After a hard drive failure and thanks to #cdist and #zfs on #freebsd (with automatic backups every 15 mins), my work station (which doesn't have enough slots for drive redundancy) is back online after only running a few commands and moving a couple hundred GB across the network.

Today is one of those days in which I'd leave computers and… Idk, do beekeeping somewhere not densely populated.

Operation of ruby-based software sucks. Big time.

Mongodb. The "database" that has you fear for data whenever something unexpected happens.
(regardless of backups and all that)

bits = [bit for bit in bits if bit]

Jeeeeebus... pip install cryptography requires the rust compiler...

At the end of the day.

After a documentation sprint, I finished the documentation for all of my #cdist types.
Including those allowing you to run an authoritative DNS server on #freebsd, also as an ISP including PTR records for your IPv6/IPv4 subnets an all that.
It feels good to see the green build here: https://git.sr.ht/~evilham/cdist-evilham/

Time to test again my automated #freebsd update #cdist types :-p.

r368820 was the last SVN commit to #freebsd :-p.

"Mark the repository as being converted to Git.

This is the last Subversion commit to src."

After a couple months of stable weight, having lost nearly 20kg, today is the first day I use pants my size and... Boy is that a difference.

TIL about http://testanything.org precisely what I needed for a custom tool that is to be used in contexts fully alien to Software Development.

Bonus: turns out https://github.com/jmmv/kyua uses it, which means I'm on the right track here :-D.

Pulling the plug on a thing I deprecated about 2 years ago and people *still use*. Now I have to think about yet another "graceful" transition.
Jeez... dealing with computers (and people) is just the worst.

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Much has been said about using scp being outdated and how rsync should be preferred over scp, but sometimes I just want `scp -3 host1:stuff host2:stuff`.
