Can I trust Cloudflare's DNS not to spy on me? Thinking the family safe service is a nice idea, but could not find their privacy policy.

Had another great time at the Staufenplatz Osterkirmes fun-fair today with the family. Enjoying this Easter holiday all-things-considering.

We had a great Easter-weekend with the family! So fortunate that we can enjoy life like this in peace.

Anyone know Ukrainian's that need digital space for keeping files safe? I have an FTP server hosted in the Netherlands and I can give away 3 times 10 GB (30 GB). It's not a huge space, but it might be enough to keep some family data safe? PM me if interested.

I think I am in shock. Cannot concentrate much on work. This war is getting too close to my home. Today I went to help out an Ukrainian refugee family who are staying in a hotel nearby. Two kids, including grandma. Got them a clothing shop gift certificate and bought some coloring and sticker books and a box of Legos they can take with them as they find somewhere safe to stay. Something normal. Some chocolate too as Easter is coming. Then I see the articles and pictures on the news and Twitter and I catch myself thinking: What the heck am I doing? Less than a day's driving away from my own house people are dying in a war, cities are destroyed. And for what??? Stop this inhumanity and madness!

Really impressed with YunoHost and NextCloud as a solution for our family online presence.

You keep your passwords and secrets secure in a password manager. But what happens when you lose access to the password manager, or when something bad happens to you and your family needs access to something really important only you knew the secret password for? I use a DiceKey. https://dicekeys.com/

What I've realized in the last year is that social media is very overrated. Family and real life friends matter more than any digital-only connection.

Had a great family weekend! Having an almost four year old tell you he loves you is the best feeling in the world.

Family is everything.

Donated blood at the Düsseldorf Uniklinik with the family today. Happy it worked out as the last time was June 2020...

Never-ever store irreplaceable family valuables in a basement or sou-terrain if you have the option. Today, I witnessed the utter destruction of a flooded basement full of family relics and memorabilia, two weeks after the flooding. Photo albums, photo slides and a projector, nothing stands the test of being submerged in water and being left in a damp moldy basement. Not even a model rail-way ...

Was feeling a bit down but watching some family videos and pictures from last year brightened me up. Good night.

Currently burning 81GB worth of family pictures on to a 100GB M-Disc Blue Ray disc.The process will take 2,5 hours to complete.

Had a great day at the Leverkusen Neuland park and the Langenfeld Wasserski place with my family!

A beloved colleague passed away after a terrible car accident a couple of days ago. My thoughts go to her family and colleagues.

Enjoying a great spring day in Köln with the family.

Had a great Easter day with my family; we didn't leave the house - but enjoyed the chocolates and had a lot of fun with the new toys the Easter Bunny brought in exchange for my son's pacifiers. He was really brave about giving the pacifiers to the Easter Bunny so the new babies could also have theirs. So proud of him.

Tomorrow my family is finally going to visit a zoo again!

This week is turning out to be one of those periods where it would be really nice to have family nearby.
