Eine Runde Mitleid

Mods, please forgive me 😭

Once again, I'm really sorry for being a dumbass. It's all my fault 😭

Edit: Why do my posts keep getting duplicated when I post them? What's happening? Did I break Lemmy?

During the classic first Tennant era episode School Reunion there’s a detail that is technically correct, however it is only inadvertently correct.

When the Doctor and Sarah Jane first encounter each other, they exchanged the following dialogue:

SARAH: It's you. Oh, Doctor Oh, my God, it's you, isn't it. You've regenerated. DOCTOR: Yeah. Half a dozen times since we last met.

Now, back in 2006, this was technically correct, as from Baker to Tennant, that was 6 regenerations e.g.

1: T.Baker to Davison 2: Davison to C.Baker 3: C.Baker to McCoy 4: McCoy to McGann 5: McGann to Eccleston 6: Eccleston to Tennant

There we have it: 6 regenerations, half a dozen exactly, and everything fit nice and snug…

Then came the War Doctor, and messed everything up 🙄.

The inclusion of the war doctor in 2013 (first appearing in the Name of the Doctor) adds another regeneration to the list, thereby breaking the Doctor’s assertion of half a dozen. It’s still close, but not quite exact. So you’d think this breaks what the Doctor said, right???

Wrong.

The fact is, there’s one detail that actually makes this statement true: the five Doctors.

Most people are assuming that when the Doctor says this, he is referring to her travels with Tom Baker as ‘the last time we met’. However, the last time the doctor and Sarah Jane met (in the mainstream show, at least; we’re not counting comics/audiobooks which completely blow this all out anyway from all angles) was in the 1983 classic The Five Doctors. And what was the latest incarnation the Doctor was in at that point? His 5th: Peter Davison. Hence, the last time the Doctor and Sarah Jane met was when he was already in his 5th incarnation and had already gone through his initial regeneration. In fact, Tom Baker famously wasn’t even in the episode, aside from a minor extra-footage cameo. Revising the list, we can therefore see that the Doctor’s assertion holds correct.

1: Davison to C.Baker 2: C.Baker to McCoy 3: McCoy to McGann 4: McGann to War 5: War to Eccleston 6: Eccleston to Tennant

Interestingly enough though, this minor detail technically only makes the statement true since 2013: before 2013, there was no War Doctor and Toby Whitehouse (the writer of the School Reunion episode) and RTD had no way of knowing that Moffat would eventually create the War Doctor, but they also never factored in the Five Doctors to that comment at the time, which is a surprising detail to miss as it technically would have made the assertion incorrect if not for the creation of the War Doctor. If they had, then technically there would’ve only been 5 regenerations since — again, a close number, but still technically incorrect:

1: Davison to C.Baker 2: C.Baker to McCoy 3: McCoy to McGann 4: McGann to Eccleston 5: Eccleston to Tennant

What a strange inadvertent occurrence.

Woke up an hour early today. Not because I wanted to. Last day/night of being on call.

Bert is an obvious train wreck.

De Syrische oud-dictator Bashar al-Assad is in zijn thuisland bij verstek ter dood veroordeeld. De rechtbank acht hem schuldig aan oorlogsmisdaden en misdaden tegen de menselijkheid. Assad was verantwoordelijk voor de dood van honderdduizenden Syriërs tijdens de burgeroorlog tussen 2011 en [...]

„Wenn der Kanzler die Hitze zur Chefsache macht, wird sich das Wetter auch nicht ändern“? Doch, es wird heißer und heißer, wenn die deutsche Regierung im Konzert mit anderen Regierungen, die beim Klimaschutz bremsen und sabotieren, so weitermacht. Der Verweis darauf, dass Deutschland nur für zwei Prozent der weltweiten Emissionen verantwortlich zeichnet, beleidigt obendrein den Intellekt der Bevölkerung. Niemand hat je etwas anderes behauptet, aber eben genau diese zwei Prozent sind unsere Aufgabe, während andere Länder an ihren Prozentpunkten arbeiten.

Moment mal: Deutschland verursacht zwei Prozent der weltweiten Emissionen mit einer Bevölkerung von einem Prozent der weltweiten Bevökerung ? (Deutschland hat 83 Millionen, die Welt 8.3 Milliarden)

Da sollte doch was auffallen ....

This approach uses tiny capsules containing living cells plus engineered microorganisms that act as biological “instructions”, releasing signals that tell stem cells what kind of tissue to become. The researchers have demonstrated bone, fat and muscle formation, with printing taking minutes to about an hour and tissue maturation taking roughly three weeks.

You often hear people complain about many exciting new sci-tech developments being in labs, and then never heard of again. But there's a whole host of problems to resolve before the lab-to--successful product journey is complete. In this case, the final product needs to be; reproducible, automated, inexpensive, scalable, regulation-compliant and sufficiently precise.

A technology solution that simultaneously solves the problems of cultivated meat & human tissue bio-printing would be so huge, it makes you wonder why people don't put more urgency into these commercialization efforts.

3D printing gets a living upgrade

The Government™ made an ad about Ai Data Centres, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

Been running a handful of scheduled tasks on two VPS instances for about a year now — nightly DB dumps, cache warmers, a couple of data sync scripts. Had everything piped to log files and thought I was covered.

Then last month one of the sync scripts started hanging mid-execution. It never crashed, never threw an error, just... sat there. The log showed the start timestamp but no finish line. Took me four days to notice because I wasn't checking logs daily (who does).

After that I looked into what people use to catch this kind of thing.

What I tried:

Healthchecks.io — solid, does the job. You curl a URL at the end of your cron and if the ping doesn't arrive within the expected window, you get an alert. Simple concept.

I also tested WatchCron which works on the same principle but felt a bit snappier to set up for multiple jobs. Has a dashboard that shows timing patterns across runs, which helped me spot that one of my backup jobs was gradually taking longer each week — would've missed that with just pass/fail alerts.

The pattern that works for me now:

#!/bin/bash
# at the end of each cron script
curl -fsS -m 10 --retry 3 $MONITOR_URL > /dev/null

If the script hangs or exits early, the ping never fires, and I get a Slack notification within minutes.

One thing I changed — I stopped redirecting cron output to /dev/null. Feels obvious in hindsight but I see it everywhere in tutorials. If your task does fail, you want that output in the mail spool or a log, not gone.

What's your setup for catching silent failures? Curious if anyone's doing something beyond the "ping on success" model — like tracking execution duration or exit codes.
