Wow, wtf? A malware for a male chestity IOT device. I didn’t even know these devices exist, and now they have malware? 😲
19:25A repost of http://cweiske.de/tagebuch/google-forms-spam.htm
Christian notices that Google Forms is being used to send spam e-mails. I see this, too. Since a few months I get several Google Forms spam mails per day, and my spam filters are not yet adjusted to this new form of spam.
This is why we can’t have nice things. Fuck you very much, spammers.
11:19Happy new year!
09:59Happy christmas, everyone. 🎄
06:29While I first avoided „The Great Pretender“ because it did sound boring, it actually is pretty funny 🤣
18:45„Rewarding CEOs for failure“ - heads they win, tails we lose.
20:19Code Geas: about a boy with daddy issues
18:18„Austerity breeds Nazis“ - an interesting review by Cory Doctorow about an article stating that austerity is a factor for breeding Nazis in a society
17:37the new relation handling of apollo’s InMemoryCache is causing me headaches…

Hu. I didn‘t know that there are Rust bindungs to Qt. Cool!

I am a lunatic with 4 keys :(
20:30A nice article about backwards compatibility at Google. Bonus points for referring to Emacs :-)
tl;dr: Google sucks because planned obsolescence for APIs.

Maybe. But to be honest: why should they? Canonical is already doing pretty much everything in MS‘ favor?

It‘s been predicted for quite some while, yet it still hasn‘t happened. 🤷♂️
06:23Wanna feel old? The babymetal artists are now over 20 years old…

Yes! I really liked She-Ra!
20:25This is way to much power for one company. https://themarkup.org/google-the-giant/2020/07/28/google-search-results-prioritize-google-products-over-competitors
08:00I ran >5k km in 398 runs since I started tracking my runs back in 2015, with 1250 km in 2020. This quantified self movement thingy is really pretty interesting.
18:23It’s quite interesting to see how political the bands of my youth have been. A lot of the songs have a very political message and I only ever noticed it years later. For example today I was listening to Rage Against The Machine today, in a nostalgic mood and stumbled over this line:
This time the bullet cold rocked ya
A yellow ribbon instead of a swastika
Nothin’ proper about ya propaganda
Fools follow rules when the set commands ya
This one is from „Bullet In The Head.“ Another line from „Just A Girl“ by No Doubt is this:
‘Cause I’m just a girl, oh, little old me
Well, don’t let me out of your sight
Oh, I’m just a girl, all pretty and petite
So don’t let me have any rights
And I can still remember the lyrics of a lot of these songs.
What I actually want to say? That I am on a nostalgic trip.
13:52When you find a bug in a very old piece of code, do you fix it (and possibly have to explain it to multiple people) or do you ignore it? 😜

I now have set up my own Matrix Server: @christian:kruse.cool 😃
07:22That feeling after an intense legs workout, when even a few steps lead to burning legs ❤️
20:49My good friend Jeena hosts a Matrix server on which he created an account for me. You can now reach me via https://matrix.to/#/@ckruse:jeena.net ✌️

TIL: Elixir’s File.stream!/2 has an option :trim_bom which removes the (optional) BOM from a file stream.
Vacation is over, but the first work day was surprisingly pleasant
15:27I‘m thinking about publishing my workouts to my website. Granted, nobody is interested in my workouts, but for a quantified self thing it might be interesting
17:57The bad thing with a DIY website: when things go wrong you are to blame. The good thing: you can fix it when something goes wrong.
09:47The last few days I‘ve been working on creating an iOS app for my website so I can publish easier when on mobile. While SwiftUI and it‘s tooling is still bugged it also made development much, much easier and less complex. I indeed enjoy the experience.
08:16SwiftUI is not quite ready for prime time… everything is still rough, a lot of pieces are missing, things are bugged, documentation is… suboptimal.
18:34Creating a SwiftUI application to publish to my website is more work than expected. But I am still pretty motivated! 😜
06:00Ok, seriously: why is it always old, white men being the biggest assholes on earth? When I was shopping this morning there was an old, white man standing directly in the entrance. When I politely asked him to step back so I could leave the building without getting to near to him he barely stepped back and laughed at me. Oh, and of course he wasn’t wearing a mask. I called him an asshole and he screamed after me, telling me how this is all a hoax and I’m an idiot for believing it.
We do this social distancing and mask wearing shit mostly for people like him: old, overweight, male, probably high blood pressure - that’s a whole lot of risk factors for dying because of COVID-19. I am still angry about this.

How is that simple? We failed for years implementing something like this. The closest we got to this is with GNOME keychain, but it still doesn‘t get it completely right…
06:28I found a new rabbit hole to fall into 😂 Just started a new iOS project using SwiftUI

Oh, I forgot Telegram
18:18This messenger thing gets out of hands. On my phone I have installed:
On my desktop computer I also have installed an IRC client. And I refuse to use Facebook messenger, Snapchat and probably some additional messenger I never heard of. This is ridiculous.
17:44I released version 0.6.0 of the microformats2 parser for Elixir. This release features value class pattern parsing and test suite compliance.
07:21Software I miss for the Linux desktop:
TIL: there is an aggregate function mode() WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY sort_expression) in PostgreSQL. It returns the most frequent value of a group. So, for example when you have this table:
CREATE TABLE foo (id serial, user_id integer, task_id integer);You can get the most frequent task ID for each user ID by using this aggregate function:
SELECT user_id, mode() WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY task_id)
FROM foo
GROUP BY user_id;Are you an Elixir developer? Take some time and answer the Elixir community survey 2020
19:02I’m hurt again. A torn muscle fiber. At least 4 weeks no running 😭💩
16:11In reply to https://wwwtech.de/notes/479
I’m seriously considering to switch again to a different distribution. Maybe back to Arch or something like that.
19:21I get why Canonical hypes Snaps that much. But seriously, why do they have to be so fucking slow to start? A simple application I already use for ages, Hexchat, now takes more than 20 seconds to start. It feels like being back on spinning disks again, and worse, even slower.
19:18When did I get so fucking old?
14:34Today’s training: long run, 25,38km in heart frequency zone 2, at 04:36 minutes per km, 1h56m.
07:57„Die Zerstörung der Presse“ – Ich finde den Stil zwar anstrengend (bin vermutlich einfach zu alt), aber er hat Recht. Viele Kritik-Punkte gehen mir auch schon seit Jahren gegen den Strich. Danke, Rezo.
17:53Fuck death.
