Where is the person who whined about fucked-up Ubuntu-updates? I have here a fucked-up macOS-update (Sierra to High Sierra) and I had to fall back to verbose mode to see what is wrong and have now to re-install. Everything takes ages…

I’d really like to take part in a politics or economics-podcast. Or at least have an interesting conversation about those areas. I really miss that from university :/

I just saw Die Hard. Those were the times where my studies in Japanese science and economics probably would have been more “profitable” than my hobby “doing stuff with computers”.

From a book about operating systems: „Idle lawyers tend to become politicians, so there is a certain social value in keeping lawyers busy.“ (Operating System Concepts Essentials)

Cars 3 was faaaar better than expected :D

And now: two overly happy kids

and Cars 3 in the movies

Surprise, IT-Sicherheit in deutschen Kommunen ist unterirdisch.

Es gab nie eine Sicherheitseinweisung für mich, […] , aber es gab keinen Hinweis, dass man ein sicheres Passwort wählen soll.

"10 Best LaTeX-editors for Linux" There is more than vim with TeX-9 or vim-latex? Oh yes, emacs with AUCTeX… 😉

Watched Stranger Things, did some dumbbell training and meditated. Sounds like a good Sunday evening

Today‘s The Daily is imho one of the best produced podcast-episodes I‘ve listened to in a long time. Besides that it is interesting mobile.nytimes.com/2017/11/1…

I need to start meditating again.

Achievement unlocked: die erste Box Weihnachtskekse vor dem 1.12./1. Advent gebacken und aufgegessen. (Gebacken letzte Woche, heute aufgegessen)

I just saw for the first time Deadpool. That was fun :D

Your security-software can’t authenticate on my mail server. „The settings seem to be standard. Can you try it on port 25 without SSL?“

No…and I even have to reconfigure submission for allowing auth w/out TLS…

‪Pinocchios Schlaraffenland wurde heute im Kindertheater mit Sonnenstuhl, VR-Brille und Diskokugel dargestellt. Der Fuchs war nen Alki und die Katze hat gekokst. Sehr abgefahrenes Stück. ‬

I have to look into Bitwarden. That might be a way to replace password-store for me and have a self-hosted password manager solution for the family.

‪TIL there is SNI for pop3, imap and smtp. But clients do not necessarily support it. ‬

Live substitution in neovim is pretty cool: Vimcasts: Live substitution and yank highlighting

‪Monitoring: a cron job, which runs a script to let a command write something into a file and send it per mail. Because it is the fastest way to implement this as a quick fix. I bet some day it will be explained with “because of reasons” m) #sysadminslife‬

A bit of the pile of shame

This page is nearly completely part of my pile of shame. How many hours are this? 300, 400 or even more?

‪Woohoo, I got a message from the university that I passed everything in Japanese Science and Economics and will get my certificate in 4 weeks \o/‬

Tools I won’t be using anymore: TT-RSS

I am using newsblur currently but often think about that I might switch back to a self-hosted solution. But the community seems to composed of assholes. So, no thanks.

See yourself: A category named gas chambers?

The repo for the game: dissent on github #rpg

For the thing I have in mind right now the working title probably changes from „Menschmaschinen“ to „Dissent“

Instead of doing more posts about a game on the blog, I think I will start soon-ish a github-repo where I write in public. Issues for feedback, pull requests for corrections ;) #rpg
