TIL: „The Ashinoko Skyline, a private toll road in the city of Hakone plays A Cruel Angel’s Thesis when driven over at a constant speed. The music is created from the vehicle’s tires due to specially built tarmac surface.“ (quotes from the Wikipedia)
Yeah, Cybereyes are coming www.theguardian.com/science/2…
Why do they call it Libra and not Credits? Then we would be at least in accordance with SciFi-literature.
Magic books: why are they so rarely available as ebooks? I don’t have the space and I want to be able to carry them around all the time.
I knew FBSD has its problems but every time I read this blog post, I wonder what the devs think when they make the choices they are making: FreeBSD - a lesson in poor defaults vez.mrsk.me/freebsd-d…
Interesting thing I got asked from a non-nerd: Is it possible to remove the protection from an ebook that I want to buy? I don’t want that company™ removes the book from my device or that I cannot open it anymore for some reasons one day.
I just checked the BMI for my size and 60kg with 1.80m is just over underweight? I would be only skin and bones if I would weigh 60kg…I cannot believe that this not already underweight. I would have thought the lower border would be like 65-70kg.
I wonder why Netflix used apparently a new translation for NGE. Maybe they couldn’t score the license for the original subs for some reason. And then the job was like: “Do it, 26 episodes, 1 week time max.” So no chance to dive into the subtleties but just rush it.
Netflix apparently didn’t ruin NGE for me. I don’t care about “Fly me to the moon” and always found it kind of annoying and I watch it with Japanese subtitles for the learning effect. So, lucky me :)
No, I won’t enter a thread about language subtleties in Japanese. I value my sleep and blood pressure more.
And I got several balls for cups and balls for really cheap because the magic shop wanted to remove them from the inventory. Now I can have a look at Vernon’s Impromptu Cups and Balls :)
I organized my magic tutorial videos today. It seems I do not need to buy any for the next decade or so. At least so long it will take until I learned all the stuff taught there (and a bit less when I take out the stuff that turned out not really interesting…)
Yesterday I got a scam-call from the Windows Technical Center regarding my computer. And today I got two more calls. But no time to let them “help” me with my computer.
I saw today Seoul Line 1 at the Grips-theatre. It was awesome. And it seemed to be the special special thingy because Grips became 50 years old this year. The author of the original was there, the author/producer of the Korean variant was there. Exchange of presents etc.
I migrated my first hosts from checks via icinga2 + nrpe to icinga2 on server and host. This is so much nicer :)
The best explanation of capitalism I read in a long time: https://leasticoulddo.com/comic/20190616
It’s a prank apparently…
Oh, Defcon got cancelled

But I kind of doubt that the participation at CCC will dwindle…
Wenn AKK so weitermacht und die CDU sie als Nachfolgerin Merkels aufstellen sollte, sehe ich eine Zukunft mit grünem/r Bundeskanzler/in. Na ja und wenn mehr Leute jungen und mittleren Alters wählen gehen…
Yesterday I performed the first time magic for strangers at an unexpected “open mike” for magicians. I was very very nervous and showed it. But my routines worked and the people seem to like it. I have to work on my storytelling though.
