Front 242 - Headhunter (Official Video) - YouTube -

Never actually saw the kalimero inspired video from one of the best Front 242 anthems, before until just now.

Over the course of a day, the talented band Kalush Orchestra has literally come from one of the happiest places and moments in the World, to one of the most dangerous to be in today, the front-lines in Ukraine, where they defend their home country from a brutal invader.

I will protect you
Stand in the way
I'm a defender
Come what may
Do as you please to
I'll see that you do
Only take notice when
I'm in front of you
I will protect you
Stand in the way
I'm a defender
Come what may
Do as you please to
I'll see that you do
Only take notice when
I'm in front of you
I will protect you
Stand in the way
I'm a defender
Come what may
Do as you please to
I'll see that you do
Only take notice when
I'm in front of you
I will protect you
Stand in the way
I'm a defender
Come what may
Do as you please to
I'll see that you do
Only take notice when
I'm in front of you
I will protect you
Stand in the way
I'm a defender
Come what may
Do as you please to
I'll see that you do
Only take notice when
I'm in front of you
Don't stand so close to the edge (I will protect you)
You know I'm a warrior (Stand in the way)
Images fly through my head (I'm a defender)
What's this scenario? (Come what may)
Let me stand near you, attend (Do as you please to)
I'll be your barrier (I'll see that you do)
See that you couldn't defend (Only take notice when)
But you know I'm a warrior

Maybe we shouldn't want a fully decentralized web

I spent a large part of 2019 working with the distributed and decentralized web, especially IPFS, also known as the “Inter-Planetary File System”. I’ve written a few articles on the topic, on how you can host a web app on IPFS, one of which even ended up on the front page of HackerNews. decentralization, syndicated

I upgraded the camera hardware in my @fairphone

1 min read

Pretty proud that I was able to replace the camera modules in my 3 with the latest camera upgrades.

It is really awesome how Fairphone made a truly up-gradable phone possible and they made it really easy to take apart the phone.

The process does require steady hands and some nerve to execute. Detaching the screen from the frame was exciting. You need to get everything to "click" and not "break".

Everything came apart as planned and taking out the old modules and putting in the new was no issue. I did forget to take away one of the blueish protective covers of the front-facing camera module, after I had put the phone back together. So I had the exercise of taking apart the phone twice.

Followed the instructions from Fairphone themselves

The old modules are on their way to IFixit in Stuttgart Germany for refurbishment or recycling.

It's been difficult keeping my paper bullet journal up-to-date as I'm writing down lots of logs digitally. Probably also due to the fact that I spend most of the day in front of a computer. Literally.
I miss taking out my bike to get to work too. Some of the woes of six months being stuck in Covid Home-Office.

Donated a modest amount to the Tiernotruf Düsseldorf organisation

Yesterday, I had the terrible experience of seeing an animal, I think it was a marter, on the highway entrance, who looked like it was just hit by a car in front of me. There was no way for me to stop safely to check the animal because of the busy traffic and the lack of an emergency lane. I feel so bad that I couldn't help. So in memory and respect for the loss of life, I donated an amount to the Tiernotruf Hilfe in Düsseldorf with the hope that they can prevent the same aweful faith of happening to another animal.
