The programming-course doesn’t only use Pascal but the forum for the student exchange is a newsgroup Oo I bet chatting with the staff is done via IRC…

My first CS-course about programming teaches it with Pascal… that, well… it is a bit surprising.

I ask for a lightning-cable-recommendation and some troll comes up from under the bridge to lash out at me how much Apple sucks. WTF‽

My new problem which I encountered now on several OpenBSD-servers (6.1 and 6.2) and now on FreeBSD (11.1-p7) as well: the pf.conf is not loaded after booting the machine and I have to kick it once so that it works.

I am listening to Nightwish and immediately I feel an urge to want to play Vampire: The Masquerade. I didn’t know that those two things were this much connected for me.

I am burning a music-CD. This feels so 90s…

I arrived at mathematical induction and my brain just doesn’t want to comprehend it :/

I solved my duplicate host-problem (same host, two names with identical IPs in the FritzBox) now by restarting the FritzBox…

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I am using Fedora 27 on my laptop and a FritzBox by AVM as my home router/dns-multipurpose-network-thingy. Any ideas why my ULA resolves to a wrong FQDN (netcat-2.fritz.box instead of netcat.fritz.box) and how I could fix this?

Challenges with the children’s birthday party: some kids eat only white chocolate, other kids only helal. Well, luckily both is not so much of a problem here :)

There is a flatpack for signal-desktop. Thus it can be also used on Fedora for example

flatpak --user install --from [flathub.org/repo/apps...](https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.signal.Signal.flatpakref)

You cannot migrate your data from the Chrome-App though.

Now I even have to read the privacy policies of mobile apps. An app on the AppStore for opening LibreOffice-files sends all files to the server of the dev for preparing them for the app. This is not mentioned when you open the app, only in the help and privacy policy. WTF?

Social network based on a blockchain. No, you won’t delete this post, we will never forget.

How did I miss that there was a new 2600 released? I really need some kind of subscription or at least a reminder or so…

Ich lese seit Jahrzehnten mal wieder die Drei ??? Ich habe total vergessen wieviel mehr Details in den Büchern als in den Hörspielen sind. Und manches kommt mir vor, als ob ich es nie gelesen hätte (zB der Super-Papagei)

Hmm: „You may not: (i) modify, disassemble, decompile or reverse engineer the Mobile Software, except to the extent that such restriction is expressly prohibited by law“ #vero

Interesting: Vero declares that I own my content but I give them more or less permission to do anything with it (which they technically need for the service) but it is „irrevocable“. Thus they directly say that they will never delete my content even when I close my account.

I am getting old: I read about a new online service and instead of clicking myself directly an account, I read the Privacy Policy and the Terms of Use before I do anything else…

According to Reuters, Apple will soon move keys for Chinese users to data centers in China, so that authorities can always access them. They have to for complying with Chinese law. But this shows why we need a decentralized infrastructure independent from big corporations.

Google Music and other streaming-services seem to be like Netflix: music gets deleted & re-added depending on licensing I guess. Well, it’s just a subscription and you do not own the music. But I pay now more for music because of streaming in a year than I did ever before

The Google Support doesn’t seem to know what it is doing and seems to be less knowledgeable about things like gmail/googlemail in its accounts than me…

Ich fange jetzt an die Drei ??? als ebooks nachzukaufen. Fast 200 Bände (ohne Sonderteile)…das wird dauern.
