Clearly, a 50-minute transfer window is not enough to catch a train connection in Düsseldorf. Not even if the connecting train is also delayed by 15 minutes. #sigh #DBDelay
Adding printer in gnome via cups on localhost:631... because... that's the only working option.. #sigh

Why in the world does Evince (the default PDF viewer on Ubuntu) not have a fullscreen mode that does away with the obnoxious client-side titlebar to let you actually maximize viewable area?

Or is this just me being punished for not using the default Window Manager or some weird Gnome Nonsense?

Yes, I know it hides the titlebar in "presentation mode", but it then also disables any zoom other than "full page", so that's just differently obnoxious.

edit: Atril appears to get the job done.

That’ll teach me to #pushtoprodfriday — woke up to a corrupted #email database. Luckily it was my replica so no data was lost. However, the issue currupted most of my PITR lineage, so I need to wipe and reseed. #sigh #selfhosting.
Today in what-on-earth-is-wrong-with-people I spied, at my local K-mart, a set of large nail clippers, ripped from their packet and taken for a test drive. #Sigh

I think it illustrates the #GOP priorities pretty clearly #sigh

The Guardian

Erschreckend, wie sich CDU/CSU und SPD immer mehr wie Republikaner in den USA verhalten – womit sie die Politikverdrossenheit noch weiter steigern und noch mehr Leute in die Arme der #noAFD treiben. #sigh

Sondervermögen wird laut Studien zweckentfremdet

Vor einem Jahr verabschiedete der Bundestag das sogenannte Sondervermögen. Zwölf Monate später bemängeln Forschende: Nur ein kleiner Teil des Geldes fließe in Infrastruktur und Klimaschutzmaßnahmen. Die Union weist die Kritik zurück.
