mk Grumble rumble

Got my new phone and installed the most important things that do not require transferring data from my old phone - but I'm having trouble suddenly getting used to Android 6.0 (plus I picked up a newer version of ADW Launcher which also takes some getting used to. Unfortunately, my favorite alarm app Timely consistently crashes on launch so I had to find another alarm clock. Now I need to find a way to transfer apps and data from my old phone in a way that takes the least amount of juice (if I can manage to even charge it!). !grrr

Bedtime - after a day filled with lots of confusion and (only a little) progress. !grrr I really must sort out my database backup #tomorrow! Good night !tzaf !fediverse !tempfix

mk Time Zone Appropriate Greetings , the federated universe , Grumble rumble , tempfix

Good morning !tzag !fediverse !tempfix. It's a light grey autumn day outside, trees are gradually losing more leaves (some of which flutter into my garden...) Also, I have a slight headache, part of the 'hangover' from the three-day allergy attack (which by now is actually not 100% over, !grrr)

Another problem: I started to use my "spare" mouse with #Tine. At first it was fine, but now it's starting to behave erratically again (which is what made me replace it on Dennis). now I wonder if it could be having interference from Wifi... Guess I'll have to go shopping for another #mouse. Again. !grrr

@miradlo @einebiene "komische Feministinnen" - tscha, ich habe bemerkt dass ich den letzten Jahren wieder immer mehr feministisch werde. Ich war das ein mal, und bekomme das jetzt wieder - das hat bestimmt auch mit diese Sache von Wahl zu tun, aber das is nicht alles. Was noch? Das weis ich nicht so genau, aber ich mich mehr bewusst von Sachen die wir ja schon "bekämpft" haben aber wider verschwunden sind. (Oja - sogar die Farben von Socken sind falsch: schwarz mit rot gibts nur in Männergrössen, für Frauen gibt es nur Farben die ich *nicht* trage, obwohl schwartz un rot noch immer modisch sind. !grrr)

!grrr - Support for IPv6 is still wide and far between. Most Dynamic DNS hosts I'm trying are either not supporting it at all, or depending on an external script - looking at a Perl script now that needs a module not on my laptop. Since I'll eventually need to run this on the NAS, that isn't very hopeful. There's still hope, but this is taking far too log and it's far too complicated to do something that by now *should* be simple! #ipv6 #perl #networking #dns

I'm *very* unhappy with DuckDuckGo right now. Already as soon as they switched to Yahoo! "technology" I noticed an increase in irrelevant results - before, DDG was preferable for its relevant search results only. Today I did a search for [tiny VPS in Netherlands] (remove []), and on the first page alone I get two sex-related "results", one for an eye-care company ('VSP') and one for breadcrumbs at Amazon. WTF? The "VSP" might have been a typo in the page but I checked the code and "VPS" does not occur one single time. I'm used to DDG being far more to-the-point - I wish they'd go back to Yandex! !grrr #search Does anyone have suggestion for a better search engine? (NOT Google, that shows even more irrelevant cr**)

Good morning !tzag !fediverse !tempfix - slurping my first (hot!) !coffee of the day... let's see how my new domain is doing... stil 'unknown host' and NXDOMAIN! !grrr

Aaaarghghhhh! My whole email setup turns out to be a LOT more complicated than I remembered. I set things up (maybe) 'cleverly', and it all works. But now I've klet some domains expire, and I will need to demolish at least part of this whole 'building' - and of course before I can do that I have to understand again what, exactly I did, and why. Call it a good exercise, and I do want to simplify things (preferably without increasing spam load, of course) but I'm not happy. Anyway, it will have to be done: document, analyse, deconstruct, reconstruct (but simpler)... !grrr #email

mk Grumble rumble

Struggling to get all my email aliases and forwarding sorted out. Making progres, but it's far more work than I anticipated. (No, you cannot just remove an address that's the backup contact address without first assigning another address for that function - in a Google user interface that's so cryptic I still cannot use it after struggling through it a first time. Google is really brilliant in making user interfaces that make sense only to them - and then change them around every few months (i.e. just about when you figure out how to navigate it - so I have to keep updating my notes in KeePass on how to use it this time... !grrr ) And I really, really wish I could add notes to email aliases so I'll remember later wth it was supposed to be used for. NOT fun - but I promised myself I'd finish this before started on the funner jobs :-/

!grrr I need a new mouse - two, in fact. It appears my current ones' electronices is still ok, but mechanically they are problematic, like no 'click' feel when I click, the pushbutton for teh battery compartment gets stuck, and both seem to 'eat' batteries (or rather, battery charges). And of course the two handy local practically-round-the-corner computer & electronics stores have disappeared. :( I'll have to go out #mousehunting #tomorrow. And a new fast battery charger is needed, too - two slots seem to be faulty. Giving up for today... I'm going to solve jigsaw puzzles on my phone ;-)

#https I'm using the "https everywhere" extension in Firefox. I just discovered a major logical flaw in it: sometimes a page jus isn't available as https, and you can change the protocol manually (back) to http. So far so good. But when you do this, it still attempts to load resources (such as scripts) via https - while you can pretty much expect they won't be available under https either - after all the main page wasn't written to support it. Result: a page that misbehaves badly because essential scripts (silently) don't load. !grrr It took me way too long to figure this out! For now I'll leave the extension disabled, for some sites I frequent this is just too disruptive. In addition, the extension cannot be configured to allow/disallow http for specific urls - another weakness. #logicalbug

!grrr I keep forgetting how to mount an sshfs on my NAS (and where I've written this up) :(

mk Grumble rumble , Today I Learned...

No wonder I was getting confused before researching RAID boxes - one brand is bad enough to have a spec for the '9528 series' only, not for separate models within the series, which are all indicated with a single code. The leaflet may say a led is for 'eSATA activity' but it has no LED, another has such a LED but no eSATA connection either. These are all minor differences one misses on scanning a page, but highly significant if 'eSATA' is actually what you're looking for. !TIL what's on the photos is what you get - no eSATA - not what it says in the spec. !grrr Small differences in specs are normal, but a single spec applying to a range of boxes with different functionalities is not! Advice: DO NOT buy 'ORICO'.

mk Grumble rumble , chalkahlom

@chalkahlom are you saying you don't need the !grrr group anymore? I do not even know what the "1-1" refers to (nor do I want to know). Maybe you should join the group anyway so it's ready for you to use when you do need it. :p

!grrr I keep falling asleep at my desk, sometimes even scrolling down a page while sleeping :-/ maybe a little more time in my #hammock...

mk Grumble rumble

Curiously, trying to troubleshoot Darktable's grumbles about not being able to find the 'fglrx' module (though starting and working just fine), I finally found the cause of getting a 'hang' (black screen)if I boot with the latest (or even recent) kernels. BOTH problems seem to go back to an incompatibility between 'fglrx' (which is the ATI/AMD driver for my graphics card) and XORG (and/or the latest Debian kernels). --- I'll leave that be until I have actually got a new RAID station and (maybe...) do a fresh install of Debian. Essentially, this all goes back to when my NVIDIA card failed (under warranty) and that model no longer existed, so they gave me an equivalent ATI replacement card. !grrr!
