I know, it’s been a while since the last post, and for good reason, I have been busy with other things that had higher priority. But, good news everyone, I am back! And to keep with the traditions of this blog, I am going to vent my built up anger about everyones favourite fruit manufacturer. […]

The new (home) Server
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, […]
The Fairphone 5
And some thoughts on right to repair I am going to start this post with a completely unrelated topic. Yesterday my good friend the espresso machine decided that it would be much for fun to blow a fuse in the morning as making delicious coffee was the same old thing for her (yes her). So […]
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. A couple of years back, Apple called themselves courages for removing the headphone jack from their phones, so they could sell […]
Why I don’t miss mainstream social media
There are so many social media platforms out there, facebook, twitter, whatsapp, instagram, tiktok, and youtube for example. It’s kind of hard to remember them all. Did I miss one? Plenty actually, but more on that later. My main experience with most of these wasn’t something I’d care to repeat. And that is not the […]
Staying on top of things
Today will be a bit of a dry subject, it will be about the way I manage things for myself, but hey, maybe you, dear reader, find something in there that will help make your life a bit easier as well. First up, I have tried a lot of tools to stay on top of […]
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 […]
