FU #uthoff and FU #ms
In spite of the heat (27 degree C) I could run quite a good pace (5:20/km for 8.4km) and I don’t get any side effects. That was different a couple of months ago. The training really helps! #running

2024-08-12 04:30:30

I got myself a #Garmin Forerunner 955 Solar to replace my Apple Watch because I tested one and it was so much better for running.
Now the sensor hub is crashing regularly which leads to different problems. Reading the forums it feels to be a problemm that is not that rare.

🎉 Yes! First time 5k in under 25 minutes and a PR in 10km with 51:34. So the 10k in under 50 minutes is close. And this was a progressive run. So it should be totally doable in a couple of weeks. Even though there will be a training break of 10 days. 🎉 #running

New record: I ran 183.31 km this month.
Also this month:
new PR in a half-marathon
new PR in 5km
And those were just training runs.
Next month it won’t be that much. Let’s see what the rest of the years brings.
4 races still to go :) #running

While I wailed some days ago that I don’t see a sub-50 10km possible at the beginning off September todays fartleg combined with my half-marathon on the weekend inspired me. It is completely possible. New PR in 5km, close to sub 25 and a PR in HM on the weekend in training runs. #running

According to #Twaiv I will be able to run 10km in under 50 minutes in 1.5 months. Somehow I stilll can’t imagine it. I had a hard time to run 5x 1km-intervals in under 5 minutes/interval with 200m slow jogs in between. #running

For some reason LibreOffice Impress always printed my A3-slide on A4 today in #Fedora. And when I tried to print the image directly it was also always on A4.
On #macOS it worked directly. I don’t understand why it didn’t work in #KDE even thoughh everything was set to A3 😔

I registered for my probably last race this year. The Berliner Nikolauslauf. I did the half-marathon there last year. This time I registered for the “Big 5” (26.8 km). 5 laps around d the Schlachtensee. It is a small run around a lake with a lot of wood. Only a couple of hundred of runners. #running

Yes, I know tmux and screen.
screen sucks, tmux is better - have it on all my systems. Locally I prefer zellij.
But that doesn’t really answer my question - why use job control at all nowadays?

2024-07-06 06:33:46

@npub1wpl…7d2c Yeah, tmux is on all of my systems and locally I run zellij these days. But why use job control then? Just an artifact of old times?

@npub1gpe…hw6p I usually use tmux or zellij these days. But why should I use then job control?

2024-07-06 06:27:01

Even though I am using Unix-like operating systems for decades but one thing I am still struggling with is job control.
I.e. I start a long running process with output like rsync -av in my terminal. I know about ctrl-z and bg. But output is not detached. What I want is sending also the output to the background and getting it to the foreground from time to time to check on the status.
I rarely have long running tasks without output, so I always wonder what to do with job control. #linux #bsd

Gerade habe ich das neue (Hör)Buch von Marc-Uwe Kling durchgehört: „Views“. Ein Thriller mit aktuellem Bezug, nichts für Kinder und ganz und gar unlustig; auch wenn es vielleicht ein paar kurze Lacher gibt. Ein wenig beängstigend.
Teils etwas vorhersehbar. Aber trotzdem empfehlenswert - 4/5.

@npub1wpl…7d2c If your users use the new Outlook which will replace Windows Mail you can’t block them.

2024-06-28 10:00:12

Don’t use “Outlook (new)” in #Windows 11. I just did a tcpdump and looked also at my #mail servers when setting up an account in there. The mail client only spoke with Microsoft-servers, never with my mail-servers and I saw on my mail-servers only connections from Microsoft-IPs.

I started training with a running group and everybody is way faster than me and can run longer. Second training and I ran far slower than everybody else and couldn’t do the whole the distance because this was already fast for me. I did my 3 fastest 400m-rounds, did a PR in 1km (it was 8x1km running, 200m slow - I had to quit after 5 times because I was at my limit).
I can’t yet decide if it is depressing or motivating. #running

Both of my sons really wanted to watch the soccer-game tonight.
One of them told me that he members know who he doesn’t like watching soccer: it is so boring.
The other ones got up after 30 minutes and went too bad. “This is just too boring and I am too tired.”
Definitely my kids.

I am reading currently Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjektiv-Brenyah. It is a great bookk, hard to put away, it sucks you in more and more. But is so depressing and it gets more depressing the further you read.
I can imagine that it would make a great movie but it might loose its message.

I saw today Dune Part 1 & 2 in the cinema. 1 was quite cool, 2 was ok. A bit confusing from time to timee and the time frame was too short.
The book where the story needs years to develop (according to the plot in the Wikipedia) makes more sense to be honest.
