„Ich brauche Kaffee. Aber für Kaffee müsste ich aufstehen. Um aufzustehen, bräuchte ich Kaffee. Ich werde wohl hier sterben.” Dieses Gefühl ist mir wohl bekannt 😂
„Please go fuck yourself at your earliest convenience” will be one of my favourite sayings 😂

Using iOS as your primary OS is like using desktop Linux.
No, hear me out. See, Linux users don’t care how much easier we say it is in our non-Linux worlds. Sure, they say it’s because of open access and free as in scotch ale and yadda yadda yadda, but really? They like the challenge. Figuring out how to do what they used to do on a Mac or Windows PC is part of the allure.
While, of course, I can't speak for all Linux users I totally can say for myself: bullshit. he can't be more wrong. A lot of things would be easier if I would use OS X, especially during my work time. I use Linux because of two reasons: it offers an overall benefit since as a developer a lot of things work better for me using Linux and it is libre software.
Currently: no. Hm, but this is a good idea. And the default filter value should be based on the Accept-Language
value.
Most of this site's content is english - but sometimes I want to write about a topic in German. To be able to do this I added a lang
attribute to all of my content; is this, my dear reader, enough or should I add additional markup to warn and inform you of the language of the content?

Wow, while this is meant as a joke I pretty much enjoy it. 👍
They're great, aren't they? Did you get the bluetooth variant?
Recently I read a very interesting article about the UK leaving the EU debacle. It is written in form of an e-mail dialogue between father (voting to leave despite being a left-wing) and son (voting to remain). He basically argues that the EU is a right-wing, neo-con construct in its very basic structures. A highlight:
For me, the right-wing junta aspect of the EU is more important, but the effects of that are longer term. For the people I’m talking about, immigration was an immediate and important problem affecting jobs, housing and facilities, and it didn’t help that every time they tried to mention it they were automatically accused of racism. That’s what drives people into the arms of fascists; if you consistently won’t listen to what they say, they’ll find someone who will. The rise of the pan-European far right is entirely down to the EU.
Totally a must-read!
Tantek mentions my MF2 parser :-)
Sadly he links to github.com/ckruse instead of wwwtech.de/about.
My next spare time project? An aquifer for our greenhouse. I'd totally like to use the greenhouse more, but if you are in holidays everything would die.
You are right, a lot of players take an overly technical approach. And GNOME Music has a nice UI doing it differently. But on the other hand it's missing key features like gapless playback and replay gain; heck, you can't even change the music directory, it always looks into ~/Music
.
And IMHO you're also missing the point about iTunes. It was not about the new music overview, this is great and I like it. It is about the missing sidebar, the mix-in between shop and your local music collection as well as Apple Music. These three problems make iTunes very hard to use, I am constantly looking for my music and am constantly confused about the navigation state.
The pipe of death:
find . -name "*.flac" -type f -exec dirname "{}" \; | uniq | perl -lne 'print quotemeta' | xargs -I{} cp -rv "{}" ~/Desktop/flac
„Find all directories with flac files in them and copy the found directories to ~/Desktop/flac
”
Universal clip board? I just shit in my pants…
Installing Ubuntu for the 30th time today. Slowly it gets repetitive.
Current status: ansible-playbook site.yml --limit workstations
Nice! I thought about buying one, too - well, the modern version. But these are so expensive... it's ridiculous
Ok, it's hard but I have to admit: Sketch is so much better than everything the FLOSS world has to offer...
Have fun! If I remember correctly the NTP protocol is a train wreck
Calling a DVD oldschool is... interesting 😉
Very interesting visualization of a filter bubble/echo chamber on the basis of the presidential election in the USA. What see liberals, what see conservatives? Eye opening.
Interesting article about switching from OS X to Windows. I didn’t even know that there are people doing this. He says:
I've been using Windows since February and not regretting it. As a professional, you use the tools you have to in order to complete the project to your client's specifications. Therefore, most of you wouldn't have a single problem making the switch. If you're deeply embedded in Apple's ecosystem with iCloud, iMessage and iEgo, I'm sure it will be a challenge, but not impossible.
He seemed to be deeply frustrated with Apple and their ecosystem. He advises to switch while you still have your Mac hardware lying around; I can second that, it is much easier to switch if you have the possibility to say „fuck it, I have to get this done, I will check for a solution later“ when problems occur.
I found this article via Jeena.
I’m sorry for your loss. Sucks balls that people do that.
Nonetheless this has something good: it reminds me that I wanted to encrypt my workstation as well!
Have fun! I bought a more expensive one (round about 800 € as well) and I am more than happy with it, even after six years.
