Yesterday - more out of boredom than anything else - I once again got to grips with data visualization and AI models. It was actually just a test run: a few data sets on the birth rate in Europe, a bit of code, a few maps and diagrams. But the deeper I delved, the more sobering the picture became. Continue reading →
Many people think that Linux is more stable and controllable than Windows. But woe betide anyone who connects to OpenVPN, shoots up their routes and realizes when the VPN is disconnected: the Internet is gone. Completely. No DNS, no ping, no curl. Welcome to the world of network management under Linux. Continue reading →
Today a different topic, since I am an IT guy and developer more or less dealing with hardware, I thought I would write a short guide on how to use the Logitech MX Master 3S mouse on a Linux computer. This post is a guide on how to use this wireless Bluetooth mouse on Linux without a USB dongle. Continue reading →
In times of military conflict, states tend to present themselves as defenders of values and principles. Terms such as "freedom", "democracy" and "human rights" become rhetorical weapons in the battle for political legitimacy. But history shows: Peace is rarely created through principles - but through power, interests and mutual risk calculation. Continue reading →
Skype after over Retired from Microsoft after 20 years. For me it was the next tool after ICQ (Does anyone still know that?). For me, Skype was the most modern thing you could get back then, especially when it came to video telephony. For me, it was a great tool for keeping in touch with people.
I actually wanted to spend this weekend working in the garden, planting fields for the vegetable garden.
Yesterday was beautiful weather, not hot, not too cold, pleasant air, but warm sunshine, a deep blue sky without clouds, yesterday, the perfect weather to create something out of the garden, instead: working, from early till late.
And today? On Saturday? Got up at 7 a.m. to get as much done as possible that you don't get to during the week? Continue reading →
Today it's all about vertical farming and my personal opinion on the developments I've seen in recent years. I have written this article in 1.5 hours, maybe I have forgotten or overlooked something.

So I've only just watched the series Squid Game, worried that there might not be a second season. The series itself is really good, without spoilers, good characters and actors, a story that you can follow and actors who control the whole thing in the background.

The year is coming to an end and although I would have loved to have written the last few months, I hardly had any time to write blog posts in addition to family matters, work and the everyday stress of just getting some peace and quiet in the evening.
So what did I have in mind Annual plan 2024 and what have I achieved? Continue reading →
