*nix systems tools often are have write-only maintenance tricks:
alias make-list-target='make -qp | awk -F":" "/^[a-zA-Z0-9][^$#\/\t=]*:([^=]|$)/ {split(\$1,A,/ /);for(i in A)print A[i]}"'
Like usual, I have only a vague idea what the regex expressions do.

I use “git mv” a lot because somehow it works a lot better than having git automagically find out about renames.
The problem with “git mv” is that the “fatal: bad source” errors are a catch-all for many causes. Just look at the
Searching for “git mv” directory “fatal: bad source” didn’t get me much further. The one link that did get me towards the right track is version control – Getting Git to follow renamed and edited files – Stack Overflow.
What happened was that I had manually deleted and edited some files as part of a mass script (the repository had a lot of files in it that didn’t belong there compile targets and user specific settings or didn’t adhere to the naming conventions) before executing the “git mv”.
Since “git mv” tries to administer all the files that it thinks originally were in the directory, it complains about those files.
Lesson learned: first “git mv” then perform other changes.

To work around this error:
ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified or timeout expired
ensure your DDL does wait a bit longer than the default of NOWAIT seconds:
alter session set ddl_lock_timeout=30
;
alter table TABLE_NAME
modify constraint CONSTRAINT_NAME enable
;
commit

I’ve had a SUA3000XLI for years using the USB cable and default Windows support as PowerChute Personal Edition would fail to recognise it and abort installation (so I could not use APC drivers as described on youtube).
A while ago, Liander – the energy distribution company – wanted to replace both the gas and electricity meters to become “smart” during day time. The server configuration load was heavy enough for Windows to indicate the UPS would last about 30 minutes. At night that’s not much of a problem but during 1 hour replacement day-time it would be a problem.
So I bought a SUA48XLBP battery pack (and a SUA039 cable as the cable wasn’t long enough to keep an inch or so air space between UPS and battery pack) so the battery would last about 3 times as long.
Windows would still show it would last about 30 minutes. Strange. So I started looking around and it appeared the SUA3000XLI needed calibration which requires PowerChute. Since PowerChute won’t work, I was almost back at square 1. Almost, as I know knew it required calibration.
In the past I had come across apcupcd but that was a long time ago when it supported a limited set of operating systems and a limited set of features so I never installed it.
But when searching how to calibrate the without using PowerChute, it quickly appeared that the apctest part of apcupsd can do just that: soft calibrate the UPS/battery combo. There are some steps and prerequisites (the most important ones are to turn off the apcupsd and provide enough load and 100% battery charge at start).
Spoiler: the combined UPS/battery-pack now lasts for almost 2 hours which is long enough.
I’m describing this from a Windows perspective and it’s dead easy:
The USB connection to the UPS delivers slightly less options than using a serial cable

I found this stone game on the bank of the Ahr river somewhere behind the Ruland hotel in Altenahr around 50°30’58.8″N, 6°59’27.9″E.
Since I didn’t know what it was, I asked my G+ friends “:Anybody who knows what kind of game this is?” and got quick answers:
The game is thousands of years old and this stone will last for quite a while…
