Took the new #nightjet yesterday from Vienna > Amersfoort. Very new train, but still with a number of teething issues. An on-board technician tried to solve e.g. sliding doors that wouldn’t open. Some problems couldn’t be fixed (one cabin’s keycard didn’t work, person was moved to a free cabin, my neighbour’s cabin wouldn’t properly lock).

A single common redstart was my 1st of the year (male, singing), and at least 2 cuckoos, 1 seen in flight. Also 2 common lizards darted away into the bracken. Crab apples in bloom and alive with droning bees.

Wann Mini Cabins Hamburg-Zürich?
I love the fact that switching out a failing SSD just involved formatting the new SSD, copying the files over via `rsync`, powering off the computer, and swapping the new SSD in for the old one. I did have to make a minor tweak to the `fstab` because I decided to go with XFS, but the down time for the computer was only for as long as it took me to get the SSD swapped in.
