  • What Mountaineering and Teams have in Common

    In business, it’s trust. Aki Kärkkäinen’s piece “From Rope Teams to Remote Teams” asks the real question: would you trust your team enough to share a rope? I really liked this paragraph: “I’m reminded of the pandemic when social distancing was introduced—an unfortunate term, because what was meant was actually physical distancing. Most companies obsess over physical proximity…

  • Have We Left Web Radio Behind?

    Since my decision to #unplugTrump, I have consciously moved away from Spotify. Instead, I chose to use Navidrome as my personal music server combined with Symfonium as the client. This setup allowed me to rediscover my own MP3 collection — a treasure of gems I hadn’t listened to in years! And I can tell: I really enjoyed…

  • Goodbye Facebook

    Finally! My Facebook account is deleted. My Facebook-Exit is a long story. I never really used it a lot. I used it mostly to have the possibility to contact some people. Especially from university when they went to other countries or so.

  • It’s all about solving problems!

    I am running this blog since 2009. The majority of the time it is dormant, and I mainly use it to document a solution that was hard to figure out and when I wished I had found it earlier. And in case that I have to solve the issue again, I know that I wrote…

  • Bookwyrm — One Month In

    A month ago, I wrote that I would like to try Bookwyrm (#Bookwyrm: a social network for tracking your reading, talking about books. More on https://joinbookwyrm.com). Now, one month and three books later, it might be a good time to write about my first impressions.

  • The Future is Federated – but not necessarily (fully) Self Hosted

    It’s not a secret that I am quite a fan of the #Fediverse and getting more independent of a few Big Tech Companies and getting control back.

  • How to get the ‘<‘, ‘>’ and ‘|’ keys on a Dell Latitude 5300

    Since a while I am using a refurbed Dell Latitude 5300. I’m pretty happy with it. Just recently I was doing some stuff via SSH on my RaspberryPIs when I noticed that the Dell’s keyboard does not contain the ‘<‘ key. Not a big deal usually – just Linux Shell working is quite uncool without…

  • How to solve weird Docker Errors on Ubuntu

    After being so happy about all the services that I brought up last weekend, I forgot to do one thing: rebooting. Today I rebooted for some reason and the containers didn’t came up again.

  • Welcome Wireguard (It’s really always DNS)

    Today I commuted to work and of course wanted to try my new #Navidrome setup that I wrote about before. And – it didn’t work :-( It couldn’t resolve the host name. DNS – again!

  • Migration, Containers and … It’s always DNS, really

    As I wrote in my previous post, I have a new member in the home server environment: The Lenovo ThinkCenter Mini Computer! Right after getting Ubuntu up and running on it, I began the process of easing the workload on my #RaspberryPi. PiHole had been flagging high CPU load a couple of times already, especially…
