Do I go now to bed, get up in two hours, bring the kid to kindergarten and go to bed again, or do I wait until the kids are gone and then go to bed?

Becoming average in speaking Mandarine must be pretty hard. There are so many native speakers (and close to native speakers) that there are probably not enough learners to drag the average down by a lot.

The thing is that orgs always have new requirements and updates of soft- and hardware brings up new problems, thus system administrators are still needed in the end even though they automated everything and built highly reliable systems.

Maybe an unpopular opinion: but the two most important jobs of a system administrator is to make himself needless (for example through automation and increasing reliability of the systems he builds and maintains) and replaceable (by creating good documentation).

And today I saw on a mailing list again: people shit-talking other operating systems than the one they like usually have only barely a clue about the other operating systems they are talking about.

What is the best website currently to find Creative Common-licensed music?

Pacemaker problems…I just can’t getting this MySQL-replication back up without taking down the primary -.-

I am always surprised how few people now „at“ on Unix-like systems. It is so useful for jobs that have to run once at a certain time and where you do not want to sit in front of the machine for them. It even accepts a file as input when you want to run multiple commands.

Today’s fallout in Barovia: 2 player characters are now evil. #dnd

Using the docker-version of OnlyOffice also failed. I just couldn’t get it to work properly. Collabora was far easier.

I tried installing Onlyoffice on my Nextcloud-server today. I failed. The Ubuntu-package they provide depends on Nginx, I run Apache. Then I tried to remove it and had nginx removed before. Thus Deinstallation fails because it wants to reload nginx.

Gibt es eigentlich PC-Hardware mit der ich mir sowas wie ein 4-Bay QNAP oder Synology bauen kann, aber günstiger für gleiche Spec, um dann FreeNAS drauf zu fahren?

Next in the USA: the FDA forbids drinking water and replaces the drinking water supply with Coca-Cola.

Unexpected development: after figuring out that linking rings are fun, I play around recently a lot with sponge ball magic. Maybe I start to like rope or silk magic at one point after all.

What happens to the food in cooking competitions shows. I find Zumbos Just Desserts very entertaining but the food waste is massive. I hope the staff or whoever gets all the cake that isn’t eaten by the judges. How does it work with those shows? Everything gets thrown away?

I give up in creating a fake-Facebook-account. This is just too much work and time consuming.

I am trying to create a Facebook-account not associated with another online identity. Right now I am trying to find a disposable usable phone number. The whole process is far harder than expected.

My evening: I played around with a couple of sponge balls and a purse frame…

The Lenovo-laptop Robin uses in Titans S02E04 st 22:40 looks to new for the year the scene is playing in…

How do I teach magicians that they know how to manipulate and use perception and expectations but Facebook knows how to do this as well but does it at a far larger scale and not for astonishment or entertainment?

To someone with more knowledge in cryptography and dovecot: what is the purpose of the DH-parameters? Why don’t I need to generate DH-parameters for apache or nginx for example?

I wonder if “Not feeling the joy” is a reason to return something to Konmaries web shop

When did I wake up in one of those Cyberpunk-novels?

TIL: even whey protein-powder gets gendered and there is the normal and the „Ladies“-variant. WTF‽

When KDE 5.18 is released I will give it yet another try. I don’t know why I always want to try other distros, DMs and WMs when I am actually quite happy with my current setup.
