Alternative title: How to spend an afternoon at Bastli. 
 
 Wake-on-LAN has a few issues that I personally don’t like.
The primary thing that I don’t like is that it relies on the mainboard and network interface to be not-quite-shutdown.
This leads to some unnecessary power draw while the PC/server is supposed to be shut down. 
 In addition to that, the way WOL…
One blogpost ago, I wrote about Stuff I’ve spent entirely too much time on .
That title was of course in jest, as I think I’ve spent a (somewhat) reasonable amount of time on VPN and DNS, given that it makes my setup quite a bit more secure and also makes certain things simpler. 
 There are, however, things I have also spent a lot of time on, where I’d say “yes,…
This blog post comes in two variants, based on a simple condition. 
 
 Are you my thesis supervisor: I’ve done lots of thesis :) this blog post is finished now. 
 Otherwise: keep reading 
 
 Recently I stumbled upon my old NAS.
It’s been turned off since a while, and I really had no clue what’s on it.
However, I decided I should integrate it in my…
The (very niche) Problem 
 Some time ago I came across this blogpost which describes the agony the author went through to provide both a synchronous and an asynchronous version of their library. 
 What the author opted for in the end is a library that either generated async or normal code depending on the presence (or absence) of a feature flag.
Importantly however, this would not work…
Recently I have been plagued by search results polluted by low-quality and/or uninformative results.
One website annoys me in particular, which I will refer to as mediocre.com .
Hence, I would like for these articles to never appear in my search results again. 
 
 Firefox luckily allows you to configure your search, but it is not as user-friendly as one might hope. 
 First we…
I finally took time to set up my SSH properly.
Due to the nature of my setup, I needed to use non-default ssh ports. 
 Kind of annoying, isn’t it?
You have to specify the port ever time you connect, like so: 
 ssh user@host -p port 
 Worse even, if you have multiple ssh certificates, you need to specify that as well! 
 Luckily this problem has a very easy solution :)…
As hopefully many people are aware, C and C++ have a notion of “Undefined Behaviour”.
Few people seem to realize what that means though, so I wanted to write a funny program to illustrate it. 
 Most people just seem to think that if Undefined Behaviour happens, then just some values might be random.
However, I think it’s much worse than that. 
 At the moment I am…
Some time ago I decided I want to take matters into my own hands and host my own code.
I was aware of a few git hosting services: GitHub, GitLab, BitBucket, and Gitea. 
 GitHub was no option, as you can’t self-host that. 
 I was not very familiar with GitLab, and it looked clunky, big, and slow to me. 
 BitBucket I was not a fan of due to it being product of an Australian…
Hello! :3 
 This is a new beginning of my blogging adventures.
Maybe I’ll find more time and be less lazy than last time. 
 Also, I got a fresh domain. (which looks very sus but idc) 
 New blog posts should be coming soon.
About 
 This is my own small blog where I share stuff I find interesting. 
It will most likely be related to programming, self-hosting stuff, or tech in general. 
 In case you want to get in touch, on the left there are links to my discord and e-mail. 
 Also, have you noticed that gray banner at the bottom already?
Check out other peoples blogs!
