Tim Ferriss: Tools of Titans: The Tactics, Routines, and Habits of Billionaires, Icons, and World-Class Performers

Also found on my kindle… downloaded and forgotten 🙂

Short entertaining read with lots of bits and pieces of wisdom. Worth reading.

UniFi Dream Machine: list dhcp leases

tl;dr: /mnt/data/udapi-config/dnsmasq.lease

So I just went on an excursion trying to find all dhcp leases dhcpd on our new UDM had handed out.

Reason: anything behind unmanaged switches behind an AP serving as bridge will not show up in the clients overview in the controller, while being perfectly functional.

Following the official guide to validate static assignments doesn’t work for dream machines – and logging into the USG to run show dhcp leases will simply tell you that show isn’t a command found in its lingo. This is exacerbated by the fact that it’s actually impossible to log in to the UDM as a regular user (ie the user configured through the controller (after enabling advanced features and SSH authentication subsequently)), and you’ll have to login as root with your regular controller password as documented in the getting started guide.

On the brighter side, the controller will show static configurations in the clients dashboard, once you select the “All configured clients” filter.

cat /mnt/data/udapi-config/dnsmasq.lease

To show current dhcp leases.

Chris Guillebeau: The Art of Non‑Conformity

This was marked unread on my kindle, but upon reopening I realized I’d read it before (but apparently a ~decade ago), so I decided to re-read it, since it’s short 🙂

Still a good read – while it didn’t necessarily age well on the storytelling side, the overall narrative still feels pretty spot on. Certainly worth reading, inspiring, full of beautiful quotes.

chrome: element screenshot

How cool, til that it’s possible to take screenshots of specific elements, using chrome:

tl;dr: select element, Cmd + Shift + P to access command menu, “capture node screenshot”

works pretty well <3

Patrick Lencioni: The Advantage: Why Organizational Health Trumps Everything Else In Business

One of the books that resonate well with my own experience gained over the years, around the importance of clarity, cohesion, communication and psychological safety making organizations truly great.

Worth the read, but better starting with the “Checklist for Organizational Health“ (all the way at the end of the book) and then diving into the specific chapters to learn more.

Still has too many words compared to the core message 🙂

COVID-19: daily heatmap

Thanks to the awesome work of Daniel Probst, collecting per canton data and publishing it on https://github.com/daenuprobst/covid19-cases-switzerland, I was able to pull this quick heatmap together, showing latest (ie daily) confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Switzerland, updated constantly (whenever source data changes).

note: unreported cantonal data is backfilled from the previous day

(previous post on this topic: https://www.musings.ch/2020/03/13/covid-19-heatmap-schweiz/)

And since heatmaps over broad areas are not necessarily useful, here’s a map of cantons affected.

COVID-19: lagging indicator of protectionism/lockdowns

On 2020-03-15, when I checked IATA’s travel advisories, it totaled 17 matches for “Switzerland”. Today:

$ curl -s https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/international-travel-document-news/1580226297.htm | grep -o Switzerland | wc -l

This includes 3 matches for the Switzerland section alone… but still.

Stephen Covey: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Found https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_7_Habits_of_Highly_Effective_People on my kindle – had stopped reading it at 41% a couple of years ago and finished it just now. While in essence, a good book, there’s a lot of editorializing and storytelling. Leaving that out, would probably compress it to ~100 pages.

COVID-19: Heatmap Schweiz

Since I was playing with Google Maps API heatmaps recently, I thought I’d put together a quick heatmap showing confirmed COVID-19 cases in Switzerland.

COVID-19 cases per 100k inhabitants, in Switzerland, as of 2020-03-19.

Updated 19.03.2020 using https://www.bag.admin.ch/dam/bag/de/dokumente/mt/k-und-i/aktuelle-ausbrueche-pandemien/2019-nCoV/covid-19-lagebericht.pdf.download.pdf/COVID-19_Epidemiologische_Lage_Schweiz.pdf – now based on incidence of cases per 100k inhabitants.

13.03.2020 – BR: Coronavirus (COVID-19) und Zeitmaschinen

Ich war ja schon immer ein grosser Anhänger der Zeitmaschinen Frage. Die Antwort wäre sicherlich, dass man, wenn man eine Zeitmaschine hätte, die arme Fledermaus davon bewahren würde, gefangen zu werden.

Aber leider wissen wir ja alle auch, dass, wenn jemand jemals eine Zeitmaschine erfinden würde, wir dies bereits wüssten, und die Frage somit hinfällig wäre 🙂
