  • 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…

  • TIL: There is an -ls-switch for find

  • 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…

  • Ehm… that happens when I search for „xdm themes“ on duckduckgo images

  • Frau Barley will jetzt XMPP per Gesetz erzwingen oder so…

  • I just found out that you can theme the xenodm-login. Does anyone have links for nice themes? #openbsd
