Ich kenne hier doch chaosnahe Leute aus Weimar, oder? Pingt mal bitte.

@s21 @distel Yeah, no, comparing my problems to other people's never helped me, but thank you for the sentiment.

@daniel_bohrer Wow, thank you! As I've been offered other ebooks already, I probably won't take you up on it, but your offer is very much appreciated! (Have you thought about hacking it to be an information display at home? I know lots of people who did that. That's what I planned to do with mine once I got a new one, and seems like a relaxed, nice little project.)

@danimo @MarkusMitF @mutax byro ist derzeit, dank @henryk, eigentlich doch schon ein Buchhaltungstool. Es fehlen aber noch die netten Hilfen, um einen Kontenrahmen richtig zu bedienen, Lastschriften komplett zu automatisieren usw.

Glücklicherweise ist all das nicht nur geplant, sondern in Arbeit – in vier Wochen haben wir ein Geekend in Berlin (weitere Interessierte sind natürlich willkommen!), wo wir planen, das hinreichend fertig zu bauen.

@holger Right, that was so annoying about the first book for me.

The second didn't have that as much, but it was just … lacking in action in many regards, for my feeling. Felt pretty trippy, not in a good way. I liked that I liked absolutely none of the characters, not many books manage that. But the extremeness of Herbert's "tell don't show" probably will never make me find a good way to read this series. It's his narration style, but it bugs the hell out of me.

@holger @JordiGH Wow, how is Baron Harkonnen not evil? Like, Herbert even made him a gay pedophile who's into torture. (I haven't quite forgiven that.) Second volume people were more ambiguous, but also didn't really do anything most of the time. Much Hamlet, except with more "I can see the future so I best waffle about it"

@JordiGH THe storytelling is very unusual in style and gets more and more weirdly mystic? Little happens, it felt all very unrelatable. There are Evil people for the sake of being evil. The worldbuilding is good, but the characters terribly flat. Just not my pot of tea.

@simon_brooke Didn't even enjoy the first one all that much, so I'll probably stop here.

Oh boy oh boy. Did you know that password protected SSH keys regularly store the password hash as md5sum? (Except for ED25519 keys). Well, I didn't.

If your private key starts with something like

Proc-Type: 4,ENCRYPTED
DEK-Info: AES-128-CBC,CB973D5520E952B8D5A6B86716C6223F

yeah, that's the kind. You can re-key though by running

ssh-keygen -o -p -f .ssh/my_private_key

@halfur I didn't enjoy Dune either. Great world building, but predictable story and one dimensional characters, and True Evil. Meh.

@MacLemon Oops, I should rethink my boost frequency.

@naga oh eww

Just finished Dune Messiah, and, just,... No. This is not for me. #amreading

@bjoern The joy of arch Linux - we have a package for it.

Ok, so there is a GTK client for Mastodon, and while it's not great yet, it might get there some time? It's called 'tootle' (https://github.com/bleakgrey/tootle), and it's nice to see something non-Electron-y around.
