About a week still left if you plan to travel in/through Germany by train:
[Wayback/Archive] Jubiläums BahnCard 25: 25 % Rabatt auf die Flexpreise und Sparpreise der Deutschen Bahn innerhalb Deutschlands
Note that after a year, it will be extended into a full-price card (at about double the price) which is still a great way to get price reduction on German Rail.
Caveat: be prepared for rail delays.
If you want to cancel the card, use this link (or the one below it which goes to the cancellation form):
Discounts also apply to already cheap tickets that you can book at [Wayback/Archive] Günstige Bahntickets ab 12,90 Euro deutschlandweit.

Hopefully the picture below is the board of a PCIe KVM board based on a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE).
At least it seems to looking at the thread started by [Wayback/Archive] Jeff Geerling on Twitter: “I plug computers into my computers… “:
It would also very much match the below issue that Jeff raised:

- [Archive.is] Ethan Mollick on Twitter: “The Internet is rotting. This chart shows the percentage of links from all New York Times articles that still work. Over 25% of the links embedded in articles just seven years ago & 60% of older links, are now broken. And tweets & posts are more ephemeral! … “
- [Wayback] What the ephemerality of the Web means for your hyperlinks – Columbia Journalism Review
Hyperlinks are a powerful tool for journalists and their readers. Diving deep into the context of an article is just a click away. But hyperlinks are a double-edged sword; for all of the internet’s boundlessness, what’s found on the Web can also be modified, moved, or entirely vanished. The fragility of the Web poses an […]
It’s all about Link_rot, which is the main reason I have been posting [Wayback] (and when these do not archive, [Archive.is]) archival links in my blog posts since about 2015.
Sometimes I find time to add these to older posts as well, but given there are 7000+ blog posts published, I won’t be able to do that for all past blog posts.

Now that Google Hangouts on a PC keeps nagging that it will be replaced with Google Chat, and the main use case for my mentally retarded brother is video calls from behind his PC, I am going to investigate if Google Duo is any better (he loses mobile phones, which means no WhatsApp; Google Meet is to difficult for his mental abilities).
Some links to get me started:

I say to people: only use shell interactively, don’t write scripts. Never. Not one.
But Kris, they ask, why so radical?
Because of this:
is the literal English Google Translation of the German text
Ich sage den Leuten: benutzt Shell nur interaktiv, schreibt keine Scripte. Nie. Nicht eines.
Aber Kris, fragen sie, wieso so Radikal?
Deswegen:
then links to [Wayback/Archive] Jan Schaumann on Twitter: “TIL zgrep(1) is a shell script. BSD basically does “zcat | grep”, but GNU does “gzip -dc | sed”. How did I learn that? The fun way! CVE-2022-1271, arbitrary-file-write and code execution vulnerability in GNU zgrep / gzip. …”:

Guessing the [Wayback] Run ESXi from a USB Flash Drive: A How-To-Guide by just the abstract does not show the value enough:
A USB flash drive can be used not only for installation media – you can also run ESXi from USB flash drives or SD flash cards and boot from these devices.
In fact, the article shows way more, including:
This is very important, because every now and then, these USB and SD devices fail (see for instance [Wayback] Solved: Remount boot filesystem on a running system. – VMware Technology Network VMTN), so knowing what to do then is key and helps handling errors like this one:
Lost connectivity to the device mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0 backing the boot filesystem /vmfs/devices/disks/mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0. As a result, host configuration changes will not be saved to persistent storage.
A every useful article for my link archive!
