So, the weekend can start now.

Had a great time with my son this afternoon - he's getting really fast on his little bike - becoming harder to keep up with him! Should tell him soon how the gear-shifter works. Want to wait because it'll only make him faster when he figures it out.

Giving up on IPFS - at least for a while - having too many issues lately with the software and nobody is pinning my stuff anyway.

Happy Birthday Albert Einstein!

Getting to know and learning to play Go (or Baduk or Weiqi) while on the train to München is not a bad way to spend ones time. Can't believe I am 43 years already and never had really tried it before.

I would really like to ditch Windows, but my scanner needs are not allowing me to do this yet just yet.

Is there a solution for a real world problem we could build today using Earthstar Project that would help people in need?

Only a mere 1000 kms away from where I am sitting people are killing each other with battle tanks - while I am looking at smashing bugs in software - and I don't know how to really feel about this.

I don't think anybody would miss my personal "homepage" site but myself. Having one of those pessimistic moments where I am thinking - is having an online "presence" even and at all worth it for me? What is it really contributing to the Internet? I have some visitors, which I see through good old AwStats, but am I making their day or providing them with an answer to a longing question? Probably not...

Supported #Keyoxide with a small contribution through their Ko-fi page. Since I have been using it as a way to confirm my online identities, and it is entirely donation funded, I figured it was time for me to chip in as well.

One of the aspects I love about the #Mastodon servers or instances is that every server's content and all the author's public posts can be visited, read and seen online in any web browser without "register to see more nags" - it's open Web as it should be!

Had a good time at the "Roh Comedy club English edition" in Düsseldorf last night. Some really talented comedians and musicians. The place was full and the laughter sincere. https://rohcomedy.de

Really love the theme song of Lockwood & Co by BadBadNotGood - "Can't leave the night" is perfect for this kind haunting ghost Eighties vibe song

Super proud of our five year old - he was super tired after kita, and didn't really feel like doing this sport first. After some time and after eating a banana, he picked himself up and gave it his best. He is amazing.

I can't really place Satya Nadella's accent.

We're supporting the Red Cross with some cash and hoping aid can come quickly to the people in the devastated areas after the earthquake hit Turkey and Syria. Also looking into other ways on how to help.

Got one of those fancy steamer cleaning devices for my birthday - thanks mom - and now I am going to steam-clean the sh** off of everything! #usaexpressions

There is something really liberating with using command line interfaces to interact with an application. No fancy and distracting UIs or complex build tools. Just a cursor, some input and useful output. Allows you to focus on getting the task done.

Had a weird dream in which somebody won a 160 million Euro and I, winning 10€, yes only 10, had to both stand on a stage to be officially handed over the price. The money came in a box and a single, brand new banknote.

I am using Earthstar Project's user_scripts in my Timekeeper tool. Programmed using Typescript and using the Deno runtime. It is super nice how I have multiple copies of the data generated by the app. The data is stored within the Earthstar "share" first of course. Then I sync the data with a local dir, which also allows me to edit the data from any editor I have. Then I can easily sync that same data with a remote Earthstar replica, For backup I regularily make a quick zip file backup on an USB stick. All from the command line and without hassle. Oh and I forgot I also keep a replica on another PC, where I can also edit the data which then can sync back.
