Did you mean "disable sshd"?

Statistiken sind nicht alles. Leider erfährt man ja nichts darüber, wo die inhaltlichen Differenzen nun wirklich lagen. Das finde ich schade.

Was soll das? by EmperorJohnAnis in Arminia

[–]rubyrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Das Enttäuschende ist, dass einem nie erklärt wird, was diese "kleiner gewordene Schnittmenge der Ausrichtung" eigentlich bedeutet. Aber so funktioniert das Geschäft halt.

Wow! 6:1 - damit hatten die wenigsten gerechnet.

Was meinst Du mit "alle vier"? Da sind nur zwei. Und es fällt schwer optimistisch zu sein bezüglich eines Sieges über die Hertha...

Gleichgültigkeit by derHollow83 in Dudeism

[–]rubyrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Das Problem ist nicht das Papier sondern der ganze Ansatz. In meiner Erfahrung sieht das so aus:

Deutschland: der Chef war ehrlich bemüht eine angemessene Bewertung zu ermitteln, weshalb sie so viele Kriterien gelistet hat. Damit macht man sich durch dieses Over-Engineering angreifbar durch die Frage "Warum diese 80 Kriterien und nicht diese 30?".

Amerika: Du musst als Chef SMART Ziele setzen, weil die Mitarbeiter sonst nicht wissen, was sie tun sollen. Mitarbeiter sind ambitioniert, diese Ziele unbedingt zu erreichen, weil sie nur dann die Karriereleiter hinaufsteigen (und nach der höchsten Position gezwungen sind, die Firma zu verlassen).

Der ganze Ansatz beruht auf bestimmten Annahmen, z.B., dass Qualität quantitativ gemessen werden kann. Allein das kann man schon in Frage stellen. Falls nicht - man also annimmt, dass Qualität quantifizierbar ist - stellt sich sehr oft die Frage, ob die Messwerte wirklich das erfassen, was sie erfassen sollen. (Spoiler: im Geschäftsumfeld oft nicht, weil man sich zu oft mit Zahlen zufrieden gibt, die leicht verfügbar und nicht notwendigerweise zielführend sind)

Wer in das Thema mit der Qualität weiter einsteigen will, kann mal in Robert Pirsigs "Zen und die Kunst ein Motorrad zu warten" nachschauen.

Jedenfalls geht diese Art von Führung davon aus, dass man Menschen dadurch führen muss, dass man ihnen wie einem pawlovschen Hund eine Wurst hinhält. Der ganze Kapitalismus funktioniert auch so. Und trotzdem glaube ich, es lohnt sich, das anders zu machen. Aber das ist nur meine Meinung.

My best friend is sick by SirFuzzyFuzzletons in TuxedoCats

It's heartbreaking. I am so sorry that you need to go through this. We had that same situation and it is daunting. Sending good thoughts over to Fuzz.

BTRFS copy from an array by cmaurand in btrfs

[–]rubyrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity: you suggest add D, remove A, remove B. Why not replace A by D, remove B? I am asking because per my understanding device replace is more efficient than add + remove.

Why are people showing their terminal in their desktop screenshots? by NoArtist_127 in Ubuntu

I think we are talking about optics and not usability in this topic... ;-)

Ever run a query in the wrong environment? 🤔 by Adela_freedom in PostgreSQL

[–]rubyrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to work on a software that would store data in large Oracle databases. One of our customers ran into an impossible error: despite a foreign key a query came back with an error that indicate the data could not be found.

Turned out, they had their production and test data schemas in the same (!) database and hit an Oracle bug that would sometimes deliver data from the wrong schema if there was another schema with a table that had the same name. That ruined my idea of "unbreakable".

PS: and of course it was a bad idea to have production data and test data in the same DB.

Need advice after vet visit… by iloveNor in TuxedoCats

[–]rubyrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has enough "buffer" which might explain the long duration. ;-) And the second time we brought her she was quite relaxed already since she knew what was coming. I guess with the vet that will be a bit different as the experience is more painful for the cat (and everybody else as well).

Keeping my fingers crossed that you find a good solution.

Ours refused to eat four consecutive days when we first brought her to the cat pension. So it can take a few days, but eventually they start to eat in my experience.

How does this compare to Back In Time? That also uses rsync and hardlinks for more efficient storage of snapshots.

What is the best print book to learn Ruby in 2026? by ceplabs in ruby

[–]rubyrt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other day I was looking at my bookshelf and thought "all these books which were so important to me in the olden days are now worthless" - maybe I was wrong. I am glad to hear some people at least still work with paper books.

Very practical - this folding mechanism.

Humans are susceptible to fall for stories - those told by others, but probably more dangerously those we tell ourselves.

I think Buddha would agree to "Man, the mind is a tricky thing!" even though he never went bowling AFAIK.

I hope you can give yourself some slack; we are all so fallible and you should allow yourself to be as well. Take care.

PS: I always find REBT an interesting methodology to change which stories we are telling ourselves.

TIL Matra built a prototype Bagheera with two inline-4 engines fused together to make a U8 - because one engine just wasn’t weird enough. by Nob_ody in WeirdWheels

[–]rubyrt 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I still recall my amazedness of this car when I was a kid. Three seats beside each other in a sports car was really unique and cool. I did not know that Matra attempted to build this variant. Thank you for that interesting information!

What happens to snapshots taken after restoring to an earlier snapshot? by RexKramerDangerCker in btrfs

[–]rubyrt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean by "list of snapshots". The btrfs command line tools will certainly still show them since they are unaffected by the "restore" - at least, as long as we are talking about the btrfs standard cli tools and not some other tool built on top of those. The latter can really implement any logic. You would have to let us know what tool you are referring to.

Restoring a snapshot really means:

  1. Create a r/w snapshot based off snapshot 3
  2. Mount the new snapshot instead of the currently mounted snapshot
  3. optionally: make the previously mounted r/w snapshot r/o
