Yesterday I worked all day long with some UltraSparcs running SunOS 5.6. My only access was with via serial cable and for some reason Backspace/CTRL-H only worked in some sessions. Editing of files only via sed. Or booting from CD…Single Speed.

Not everything was better in the past.

I’m training for a marathon at the end of March with an app-made plan.

Total distance by then: 733km 😳

One week off for 38C3 (34km less than the 733km), but the plan doesn’t include my weekly running club sessions. #running

I like the medal of the run from today #running

26.8km-Race finished but wasn’t as fast as I wanted to be. I placed ok-ish though. And now my legs and feet are still hurting #running

Race Day!

26.8km.

Let’s see if I can reach my target time of 2:30:00.

Berlin Marathon is a go in 2025. And a colleague of mine also had luck and will start 🚀

The tradition of the yearly Lego Christmas village begins.

This year we start with the Chinese New Years Temple 😅

My wife made Baklava. I read that you can store it or up to two weeks. I really doubt that this will be necessary 🤤

Ich lese ein IT-Sicherheitsbuch einer Professorin, dass sich wie eine Abschlussarbeit eines Studenten liest…

Und bei den Beispielen denke ich jedes Mal: das was der Nutzer da macht, ist nicht ok - aber wo hat denn die IT so verkackt, dass das überhaupt geht und warum ist das nicht der Schwerpunkt🤦

Improvement over a year:

Half-Marathon in December last year: ca 2h30 (first time ever that I ran the distance) at an average pace of 7'10"/km

Half-Marathon today: 1h55 (training run, but PB) with an average pace of 5'28"/km #running

So #garmin replaced my watch and I got new one. It has an old firmware and I can’t install my preferred watch face or the hydration tracker because of it.

But the one thing you read in the forum is that if you want a working watch, you don’t use a firmware which is 17.26 or newer…

I am old. I have now my own blood pressure meter…

I’m testing a new app for #running plans to see if it is better than #trait / #twaiv

It is called #Runna. The workouts a distance- and not time based. I can make plans for arbitrary distances and it has plans for strength-training and guided cooldown-stretches. It costs more but it is more complete.

Meine Lieblingsfahrradfahrer sind ja die, die im Dunkeln mit dunkler Kleidung ohne Licht auf dem Fahrradweg in die falsche Richtung fahren.

Hell Yeah! I finally did it! 10k in Sub 50 - 49:27! 🥳🥳🥳 #running #great10k

I just registered for the Berlin marathon next year. 200 Euro starting fee, and 40 Euro for the finisher shirt. That’s a lot of money. Let’s see if I win in the raffle to get a starting number. #running

„Politikum ist der Podcast für alle, die Lust auf echte Diskussionen haben, auf Argumente statt Lagerdenken.“

Und dann gibt es nur eine Meinung. Gerade eine Folge zu Terrorismusbekämpfubg begonnen und der Experte meinte, dass man Vorratsdatenspeicherung braucht. Und dann keine echte Gegenmeinung…

A colleague is trying to convince me to just skip doing a marathon on my way to longer distances and jump directly to an #ultra with 1000m up and 1000m down in those 53km.

My actual plan was to do quite a flat marathon first and then add altitude and then more distance… #running

I feel like my inner self is slowly descending into chaos and I need something to structure my notes and things I have to do, and in my work keep an overview of what my team is doing (being the team lead). In the past I used #gtd for personal #productivity. Anything better nowadays out there?

Ich präsentiere “Das Updatier”

(ChatGPT hat’s erstellt).

Jetzt will ich Aufkleber. #sysadmin

Das Updatier - eine Mischung aus Katze und Updates?

Without being able to sync the new #Reeder with #Newsblur it is unfortunately not useful for me. Let’s hope “Classic” Reeder works for many years to come.

Oops, did a half-marathon in under 2 hours 🥳 #running #pb

Awesome! A Linkin Park-concert with the new singer - old songs, new voice. She is great.

Unfortunately the race didn’t went that well and I couldn’t reach my own goal of running 10km in less than 50 minutes. It wasn’t even enough for a new PR in 10k, at least a new PR for 5k.

I am not sure what went wrong. I didn’t sleep well, maybe that was enough to keep my willpower back 😔 #running

Last training before the first 10k in the next 6 weeks tomorrow. I hope it paid off.

In the last two months I ran more than 360kms and all the tools (#Garmin, #Trait and #Runalyze) predict a race pace that is faster than 4:40/km. Staying at 4:50/km for 10km would already be pretty awesome. #running
