Sure I make fun of iTerm2 containing code to chatgpt and will likely continue doing so, but it’s opt-in so no reason for me to stop using the very good program.

Yet another #DNS draft: ZONEVERSION

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-zoneversion/

I actually like the idea of receiving the SOA serial (zone version) in a response. Makes certain debugs easier

Why do female ENT (ear, nose and throat) assistants invariably have feeble squeaky voices?!

They: ………—…—-…
Me: ARE YOU TALKING TO ME?
They: …..
Me: COULD YOU SPEAK UP PLEASE, I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU’RE SAYING WITHOUT MY HEARING AIDS!

Best is when I’m in a busy waiting room trying to catch the moment they squeak my name

First time in many years that I've shaved my face, and I didn't even draw blood!

Those of you who know me or have seen pictures know I've had a 1--3mm beard'ish for a long time.

I'm having my throat slit† open in surgery tomorrow morning for a complete removal of the thyroid gland so I thought I'd spare a nurse some trouble and take a stab at cleaning away the hair.

No thoughts and prayers please. I'll report back here if and/or when I survive

Forgive me, @mutax, but I just have to steal that:

the C in c.root-servers.net. stands for "caputt".

“Heute keine Kartenzahlung!” is a periodic reminder to me that there’ll always be cash to be had in Germany, and that’s a very fine thing.

One of the most awful terms American English has made popular in the world is 'guys'.

I (literally but won't use that term here) cringe when I hear South Americans, Europeans, Asians, etc. say "hi guys" when encountering or addressing a diverse group of people.

I've always wanted to ask but have never dared to. Now I'm feeling up to it.

Is there any way to swap / change icons of these output devices on macOS?

The Sennheiser are my headphones and the Soundcore is my speaker, but in the status bar they invariably have the wrong icon.

If you think it's easy to find a list of all German embassies in the world, think again. I'm fascinated by the slides of this talk of @ascherbaum where he shows maps and data on how pathetic the situation is.

Worth a glance.

Excellent service from #Anker:

I reported a defect SoundCore2 yesterday, and this morning I receive a message informing me a new replacement product is already en-route to me.

One of the features I miss most on this platform is the ability to simply format text. Something like a stripped down version of Markdown: I don't expect links (nor do I think they'd be valuable, maybe too dangerous), but code blocks with non-proportional font would really be something I'd use.

EDIT: ignore this, and thanks to Maxime for putting me right:

cat /dev/zero | :

completes immediately.

(Yschaef also said this, but I didn't get it.)

===============

Holy moly: TIL from @abimelechbeutelbilch that piping to colon ( |: ) in the shell is much faster than writing to the bit bucket ( > /dev/null ). Just tested.

This is in German, but you'll see the commands and times clearly: https://mastodon.social/@abimelechbeutelbilch@fulda.social/112435707590643241
