I write about my technical adventures, such as developing my own blogging software, and other topics that interest me as a software developer. However, I also enjoy documenting my life, from bike tours to everyday moments that I want to share.

One of the topics I am currently investing a bit more research in, given my recent move to cut my hair, is razors, shaving, skull shaving, shaving blades, electric shavers, and everything around that. I even created a subpage listing the...
Whether I stroll through the park, cycle through the countryside, or simply take a short break on a bench outdoors, the sight of the green nature has an incredibly calming effect on me. My mood improves instantly. And the best part: all...
Yesterday evening, I finally did the last step and shaved off the remaining few millimeters of hair on my head. This morning, I took the chance and prompted a new avatar that represents my current style. I know, AI-generated stuff...
I knew of the existence of paperless-ngx for a long time. A new YouTube video now finally gave me the push to set up an instance on my VPS. It’s configured to use Bunny.net storage using S3 and rclone for the media files, and a restic...
I usually do my bike tours after work or on the weekend during the day. Yesterday, I did it in the evening. It was very nice, and some views (sadly, the camera on my bike phone isn’t that great) felt quite epic. I also managed to drink...
Today I took my camera again and tried some other motives in nature. This swan was one of them. I activated RAW images and tried to do some lite editing, first with Darktable, but then I chose RawTherapee, as that tries to adjust the...
I bought a new (used) camera on eBay. A Panasonic LUMIX G91 (also known as G90 or G95) with the LUMIX 14-140mm f3.5-5.6 lense. I took it for a short walk around the block and quite like the results so far, but I definitely have to get...
I will mostly post about the places we visited on our honeymoon on the German part of this blog, but for you to enjoy, here are the photos from the first post. 🏞️ Interactions & Comments
While I mainly used the PDF reader integrated into Firefox on Android to view PDFs on my phone so far, I now have a new favorite PDF reader. What bugged me about the reader in Firefox was especially the performance when viewing big PDFs...
And here we go again; another month has flown by. July was a particularly eventful month for me and my wife. The first half of the month was filled with preparations for the wedding, in addition to the usual annual tax return: ordering...
The second part with the free wedding ceremony is now also finished. It was such a nice day, thanks to everyone who was there, helped, and made this day the best day in our lives! Cheers on our love and now also our marriage! 🥂♥️...
I have a use case where I need to copy files from Nextcloud to S3 storage using my phone, and I think I finally found the perfect apps for this. While I use rclone on my PC, I wasn’t aware of any app for this on Android. But there...
It’s official, we’re married! 💍 Part 1 is finished, second part on Saturday. 👰♀️🤵♂️ Interactions & Comments
Some time ago I resubscribed to Komoot Premium using some tricks to get it cheaper. But I don’t use Komoot to track my rides or even manage them there (OsmAnd is still my favorite app for that!); I just use it to plan them, especially on...
And here we are again, another half year has passed. Time to take a quick look back at my June. Well, not much actually happened … There was my trip to the office. I was in Schwäbisch Hall for a few days for the planning workshop that...
