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

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.

2024-08-09 06:09:16

🎉 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

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

@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.

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

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 finished “The Bezzle” by Cory Doctorow.
The start was a bit slow and I didn’t know where it wanted to go, and then came the end a bit too fast and I don’t understand why one character didn’t act a bit differently.
But it was a good book and I couldn’t put it away until finished. 4/5 I’d say.

I find the term “enshittification” good but its evolution to use it for everything that is not good or became crap over time and its over-use is annoying.
