I’ve recently been experimenting with how generative AI can support Linux debugging. The experience was both impressive and frustrating — depending on whether I was diagnosing or actually fixing a problem.

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 when the real challenge is connection distance.”
And further on, Aki also draws the line to AI tooling. Give it a read!
(Well okay, and I liked the parallels of teamwork and hiking ;-))
Oh and I just noticed that Aki is on Mastodon as well: @akikoo@mastodon.social!

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 the feeling of reconnecting with my personal music library.

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 it down here and don’t have to rely on some other website being online in a year or two when I come back to the same problem again.

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 the ‘>’ and the pipe ‘|’ characters.

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!
