I always wonder why *so many* people prefer to fill their bio page with things they hate. Not an expert but does this sound healthy to you?

Kinda missed the memo that I can follow back with the AP plugin nowadays too 🤔 I ve to test this.

Love this: https://z80.me/blog/tsc-2026-july/ It s not just flightsim/carsim people that DIY complete simulated cockpits in their basements/attics. Other genres(?) are blowing my mind regularly too. (Also I like trains trying hard to not make this another rabbit hole of mine)
I’d not buy a LG monitor
There is a video by Gamers Nexus making the rounds that makes me really angry. It reports about LG s latest practise to add blatant spyware to a monitor. Or to be precise to the *software* application associated with that monitor. The icing is that Windows apparently automatically downloads this software by default and this thing [ ]

❤️ https://blog.koehntopp.info/2026/07/22/moores-law-und-die-ai-blase/ Sehr schön zusammen gefasst. Es gefällt mir natürlich überhaupt nicht doch kann ich das selbst aus dem privaten Anwender-Umfeld absolut nachvollziehen. Die Leute kaufen seit Jahren keine richtigen PCs mehr und spielen auch lieber auf dem Tablet oder eben auf einer Konsole. Selbst meine eigenen Kinder sitzen lieber mit dem…

Updated and fiddled with a lot of options. Wonder if AP syndication still works 🤔

🔖 https://blog.zenlinux.com/2020/04/configuring-the-gnome-shell-panel-with-firefox-and-thunderbird-profiles/ I tend to forget about this neat feature of modern browsers. Profiles! Time to sort that chaos a little. That comment that it needs the name parameter instead of class on Wayland to stop the auto grouping of all Firefox instances into one group on ALT+TAB is gold.

Roaring AC mono block in the room but having to attend video conferences with talking? #EasyEffects makes short work of background noise. Just run that neat little app, it ll plug in right into your #PipeWire (default on most modern Linux PCs) and add the noise suppressor to the input device. To actually listen to the [ ]
Using the RK Royal Kludge keyboard configuration webapp on Linux PC
Okay today I managed to accidentally trigger locked function keys on my rather new M70 RK Royal Kludge. There is a modifier hotkey for this that I didn t know of before (FN + LEFT CTRL) and I was lost for a hot minute how to turn it off again. Ah well, we re still getting to know each [ ]

Unexpected: #BeamEyeTracker is looking for #Linux testers: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2375780/discussions/0/4757578278664103829/?tscn=1779131011#c845132259930409642 (The Beam Eye Tracker is software that turns standard webcams or smartphones into PC eye and head-trackers. It eliminates the need for expensive hardware or wearable gear. Works apparently even with [some] glasses but I wouldn t…

Got myself a little downtime here. Not sure what s going on but the system SSD threw IO errors and the LVM switched to read-only as a result. I m kinda amazed that the system kept chugging along like that at all. Anyway, a long SMART self-test came back clean and the system reboots fine. Just to [ ]
Quest for a new EasyFire flame detector sensor and overriding the broken photo sensor
tl;dr: Siemens photo resistive flame detector QRB1B-A070B70A is a suitable replacement for the Danfoss 057H7101 LDS sensor, that is so end of life, that I couldn t even find it s datasheet anywhere on the net. It did cost me 35 EUR. Every time the central heater breaks down it s in the wintertime and on a holiday [ ]
Thrustmaster rudder pedal repair
I repaired my old Thrustmaster rudder pedals. That s the one I upgraded using an Arduino Pro Micro before (PeerTube, YouTube) to get rid of their old D-Sub connector so this device is really old and probably belongs into a museum. I doubt I d get any replacement parts for this from the vendor nowadays. Their sliding [ ]
Metro Exodus
Played Metro Exodus (Enhanced Edition) and I liked it. I m catching up on my backlog of games. One of the games that was sitting idle in my library for years is Metro Exodus. Unlike it s predecessors we get to see a lot more of the outside of the post apocalyptic world of the Metro saga. [ ]

Monolith – A Sci-Fi Survival Adventure
Played https://store.steampowered.com/app/1542390/Monolith Needed 10.4h and somehow missed every single achievement 😆 The end was a little tedious (I mean at some point you just see what s coming next) but the puzzles are intriguing and most are logical (unlike certain other wacky puzzlers). Plenty of nods and references to the genre and the humour is right [ ]
Getting 6DOF with older 3DOF XR glasses
Breezy can now turn a 3DOF (degree of freedom) device into a 6DOF device by augmenting the missing positional data from a webcam. Spoiler! It is not the cam strapped to my face this is just for the demo you can watch here, on PeerTube or YouTube. The cam, that I used for this [ ]
