@bender Yes, but my description is more accurate 🤣

@prologic ah, yes, the classical “fuck work!” in its verbose form. 😅😂

@movq Und da konnte ich nicht widerstehen und hab die Folge doch sogleich angehört. Herrlich, sehr kurzweilig, spannend und lehrreich. In der Tat ganz schön viele Arschgesichter, hihihi. ;-)

@movq Oh, cool! Holgi hab ich schon jahrelang nimmer gehört (allgemein Podcasts), das sollte ich schleunigst wieder ändern. Diese Folge scheint mir als Wiedereinstieg nach dem arbeitsreichen Wochenende bestens geeignet. Insbesondere die „Holgi ruft an“-Reihe hab ich in sehr guter Erinnerung.

@movq that https://namecensus.com/ is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing.

Ganz schön viele Arschgesichter hier: https://uebermedien.de/116944/

@bender @movq Haha, nice. Yeah, I also only know older Giselas. Not sure why that name fell out of fashion this dramatically, though. Be that as it may, this hot greenfinch girl will help to repopularize it again!

@prologic Cheers 🤪

@prologic Yeah, almost everybody sells their soul to some form of devil. So did I. :-D

@bender I misread that sentence and thought that your first crush was called Gisela, and was like “wait, he’s not that old”.

Turns out, Gisela is a much younger name than I thought:

https://namecensus.com/first-names/gisela-meaning-and-history/

A peak in the late 1970is and late 1990ies? What?

But then it turned out that, in Germany, the popularity dropped rapidly in the late 1950ies, which actually matches my expectations:

In other words, some other countries picked up the name Gisela after it had already faded away in Germany.

What a fun rabbit hole. 😅

@lyse love the name! That’s the name of one my childhood first crush’s mum. LOL. And now she is a lovely bird! :-)

@bender Thank you. I just got very lucky, though. Anyway, let me introduce you to Gisela. :-)

@lyse your wildlife photography is getting much better! Got to name them, what do you think? Too early? :-)

@lyse Ouch. 🤔

@movq @bender Yeah, super sweet. :-) I was lucky to capture this beautie again today: https://lyse.isobeef.org/gruenfink-2026-05-06/

@movq Right, they messed up the signing key rotation: https://blog.denic.de/technische-storung-bei-de-domains-behoben/

@lyse green or not, it is lovely. So effortlessly perked at the top of the tree! Ah, if only we could see the world as birds do…! <3

@lyse Isn’t that a cutie! 😍

@lyse Yep, this was a big oopsie at DENIC:

• https://blog.denic.de/denic-informiert-uber-storung-im-dnssec-fur-de-domains/
  
• https://blog.denic.de/denic-informiert-uber-die-behebung-der-dnssec-storung-fur-de-domains/

@lyse movq.de took ages to come up, but it finally did. Weird.

All sorts of .de domains don’t resolve right now. But not all, movq.de for example still works. All on our server and basically all major other sites are cactus. Maybe some DENIC problem? I’m too tired to investigate, but I’m looking forward to tomorrow to read some report on that. :-) Good night.

@bender Let me offer some cheese to @xuu. :-)

This greenfinch isn’t all that green: https://lyse.isobeef.org/gruenfink-2026-05-02/01.jpg

@movq I see, thank you. Maybe I remember next time. :-)

@prologic Aww, this is beautiful! Too many people for me, but they’re cetainly great to show the scale. Quite some impressive falls. :-)

@bender It’s been a while (6.5 years) since I’ve done this. I’d do it like this:

• Boot some Linux from a USB stick on the new machine. Preferably Arch Linux, since that is what I’m running and that’ll make the upcoming chroot easier.
  
• Partition the new disk, create LUKS devices, filesystems, …
  
• Mount the new filesystems and copy all data (user data and the system itself – everything). Do this either over the network or by hooking up the old disk directly.
  
• chroot into the new system (Arch has an arch-chroot tool for that which is used during normal installation, if I’m not mistaken). Inside the chroot, install the bootloader.
  
• Do some fixups, like adjusting /etc/fstab or /etc/crypttab.
  

And I think that should be it. 🤔

@bender I believe it’s been money well spent if I’m to be honest. It’s a great “get away” and “adventure” for not just myself but the family too. Getting away from it all, experiencing nature and what this wonderful country has to offer is pretty nice 👍 As long as we keep up the adventures over the long time, use it several times a year, it will be very well wroth the investment 👌

Hey, @xuu, mouse, where are thou? Silent these days, way too silent.

@movq I would love to read a more detailed account on these moves. When you write moved, you mean user data, correct?

@itsericwoodward is there a Gamer Master, or Dungeon Master in Magic? My kid plays DnD, and such person is decisive for many outcomes, and for the quality of the game in general.

Congratulations! :-)

@prologic nice! Looks like a great place to be. I wouldn’t mind, just about now! How is the camper behaving? Got all your money worth already? Based on your light participation around here I am tempted to say yes. :-D

On the weekend just gone we also visited Twin Falls, which was absolutely magnificent!

My first game of Magic ended with a truly EPIC TURN yesterday…

It was a 5-player game, and I was running my (unpublished) Superfriends deck (mostly Planeswalkers and counter manipulators). After some ups and downs, I was able to pop the ultimate abilities on a handful of PWs all on a single turn, pumping my Bioessence Hydra to 110/110 (!) before tapping it twice to kill 2 opponents, and then following that by destroying all of the lands of a 3rd opponent and stealing all of the creatures from the 4th, at which point the survivors decided to quit. As I said, EPIC TURN!

Game 2 ran long, so I dropped out. But that first game…

@lyse These days (and it’s been like that for a while), almost everything is loaded on-demand depending on which hardware the OS finds, so you can simply copy all your files with cp -a, install a bootloader, adjust some minor things /etc/fstab, done. Well, maybe not “done”, but it’s easy to sort out the remaining stuff afterwards.

I’ve moved the Arch installation at work from a stationary Dell workstation to an Acer laptop to a Lenovo Carbon laptop to a Tuxedo laptop to a Lenovo Thinkpad. 😅

Yeah, the keyboard of the netbook isn’t all that great, but I have to say that I absolutely love netbooks. And I hate that they got replaced by tablets and smartphones. A netbook is a normal PC, just very small and super easy to carry around – that’s brilliant!

@movq Oh, nice! I never was brave enough to try to move the OS to a different machine, always reinstalled from scratch. :-S

A mate also had this or a very similar white Samsung netbook. I remember typing on that thing was no fun at all for me, never hit the single right key. :-D

I’m not a fan of netbooks, there’s not remotely enough screen space for my taste. I always had 15 inch notebook. Sure, they are way heavier, but I can actually get work with them done. And yes, glared screens are an invention right from the devil himself. Completely stupid.

@movq It’s a way much cleaner design. Not so overloaded anymore.

@lyse Turns out, this actually was a little machine once (small netbook): https://movq.de/blog/postings/2011-04-28/0/POSTING-de.html And then I moved the whole installation to a different laptop later. I love that you can easily do that on Linux.

I like the new GitHub:

https://movq.de/v/759e156e73/gh.png

@movq Happy birthday, little machine!

@prologic @bender @movq Hahaha, I didn’t expect that name either. :-D And it’s actually a cave, too.

@prologic Oh, lol, it’s literally called that: https://www.queensland.com/au/en/places-to-see/experiences/nature-and-wildlife/everything-to-know-about-natural-bridge 😂

Just missed the 15th anniversary of the Linux installation on my laptop:

$ head -n 1 /var/log/pacman.log
[2011-04-27 11:38] installed filesystem (2011.04-1)

@kiwu Dang it! I first thought it was jitters due to your exams. Hang in there!

@bender Natural Brisge lol 🤣

@prologic Oh yeah, very beautiful! I can hear the roaring of the waterfall and like to be there, too. The first shot makes it look like you’re in the middle of a cave. :-)

@thecanine Very cute. :-)

Looks very nice and fresh. What’s the name of the place?

@kiwu 😩😩😩

Natural Bridge
