Talking about “unix”-tricks and how to show progress with dd but having no siginfo available 🤔 And my gut-feeling tells me that all those shell-tricks in the presentation might only be tested in bash and maybe zsh…

How do you manage dotfiles with different operating systems? I use stow for “deploying” them and have three branches in my git-repo (one for Linux, one for FreeBSD, one for OpenBSD). What are you using?

Just found this on reddit: Jimmy Kimmels people asked random people on the street to name a book. And I hope the result wouldn’t be the same here in Germany: https://www.bustle.com/p/jimmy-kimmel-challenged-people-on-the-street-name-any-book-it-went-extremely-badly-9129568

Is there a way to build a port in #OpenBSD outside of the ports-directory? /usr has only 2GB, is nearly full and building Lazarus needs too much space. Or should I just check out the ports-tree in my home?

Sometimes I am thinking about erasing myself from the net as much as possible, what it would entail and which disadvantages and advantages it might bring

What is the reasoning for having a low limit of how many open files I can have at the same time? What is the disadvantage of setting kern.maxfiles to 65535 for example? #openbsd

ZipRecruiter-ads in a podcast about The education and Training of an ISIS-fighter might not be the wisest choice I think.

Oh fuck. My one private CentOS-machine is b0rked. I have apparently nearly 200 duplicate packages and cannot update. WTF?

Thanks to an awesome friend who helped me debut and explained my problems, I could solve my CS-assignment after all \o/ Yeah, for awesome friends!

Is there a better graphical front end to gdb than KDbg? #devtools #linux

I am too stupid for CS :(

Ar least this time my brain found the answer to my question while writing the mail to mailing list, and not 5 seconds after I hit send…

After a long time I had today a look at KDE again. And I am quite impressed. I might change from Gnome3 to KDE.

It is astounding how many companies are not able to set correct SPF-entries.

There is a fair today and I did some rides which make me think that I am getting too old. I nearly started vomiting twice…

OH Kind in Neukölln: „Darf ich die Treppe runterlaufen? Da sind auch keine Drogen.“

I solved my LibreOffice-problem (setting a background image in the bottom left corner scaled and get it displayed correctly in presentation mode) by creating the presentation in another tool, saving it as pptx, then open it in LO. Now it works and can be edited. What the Bug?

After years and years of using Keynote I have to create a presentation in LibreOffice Impress. And it sucks even more than PowerPoint. Who would have thought that this is possible?

Can anyone recommend me a mailing list for mail-administrators in general? I know only some which are specific to a certain software. But I want for example talk about spam fighting tactics.

The scale is broken :( Do I get now a normal one for 20€ or is there any good reason to get an expensive one with WiFi, Bluetooth etc.? I guess a scale that measures body fat is only useful when it has this sensor you hold in your hands, isn’t it?

I downloaded this PenPal-app from the AppStore because I like the concept of it. But it makes me kind of feeling old because I get only messages from like 18 year olds. The oldest person I met so far is 24 I think. That they don’t take age into consideration when matching people.
