My first car was (is) a old 60's Opel, and it made me spoiled as a car owner. Calling it reliable is disingenuous, but with a bit of finagling - you'd always arrive eventually. No central locking to fail, no locking at all actually, someone has gone with a hammer to the lock. No worries though, not like you'd be...

Some thoughts about Please let me interact with your blog post! You can probably tell from my blog that I am quite asthetically spartan. I am a huge believer in function over form, and while that doesn't mean that I complete disregard form, I find pages that refuse to stay still very anoying. I don't want text to...

Response to My writing is not 100% organic anymore I am so tired of posts about AI, so I'll try to write about everything besides it. Believe it or not, I am not a native english speaker either. When I started blogging, I also used a LLM to proof read. I used it to help me formulate myself. It made my posts...

I've been playing through KCD I again (for the 3rd time) and the biggest problem is that I really want to play the second one. Not because the first game is bad, it's really good. It's just that the second is even better. I'll keep this post mostly spoiler free, but I'll speak of the story in vauge terms, just so...

And that was that vacation. I had two goals, build a fence, and complete (or atleast make good progress on) my thesis. Managed both quite well, but writing on my thesis really hampered my vacation. Every morning I actually had some motivation to do some chores, organize stuff, clean my fridge, stuff like that, but I...

Related Post: You Should Try A Framework That Doesn't Hold Your Hand This is probably going to be a bit of a incoherent ramble. I'm trying to convey a vibe why I find more open libraries and frameworks easier. I have been tinkering with programming for atleast ten years. I have started a huge amount of projects, and...

Friday is my last working day before a four week vacation. Since this is my first year as a full-time employee, rather than on a hourly basis, I don't have any vacation days saved, so I'll take a shorter vacation this year. I'd like to keep a rainy day fund of vacation-days. Being an adult however, it feels like...

I try to commute to work via bus as much as I can. My local bus-stop is in the middle of the local village center. There is also a small store next to this busstop, where tourists tend to congregate. And next to this store, there is a household who have a dog. This dog (a german shepard) is not a dumb dog. This dog...

I'm getting stuck in draft hell... I need to make simpler posts again... I've been yearning for a proper car-pg, something with a slow, difficult campaign/career mode. Most people would point to blackbox era NFS or PS2/3 era Grand Turismo, but I am a late zoomer, and such I have no nostalgia for these games. I hate...

Did you know that hakkerman.eu was down for about a day? Probably not, but it was. This was caused by a quick power outage, and I have done nothing to make sure it doesnt happen again. It would probably be easy, I need to make sure that all the relevant network interfaces start up automatically and start forwarding...

My thoughts on 📦 Don't put yourself in a box My personal mantra regarding blogging has since the beginning been that I am doing this for myself. That's not to say that you, dear reader, are unimportant. But if a writing a post didn't help me get something of my mind, help me grow or help me refine my ideas, then it...

In response to In the Battle for Attention I want to start with that I generally agree with this post, however I want to espouse some positivity aswell. Currently there is a strong growth in the indie web. More blogs are being created than are currently dying, and not only that; there is genuine enthusiasm for this...
