By trait I am an electronics engineer, although I have never worked in that field and never will, some of that education still remains with my interests and somehow effects my life. One of these things is computers and the things one can do utilising them. Back in 2016 I bought my first home server, […]

Disaster
Yesterday disaster decided to strike and lucky me, it chose me to be struck. Let me take you through the events. I finished my work day drove home and had some dinner, during which I decided to read a book on my tablet. Whilst enjoying my food and book, an e-Mail notification popped up. My […]
My workflow changed (Partially)
I am not sure when this started happening, but I while back I could not live at the office without having at least three monitors to work on, one for mail, one for coding and one for server connections, testing and debugging. I gradually reduced that to two. Also, when multiple workspaces were an option, […]
The “Far out” Apple Event
I don’t usually care much about these Apple events, but the “Far Out” event of September 7th, 2022 is one I did actually watch after it was held and I saw the new devices.

9 months on a Mac
If you followed this blog for a while, you might remember that back in December 2021 my, until then, trusty Thinkpad decided it was time to blow up its battery and I, for some reason, decided to get a MacBook Air as my new computer. This post will be about the ups and downs I […]
Thoughts about energy and sustainability
My recent blog post, that was basically me just venting my annoyance about tech that is designed to be e-waste soon, did spark a couple of interesting responses. So I figured I might not be the only one interested in living a bit more sustainable. Also recent events and the possibility of Austria and Europe […]
Unlock your stupid bootloader
Dear tech companies, please stop locking the bootloader of your devices. The second I hand you money and get the device in return it stops being yours and starts being mine. What I choose to do with it is up to me, nobody else. What OS I run on it is up to me. What […]
A way too long silence
As some might have noticed, my blog has been silent for a while now, this was due to a lot happening in my private life lately, which I am not going into detail here, but let’s just say most is sorted out by now and with this post more regular updates are planned and going […]
