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

Der Radweg vom Südstern zum Hermannplatz ist auf den ersten 200m richtig gut und dann kommt die Baustelle…

I feel tired and exhausted. And it is just tuesday 🥱

Sleight of hand can be a useful skill when mythical beings like the tooth fairy forgot to do stuff…yeah, coin magic skills ;)

A first session of Hero Quest with my kids. They successfully but barely saved Sir Ragnar.

I just watched “Dealt” - the documentation about Richard Turner. It is really good and he is just so awesome. What he is doing with cards is just so out of this world.

And ehm. Woohoo! 🎉

Someone at the NY Times was really excited when typing these sentences…

Shouldn’t the evangelicals just say now: “Ok, apparently the Lord’s plan is different than I expected.”?

I wonder how nerve-wracking that must be for Trump and Biden.

This sounds pretty cool: Console-bound systemd services, the right way #sysadmin #linux

QualityLand 2.0 von Marc-Uwe Kling durchgehört. Wie immer: nehmt das Hörbuch anstelle des Buchs, weil sein Stil vorzulesen Mehrwert bringt. Sehr unterhaltsam. Nicht so gut wie Band 1 aber trotzdem unterhaltsam.

Definitiv nicht kindertauglich; eher FSK12 oder ggf. sogar höher.

With countries like China you can at least say “this is the system, this is the government”. But with the US you can now definitely say “yes, it is the people”. Sorry for those who do not support an autocratic rascist. I still have my fingers crossed.

Every time I watch Last Week Tonight in the recent months I wonder if they have guillotines in the US.

Ubuntu 20.10 encrypts zpools with zfs native encryption when you choose zfs and encryption in the installer.

But there is really a snapshot-overload. Every time you install a single package a snapshot is created which seems to be a BE actually. This should be fine-tuned somehow…

Tbh I rarely check out if news are for real real. But this seemed so unbelievable I searched for it. And it is true. Wow 😳

“Day of Remembrance for Americans Killed by Illegal Aliens”

Wie ist denn “Lockdown-Affinität nicht der Titel des aktuellen Logbuch: Netzpolitik geworden? 🤣

RIP Sean Connery :/
