As some readers might have noticed, a while ago I tried living on a Mac instead of a Linux PC and at the end of the experiment decided to go back to what I was used to using and ditched the Mac in favour of my Ubuntu machine. But, about a month ago, while working […]

JingPad A1 Android App Support
It has been a while since I wrote about the progress of Jing-OS, the “Future Mobile OS based on Linux“, so I figured I should do that again. At the time of writing this post, Jing-OS is at version 1.1.1. The positive things The team at Jingling has put a lot of work into this […]
Looking forward not back
The year to come Many blogs and social media platforms tend to offer a look at the year that passed at this time, but I decided to do things differently so here are things I am looking forward to in 2022 or at least hope will happen. Tech in general, Linux and also non tech […]
Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité
not sure about the last part….. As for most of us, my daily (work) life consists of using multiple devices and with the addition of CoVid-19 the homeoffice introduced a number more of them. So what are we dealing with here? I have a PC at work, that runs Windows10, I have a PC at […]
E-Mail is dead, long live E-Mail!
Prologue I am not 100% certain, but SMTP is, as far as I know, one of the oldest protocols on the internet, going way back to the 1980s. So E-Mail and SMTP are with us for about 40 years now, so it must be doing something right. At least for me it is still one […]

I am referring to my post about the environmental gain of using EVs (https://www.thewkblog.com/?p=355) As was pointed out to me, my numbers were not up to date and thus I would like to correct my previous statement. I […]
Are electric vehicles going to save us?
With all the marketing and laws imposed on us, I started to think and look into things. As I turns out, I got an opinion and have things to say! Lucky you dear reader, ha? What are we actually looking at? First up, no one has a problem with cars as such, except for some […]
In recent news
Now, in recent news a well known computer company in California announced they would start scanning their customers phones for shell we call it illegal content. Since many blogs started blowing up about this I figured I should write here again and about something completely different, because why go with the masses…. Software I use […]
