I've been thinking a lot about this lately:
https://thecorrespondent.com/455/once-more-for-feeling-why-trying-new-things-is-overrated-and-repetition-is-vital-to-society/60193938805-824daa94

Our generalised "OH SHINY" culture is detrimental long-term if nobody is willing do the "boring" maintenance work.
Funnily enough, there is plenty of innovation waiting to happen at work in the latter.
And in inter-personal relationships, those are *precisely* the rewarding bits.

Sunny confinement activities: upgrading datacenterlight.ch #freebsd images (dualstack and IPv6-only). Automating the process while at it.

Learnt a thing or two of #freebsd
releng team's work with that, could come in handy some day.

The whole thing is obviously Open Source, like most things at ungleich.ch:
https://code.ungleich.ch/ungleich-public/ungleich-tools/merge_requests/5

Me using Linux these days: ^T^T^T^T^T^T^T^T
#bsd things

TIL: not to add Glue Records *and* use that immediately as a Name Server.
Probably waiting it out a few days would have been better :-D.

OK, this "push to create repo" workflow on sr.ht: wonderful.

SourceHut really stays out of the way :-D.

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:

(Won't upload the videos to chaos.social, to save storage to the admins :-))

I've been using computers for 20 years. UNIX-like for 17.
I have to search every single week at least once how to use `case` in shell scripts or `switch` in programming languages

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'."

Und genau deswegen, um keine Ausrede oder Erklärungen geben zu müssen, habe ich mal https://evilham.isalive.me eingestellt.

So, I wrote down how to quickly update a #freebsd port.
I reckon this was a very easy one :-) but I sometimes forget a couple things myself and would rather find them quickly.
Do let me know if you find it useful.

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

Literally nobody: "OMG THAT'S SO EXCITING!"

Sunday activities: https://postmaster.t-online.de/index.en.html

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.
Well, that's not happening now.

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...
Using Trydactil to compensate is good, but: any German speaking person will realise how terrible it is that the shortcut allows for `HH`.

Ähm. What?
