Aufgrund des #Klimawandels ändern sie die Startzeiten beim S25 nächstes Jahr 😬

For some reason LibreOffice Impress always printed my A3-slide on A4 today in #Fedora. And when I tried to print the image directly it was also always on A4.

On #macOS it worked directly. I don’t understand why it didn’t work in #KDE even thoughh everything was set to A3 😔 #linux

I registered for my probably last race this year. The Berliner Nikolauslauf. I did the half-marathon there last year. This time I registered for the “Big 5” (26.8 km). 5 laps around d the Schlachtensee. It is a small run around a lake with a lot of wood. Only a couple of hundred of runners. #running

If I run aroundd 90km each month until the end of the year, I could make it a 1000km-year #running

Gerade habe ich das neue (Hör)Buch von Marc-Uwe Kling durchgehört: „Views“. Ein Thriller mit aktuellem Bezug, nichts für Kinder und ganz und gar unlustig; auch wenn es vielleicht ein paar kurze Lacher gibt. Ein wenig beängstigend.

Teils etwas vorhersehbar. Aber trotzdem empfehlenswert - 4/5.

Don’t use “Outlook (new)” in #Windows 11. I just did a tcpdump and looked also at my #mail servers when setting up an account in there. The mail client only spoke with Microsoft-servers, never with my mail-servers and I saw on my mail-servers only connections from Microsoft-IPs.

Today I joined the first time a training of an adult running group. Actually they are all triathletes. But Wednesdays is their running training

They were so fast…it was so hard and I am so exhausted. But it was fun! Definitely joining the next time. #running

TIL: there are Bluetooth-dice, so that you can roll real dice and get the results transferred to a VTT 🤔

Both of my sons really wanted to watch the soccer-game tonight.

One of them told me that he remembers now why he doesn’t like watching soccer: it is so boring.

The other one got up after 30 minutes and went to bed: “This is just too boring and I am too tired.”

Definitely my kids.

I am reading currently Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjektiv-Brenyah. It is a great bookk, hard to put away, it sucks you in more and more. But is so depressing and it gets more depressing the further you read.

I can imagine that it would make a great movie but it might loose its message.

OH: „Hä? Der Ägypter hieß doch Sokratext!“

I really try to like #kmail, but this mail application has always some problems. Right now I want to get my inbox empty. I delete a bunch of mails and a few seconds later, they are back in the inbox and then they can´t be removed at all. #kde #linux

25km-race is done. I was faster than my target pace and improved my half marathon PR by more than 10 minutes. 🎉 #running

The podcast Search Engine has a great episode about the effectiveness of Trigger Warnings:

What do trigger warnings actually do?

On Sunday is my next race day. 25km.

My longest distance yet. I did once a half marathon and nearly a second one (20km) during training. Recently I had a cold, so I couldn’t train for 3 weeks. The last 2 weeks training was quite hard and I hope I can finish the run before the cut-off time… #running

I just tested Foundry with the DnD Beyond-importer. This is awesome!

Even bringing back changes of characters to Beyond seems to work.

It works great and it is so much better than Roll20 (and the VTT-stuff in Beyond). #ttrpg #dnd

What did I do wrong? Why do my kids really want to run Windows on their computers? #sigh

I will start soon a DnD-campaign and I wonder if the maps- and encounter tool are already enoughgh to replace a VTT like Roll20/Foundry. Then it would be enough that I bought a book on Beyond and don’t need to buy it on Roll20 as well (or learn how to make it work/import (in)to Foundry) #ttrpg #dnd

The one thing you notice when you play on an old console like the SNES: no loading times!

Switch it on and let’s go. And everything still works. My SNES is now more than 30 years old.

I finished “The Bezzle” by Cory Doctorow.

The start was a bit slow and I didn’t know where it wanted to go, and then came the end a bit too fast and I don’t understand why one character didn’t act a bit differently.

But it was a good book and I couldn’t put it away until finished. 4/5 I’d say.
