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.
Es gibt zwar erst zwei Folgen, aber die sind super. Hört euch “Systemeinstellungen – wenn der Staat bei dir einbricht” von Netzpolitik.org an.

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:
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
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.
I find the term “enshittification” good but its evolution to use it for everything that is not good or became crap over time and its over-use is annoying.
Just because things become crap, they are not a victim of enshittification.
I finally read Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan. It was highly recommended and it is really good.
Noir and cyberpunky. Even if you have seen the Netflix-series I can recommend to read it. Can’t wait to read the other two books with Takeshi Kovacs. But first “The Bezzle” by Cory Doctorow.
I registered for my next race. I think it helps me keep #running That way I have deadlines when I want to reach a certain time and have a target to train for. The next one is 25km in May (actually there is a 5.5km a couple of days before which is more a fun event) and then a 10.5km in September.
