Grateful for my little family and being able to enjoy life as much as possible over the weekend. We have our own problems, but fortunately nothing we cannot handle. Standing still for a moment to reflect that. You never know when the table gets flipped over.

It is finally happening! In our family, we seem to have about the same amount of USB TYPE-C devices as micro USB ones, with a small number of Iphone lightning connector still to go...

The backup file of our family Whatsapp group, including videos, is about 7GB large. Good thing we can still locally backup the files to other systems.

And we're almost all sick again in my family.

Went to see the first Ice Hockey game with my five year old and family tonight ever. Our team lost, but the experience will last for sure.

Input:

Tell me a story about a bear family, a girl, their porridge, their chairs and their beds.

Output:

Once upon a time, in a forest far, far away, there lived a family of bears. There was Mama Bear, Papa Bear, and Baby Bear. The bears lived in a cozy little cottage in the woods, and they were very happy together.

One day, a little girl named Goldilocks stumbled upon the bears' cottage while she was out for a walk. She knocked on the door and, when no one answered, she let herself in.

Inside, Goldilocks saw three bowls of porridge on the table. She tasted the porridge in the first bowl and it was too hot. She tasted the porridge in the second bowl and it was too cold. But when she tasted the porridge in the third bowl, it was just right!

After she finished her porridge, Goldilocks saw three chairs in the living room. She sat in the first chair and it was too hard. She sat in the second chair and it was too soft. But when she sat in the third chair, it was just right!

Feeling tired, Goldilocks went upstairs to see if she could take a nap. She saw three beds in the bedroom. She lay down on the first bed and it was too hard. She lay down on the second bed and it was too soft. But when she lay down on the third bed, it was just right!

Just as Goldilocks was drifting off to sleep, she heard a loud noise. It was the bears, who had come home and were shocked to find a strange little girl in their house. Goldilocks woke up with a start and, realizing that she had overstayed her welcome, she quickly gathered her things and ran out of the cottage.

The bears never saw Goldilocks again, but they always remembered the little girl who had eaten their porridge, sat in their chairs, and slept in their beds. And from that day on, they made sure to lock their door whenever they left the house, just in case another unexpected visitor came by.

Sharing the Earthstar Encryption Project again.

> Earthstar is a tool for building undiscoverable, offline-first shared data storage. Users decide which devices their data are stored on, what the infrastructure of their network looks like, the shape of their data, and how they can interact with it.

> Storing and collaborating digital data is an essential part of every day computing, from photo-sharing amongst family members, to document co-authoring between colleagues. Earthstar is a tool for building undiscoverable, offline-first shared data storage. Users decide which devices their data are stored on, what the infrastructure of their network looks like, the shape of their data, and how they can interact with it. The proposed project adds a number of useful features, notably end-to-end encryption (including metadata), P2P discovery in local networks and efficient data synchronisation.

How King Charles Turned His Royal Estate Into a Lucrative Portfolio - The New York Times

Why is the Royal British family so popular? They live in their own made-up world full of riches without having to pay taxes, where everyone else exists to serve them.

We're back at work! Had a really good time enjoying an actual vacation at Cavallino Tre Porte in Italy. Our family beach holiday in a fantastic camp site was the best time of this year for now! Hoping everyone else gets a change to enjoy this too somehow where ever they might be.

So not to have this previous post as my last post: I am happy to have made a nice Python "picture uploader" app for our family pictures. Thanks to Flask it was only a matter of finding some good tutorials and articles and the thing actually works.

Highly recommend the NEMO museum in Amsterdam - our 4-year old and the whole family loved it!

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!
