A very simple way to persist the logs of tasks run via crontab is to pipe stdout and stderr into /usr/bin/logger, which merges them into the machine’s syslog. This reuses the existing logging infrastructure already present on most UNIX-y machines, including standard log rotation. Best suited for small amounts of lines.

<some-command> 2>&1 | /usr/bin/logger -t <tag>

It is remarkable how much long-term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.

Santa Croce, Pizzo Rabbioso e Monte Corno, our first via ferrata of the year! Super nice, very well maintained and equipped. A perfect way to get back into the groove. Relatively easy but still fun, particularly as a first climb.

Slice the zucchini lengthwise into strips and quickly sear them on high-heat. Don’t be shy with the hummus, don’t make the zucchini strips too thin or too dry. Add 2 - 3 slices of bresaola. Optionally, olive oil. Best made with sourdough bread. Delicious!

Sea of Tranquility by Emily St. John Mandel is a glorious celebration of longing and belonging, of beauty, of empathy. A graceful, intimate work of speculative fiction masterfully woven across time, confronting some of mankind’s fundamental questions with a sense of wonder that never dissipates. I’ll have to read it again soon.

An Evocative mix of post-screamo, hardcore and nu metal with accents of djent and EDM. This is what happens when we embrace our teenage angst as we grow up, learning how to wield it and focus it against the struggles of adult life. Loved it. Highlights: “Ships in the Night”, “Don’t Look Back”, “Deja Vu”, “Dream With Me”.
