I was very inspired by this post from a few days ago, and decided to have a go at something along those lines for myself but for macOS and my Paper Pure. What is it? Inkbridge is a small terminal tool that turns the reMarkable into a pressure-sensitive drawing tablet for your Mac, over USB or Wi-Fi. It supports...

Doing those CMS updates. Updating Ubuntu on the server. Upgrading your PHP version. Upgrading the database. Getting rid of deprecation notices. Making sure all backups are running as they should. No stuck queues, no stopped daemons or cron jobs. Deployments still running smoothly. Its boring work, but I think it's...

I've written before about the case for ephemeral workstations, and more recently about how I use Ubuntu Server, Herdr, Mosh and Tailscale. The whole setup is basically what is called a Thin client. In computer networking, a thin client is a simple, low-performance computer that has been optimized for remote desktop...

The last year I have been experimenting a lot with my computer setup. I used both Omakub and Omarchy for a while, and even tried Windows(!) and plain Ubuntu. All of the experimenting inevitably made me end up with the following setup: Macbook + Ubuntu Server, using Mosh, Herdr and Tailscale. Why back to MacOS? As...

Note to self. I've had the joy of bringing a few sites live the last days, and in one case it was a multi-site with 7 different domains. During the process I needed a simple overview of the DNS propagation status. Before I've used online sites for this kind of stuff, but this time i reached for a CLI way instead,...

I wonder if the price hikes across the board on tech (memory, storage etc.) result in an increased focus on longevity and using devices for longer. Both on consumer level, but also on corporate level with updated policies to save costs. If so, I'm here for it. Of course the reason behind it is not great, but the...

Bastian Allgeier talked about "brain lock-in" on his podcast interview with Working Draft and it stuck a bit with me. It came out from the discussions about "vendor lock-ins" when building software (Kirby CMS in this case) and the need to be cautious about building in dependencies, but Bastian interestingly extended...

Rafael Nadal at his best was incredible. The elegance of Roger Federer too. The dominance of Serena Williams and Novak Djokovic in their prime was equally impressive. Still, someone amazing in his own right, and far less known, is Mansour Bahrami. A successful doubles player hailed as "the Trick Shot King", he isn't...

Payment terminals, ATMs, Amazon, international transfers, currency exchange apps. Whenever you get the choice, never agree to an automatic currency conversion. It's called Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC), and it works like an airport exchange booth bolted onto the payment. The terminal or ATM operator sets the...

For a really long time I was using the same setup for development. Basically a macbook and Sublime text. Then using DDEV for Craft CMS sites, and Laravel Herd for Kirby or general PHP/static sites. But things started to change when I dove into Omarchy late summer 2025. I really started to play with the idea of...

One of the main issues I've had so far, is that I sometimes want to add a file from my mac to the remarkable, and still be able to interact with the graphical elements of it on the reMarkable. Simple example: Adding a pdf page with a circle as a pdf to the reMarkable only makes it a passive background layer by...

It took me a long time to make the jump, but I finally did, and my god is the reMarkable tablet a joyful product. My long time colleague and friend have used the devices since they first came out, and have always been raving about them, but I always felt I have enough devices and my needs were met on the note-taking...
