Grrr wie soll ich den Tag richtig anfangen, wenn die Tagesschau von gestern nicht verfügbar ist >,<.
Das ist "kritische" Infra :-D.

Much has been said about using scp being outdated and how rsync should be preferred over scp, but sometimes I just want `scp -3 host1:stuff host2:stuff`.

TIL in a very awkward way that on leap years, February and August have the same date to weekday distribution (until August 29th, for obvious reasons).

Potser mai havia publicat res tan personal a internet. I he decidit fer-ho en català.

Però no és només personal. És part d'un experiment mental per identificar maneres concretes d'ajudar localment, per millorar globalment.

Esto no es a lo que se refería el RGPD / GDPR.

Brilliant. I just bought an ebook I can't read because of DRM (Digital Rights Management) and after fiddling around for an hour, I am very close to getting a pirated version so I can finally read it.
Great stuff.

Every few months I keep coming back to https://haskell-miso.org and think "huh, this looks nice".
Then I spend an hour or so figuring out the tooling, end up giving up and archive it until next time I forget why I'm not using it.

Maybe for next year I should remind people ahead of time that #sysadminday is a thing.
But hey, nothing breaks, so nobody bothers me :-p, I'm fine with that too.

Ogni giorno interagisco con cinque o sei lingue naturali. Non sono capace d'immaginare la vita di un monolingue.
Una nuova lingua porta nuovi prospettivi, più cultura, più vita.

So, I got fed up with phabricator's UI for audits, if anyone has to do way too many audits and needs some streamlined batch auditing helper, this might be useful for you:

O.ô Upload Filter + diese Regelung mit Ziel: "[Verpflichtung aller Anbieter ihrer] Plattformen aktiv nach Bildern von Kindesmissbrauch zu durchsuchen", heißt doch AI trainieren und dafür **dementsprechende Datensätze haben**, oder?
Es klingt… Bescheuert.

I've just wasted about 20 hours in total to, I kid you not, Windows 10's inconsistent use of case sensitive APIs.
Apparently you can find either of these depending on Windows 10's build or god knows what:
- HKCU\Software
- HKCU\SOFTWARE

Die SBB empfehlt mir die Schweiz weiter zu entdecken.
Die News empfehlen mir weiter zu hause zu bleiben '^^.
Ich wäre auch gerne Optimist abeeeer...

Heute bemerkt: morgen fängt Monat 6 meiner "sozialer Isolierung" an.
Trotz des Leids und der Leere, fühlt es sich langsam "normal" an; wozu will man Menschen um sich wieder? Ich vergesse es häufiger.

Different ways of reading the same news:

~~"US is not worthy of special treatment regarding data privacy and is to be considered a third country"

vs:

It's official. #freebsd has become my go-to OS to test things.
Need to debug networking in a virtualisation environment? #freebsd's live "CD" it is.
Need to quickly test the deployment of X or Y? A #freebsd VM it is.

As of today I am supporting `main` as a git branch on all projects I touch.
Wherever possible I'll also disable `master`, but when it's not, `main` will be... the *main* branch.

Today I was thanked privately for creating and maintaining a #freebsd port.
This literally never happened in any other project I was involved in, and I am taking it as a sign of a healthy community.
