And it runs and runs and runs…

In the style of an old German Car-Spot, one often needs to make sure that a process get’s restarted as soon as it quits due to some errors.

[Update1] Gitosis under Debian Wheezy

The last week, I managed to switch over to gitolite. It works like charm without any evil hack, does what it should do, but I don’t think the transfer is as easy as stated. The easiest way was to

  1. move all git-repos /somewhere/
  2. completely uninstall gitosis
  3. install and configure gitolite as stated on their homepage using glsetup
  4. move the repos back into gitolite’s “$GIT”-directory

Some months ago, a friend of mine showed me gitosis, a collection of scripts that provide an easy-to-configure git-server. By that time, there was an almost ready-to-use-.deb in debian/squeeze. But with migration to Wheezy, gitosis broke.

“alias” and bash autocomplete

It’s a common problem: All the “good” names for complex programms are already in use, so you end up with some long programm name like “systemctl”, which furthermore has lots of options that you really need, but usually you may either define an alias like “sctl” (then you would need to remember and type out all options) OR use bash’s autocomplete-feature (but type the full programm-name everytime).

Python Fill-Name

I don’t know how you handle it, but if I have a directory of numbered files, I would like them all to have equal length, for that “ls” and autocomplete will show them in appropriate order, but yet I don’t want all the files to consist of let’s say a dozen chars, when five ones would be enough.

Printmedien die Zweite

Auf Twitter bin ich über einen weiteren, wunderschönen – und leider vollkommen wahren – Blogpost über Printmedien gestoßen, der meine eigene Meinung exakt auf den Punkt bringt und mit Handlungsanweisungen verbindet:

Zeitungssterben: Meine (sprichwörtlichen) 5 Cent | G! gutjahrs Blog

Meine absolute Leseempfehlung!

Bekloppte Werbung

In letzter Zeit habe ich abends gelegentlich mal wieder ferngesehn. Mal ganz ehrlich war Werbung schon immer so inkonsistent und dämlich? Zwei Exemplare haben es mir besonders angetan:

Beinahe hätten wir (und wir sind immerhin zu 50 % Studenten) es vergessen:

Es ist Open Access Week!

Gedanken zu Printmedien

Hinweis: Dieser Artikel stellt eine Individuelle Einschätzung dar und repräsentiert nicht die Meinung von F3L!

Die aktuellen Diskussionen um ein “Leistungsschutzrecht” (bzw. “Lex Google”) sprechen eine eindeutige Sprache: Die Einnahmen und Rücklagen der großen Zeitungsverlage schrumpfen, Schuld ist das Internet.

GEMA / Saturn

Dieses Fundstück stammt aus dem Saturn-Markt in Erlangen.

Es handelt sich zwar “nur” um Klassik, aber das macht doch Hoffnung für die Zukunft!?

Bandcamp & Piracy

Hey Folks,

today, I had a short look at some bandcamp.com subpage (in fact: The Terror Pigeon Dance Revolt, as they will play on Waldstock this year), of course only due to some basic technical thoughts, when I found this in the section of the player’s JavaScript:
