In the summer of 2024, something interesting happened in the Homebrew world: [Wayback/Archive] Our audit of Homebrew | Trail of Bits Blog.
This is really cool, while not only it caused some fixes of by then unknown issues, but also improved the various processes that already made Homebrew such a great tool by focusing on these aspects:

It looks like my E61 needs the battery to be charged at least every few weeks. Need to figure out why.
If I don’t, then the light on the right shows.
At first I thought this might be a key-fob issue (which was also running low on batteries), but that is a different icon. A few weeks later without using the car, date and time in the car were being reset, so it is definitely a car battery charge issue.

Also, falls jemand UFW am laufen hat und keinen Bock auf criteo hat:
edited: UFW Regel nach Hinweis aus Kommentaren angepasst.
ufw deny out from any to 185.235.84.0/22
Or [Wayback/Archive] Tobias Klausmann: “@sven222 Bei mir ist nftables …” – mas.to:
@sven222 Bei mir ist nftables statt ufw, ich hab dann das hier gemacht:
ip daddr 185.235.84.0/22 tcp dport 443 jump rd
ip daddr 185.235.84.0/22 tcp dport 80 jump rd“
rd” it eine chain, die normal rejectet (also wie “port ist zu” aussieht), aber bei hohen Paketraten zu “drop” wechselt.
Oh, and WetterOnline were the ones that forced the German state weather agency to limit the usability of their free app: [Wayback/Archive] BGH-Urteil: Staatlicher Wetterdienst muss Gratis-App beschränken | heise online.
For that reason alone, WetterOnline and their obvious local brands are blocked here, as is criteo.

A few of my git repositories and technical surroundings (like pages) should outlast my life expectancy, for instance the ones supporting the IT infrastructure of my mentally retarded brother after I pass away.
Most of the involved repositories have no write-activity (they are either documentation that the people can use after I passed away, or are semi-static web-pages that require TLS in order to keep functioning; GitLab provides an automatic update mechanism for that which is based on Let’s Encrypt).
Summer 2022, GitLab caused quite some stir when they planned to first delete dormant repositories. Links on tose below.
Of course I could move to GitHub, but that lacks access control through project hierarchy provided by GitLab and could implement a similar repository dormancy scheme in the future.
Using an external “keepalive” mechanism only induces a game of walls and ladders [Wayback/Archive] (likely requiring intervention after I die) and also makes the infrastructure more brittle so I proposed a lump sum plan.
Some links for my reminder:

At the time of writing [Wayback/Archive] Two-Factor Authentication & Data Protection | Duo Security is supposed to be free for up to 10 users.
That seems to be an excellent opportunity to re-learn MFA things as it has been a while since I have done big work in that area.
Duo was one of the very many Cisco acquisitions and I wonder how it fits into the Cisco landscape.
Documentation bits to start at:
