YouTube Challenge
YouTube is a wonderful resource of knowledge. It’s the only US big-tech social media site I derive joy from, and it seems to be a net positive for me. My “Watch Later” playlist sits at roughly 2,000 videos. In my attempt to work through that list, I am incentivizing watching video after video. But consumption without action is not helpful. I hereby challenge myself to watch a…

Digital Independence Day: What I Use
Today marks the first Digital Independence Day , which will be held every first Sunday in 2026. The idea is to move at least start using one more privacy respecting non-big tech alternative each month. I have been slowly but steadily moving all my digital life away from big-tech over the past year already, but still a few steps to go. Inspired by a great talk about volunatry privatly organized…

The 512KB Club
This site is now part of The 512KB Club . 🎉 Just yesterday, my pull request was accepted and got merged. I am very excited to be featured on the clubs site. With 50KB, I am sitting right in the middle of the Green Team: My homepage featured in the Green Team in The 512KB Club along with some others.
USTC Shanghai Visit
I was fortunate enough to be offered the possibility to write my master thesis at Prof. Xiao-Bo Zhu from the Division of Quantum Physics and Quantum Information at USTC . Before my decision, Prof. Zhu et. al. were so kind to give me a tour of their campus, lab and even clean room in Shanghai.
ISPF Editor Cheatsheet
EDIT : Supernova125 fixed the two commands a and b . Thanks for noticing and opening up a pull request. Today I stumbled upon an old GitHub repo and GitHub page that I created for a very niche text editor: the ISPF Editor 1 . I am very much into modal text editors. I love using vim, vi, Emacs etc. As I am fascinated by mainframes and worked in this field for a few years (this was such an…

Why NE555?
Why is this site called NE555.io? NE555 has been my goto username. As you are probably not aware, NE555 is a popular integrated circuit. The 555 timer IC can be used to time things, create pulses, delays and oscillations. It is the most sold IC in the world: To this day the 555 has been the best-selling IC every year, copied by numerous companies. page 143, chapter 11 'Timers and Oscillators' in…
New Peace
We live in one of the most peaceful times. Violence seems to decrease over time, but with upticks in recent years. Let’s hope this is not a reversal of the general trend.
Protein Intake
Protein is an important macro-nutrient and most of us should get at least 0.8g/kg of protein per day in our diet.
Migrating Hugo Static Site Deployment from GitHub Actions to Forgejo Workflows
I moved from GitHub to the private.coffee Forgejo instance. You can now find my latest projects and repos at git.private.coffee/NE555 . Porting my GitHub action to automatically build and deploy my static homepage using Hugo was a bit work. Here’s the old GitHub action to build and then deploy my homepage using GitHub pages: name : github pages on : push : branches : - master # Set a branch…
Poolsuite FM
Such a cool sweet small macOS application: Poolsuite FM . A little Soundcloud “radio” player. It fetches songs from Soundcloud and organizes them into well-curated playlists such as: Poolsuite FM Friday Nite Heat Balearic Sundown Indie Summer Hangover Club Tokyo Disco (← my favourite) The small Poolsuite FM macOS app. According to Wikipedia , the project originally started just as a…
