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 :)

Well, FML. macOS 10.13, root-problem published. I set a root-password. I install Security 2017-001 which should fix the problem. I couldn’t even unlock with the set pw, thought I mistyped. I installed 10.13.1 and root works without a password again. Thanks Apple!
And his wive is actually the one who makes the career and he has to move with her and not the other way around. And she looks like a „normal“ woman not like some super sexed up doll. #diehard
Odd thing I find fascinating about Die Hard 1 & 2 is that the hero doesn’t get the some new girl in each movie but that he just tries to save his wive and wants to see his kids.
Why does it at least feel like there are so many tutorials, books and courses about shell-scripting that are just about bash but not about POSIX-shell scripting? With the latter one people can write portable scripts.
An Open Source application that explains that it is designed to be not tied to any one company/service and its only way initially to sync is OneDrive and not something like Nextcloud (planned though) m(

I read a biography about RMS and now I am really thinking about calling the OS GNU/Linux and not just Linux.
