  • I still made the mistake, when I sleep deprived switched if and of somehow
    My then girlfriend wasn’t exactly happy, that all here photos and music, which we just moved off old CDs, that couldn’t be read correctly anymore, and I spent quite some time to finally move them

    Obviously the old CDs and the backup image were thrown out/deleted just a few days earlier, because I proudly had saved the bulk of it - and being poor students having loads of storage for multiple backups wasn’t in reach.
    Backing them up again to fresh CDs was on the plan, but I quickly needed a live USB stick to restore my work laptop…

    Since then I’m always anxious, when working with dd. Still years later I triple check and already think through my backup restoration plan
    Which is a good thing in itself, but my heart rate spikes can’t be healthy








  • Holy fuck is business insider unreadable - without blocking their shitty scroll-up popup thingy

    Currently I just switch to text mode/reader thing in Firefox

    But boah, is that thing nerve-wracking
    How could anyone think, that this bullshit would lead me to buy a subscription?

    Sorry for the off-topic rant, but that shit really hits a nerve
    Is my good old internet really gone to shit and the only way to get real information is through Gemini/Gopher?
    And while I’m on it: are there any search engines for that?
    I tried to build up some link lists/bookmarks for stuff I’m interested, but would be really cool to have a search engine for it - as there one existing I don’t know about, or do I use it wrong?



  • Well, that’s how I usually do my estimations on software projects.

    If I’d go through the work to make an exact estimation, most of the work would already be done - and then I still wouldn’t be 100% sure, that the approach works, until it’s tested

    So, I kinda eyeball what I’ll need to analyse the problem, create a concept, implement and test it - and leave some spare room for getting back to step 1.
