And with slowly I mean slowly to the point where it actually not bothering me enough to take action immediatly… Did you ever had that? A piece of Hardware slowly losing it’s reliability but refuses to die properly. It just dies enough to bother but not fully so you actually need to spend money and solve it. Maybe it’s a me problem, but I refuse to replace tech which is actually…
well, not exactly a normal anime recommendation but close. Still so different that even people who normally skip anime stuff can give it a look. Really, a small piece of man made animation that deserves some minutes of your time if you haven’t heard of it yet. milky☆subway was made by yohei kameyama. he first did a 4 minute short called milky☆highway back in 2022 as his graduation project at…
Another small this and that post. Blog Stuff I decided to remove all web fonts from my blog. At the end it was nearly 500Kb just for a slightly different font. Well, I used self-hosted WOFF2 Fonts. Nevertheless, tiny is better. Also at the footer of each post I integrated a webmention display via webmention.io. And last but not least, I updated the /uses page. Home Desktop Win Free 1st of may is a…
As I wrote before, recently I got myself a XTEINK X4, even the blogpost is not that old I got it a little more than a week ago. After using it active several days I can really say the size is the big win and the best argument for this eBook reader. I really keep the habbit to have it in my pocket beside my wallet. It is so tiny it doesn’t hurt and I found myself using it more and more if I…
I mean isn’t it a totaly adult and viable decision to directly buy a tech thing after you read a bunch of blogs writing about it? Yeah, absolutely :) And as some of the Podcasts I listen also mentioned this one I was sold. As you can see on Bubbles how this is really in everyones “mouth” in the last days. What the… ? Well the XTEINK X4 isn’t just a regular boring…
Minor Blog Extensions First I added asciinema support to better show some console stuff. ASCIInema allows to record a terminal session in text and replay it as text. So no wasteful GIF or blurry MP4 for just text. You can see the first use of it in this blog in my FZF SSH Parser Article. Then inspired by Naty I also implemented humans.txt [?] and human.json [?] standards to this blog. Im not so…
What it does… As said, fzf is my go to for great shell search and tui’s. Basically add a fuzzy search to everyting you can imagine. But this is not what I want to write about, today I want to show another usecase of fzf in combination with my fish shell. I start using fzf as a SSH config tui. It allows me to type ssh + space and the basically type any hostname or alias from within my…
This short Article is in addition to my Pockethernet V2 Review I posted last year December. At the time of writing the original Article there was a announced BER Loop Adapter and ID Plugs but not available at that time. Now some time later this changed and I clicked them in the official Pockethernet store. Brief preface; I am neither sponsored by Pockethernet nor have I received anything for free;…
What is Karakeep? Well, I’ll write an extra blog article about it soon, so in short: It’s a self-hosted open-source bookmark manager with a cloud-hosted option available. I work on multiple devices and browsers, and the integrated browser bookmark management is not ideal for my workflow. Karakeep (formerly named Hoarder) solves this problem and adds lots of useful features, such as an…
Not an lenghy Article, just posting my findings for whoever may need it. The Hardware: i-tec USB-C 4K Metall Nano Docking Station Named by the bulky name i-tec USB-C 4K Metall Nano Docking Station 1x HDMI 1x GLAN 3x USB 3.0 1x SD/MicroSD 1x Audio Power Delivery 100W I found mine on Amazon. Port-wise, it has what I need. Mostly I use this kind of light dock if I work remotely or at events to attach…
signal on Linux offer the way to store your encryption key in your system walled (encrypted) or local as plain-text unencrypted. Actually if you use a full disk encryption a clean text key isn’t a huge issue. But nevertheless to give it a bit more secure feeling I wanted to use KWalletD to store the signal key encrypted. Signal now even prompt you with a question if you want to do so or not.…
Currently I use as my productivity working device a Tuxedo Laptop, the Infinity book pro 14". It is about 1.5yrs old and started acting up in december when it comes to battery. The Battery sometimes was overnight discharging to 0% even the laptop was powered off. Also it showed a reduced maximal capacity. In Linux you can check your battery stats quickly with upower -b the old battery looked like…
