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Much has been said about using scp being outdated and how rsync should be preferred over scp, but sometimes I just want `scp -3 host1:stuff host2:stuff`.

TIL in a very awkward way that on leap years, February and August have the same date to weekday distribution (until August 29th, for obvious reasons).

@tuttle @titi això va en línia de coses que hem parlat últimament :-).

Potser mai havia publicat res tan personal a internet. I he decidit fer-ho en català.

Però no és només personal. És part d'un experiment mental per identificar maneres concretes d'ajudar localment, per millorar globalment.

Brilliant. I just bought an ebook I can't read because of DRM (Digital Rights Management) and after fiddling around for an hour, I am very close to getting a pirated version so I can finally read it.
Great stuff.

FTR, all I needed to start doing #Clojure on #FreeBSD was: pkg install leiningen.
It is *that* easy these days.

For comparison: I just spent about 2 hours doing chapter 1 of "Web Development with #Clojure Third Edition"'.
This involved me geeking out on all the various tools in between and... I can say I have a broad understanding of the system and a good intuition of its strengths and can already start hacking simple things.

#Haskell's bootstrapping reaaaaally needs to get better.

Every few months I keep coming back to https://haskell-miso.org and think "huh, this looks nice".
Then I spend an hour or so figuring out the tooling, end up giving up and archive it until next time I forget why I'm not using it.

Anyway, everyday is #SysAdminDay for all of those that I consider my #SysAdmins, thank you for your often-underappreciated-work.

Maybe for next year I should remind people ahead of time that #SysAdminDay is a thing.
But hey, nothing breaks, so nobody bothers me :-p, I'm fine with that too.

Ogni giorno interagisco con cinque o sei lingue naturali. Non sono capace d'immaginare la vita di un monolingue.
Una nuova lingua porta nuovi prospettivi, più cultura, più vita.

It was tested on #FreeBSD, #Linux support might require minor editing, do poke if that's an issue (also if it isn't and it works for you).

So, I got fed up with phabricator's UI for audits, if anyone has to do way too many audits and needs some streamlined batch auditing helper, this might be useful for you:

O.ô Upload Filter + diese Regelung mit Ziel: "[Verpflichtung aller Anbieter ihrer] Plattformen aktiv nach Bildern von Kindesmissbrauch zu durchsuchen", heißt doch AI trainieren und dafür **dementsprechende Datensätze haben**, oder?
Es klingt… Bescheuert.

Virtually all Spanish Media these days: "SUCCESS, VACCINE MOVES FORWARD!".
Me meanwhile: "nope, wrong framing, people will actually believe that risk is about to magically disappear".

This on the other hand, spot on (and not just for the U.S.):
