Note to self: if CI is telling you that the build failed.
Maybe look into it even if it looks like the thing worked anyway :-).
Ont he plus side: it made a weird issue easier to debug.

Día de RPG. Vaya, ehem. Paranoia.

Per request on Twitter, I made a couple videos on how my #freebsd daily experience is.
You can see them here:

I've been using computers for 20 years. UNIX-like for 17.

Frage im Podcast gehört "Sollte man, sich dann aus Pflichtgefühl auch häufiger Melden, oder ist es OK mal zu sagen 'nein, es ist gerade so stressig, wir können es nicht leisten'."

Microsoft: "Exciting news about your subscription" (name change)

Frigging deutsche #telekom is just as bad, actually worse, than microsoft at email.

«Two thousand years before me, the philosopher Seneca had experienced the same troublesome predicament: No matter where you go, your problems go with you.»

I associate the change to/from summer time with travelling places.

GitHub's dependabot or... "Let me open a PR outside of your working hours because time zones do not exist and US is the only country ever. Also, if you don't reply within 2 hours, I'll close the PR with a passive-aggressive messsage"

Working from Home and forgot my mouse in the office...

More people should learn how to write and read properly.

Judging by multiple work environments: it doesn't look like that has been a core-skill in our education systems in decades.

I truly wonder how anything gets done.

These days in Germany (and everywhere) this song seems awfully relevant.

"Weil täglich immer mehr passiert.
Weil der Hass auf Fremde eskaliert.

Following on "it was MTU" yesterday...
"It was firewall" today.
