Today's #techrant (well, one of them): the #DNS servers I run are configured to push an update in 15 minutes, and it works pretty well. How in Glub's name does it take #Wix 48 hours to do the same when they want you to do it like that?

Just updated my Android device, and received 25 weeks worth of notifications about which bin I should be putting out.

This isn't the future I was promised.

Waarom toch?

Oh boy: een #SQL script met een WHILE lus die loopt over alle id's uit een tabel ipv een simpele JOIN te gebruiken...

Canonical going public doesn't change things. I really don't see how this spells the end for Ubuntu. Like, you already put your faith in a business. What if Canonical shut it's doors tmw? You'd be in the same boat. Luckily it's still just Linux and there are tons of distros and other services to use. (I use Arch btw) #linux #ubuntu #techrant

It takes special education, skill, and experience to build software that is reliable, stable, performant, and safe. It amazes me how many engineers with long careers that have no clue about this. #techrant

So I needed to copy 256gb ssds data over to 2TB one and as I suspected dd was good enough for the job.

What I didn't consider was partitioning.
As it was 1:1 copy, 1.6tb was missing... See 1st pic

Turns out, windows disk manager applet is able of recognizing wrong data and has fixed it unprompted.
Then i moved the 30gb partition to the end of ssd in kde, to expand the C: partition.

Was kinda seamless all things considered.

#pulseaudio and #pipewire feel ages ahead of sound control on MacOS. I really cant set the per app volume in 2022? Need MacOS arm performance with Linux on top. #techrant

Ich sags' mal wie es ist: das ganze #LineageOS #FDroid #CyanogenMOD #anyothergooglefreeos etc... Geraffel ist doch einfach funktional kaputt. Oder einfach noch nicht da wo es sein koennte. Selbst mir als technikinteressierten Halbnerd ist noch nicht gelungen, solche Alternativen recht einfach zum laufen zu bringen. Wahrscheinlich bin ich dafuer zu dumm und/oder habe die falsche Hardware dafuer 🤷‍♂️
Bleibt wohl erstmal nur ne nette Spielerei fuer Wenige.
