may be interesting: the EU-cards are Anyone Worldwide Souvenir (there are EU- and US-backs). Thus they have some brand-and collectors value. Getting a deck isn’t that easy apparently and below 40€ is probably impossible.

The fourth story in Doctorows “Radicalized” was about preppers and the collapse of civilization. That one was really good. The first story is still the best. But still: get the book, like everything I read from Doctorow it shows an interesting peek into a possible future.

The third story of Doctorows „Radicalized“ was about the US health care-system and how people could become domestic terroriste because of it. I liked the story a lot. The first story is still the best because it is the most universal one so far. The other two are very US-centric.

Almond milk in muesli is kind of eating muesli with water…mmm…not that much of a happy place.

I am searching a vegan alternative for milk (coffee and muesli). The first try worked in coffee for one or two coffees but I am already kind of sick of it :/ A mixture of an oat and soy drink called “Barista”. Next up: unsweetened almond milk.

The second story in Doctorows book “Radicalized” about racism and how society deals with police brutality was good but too much for a US-audience for me. Let’s see how the third story is which gave the book apparently its name.

The first story in Doctorows “Radicalized” about DRM and its problems was already really good.

There is no decent translation for sleight of hand in German. I see no good way to translate “sleight of hand artist” because of this.

If you are into magic follow Asia’s Got Talent this season. Takumi Takahashi AND Eric Chien are both competing.

It is weird to read a non-fiction book and know most of the persons from social media and how they talk, this having always the correct voices in my head. Btw. read “Magic is Dead” by Ian Frisch It gives a good look into the lifes of the “new” generation of magicians.

A brick of cards :)

I like it how it seems that each “kind” of magician says that their specialization is harder to learn than the other ones. 🤦‍♂️

Today I ordered the first time a brick of cards. It’s just cheaper.

Where do I get nowqdays high quality Unix-stickers in low quantities since unixstickers.com closed shop?

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.

Apple implements Screen Time and immediately does it right. This is far better than what Google does with Family Link.

Fighting with a RaidZ2 to get it to be performant. Added now a SLOG-device but it doesn’t really seem to help. Let’s watch that. But I see me already moving data to pools that are just a mirror and dissolve this RaidZ2. And I have to read up on the ARC… #zfs

Ok…Linus apologizes and Linux gets a sensible Code of Conduct…what happened? This is a great development imho. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=8a104f8b5867c682d994ffa7a74093c54469c11f

Wow! Linus apologized and wants to change: “My flippant attacks in emails have been both unprofessional and uncalled for. Especially at times when I made it personal. (…) I know now this was not OK and I am truly sorry.” https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/9/16/167

Out of curiosity I installed the Fedora XFCE-spin on my netbook. And it is sooo much more performant than OpenBSD (both with FDE). I didn’t expect that much of a performance boost. 🤔

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.

My first soccer game I am watching in the stadium

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 :)

RedHat is a corporation so they probably might be able to filter the tone of the important people.

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.

The edge of Microsoft and Apple is probably that you do not see core developers talking in an unfiltered way in a public space.

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 :/

It just took ages for me to set up an Android-device for my child because I didn’t understand parental controls. At least it seems Google has now with Family Link its own app for that.

And so I ordered the Curse of Strahd. Even if I am not a big fan of #DnD once in my life I want to lead my players into Castle Ravenloft.

I am happy that there is no pre-crime yet. In recent times I bought a lockpick-set (a present), loaded dice (another present) and watch a lot of sleight of hand-videos (because I am interested in cardistry and sleight of hand-stuff is fun).

Does Amazon delete apps from the Fire when they disappear from the store?

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.

A dream comes true: bugged hotel rooms. Seriously? Well, I don’t have the money to visit a Marriott anyways, so I cannot really boycott them ;) #alexa

I warched “The Pirge: Election Year” today. What a bad movie. And there is a fourth movie coming? Next time my wive is choosing the evening movie. The last two I chose were pretty crappy.

Cardistry is damn hard. I can’t remember when I started something the last time and did progress so slowly.

Today I declared Podcast-bankruptcy and marked ca 650 episodes as played.

Netflix created one of the worst yakuza-movies ever and it is so eff-ing historically incorrect. Except the cars but not the amount of cars. #theoutsider

So I bought an epub from a series I buy regularly directly from the publisher. In contrast to the Amazon-mobis they are only watermarked, thus they are “freer”. One more thing I won’t need to buy at Amazon :)

Da kauft man mal ein eBook nicht über Amazon und schon macht der gewünschte Shop Probleme. Mal sehen wie fix der Support ist :/

I hate this “but my OS is better than your OS” It might be news to you but they have all their merits and flaws. None is perfect, one might just fit your taste and priorities better. And maybe the other OS is just different enough that you don’t like it because it’s different.

Someone wants a password manager implemented as a shell-script implemented in C because it is more secure. Oo

I am now the proud owner of a Soroban. I am really curious to exercise with it.

TIL: prefix w brings up a pane-overview with previews #tmux

I figured out how to get colorized output (ssh -t), so let’s start the script-engines to make my live easier and faster

I just realized what “ssh $host $command” means for me and how it can improve the way I work a lot Now I need to figure out if there is a way to even get colorization working and then “Let’s start the script-engines!”

When you are on the internal black list of outlook/hotmail/live.com the servers will still accept your mail but then either won’t deliver it (srsly?) or put it into the spam-folder of the recipient. Some messaging via SMTP-status codes would be nice… #email

I still do not get how someone came up with debian-sys-maint-user for #mysql Ok, the security ramnifications are probably minimal but having a user with more or less db-root-privileges and its clear text password (readable only by root) on disk has a bitter taste #debian

If I started semi-regular sessions for Shadowrun 5e. Would there be people interested in that (usual play time in the evening time of UTC +1/+2)? Is there a better platform than roll20 for something like that? Language would be German or English.

Big mistake: I read some articles about Trump. Now I wonder once again why so many Americans thought he would be a good president. How do many US-politicians kind of try to be on good terms with him. And why there is no impeachement because he is damaging the country for years.

After quite a while I did this short 20 minute workout. I am still out of breath after showering. I think I chose those weights on the dumbbells a bit too heavy.

TIL: Doom has a real background story

FYI: I just paid for a copy of Doom 1 (the GBA-version though)

We are searching for an abacus for the big one for school. And I found soroban (the Japanese abacus). After watching a couple of YT-videos I want now one just for learning how to do calculations with it.

Is there any electronics-company out there that doesn’t let their workers in China and other factory countries work like slaves? There should be something like a “Fair Trade”-label but for electronics.

Surprise: Amazon is even handling their factory workers really bad. One shouldn’t buy from Amazon but it is just so convenient and often so cheap…

Kirby‘s Epic Yarn is such a lovely made game

Because a user requested it I installed nano for him.

And then I sent him “Ed Mastery” and “Learning the vi and vim editor”…

I wonder how much a single sysadmin can break by not being careful in a large company like google or facebook. Or if there are so many failsaves that nobody will really notice when a command breaks a couple of machines.

The next macOS-update won’t be available for computers that were released before mid-2012. This means that iMacs and MacBooks which cost a four-digit-euro amount of money get obsoleted after 6 years. For phones that might be ok, but for eff-ing expensive computers?

I am like more than 10 years late to the game but I have now a Wii (even with GC-controller-ports) :D

But I know now usually when a new Fedora, FreeBSD or OpenBSD is released and can’t wait to update all the things ;)

I remember a time when I knew that I kept my evening free for watching a keynote. Today I checked twitter out of boredom, read a few tweets about apparently some new iOS-stuff and then realized that there is probably a keynote…

I hate the escort-mission in the third dungeon of Ocarina of Time. I wanted to prepare this game well for the next podcast by playing through it. But this annoys the hell out of me. Wrong step and return and do it all over again. Wailey, wailey, wailey…

Yep, I think github is kind of a social network and people won’t quit it if MS buys it by looking how much people are annoyed with other social networks and don’t quit them.

Adding wxallowed to /home for having working python virtual environments feels wrong #openbsd

Some new stickers

Getting into i3 again. It is still pretty good. Let’s see I set it up best at work with three displays…

I just saw the first time “Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb”. It is a bit weird but definitely recommended.

The full “toolset” is btw: mutt, vim, msmtp, mbsync, mu, w3m, pass, gpg and some cronjobs/systemd-timers (and then there is the stuff for viewing attachments)

Read yet another intro to mutt. When I think about writing texts like that, I always only think: but there are already tons out there for that why should I write yet another one?

I have this sticker for I think 10 years now and I am still not sure if I should put it on my laptop.

Das war das T-Shirt zur letzten Retrozirkel-Folge ;)

And of course the top-yakuza has loads of tattoos and doesn’t wear a shirt. Why should he? m)

Is it just me or is a female yakuza-member (yes, I know but it is an American movie playing in Brazil) using “wa” at sentence endings weird? Isn’t that like 70s kawaii-speak? It’s been some time since I listened to real Japanese :/

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 am trying to find some laptop that has a max size of 11.6” and will run OpenBSD and it should be below 60€. It seems that I cannot March my expectations yet to what I find online. I also can’t understand why there is only the Pi-top as a laptop casing for the RPi.

I upgraded two servers from FreeBSD 10.3 with php5.6 to FreeBSD 11.1 with php7.1. Now the application running on the servers is nearly double as fast but needs half the RAM and produces half the load. Astounding.

Interesting: I am dieting for only two weeks now and my heart rate at rest is going down according to my fitness tracker.

Each and every time I hear Trump speaking, I wonder if it is possible for this man to speak one complete and coherent sentence.

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 am the master of cross-posting and pretty desperate slowly but surely #nfs #freebsd

Zur Zeit macht das einfach alles keinen Spaß…

In Germany I would consider the political spectrums from left to right. In the US it seems to be from liberal to conservatism. Why is there this difference or do I make a translation-error and they are actually the same?

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.

Und T-Mobile Austria auf Twitter so: wir speichern eure Passwörter im Klartext und unsere Sicherheit ist so krass, dass ihr euch keine Sorgen machen braucht 🤦‍♂️ https://twitter.com/tmobileat/status/981418339653300224 https://twitter.com/tmobileat/status/982187919061303296

So, I created now two additional mastodon-accounts for their local timelines on other instances. On my main-account my TL is interesting, but the federated timeline is just too full of uninteresting stuff

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 -.-

TIL: Rockman (Megaman) might have been named Rainbow Man because each weapon changed him to another color.

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.

The names of grep (g/re/p) and sed (s/ed) do not really come from ed, do they? Oo

I can recommend Michael W Lucas new book Ed Mastery. Once I had only /bin available and vi was in /use/bin. I wish I had read that book before. Ed is more useful than I thought.

Woohoo, mail works again :) (Even though my domain is not fixed yet… :/ )

Next years April Fools-joke: moving editors around and linking things like vi, vim, nano, emacs et al to ed on selected servers

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 :(

My domain isn’t resolving and it seems to happen at the registrars level…very big meh…

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?

You know, only two years left

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.

Just this once I’ve a good idea for an April fools joke for the office (making the unicorn-theme in icinga2 the default and disabling all the other themes) and this year it is on a Sunday. Now I have to wait a goddamn year :( github.com/Mikesch-m…

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:

The Empire The Federation The Cartel The Reich The Colonists

I kid you not, it is a very dark and bleak future they rolled.

I kind of want a Rubber Ducky and a Bash Bunny to play around with it. But it is kind of expensive to have ‘em just as toys :/

Gibt es eine deutsche Übersetzung von Steven Levys Hackers?

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 am game mastering tomorrow a session of Uncharted Worlds (switching from Traveller) and I couldn’t remember the name of the game only “something something worlds”. This isn’t a good sign, is it?

I am trying to figure out how to check which commands root ran on FreeBSD. auditd doesn’t work as expected…

lol…the whole Indieweb-thing shouldn’t be GDPR-compliant. When someone on twitter replies to me, it gets added as a comment to my website which shouldn’t allowed without consent from the user…ok…

Heute dann die Prüfung für ein Zertifikat zum betrieblichen Datenschutzbeauftragten. Mal schauen wie das wird.

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 did it! The first time I did a proof by mathematical induction on my own without using any help. It was an easy proof but anyways I did it on my own 😃

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…

And so my old X201 moves over to a new owner replacing an even older MacBook. At the same moment there is a new Linux-user (Fedora) :)

I ask for a lightning-cable-recommendation and some troll comes up from under the bridge to lash out at me how much Apple sucks. WTF‽

My new problem which I encountered now on several OpenBSD-servers (6.1 and 6.2) and now on FreeBSD (11.1-p7) as well: the pf.conf is not loaded after booting the machine and I have to kick it once so that it works.

I am listening to Nightwish and immediately I feel an urge to want to play Vampire: The Masquerade. I didn’t know that those two things were this much connected for me.

I am burning a music-CD. This feels so 90s…

I arrived at mathematical induction and my brain just doesn’t want to comprehend it :/

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?

There is a flatpack for signal-desktop. Thus it can be also used on Fedora for example

flatpak --user install --from [flathub.org/repo/apps...](https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.signal.Signal.flatpakref)

You cannot migrate your data from the Chrome-App though.

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.

How did I miss that there was a new 2600 released? I really need some kind of subscription or at least a reminder or so…

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…

According to Reuters, Apple will soon move keys for Chinese users to data centers in China, so that authorities can always access them. They have to for complying with Chinese law. But this shows why we need a decentralized infrastructure independent from big corporations.

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.

And the next family member who will move from macOS to Linux when the current laptop breaks (actually it is already not upgradable anymore from macOS 10.6…) because Macs are just too expensive compared to used Thinkpads.

I’ve beaten now the clone in Wily Stage 2 in Rockman. This is a real hard game. No weapon refills between stages is evil.

Dear iOS-game devs: I always look at the IAP before I download a game and when I see that there are only consumables to buy, I do not even download your game when I can’t figure out if I need those to have a playable game.

A podcast where the (remote) guest has apparently music running in the background…making the already mediocre audio-quality even worse.

I wonder if there are any Linux- or *BSD-users on micro.blog. My timeline shows only Mac-users so far…

Current state of Rockman: thanks to lots of quick saving I advanced to the Wily Stages. I didn’t have to backtrack to the magnet beam because I tackled Guts Man first. I really hate the start of the stage.

Oh, a very old password from me which I still have on old unused accounts and when I need fast a short temporary one got compromised. In other news companies (even smaller ones where I thought they’d do better) still store passwords in clear text.

Nope, it doesn’t seem to speak IPv6…

Ok, I can’t bring spamd to listen on IPv4 and IPv6 :( #openbsd

Ah, it is not spamd I think but the way I set it up Where I had to decide between IPv4 and IPv6 :/

Could it be that spamd on OpenBSD still doesn’t speak IPv6?

The problem with the iOS-apps for todo.txt and task paper is that they all kind of suck. No SimpleTasks for iOS :(

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

It is about a Japanese citizen who had to move to NK as a child and lived there for 36 years (1960-96) until he fled.

Probably unpopular opinion: people who say that the homo economicus doesn’t work, do not understand the homo economicus

My FreeBSD-workstation is now doing the systemd and doesn’t reboot properly anymore. #meh

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

I got today an invitation to a funeral I already knew of and expected. But it hit harder than I thought it would.

I wonder what the problem with GNU coreutils so called bloat is. Does it make them slower (any benchmarks)? Does it introduce far more bugs? What is the problem with it?

Dazu muss ich sagen, dass ich die Känguru-Bücher für großartig halte und auch Qualityland sehr mag und gerne empfehle.

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

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.

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 :/

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

Using Blink Shell on iOS with mosh on the Berlin subway is a huuuuge improvement over using some ssh-client.

Great that I didn’t request a refund for the shell I bought. It was a pbcak-error (and maybe a UI-problem) and not a software-problem.

And on that matter I can recommend Blink for iOS as a mosh-client.

So, EMUI ist jetzt vollständig integriert ins Blog, sogar mit Podlove-Subscribe-Button :)

Yesterday’s surprise: you need UTF-8 as locale (and therefore a system built with locales) to be able to run tmux. screen works without.

retrogames.kobschaetzki.net wird archiviert und runtergefahren. Vielleicht belebe ich das nochmal irgendwann™ wieder.

Bei Emui denke ich noch immer drüber nach. Evtl bekomme ich es auch irgendwie ins normale Blog integriert. Ein WP weniger, ein Blog für alles

Ich werde Japanbezug abschalten. Ich sehe nicht mal im Ansatz, dass ich da eine Folge in der Mittelfristig produzieren werde. Ein WordPress weniger.

Subsonic is not perfect but pretty good.

I just saw Finding Dory and now I want an octopus-stealth game Metal Gear Solid-style

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

Btw. any ideas which password manager besides LastPass works on iOS, Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD (sync with Nextcloud)?

And in OpenBSD the WLAN-USB-stick works immediately… setting up now a secondary laptop with OpenBSD.

Here is a real neat and simple vim-plugin-manager: https://github.com/junegunn/vim-plug

gitly.io looks like an interesting way to give git-repos a web-interface. I’ll need to try that eventually.

F U NetworkManager

From what I’ve read OpenBSD seems to be similar to Trisquel Linux in terms of philosophy. I am not ready to go that far…

What? OpenBSD has better laptop-support than FreeBSD? Oo I didn’t expect that one.

This time I tried installing FreeBSD with 11-stable on the laptop. FDE worked but no 3D-acceleration, no suspend & a lot of work…

Nixon tried to introduce some kind of universal basic income? Oo

When a promising book talks about social experiments and you read about them before and the book tells only half the tale it’s really meh :/

Finished now Homeland by Cory Doctorow. It is the follow-up to Little Brother. I recommend reading it but it is not as “eye-opening” (?)

“Afterword by Aaron Swartz, Demand Progress”

This just fills me with sadness though.

‪”Afterword by Jacob Appelbaum, Wikileaks”‬ ‪Interesting what that meant only a couple of years ago and how it changed. ‬

‪Srsly? A website dedicated to “The Art of Manliness”? Oo‬

Recent stuff I read makes me really think about what is the lesser of two evils: DRM in browsers or crappy non-cross-platform-plugins…

Drone Doom Metal? Oo

If I understand Homeland correctly Cory Doctorow thinks that P&P-RPGs are nerdier than LARP. I beg to differ. ;)

TrueOS made unfortunately too many problems on my T460 (major: no FDE with EFI, no suspend) so it’s back to Fedora. :/

I saw the future yesterday in the form of zfs in action and now I want the future on my laptop. So, let’s start doing a backup.

‪I installed yesterday TrueOS on my X201. And if I would want to go full time it seems that it will be a tough time in the beginning.

TIL: Thanks to the commit messages and FreshPorts FreeBSD has actually good change logs which I really miss with Linux distributions

Ha ha, I just saw an motd[footnote]Message of the Day[/footnote] on one of my servers that explained how to quit vi :D

While my kids were playing Angry Birds on the iPad today an ad for a horror-movie came up. Thanks Rovio

‪I am tempted to try FreeBSD on my laptop. But is it worth when I have to install a VM anyways for Netflix and Steam/Wine is a luck-thing?‬

I just read about Bloomberg Terminals. Now I want to try one. :/

The use of 80x24-terminal size doesn’t really date back to punch cards and VT52-terminals?

Did anyone of you got a mail of a service that might have got data leaked by cloudflare?

WTF, the comprehensive M:TG-rules are 210 pages long‽

Docker seems like a sure bet to secure your own work place as an admin (or get fired quite fast) https://thehftguy.com/2017/02/23/docker-in-production-an-update/

Don’t travel to the US if you can. At the border you won’t have any privacy in terms of your digital devices. And bringing a burner and a cleared laptop probably means only trouble. 

Read what a Canadian had to go through when he wanted to visit his boyfriend:

US Customs block Canadian man after reading his Scruff profile

“They said, ‘Next time you come through, don’t have a cleared phone,’ and that was it.

Those little hells on earth existing even in developed countries (this one in the US)

A Hidden Hellscape

Along a half-mile gorge cut by a Conrail line that runs through Kensington and Fairhill, tens of thousands of used syringes and their tossed off orange caps cover the sloping ground like a plague of locusts

(…)

Correa’s own addiction began when her mother introduced her to heroin at 16, she said.

And I am still searching for a recording when DJ Tomekk did a set at Electric Kingdom ~2000 (I am not sure of the year) 

That was soooo awesome!

Saw an old Thunderdome-video today. The people looked totally aggressive. In the Hardstyle-videos everyone looked like they had tons of fun

I might finally find some use for ctrl+z and ~ctrl+z :) #cli #unix

And one day I will clean up my .vimrc…

Insert a random rant about macOS not being that user friendly anymore

iBoy on Netflix was rather enjoyable. And they make a joke about the ridiculous name in the movie ;)

Hacking-progress bars…

And the TrueOS-people really need someone to give them some nice default-wallpapers and maybe some more icons for the preferences.

In other news: I tried TrueOS today from an ova and I can’t figure out a simple way to change my keyboard layout.

‪Migrate, migrate, migr…oh f***, how were the backups done?‬

Since when can I do tricep extensions? I remember that they were nearly impossible for me Oo

I just figured out that I can let xscreensaver play random videos via mplayer. Now my screensaver is a random collection of speed runs :D

Looking into docker (don’t ask) and it seems that the first step for me is to get myself buzzword-compliant

Brid.gy looks neat but somehow if it is working or if it should work with my old posts… #indieweb

It is Trump night again. I see sooo many face palms and dented desks…

After a couple of weeks I finally won over my weaker self, didn’t eat candy today and did work out again :D

A presentation about a saltstack-web GUI and there is a slide “Cultural Impact”

Whaaat‽

I wondered why the WLAN is so bad in the apartment recently and now I found out that someone switched of the WLAN of the repeater…Empirical evidence tells me that that someone is approximately three years old…

Skinning my desktop… #xfce #dark

And let’s not talk about all the weird path-choices on macOS Server (macOS w/out server).

TIL: Using a Mac over VNC without a Mac is nreally hard because the keyboard is totally fucked up. What did you do Apple?

eBay Kleinanzeigen: wo man etwas zu verschenken aufgibt und dann den Leuten hinterher rennt, die es haben wollen #lesigh

So it is already a “Bye QubesOS, hi again Fedora”

That was a short visit into QubesOS-land but I honestly wasn’t completely convinced about to use it again…

An unexpected problem with QubesOS: I can’t use IPv6 easily apparently. Oo

Oh! Crypt of the Necrodancer is available on the iPhone \o/

Trump has an inverse reality distortion field. Jobs had one that distorted the reality from everyone else, Trump has one that distorts only his reality.

QubesOS…I have now 3 Nextcloud-clients running…

Back to QubesOS and starting now to set up the AppVMs the way I need them…

Current status

I am thinking about installing QubesOS again but loosing the ability to play games on Steam makes it a hard decision…

My blog has a new theme. I need a photo for the header and maybe a logo though… Opinions in the comments please niels.kobschaetzki.net

Oh look, there is a self-hostable alternative to IFTTT. Nice. https://github.com/muesli/beehive

Ars explains how to backup your computer to usenet oO

Hm, Wire looks interesting but how is it financed? Who pays for development and running the servers and what is the plan to keep them running?

Ich muss jedes Mal in mich hineinkichern, wenn ich lese, dass Zschäpes Verteidiger Heer, Stahl und Sturm heißen

TIL: You can’t use port 587 to send mails via an smtp-client when your firewall on the server blocks it m)

Ich frage mich gerade, ob ich eigentlich ein Impressum brauche? Inzwischen hab ich ja nicht mal mehr Flattr auf meinen Seiten.

Great podcast about different aspects of infosec with @hacks4pancakes: Mr. Robot, Secret Dating Profiles, and Network Security with Lesley Carhart

The advantage of micro-blogging on my blog: I can correct typos 😄

The recent weeks I use Twitter far too much. It’s like a car crash and I can’t look away. So I deleted the client now from my phhone

Building my mail server. Each day a piece. I have now smtp, imap, working tls and a roundcube. Soonish I might be able to switch to it.

Mein Telefon brauchte gerade Überzeugung, doch @me_netzpolitik fortzusetzen und nicht The Clash abzuspielen

I wanted to build an e-mail-server tonite but I am just too tired 😴

Switched off Jetpack on my blog and activated Piwik #datafleesUS

Awesome. I just disconnected my computer from power while updating my last blog post >_<

Interesting article that claims that the Muslim ban was a test for a coup and Trump wants to create a shadow gov

Let’s see if those double-posts vanished now 

Ok, I can now microblog from Wordpress to Twitter. Neat. :)

Hm…
