Taxes

I’ve done my taxes in january. Which means I’m waiting since 6 months for my shit to get processed now. 6 fucking months. And today I wanted to log into elster online to check if I accidentally didn’t submit them or something. Now the website is broken and I can’t login. Some input field is missing or something. Checked with different browsers.

I love germany. That’s how we role.

Am I too harsh? Maybe I should be more patient and give them another 3 months for the website to get fixed and 3 months for my taxes to be processed. This should put the deadline to 2023. No pressure. Everybody chillax !

Access Denied

Some idiot is trying to log into one of my servers by doing a login attempt every 5 minutes from various different alternating IP addresses. Looks like a long running dictionary attack or something.

Dude, give up already. It’s spaming my logs. I don’t even know my password myself. And unless you also have my 2FA tokens you are out of luck anyway.

To mitigate the logspam I’m making a new rule.

3 Strikes and you are out. If any IP has 3 failed attempts it gets blocked forever. I hope the guy has unlimited IP addresses if he wants to keep this up.

BASF

Alright Alright Alright…. The almighty social media algorithms can stop suggesting me videos about the BASF stock now. I get it I get it. I give up. And I already bought in. Now shut up. Jesus I hope it doesn’t drop more.

GOT

The final Season Game of Thrones is what happens when you are trying to be so edgy and unpredictable, that you sacrifice 7 seasons of intricate character arcs and throw complex plot development out of the window just for the sake of the lulz and to be able to say … “Didn’t see that one coming, did you ?” lmao wtf

hotel wlan rant

Seriously…. who develops these shitty systems for hotel wifi ?
I know , I know , it’s been said a thousand times…
But I’m sitting here in Austria in a fucking hotel and guess what.

  • No wifi encryption
  • password security is a joke
  • They redirect all sites to the login site
  • I get a thousand certificate warnings
  • need 10 minutes to think of a site which doesn’t default to https
  • finally -> login
  • I wan’t to establish a ssl vpn tunnel
  • ALL FUCKING PORTS BLOCKED !
  • can’t connect with openvpn
  • can’t connect with IRC
  • can’t access my NAS
  • can’t connect with SSH
  • Search for free https tunneling solutions
  • give up

at least it’s fucking slow as fuck and the connection is terrible,
so we got that going … *sigh*

reminder to myself : run openvpn on 443
