Over the weekend I have been moving my stuff from a dedicated server to three DigitalOcean droplets (affiliate link). I'm down from 60 EUR to about 20 EUR. Yay! :)
I also took the chance and moved my configuration to deployment via ansible. What a relief!
I also have to admit, I'm impressed by the work DO did, it is really fast to create a new droplet. It is just a matter of under a minute.
This one is mainly for my US friends: Why electronic voting is a bad idea
„Wizards never tell!“ „I could tell! … But that would be a story for another time.“ 😂
I don't think that this is good news… I think that is ridiculous
My most loved recent find: Zeal, a Dash for Linux.
StackOverflow coders, beware! Round about half of the PHP/MySQL questions on Stack Overflow contain SQL injections.
My good friend Tobias just discovered that Homebrew tells Google every command you execute.
I wasn't aware of that, either, and I surely never confirmed this – I would never say yes to that.
The good news? You can disable that with brew analytics off
The last week I have been writing on a new iOS project. I hadn't had so much fun during work for ages.
Learning new things is fun, and the iOS ecosystem is pretty neat!
The question is: why do you need a light bulb with ZigBee?
Avoid the IoS: the internet of Shit
Turns out: you shall not sell your Google Pixel.
Yet another reason for me to avoid Google.
I'm rolling on the floor laughing – „It took millions of years for mankind to evolve. Now they're hunched over cellphones, playing with your balls.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC7H99-7wxk
I think we should create a new term for this type of problems:
to jeena: to fuck up your computers with weird and esoteric problems.
you jeenad your hardware!
Yeah, my boss liked that part most ;-)
I have to face it: I'm no longer target audience for a MacBook Pro. They dropped all ports, still only 16GB RAM and still an old CPU. This is not what I expect from a pro notebook. I like the idea of the touch bar, but it doesn't compensate the missing features.
After careful consideration we decided not to buy a new MBP but instead bought a Tuxedo Notebook which I can get with 32GB RAM, a fast i7 Kaby lake CPU and a lot of ports (inluding a network port).
„If you buy a Linux notebook your macs file for divorce“ 😂

Upgrade to iOS 10.1 now https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207271
„Upgrade your SSH key“ - you really should https://blog.g3rt.nl/upgrade-your-ssh-keys.html (via @rodneyrehm). I did this a few weeks ago.
Does Google really do hiring tests like this? I can't belive it, this seems so dumb. The answers the guy gave have all been correct and the recruiter obviously didn't know anything about CS.
If this is true that would explain a lot…
This guy writes about why and how he is using Emacs despite not being a developer. Interesting read!
