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

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.
