when uptime was a thing
It’s the small things. Like `htop` showing this exclamation mark with an uptime over 100 days. Back then a number of pride, nowadays [without live kernel patching] more a warning of all the skipped patches. #JustLinuxThings
Container all the things
Internet must be in a really bad shape when the first extension recommended by Firefox is Facebook Container from Mozilla – way before the first adblocker shows up 😔
Still recovering from the long weekend
Visiting Berlin was quite a ride. I’m sleep deprived, probably catched a cold and had to race to catch the train. Sadly we had to scratch visiting the Berlin Story Bunker by @ennolenze@mastodon.social, that I really wanted to see, from the schedule 🙁 Next time!

Having a great time at #IndieWebCamp Berlin / Germany.
Alternativlose Energiewende
TIL: Zur #Energiewende dass #Windkraft innerhalb von 1000m krank macht. Ganz anders sieht es bei den Alternativen aus. Atom z.B., habe ich mal bei The Simpsons™ gelernt, hat dieses Problem nicht. Innerhalb dieser 1000m is [bei umfallt] dann halt einfach essig so vong Leben her.
Backup all the things
Wow. ST3000NM0033 just 4.3 years shy came back with a 188 Command_Timeout of 60130459662.
This server houses either a vermin nest of some sort or someone fcked up plugging a gorram cable. Either way it’s pants on fire.
Update:
2nd act as #poem.
We complained.
They rejected,
no error to be detected.Bewildered we insisted,
and grumbling they assisted.They pulled out all the disks,
and concluded all at risk.Wait, what?
Only one was shut!Now we’ve none,
the raid is gone.Next is a letter we have to sign,
that loosing all our data is just fine.You wonder if we have a backup?
oc, always prepared for such a f… mess.

Sorry. I’m not used to this sort of chaos engineering.
Switched to winter tyres
Adulting much today. Switched to winter tyres finally. While the car (and especially the breaks) look fine three of four summer tyres are bust 🙁 Really not happy with the performance of the #ev-tyres that came with the car. Next set will be a regular one. The wear is simply not worth the few extra miles I may gain with the “softer” rubber.

Train Spotting
Tried to buy #dbahn train tickets online. Couldn’t figure out the costs (field is blank, FR+SU night, inland, #dbahn trains only, 2 people). I am supposed to enter payment data tho to book tickets. Phone rang next, session expired, #neuland happened. I give up. Will go by #ev 😕
Found some prices during the day and #ev is even way cheaper. Will have to make two stops to recharge. Would have to switch trains twice too. Hours are equal. So it’s expensive nights of uncomfortable sleep vs taking an extra day off and make a nice roadtrip+sightseeing of it.
There is so much wrong with this. Why is the train so gorram expensive? Why is plotting a route such a PITA? Why does a route request cause so much server load that the session has to be dropped within minutes? How can anyone deal with all the other drawbacks involved in this?
