The Pilot Frixion Gel Pen is really good. Its grip is great, it dries fast and the eraseability is awesome.
A friend went into an electronic discounter & got a laptop recommended with 4GB RAM and a slow HDD. The moment windows update does stuff it gets slow as hell & she wonders what the problem could be. Dear discounters people really think they get good advice from your sales people.
Tomorrow I‘ll receive a new Bulletjournal and Frixion gel pens. Let‘s see if I can get into paper again in 2018. For studying I believe in paper more anyways for taking notes and exam preparation. Laptops are great for writing papers but not for getting stuff into your head.
As I have written before I will soon start studying CS part-time. Any recommendations for getting through math (besides visiting every session and doing all the homework - that’s how I got through all those math (or heavy on math) courses in economics at least)? Any good books?
How does it come that the bios of my shadowrun-characters get darker & grittier the older I get? In the past it was the cool hacker, the war hero who used his skills in a more profitable way. Today it is the hardened criminal, abused as a kid, trying to survive in a world of pain
What do I do next as a private project? Move my wordpress-installation (right now on a FreeBSD-VM) to OpenBSD or move it to jails (one nginx/php, one MySQL) in FreeBSD…hm…
Ich empfehle übrigens allen Quality Land von Marc-Uwe Kling zu lesen oder zu hören. Gerade denen die Technikentwicklung und mögliche Folgenabschätzung nicht so verfolgen. Das Hörbuch macht Spaß aber auch Sorgen.
I really like how Fitbit sends me a mail when my Charge 2 is nearly empty, so that I know that I should recharge it soon
My main use of Japanese these days: answering questions on Quora from time to time I wish it could be more useful.
Oh @nelstrom is writing a new book and you can already buy it pragprog.com/book/modv… #vim #neovim
An interesting article you should read: “A journey through a land of extreme poverty: welcome to America” www.theguardian.com/society/2…
There were some snapshots on my FreeNAS from June that didn’t get deleted. They just used up several hundred GB and I wondered where all my space went.
I want this, too: in Iceland there is a tradition that people give each other books as Christmas presents, open them right away and read the rest of the evening while drinking hot chocolate etc jolabokaflod.org/about/fou…
freebsd-update forgot to install three files which led to me not being able to log in anymore after a reboot. Yeah ipmi. Copied the files from my machine to an iso, mounted that, copied the files to the correct location and it worked again. What a fuck up
I added today the task “Develop master plan for 2018” onto my todo-list for tomorrow… 1.5 weeks left until vacation \o/
Script to "centralize" checking for updates on FreeBSD
I have to administrate several FreeBSD-servers and I need to know which servers need updates. Eveen though I have a poudriere running, I also have a local ports-tree on the machines because they are either not using the poudriere because they are not migrated to it yet or there was some reason to have a locally compiled package. Now I want to know daily which servers need package-updates and if any server has packages that have known CVEs. Thus I update the index of the portstree daily with the following cronjob for root:
0 3 * * * portsnap -I cron updateI have several “classes” of servers, thus I want mails for every class of server. For each class I have a cronjob like this in my personal crontab (or you could put it on one of your servers):
0 6 * * 1-5 /usr/local/scripts/check_for_updates.sh class1The user needs to be able to log into each server with an ssh-key.

Yeah, the certificate from my university came and I have now officially a Magister. And in good old Magister-tradition I needed 20+ semesters ;)
And tonight I will fill out the application for starting a B.Sc.-program in Computer Science :)
