The most interesting thing I wanna share is my browser switch. I’ve always been using Arc. As that is done, I made the switch to Zen. Pretty buggy but ok. The biggest problem I had was the power draw. As I’m preparing a more nomadic lifestyle, I really need to care for my battery. The power draw is really just way too high. By accident, I stumbled upon Orion . I’ve had it in the…
Using ublock origin, we can block the pesty Google SSO popup that seems to be added to random websites all over right now. 
 Head to the uBlock origin settings, the “My Filters” tab and paste the following:

 4 ! Block 'Sign in with Google' iframe in top right corner of websites ||…
I’ve finished reading Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell . I always felt that this must be a very boring read, but the recent rise of trumpism, MAGA, dark enlightenment and all these dystopian things finally made me pick it up. 5/5, highly recommended. Not boring at all. 
 It paints a picture of a totalitarian regime that utilizes new speak , surveillance and propaganda to control the…
I think Peter Levels doesn’t need an introduction. He’s the guy behind Nomad List , Remote OK , and Makebook . He’s a serial maker and has been building profitable startups for years now. He’s also a big advocate of building startups without funding. 
 There’s quite the well known talk from him from six years ago on YouTube . 
 Here’s a quick guide on…
I want to switch things up here. I always considered this blog to be the technical perspective on my live. I always felt that focussing on one topic at a time (and thus, if you want to write about multiple topics, have multiple blogs) is the right thing to do. This is not the case anymore. I’d like to write more and show more of my other passions. 
 Did you know that I’m also an…
I did my first “interview” with Mat from Tribe of Builders and it was an interesting experience. He provided me with a list of questions and I could choose the ones I wanted to answer most. I got so into it that I answered quite a lot. After editing I could review the post, but it was good as it was. It was an interesting experience and I really like the outcome. Be sure to give Mat…
At $startup_at_the_time we are building a new authorization system. We’re using Spring Security ACL at the moment, but we’re seeing a number of issues with it. Namely: 
 
 the documentation is outdated at best 
 they’re contemplating deprecating it with Spring Security 7 
 no migration documentation from Spring Security 5 to 6, which blocks us from upgrading to…
There are two easy things to clean up a lot of disk space on a mac. The first one will remove all stopped containers and unused volumes. 
 docker system prune --volumes
 The second one will remove all old versions of installed packages. 
 brew cleanup

So it’s been a while since my last update and a lot has happened. I launched 2markdown ) over the course of a weekend. $startup_at_the_time has taken most of my time while we’ve crunched the last two months. I didn’t have the necessary time to work on newsletterify I’m afraid. I still believe the idea is great and I’m still convinced that it’s worth a shot.…
For whatever reason, people always felt drawn to mysteries, especially unsolved ones. On this page I would like to collect the ones that drew me in, fascinated by the curiosities of life and tragedy. I fell into a rabbit whole the other day and was procrastinating on modern mysteries and search and rescue stories which I’d like to document here. It’s really interesting as a data point…
As mentioned earlier , I am implementing a SaaS-base to be reused for every project idea I have and that makes it through the meat grinder. If you start building something without a clearly defined scope, you will find it very hard to stop and succumb to feature creep . So let’s define the scope an MVP for a Micro SaaS should have. 
 We have one general area of code that’s always…
I’ve build products for as long as I can code. It started with game hacks (basically apps that employed cheat codes, sorry!) to forums, IRC bots, a youtube downloader, and an app for macOS where you could share images by dragging them onto the app logo. All before I turned 18. Then I went to uni and started working on the side. I had less time and energy to focus on what I loved most:…
Hi there, I’m Chris. Chronically online and coding since about 20 years now. I’ve studied computer science (BSc & MSc) and focused on machine learning/AI/data science and theoretical computer science. I’ve been a CTO for 10+ years now, as co-founder, as fractional, every possible way. Fintech, healthtech, media, and lately financial services. 
 I am into (long distance/trail)…
Nothing happening atm :)
