My number one reason for using systemd timers is just that I find it more readable than cron. Usually I want to run things daily, weekly or monthlyand systemd timers make that very easy.

Here is an example:

backup.timer

[Unit]
Description=Run backup database daily

[Timer]
OnCalendar=daily
RandomizedDelaySec=10

[Install]
WantedBy=timers.target

backup.service

[Unit]
Description=Backup database

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/bash /path/to/backupscript.sh

Another great feature is that the output of the script is logged to journald which is very convenient when you are troubleshooting why your backup failed last night.

We are basically already there with Windows 365. It's the comeback of the thin-client and the main frame. Everything old is new again.

The book is called Struwwelpeter and it is from 1844. The stories are intended for children and are all cautionary tales about how bad behaviour can have disastrous consequences. I loved them as a child and I probably could recite the whole book from memory. There is an English translation available at Project Gutenberg.

Datura Stramonium cigarettes to be precise. That plant can give you a nasty horror trip if you consume to much of it.

Kagi was founded as an AI company so this is not surprising. I unsubscribed from them after learning that. Also, their CEO is a weirdo who harasses people critical of their product and he thinks the GDPR is optional.

No they are tankies. I got banned from the comics sub for criticizing a comic that gave a, to put it nicely, very one sided perspective on communism.

The german word for aeroplane is similar, "Flugzeug" directly translates to "flying thing". Helicopter is also fun, "Hubschrauber" translates to "lifting screwer".

I recently read this article by Baldur Bjarnason about Apple continuously misinterpreting the DMA. It's has a rather cynical opinion of the EU but I liked how it tries to explain the actions Apple has recently taken. If Apple can't bully the EU into into allowing their bullshit, Meta and big tech companies wont fare any better.
