Today I was very close to buying Shadowrun 6th edition. This was a close call 😰

RMS is a militant computer-vegan. The Linux-user who wants to have free software, more control about his computer but uses from time to time proprietary drivers (WiFi, Nvidia…) and proprietary software is a computer-vegetarian and macOS- and Win-users are computer-omnivores.

You know what happens tomorrow? The PDF of Cyberpunk Red will become available. Yeah :D

And Polygon has already a pretty good review.

I am waiting for months for this game :)

How to keep users from updating your software 101: LimeSurvey has a manual update method (throw all away except some files and re-upload) and a “comfort method”. First buy a trial key - and then you get a clickety-click update.

All the love to Wordpress for auto-updates.

This is the first time in ages where I have only (S)FTP to upload a web-application to a server and no rsync or scp or ssh-access to directly download and extract on the server. How do people live with that?

This is so fucking slow and cumbersome.

I never went so fast from “Let’s see if there is a relevant YouTube-video about this” to “Fuck this, I should start my own channel because this is all crap” while trying to find something relevant about journalctl.

Another discovery: youtube-sysadmins know about “man” but only skim over them in their videos but never use “apropos” which would be usually far more useful in their context (showing people which man-pages could be relevant to the topic).

Youtubing sysadmin copies over unit-file from /usr/lib/systemd/system/…/file.service to /etc/systemd/system/file.service instead of just using systemctl edit file.service and create an override.conf

Why? Oo
