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‽

Nice write-up about running systems without swap nowadays: Do we really need swap on modern systems? I use it on my laptops anyway for hibernation. But good to know that you want to have it for reaction time. Never thought about it in those terms.
