Unlike SourceTree for Windows, SourceTree for Mac still doesn’t automagically detect Beyond Compare even though that has been available for Mac OS X since : [SRCTREE-2092] Add built-in support for Beyond Compare version 4 – Atlassian JIRA.
Even modifying my ~/.gitconfig didn’t work, but manual configuration did. Here are the steps:

Merry X-mas sorting out your cables (:
Some interesting links that all come down to: make sure your USB-C cable is compliant before you start really using it.
you cannot be sure that cables Benson tested good are always good. Trust me, it happened to me. Knowing the ASINs/EANs of good cables, I went into local stores and bought a number of presumably good cables. Know what? They were bad. Might be that vendors recently changed their cables and there are still batches of bad ones out there, still with the same ASIN/EAN codes. So just be careful!
and
Having a weaker than 3A charger is actually a risk factor because the device being charged will always try to charge at 3 and if the older adapter can’t handle 3A, that is when it might be

Close to X-mas, so doing some dreaming of unaffordable things (:
In august, this 2.5 device was sort of announced: PM1633a: a Samsumg 16TB (nah: 15.36TB) SSD.
No news ever since, so I wonder when will they get to the market and how much they would cost.
Just like I’m wondering about a Retina MacBook Pro with 2TB of SSD storage and more than 32 GB RAM (:

IBM/Lenovo stopped producing ThinkPad UltraNav keyboards with 7 rows of keys a while ago. It stopped me from buying ThinkPad machines (together with the screen issues), but I still use the external USB UltraNav keyboards which are harder and harder to get.
So here some SKU/FRU/PN/EAN that seem to have a horizontal enter key and US layout.

The only reliable way to create a remote print-screen is by using the Windows On-Screen Keyboard. It even works with Alt-Prt+Sc to make screenshots of individual Windows.
Just run OSK to start the On-Screen Keyboard.

VPN mit der FritzBox :: network lab has a nice walk through on how to set up non LAN-LAN VPN connections with Fritz!Box.
But the really cool thing is that they have a table of IKE (Internet Key Exchange) error messages.
Until now, I mainly had these errors, which thanks to the table now have a description:
Better than
Note: both are within the public IP range, so not in the ranges mentioned here: Identifying the address range of the IPv4 address for the Internet connection | FRITZ!Box 7390 | AVM International.
Maybe I should just use the Windows tools to setup the config: MarkusKirschmann.de – Blog » IKE-Error Ox1c.

Tibco is very powerful and can do all sorts of casting.
For my memory (formatted for readability; there are more details at OpenPGM Concepts : Transport):
The network parameter consists of up to three parts, separated by semicolons—network, multicast groups, send address—as in these examples:
Example Meaning lan0 network only lan0;225.1.1.1 one multicast group lan0;225.1.1.1,225.1.1.5;225.1.1.6 two multicast groups, send address lan0;;225.1.1.6 no multicast group, send address The format is like this:
partOne;partTwo;partThreeand some bits are optional
partOne[;[partTwo][;[partThree]]]Part one identifies the network, which you can specify in several ways: – Host name, Host IP address, Network name, Network IP number, Interface name, Default TRDP daemons use the network interface which corresponds to the hostname of the system as determined by the C function gethostname(). PGM daemons use the default PGM multicast interface, 224.0.1.78.
Part Two—Multicast Groups – Part two is a list of zero or more multicast groups to join, specified as IP addresses, separated by commas. Each address in part two must denote a valid multicast address. Joining a multicast group enables listeners on the resulting transport to receive data sent to that multicast group.
Part Three—Send Address, Part three is a single send address. When a program sends multicast data on the resulting transport, it is sent to this address. (Point-to-point data is not affected.) If present, this item must be an IP address—not a host name or network name. The send address need not be among the list of multicast groups joined in part two. If you join one or more multicast groups in part two, but do not specify a send address in part three, the send address defaults to the first multicast group listed in part two.
Note: I wasn’t aware that for Tibco Rendezvous the default multi-cast network was 225 (often you see 224 here, as that is the starting multi-cast range in the IANA IPv4 Address Space list)

I’ve two fiber connections, one cable connection and one ADSL connection at home.
This is a traceroute from one fiber connection to the other over the outside network:

Cable is about twice as slow than Fiber.
ADSL is about three times as slow than Fiber.

Too bad the Citrix Receiver remaps the keyboard shortcuts in a way that keyboards without a numeric keypad is a pain.
First of all, it was a bit tough to find the shortcuts, and I have not found a way to modify them.
Here is what I did find:
