Despite all the swearing, the dramatic rollback, and the heartfelt threats to abandon Zola entirely, it turns out the frustration didn’t survive the night. Less than 24 hours later, the site is fully migrated to Tera 2, components and all. Source: MonkeyUser It wasn’t magic; it was stubbornness. I… ## [Twenty Minutes My Ass: A Zola Upgrade Story](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/a-zola-upgrade-story/) _2026-08-17 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ TL;DR: A frustrated dive into Zola’s jump to Tera 2 — where macros vanish, shortcodes die, components misbehave, and a “20‑minute migration” turns into hours of template chaos. Spoiler: I rolled back to 0.22.1. As the footer politely reminds everyone, this static site is generated via Zola — and has been for a couple of years now. I’ve never had a real reason to complain. Sure, a few hiccups here… ## [When WPA3 Meets the MT7922: A Story Told Entirely Through Packet Loss](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/when-wpa3-meets-mt7922/) _2026-08-02 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ TL;DR: The MediaTek MT7922 supports WPA3 the same way I support marathon running: enthusiastically in theory, catastrophically in practice. Disable WPA3, disable PMF, avoid WPA3‑only hotspots, and don’t trust the card when it says “Connected.” That’s it. That’s the plot. Future Meets Reality There’s a special kind of joy in buying a modular, repairable laptop like the Framework 13 . You feel like… ## [Snapshots & Serendipity: 0x03](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/snapshots-and-serendipity-july-2026/) _2026-07-29 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Here’s another visual mixtape from the past couple of months — apparently I took a brief sabbatical from posting. As before, no themes, no filters; just whatever life threw at me while I wasn’t paying full attention. Shortly after relocating to Lucerne, I stumbled across a burger shop in the main station called Holy Cow . One bite of their Yo Ginza — Swiss beef, teriyaki sauce, wasabi mayo,… ## [Hyperlink Havoc: Edition 0x03](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/hyperlink-havoc-003/) _2026-07-12 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ This edition is a tour through the usual chaos: fonts committing crimes, AI pretending to be management, retro‑tech experiments nobody asked for, and corporations reminding us that ownership is mostly a polite fiction. It’s a tidy little sampler of the internet’s ongoing weirdness — equal parts clever, cursed, and begrudgingly impressive. Dive in and enjoy the nonsense. Bumsrakete Most… ## [Re: Trailing Dots Are The Worst](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/re-trailing-dots-are-the-worst/) _2026-06-28 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Daniel recently published an article about why trailing dots are his worst enemies and the issues curl had to wrestle with while handling them. The technical challenges he lays out make perfect sense, but one comment he made deserves a bit more nuance. A reader asked whether curl should simply return an error instead of stripping the trailing dot. Daniel replied: Since it is accepted by the… ## [Hyperlink Havoc - 2nd Edition](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/hyperlink-havoc-002/) _2026-06-12 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Welcome back to Hyperlink Havoc — the ongoing experiment where I pretend to have control over my browser tabs. At this point you know the format: I dive in, you brace yourself, and together we surf the wreckage of my link‑hoarding habits. Your CEO is suffering from AI psychosis by Jake Handy Excellent write‑up on the current wave of AI brain rot sweeping through executive circles — that magical… ## [Self-Hosting, Because Why Not?](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/self-hosting-because-why-not/) _2026-06-12 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Every now and then I toy with the idea of self‑hosting this page again instead of relying on Codeberg Pages — and, most likely unnoticed by any of you, I’ve actually gone ahead and migrated everything to a VPS from Infomaniak . Partly because the self‑hosting itch never really goes away, and partly because Codeberg Pages occasionally gave me grief: full outages, or the site randomly becoming… ## [Hyperlink Havoc](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/hyperlink-havoc/) _2026-05-08 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Hyperlink Havoc is basically the classic link dump you’ve probably seen on other people’s pages — only this one is curated by me, filled with things I’ve read and found interesting or resonant in some way. I plan to publish one every now and then, but don’t expect a weekly cadence; I’m either too lazy, too busy, or both. In any case, feel free to dive into the depths of the web and see what caught… ## [In a Nutshell: Long Time No See Edition](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/in-a-nutshell-long-time-no-see-edition/) _2026-04-16 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Source: Unsplash Phew — it’s been a while since my last post. Truth be told, I just didn’t feel like writing anything for a bit. But don’t let that fool you into thinking nothing happened around here. Behind the scenes, there’s been plenty of tinkering: updating pages like Shows and Uses , and even adding a few new ones like Concerts and a shiny little Top 4 . The most noticeable change is… ## [Trade Smarter With IBKR (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/xZs3L0yPTfis) _2026-04-16 · **Sponsored**_ Join Interactive Brokers through a referral and access low-cost global trading. ## [Snapshots & Serendipity: A Fortnight of Unfiltered Moments](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/snapshots-and-serendipity-november-2025/) _2025-11-18 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Here’s another visual mixtape from the past couple of weeks. As before, there are no themes or filters; just spontaneous slices of life captured in passing. And yes, it’s mildly embarrassing, but after four long years I’ve finally picked a new bike. I technically own two already, but they’re still hibernating in a basement in Germany: one needs a full resurrection, and the other is a Analog… ## [Have You Been Drrrrinkin?](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/have-you-been-drrrrinkin/) _2025-10-15 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ I created my PlayStation Network account back when I got my PS4, and every now and then I like to change my profile image. Nothing exotic — just a normal user doing a normal thing I’ve done multiple times before. This time, though, I ran into a perfect specimen of bad UX. To change my profile image, I had to sign in to my PlayStation Network account. Fine. Expected. But during the sign‑in process,… ## [Proton Pass vs. Publii](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/proton-pass-vs-publii/) _2025-10-01 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Of course, I don’t intend to compare a password manager with a desktop application for static sites. However, these two clash when upgrading on my Fedora . I tried to update the latter to the latest version. I primarily use Proton Pass to manage my passwords and share some of them with family members these days. Publii is a desktop application that provides a CMS -like experience for static… ## [Floating Button Mystery](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/floating-button-mystery/) _2025-09-16 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Every now and then, you come across an issue that is completely beyond your comprehension. To quote Rule 15 of “Rules of the Internet”: The harder you try, the harder you will fail. One issue I encountered is related to the floating “back to top” button I recently added to my blog. While it generally works fine, one browser acts funky, though not always. The funky browser in question is Ironfox 1… ## [One does zoom (kind of)](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/one-does-zoom-kind-of/) _2025-09-08 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ This is a quick update on the zooming issue I mentioned in my last post . In the meantime, version 3.1.2 of /e/os has been released, which contains a fix for the issue. Zooming in the camera app now works, at least somewhat. However, the issue described in the bug report, where the camera app crashes after moving up and down the zoom level a few times, made it into the release. I’ve also… ## [One does not simply zoom](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/one-does-not-simply-zoom/) _2025-09-03 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Last weekend I was going for a short trip to the Truebsee , a lake which is just below the Titlis peak. While being there I wanted to take a few quick pictures of the current state of the lake and a few other things and therefore I wanted to zoom in on some details. You won’t believe how suprised I have been that I could not zoom in the camera app of my Fairphone 6 running /e/os . I… ## [UBS, go home, you're drunk](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/ubs-go-home-youre-drunk/) _2025-08-28 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Switching to a new mobile device is always exciting! This is certainly true because it’s a new device, and you are usually thrilled to have it. Another reason is the slight feeling of unease that comes with wondering if all your data is making it over from the old device to the new one. One might assume that, in 2025, this would be an easy process. While this is mostly true if you store all your… ## [Privacy Policy](https://stoerdebegga.org/privacy/) _2025-01-12 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Do you know the difference between education and experience? Education is when you read the fine print; experience is what you get when you don't. Pete Seeger The owner of stoerdebegga.org takes the privacy and security of your information seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how any personal information would be collected, used, or disclosed — if any were collected in the first place. For… ## [Default Apps 2024 - Sort Of](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/default-apps-2024-sort-of/) _2025-01-08 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ A lot of people have joined the party to post their default applications for the end of 2024, which you may have seen popping up here and there. Since I actually maintain a uses page, I will just focus on some of the more significant changes I made during the year. Terminal Emulator I have been using kitty as my terminal emulator for several years. The image preview as well as the tiling… ## [/e/os easy-installer, my ass](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/eos-easy-installer-my-ass/) _2025-01-07 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Before I got my current phone, a Fairphone 4, I used to use a OnePlus 7t, which was pretty much on the shelf since I switched, but for various reasons I had to reactivate the phone. The phone’s hardware is in perfect condition, and you won’t really notice that it’s been a daily driver for a long time. Where it clearly shows its age is in the lack of system updates that the devices still receive.… ## [International money transfers (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/7mUx3oSBIjPp) _2025-01-07 · **Sponsored**_ Send money to other countries and manage multi‑currency balances online. ## [re: silly questions for fun](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/re-silly-questions-for-fun/) _2025-01-02 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ I came across this post by monocyte , which is a response to the questionnaire set up by Dabi . It looked like fun, so here are my answers. The Questions Do you believe in aliens? If you have to dress in just one color for the rest of your life, what would it be? Favorite random fact that you know. Childhood dream. If you have to be a teacher, which subject would you teach? If you were an… ## [Most Used CLI commands in 2024](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/most-used-cli-commands-2024/) _2025-01-01 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Source: Unsplash Inspired by Chris DeLuca’s post about his most used command line commands, I did a little digging into my shell history and crunched some numbers. While checking the ZSH history of my desktop, I noticed that it only contained entries starting in May 1, 2024. It seems I had deleted the history file before that for unknown reasons or it’s related to the set history size, but at… ## [November 2024 in a Nutshell](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/november-2024-in-a-nutshell/) _2024-12-13 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Holy Moly! It is almost mid-December and I am obviously late with the November Nutshell post. November was pretty packed and it feels like it just flew by, so apologies for the late addition. Packed is the perfect keyword: my snow shovel has been packed too. I can’t remember when I’ve shoveled so much snow in the last decade. We had a record-breaking 42cm of fresh snow in about 12 hours in… ## [Dev, go home, you're drunk](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/dev-go-home-youre-drunk/) _2024-11-22 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ I’m certainly no stranger to developing web-based user interfaces or websites, something which I had been doing for the better part of my career though I also have to admit that my knowledge might be a little dated nowadays. For this blog I make use of a moderate amount of CSS and it seemed that I discovered another glitch in Brave, but this time on Android (/e/OS to be exact) instead of… ## [Brave, go home, you're drunk](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/brave-go-home-youre-drunk/) _2024-11-18 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Lately I was tinkering with the CSS of my blog a lot. As part of that process I also tested how it displays in my main browsers on the desktop ( Librewolf , Brave ) as well as my personal mobile (Brave, Mull ). I couldn’t identify any major differences. More out of curiosity I also checked the browsers on my employer sponsored company phone which is an iPhone for a variety of reasons on which I do… ## [GDM Login at 200% after Fedora 41 Update](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/gdm-login-at-200-percent/) _2024-10-31 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ While the update to the latest Fedora release has been smooth as always, there is a minor scaling issue occuring afterwards. The GDM login as well as the actual Desktop had been set to a different scale level than compared to prior the update. In my case the desktop was set to 125% while the login screen got scaled up to 200%. The desktop scaling can be easily changed in the settings, but the… ## [October 2024 in a Nutshell](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/october-2024-in-a-nutshell/) _2024-10-31 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ Source: Unsplash Reading It definitely took me way too long, but I managed to carve out some time to finish this very entertaining piece of fiction that Kurt Vonneguts’ Galápagos is. You might remember that I mentioned Murderbot a while ago and I figured that I have missed out on Fugitive Telemetry by Martha Wells so far. I’m just some 30 pages in so far, but yeah, the vibe is strong. Watching… ## [September 2024 in a Nutshell](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/september-2024-in-a-nutshell/) _2024-10-02 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ September somewhat passed in a blink of an eye and I do not have the feeling that I actually achieved anything of note. There certainly was a lot of work related items and the flag football department kept me busy as well, but ultimately we kicked of the U13 trainings, settled the plans for U16 and finally got a way forward with the Ladies team. Slowly but surely pieces are falling into its… ## [August 2024 in a Nutshell](https://stoerdebegga.org/posts/august-2024-in-a-nutshell/) _2024-09-09 · stoerdebegga · stoerdebegga_ What’s the saying? Better late than never? Recreation. That’s exactly how my August began, with a three-week vacation of which I spent ten days in the south of Kassandra, Chalkidiki, Greece, mainly on the beach. I’ve been really craving for some sun and more importantly ocean. Though there are a lot of lakes for swimming around in Switzerland, I figured that I really missed the ocean, the smell,…
