I’ve searched in many places for a tool to handle SMS messages (sending, receiving, …) using ModemManager - but couldn’t find one, so I wrote a quick and dirty Bash script that does so. I have a failover setup for my main internet provider using an LTE modem and found it very useful to have a mobile number available for sending SMS alerts when server errors occur, such as: no internet connection —…
It’s mostly about privacy and trust. To share your private data, you need trust, and I never trusted big SaaS companies. I know that’s uncommon in this age when either everybody shares everything, or where the Internet gives the illusion of anonymity. But I know here are a lot of conscious people, longing for privacy and digital freedom - that’s why I’m sharing my thoughts - especially now, where…
The pursuit and search for quantifying and deeply understanding intuition is over! It gets better, Graham Weaver not only explains it spot-on, but he also provides an easy-to-understand, implementable process for going deep on intuition. Here it is: Video Graham Weaver on going deep on intuition
I love to journal – I’ve been doing it every day for nearly 10 years now . Most of the time, I’m recording my thoughts or just talking to myself . It’s a remarkable tool that teaches patience, clear thinking, and observation. That last part (observation) I’ve recently started to cultivate in a new way, which forces me to summarize my observations in short form. Here’s one of them: “Life is a…
2024.11.03 Update Here is what I’ve actually been looking for! The best decisions in my life, business, and health were made by listening to my intuition. But what is intuition? It’s a feeling that is really hard to explain, and I’ve found that the best way to do so is by example—through one’s actions (taken under that “feeling”) and the consequences of those actions. However, this is subjective…
I have been working professionally since the middle of high school - 20+ years. Since then, I have not had a vacation longer than 2 weeks - and those I have started to take fairly regularly just around 5 years ago. But I have never had a real (doesn’t matter how long) sabbatical from work. I didn’t even have this idea in my mind, that you can have a sabbatical (not vacation) until I listened to an…
I have an IoT network (for devices) running on a dedicated VLAN (with a hardened firewall of course! ;-)) and a Homebridge instance, that exposes some of those devices in an Apple Home (since they do not support iOS HomeKit API by default). Now the problem is that for Apple Home to work: Homebridge needs to have access to both local network and IoT VLAN. There needs to be a solid mDNS Advertiser…
The problem I have an IoT network (for devices) with the same SSID enabled on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, as some devices are not capable of handling 5GHz. Some devices, which are further away from the AP, can handle both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks. However, they constantly switch between 5GHz and 2.4GHz depending on the signal conditions. I have Band Steering set to prefer 5GHz, and I would like to…
