Das war möglicherweise etwas unpräzise ausgedrückt von mir, aber genau was ich sagen wollte.

Unter dem Ausdruck Arbeitskleidung kann man viel verstehen, was nicht alles abdeckt sein muss. Solange das nicht bereits der Betriebsrat geklärt hat, müsste man das im Zweifel auch erst vor Gericht klären. Wenn also den Status quo bisher noch keiner angefochten hat - alle Kollegen ziehen sich in der Freizeit um - dann ist das im Zweifel nicht das stärkste Argument im Disput mit der Leitung.

Sicher sind absolute Aussagen auf Basis schwammiger Informationen deutlich hilfreicher, als ein kleiner Hinweis das es sich möglicherweise um eine Grauzone handeln könnte.

Ich kenn zwar deine genauen Umstände nicht, so weit ich weiß gilt der Regel mit der Umziehzeit nur für spezielle Arbeitskleidung, also sowas wie Sicherheitsshuhe oder Helm, was man außerhalb der Arbeit nicht tragen darf / möchte. Also je nach dem was für Arbeitskleidung du hast und was euer Betriebsrat dazu sagt gilt die Regel eventuell erstmal nicht oder nur für einen Teil der Kleidung. Ansprechen schadet sicher nicht, es ist nur nicht so offensichtlich wie das nutzen der Pause zum Schlafen.

Ouch, hope you can get that sorted out. A broken disk my also “deadlock” the system when binaries it tries to start are on that disk and no longer in cache, e.g. sshd or your shell.

In my experience when only ping sporadically works it’s an OOM issue, if the ssh login fails weirdly it can also be an I/O issue. If your network is working as expected obviously.

Look into earlyoom or systemd-oomd, the kernel out-of-memory killer will only start killing processes way after it should be. It will happily deadlock itself in a memory swap loop before considering killing any process.

There are a lot of other ways to fine tune the kernel to prevent this, but it’s a good starting point to prevent your system from freezing. Just keep in mind it will kill processes when memory is running out until enough memory is available.

You can use a git client to connect to SVN repo, which is really neat if you have to deal with a SVN repo. Therefore I would assume git has no issues with migrating the history from SVN.

Es scheint sich nur um die Auslandsverbindungen während der EM zu handeln:

Diese ist jedoch auf die Sommermonate Juni, Juli und August beschränkt. Betroffen sind fast alle internationale Fernverbindungen mit dem ICE, IC oder EC.

I got myself a vertical mouse and no longer grind down my wrist on the table. Definitely worth every penny.

I used to have the Microsoft Explorer mouse which is a bit larger, I used it for over 5 years per mouse. The old version is no longer available and the new one looked terrible, that got me into looking for alternatives in the first place.

But if you’re okay with the default mouse sizes and don’t have other issues they are fine too.

Überall diese merkwürdigen Zettel in meiner Handschrift. Es muss wohl auch ein größeres Loch sein, die haben die ganze Straße aufgerissen.

Good point, this could just misrepresentat the situation. I also haven’t looked over the mailing list thread and comments here are very salty.

But giving him the benefit of doubt of a nice potential contributer who just debugged a very hard issue and sending in a basic concept of a potential fix. I think it would be beneficial for their community to take the wish for more credit more serious and try to make him feel welcome. But I recognize it was probably hard to do in this case.

Overall I just wanted to recognize that I do see how he feels robbed of his contribution. It reminded me that I also had an experience with the kernel developers that made me not want to contribute again.

I didn’t meant to defend the patch and I see your point. But I personally think that it’s not unreasonable to expect to land a bugfix commit after spending multiple days debugging a complex issue, that’s why understand that he feels robbed of a kernel contribution.

I don’t know what could have been a good solution for this scenario. But taking potential future contributors feelings more serious would help to keep them around and make them feel appreciated.

That’s what I meant, using your shell to run command line tools to solve your issue at hand. And having a powerful shell with e.g. context dependend autocomplete (and a lot more) helps to speed up that task.

As someone who had a mildly unpleasant interaction with kernel folks, I can totally understand the issue.

This is one of the very few open source projects I had the feeling they don’t appreciate new contributers. There is no on boarding material available and picking the wrong subproject mailing list results in being ignored. You have to spend days without any possibility of help and if your are lucky you get mentioned as a reporter. For the next issue you start from square one as there was no guidance, so you could only learn the bare minimum.

So yeah, his patch may be underwhelming. But the help and credit he got for days or weeks of unpaid work was basically nothing. You may be okay with spending days and only getting credits for the bug report, but I suspect many aren’t and will not contribute again after such an experience. And post like this try to point out the issue they have and why many people won’t contribute to the kernel ever again.

You can do most things by combining simple cmdline tools. E.g. filter out some specific lines from all files in a directory, get the value after the second :, write those to another file and then sort, deduplicate and count them.

This may sound complicated, but it’s pretty easy and fast if your are familiar with a shell. To be that efficient with your shell you want it to actually be powerful and not just a plain text input. Also writing cmdline tools is rather easy compared to a usable GUI tool.

Some (larger) projects sometimes have a form of mentoring and “good first issue” to get started.

Another good way to get involved is to report any issues you face with open source projects you use (obviously search for similar reports first). This way you can help debug bugs or suggest improvements and get some feedback.

Notifications auf Android nutzen häufig einen Google Service. Damit sind alle Notifications von verschiedenen Apps gebündelt und das Smartphone braucht nur eine aktive Verbindung (spart Strom). Je nach implementierung kommt da nur ein “Es gibt was neues” an und die App fragt dann die eigentliche Notification an.

Das zwingend zu nutzen ist natürlich für eine privacy fokusierte Chat App fraglich, wobei der Signal CEO(?) einige fragliche Meinungen hat. Dafür hat er eine erstklassige Chat App gebaut und großflächig verbreitet.

Yeah you’re right, looks like I’ve mixed up something.

At least in Germany that’s the case.

Every contract is legally binding in Germany, even verbal contracts or in this case price tags (to some degree). Obviously other laws may invalidate them and verbally is hard to prove. For example if you advertise onetime off prices for a week to lure people in the store you have to have a reasonable amount of these items to be available through the week, otherwise people are eligible to get the offer or compensation.

Adding your own sticker would probably be fraud and easy to prove for the store (not matching sticker, no plans to reduce prices, …).
