#TIL "Professional olive oil tasters use special blue glasses to block the color of the olive oil for this same reason: color is not an indicator of quality."

#TIL Fulton was not the first inventor of the steamboat, that was Claude-François-Dorothée, marquis de Jouffroy d'Abbans. Reportedly he got the idea while watching boats maneuver around Saint Margaret Island from his prison cell there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude-Fran%C3%A7ois-Doroth%C3%A9e,_marquis_de_Jouffroy_d%27Abbans #steam

#til: auch die Familie #Bosbach ist in zweiter Generation im Bundestag:

Spontan fallen mir außerden ein: die von der Leyens / Albrechts, die Schäubles, die Bouffiers, die Carstensens, alle in zweiter Generation mindestens in der zweiten Reihe der Bundespolitik in der Union. Safe gibt es noch mehr, auf die ich gerade nicht komme. Die #CDU einfach ein feudaler Selbstbedienungsladen.

#TIL about Smith v Fonterra Co-Operative Group Ltd [2024];

"... NZSC 5. is a landmark New Zealand tort law case, concerning liability of major fossil fuel polluters for climate damage. The NZ Supreme Court held that polluting companies could be liable in tort to pay damages from global warming and rising sea levels to people whose coastal property is damaged, overturning courts below."

#til that wtfjht.com still exists and I'm kind of shocked that nobody seems to post it on here

Arcane knowledge for POSIXy shell scripts: You cannot use `echo -n "Hello "` to print something without a newline. Instead use `echo "Hello \c"` #TIL (cue even more greyer greybeards that will tell me that `printf` is the way of the Master ;)

On my shopping list: ingredients for Peperonata

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peperonata

#TIL "Berries are a key ingredient in pemmican, a calorically dense, highly processed power bar of sorts made of rendered fat, shredded meat, and dried berries that were critical to get people of the Great Plains through the winter months. The unsuspecting berries, which are a natural preservative, are a critical component."

#TIL I learned, why my debian #Python #systemd service output wasn't live updating in journalctl. This was a problem which I "temporarily" solved by using screen or tmux when I need to follow the output live. (= for about a decade or so...)

Turns out I just need the flag "-u" for unbuffered output and to set the StandardOutput/-Error to "journal" (which should be the default anyway)

And then suddenly after reloading "sudo journalctl -fu my_service" will produce a live, updating output.

TIL that there was an Italian baroque composer called Francesco Zappa .

Francesco Zappa on Wikipedia

#til that if you change a #grafana 's panel's serie's¹ colors², they're not saved with the dashboard. They're lost the moment you look elsewhere.

Also: for when can we copying a panel from instance to instance will be possible? Took me 30m to recreated this panel: 13 queries, 4 overrides, custom legends:

¹ is this valid #English
² not a possessive.

Rizz means chaRISma !
