  • 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 migrated my first hosts from checks via icinga2 + nrpe to icinga2 on server and host. This is so much nicer :)

  • The best explanation of capitalism I read in a long time: https://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20190616

  • The cancelled defcon is apparently a prank. Sorry :/

  • It’s a prank apparently…

    Oh, Defcon got cancelled defcon.ws But I kind of doubt that the participation at CCC will dwindle…

  • Wenn AKK so weitermacht und die CDU sie als Nachfolgerin Merkels aufstellen sollte, sehe ich eine Zukunft mit grünem/r Bundeskanzler/in. Na ja und wenn mehr Leute jungen und mittleren Alters wählen gehen…

  • Apparently I am blogging now for 13 years.

  • Yesterday I performed the first time magic for strangers at an unexpected “open mike” for magicians. I was very very nervous and showed it. But my routines worked and the people seem to like it. I have to work on my storytelling though.

  • $DE/$WM-user: “I use $DE/$WM” Arch-user with $DE/$WM: “I use $DE/$WM on Arch.”

  • Why can’t I block single people in Whatsapp-groups?

  • „Mittlerweile ist der Checkpoint viel mehr als nur ein Newsletter: Wir haben einen eigenen Comic, die Checkpoint-Laufgruppe und Live-Veranstaltungen – sogar mit Checkpoint-Band.“

    Mich interessiert aber nur der Newsletter. Nicht der Comic, nicht die Laufgruppe etc. Meh
