Two new additions to my self-hosted music setup today: Multi-Scrobbler: I created an account on ListenBrainz and now scrobble to Last.fm and ListenBrainz. Maybe I get more recommendations with accounts on both platforms. Multi-Scrobbler seems to be the perfect tool to keep the scrobbles in sync. Koito: A little...

For no apparent reason, I wasn’t in the best mood for the last few days, but today I planned to do a bike ride, and it paid off, as it often does. Riding while the sun is already setting is nice. Interactions & Comments

I haven’t soldered anything since school. When we decluttered the flat some years ago, I gave away all the soldering gear of my dad. But this year, I finally soldered again. I upgraded my electric toothbrush with a much bigger battery, going from an aging 700 mAh to 2300 mAh. As we have three of those Braun / Oral-B...

One year since I bought myself an Android tablet: the Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite. It was definitely worth it. I use it a lot. Mostly watching videos and reading the newspaper (which a little n8n workflow downloads every day from the library), but also the occasional web surfing and research session or writing blog...

I mentioned in my last monthly review that I’m currently switching from Deezer (my streaming alternative after the previous cheap YouTube Premium trick stopped working) to a self hosted music setup. I first tried Nextcloud Music, as I already have Nextcloud, a Storage Share at Hetzner, so I just created a new folder...

This bench doesn’t make any sense. Or does it? Interactions & Comments

There’s no way to deny it’s already autumn, even though it’s still 20 degrees. Interactions & Comments

And here we go again; another month has passed, and the year is flying by. Now that it’s getting colder again, even though there were a few warm days in between, I’ve only gone on my bike a few times. Let’s see if I can use all my cold-weather cycling gear again soon. Instead, I’ve dedicated more time to my tech...

Cory Dransfeldt published a list of inspirations for what to do to become worthless to tech companies. A lot probably sounds easier than it actually is nowadays, but anything is better than nothing, right? One of my ways to handle subscriptions is also to check if there’s some regional pricing available or tricks to...

When I’m on my bike and do a little evening tour, I often follow the same routes. Some variations here and there, but not too many. On Friday, I did more of a detour from my usual paths. I went along a beautiful lake in Braunschweig towards Wolfenbüttel and then through a little forest next to where I studied. After...

Just another addition to my ever-growing collection of headphones: the new Anker (soundcore) Liberty Buds 2. Just available for a few days, but just in time, the battery of the charging case of my Liberty 3 Pro starts to show its age and doesn’t want to charge fully anymore. I’m not yet 100% sure if I will keep...

I was in Bad Segeberg over the weekend to visit my grandmother, who lives with dementia. Interacting with her is always so demanding, as she constantly repeats how lonely she is and tells hurting stories about my grandfather’s and my father’s deaths. That those two are gone for ten and nine years already seems to be...
