The vertical farming industry is the LaserDisc of DVDs

The vertical farming industry is the LaserDisc of DVDs

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.

I have been more or less active in this field for many years now. Ultimately, however, I feel - and in the end probably actually am - just a spectator, watching companies throw around sums and marketing buzzwords without making any progress. Continue reading →

Lawyer without empathy: ChatGPT does it better

Lawyer without empathy: ChatGPT does it better

Today I am writing about an experience I recently had to make. For family reasons, we needed a lawyer, although we already had a planned appointment somewhere else, but since we were advised by an organization that helps people to look for a lawyer nearby, since all lawyers have passed their state exams, it wouldn't make any difference, would it?

Squid Game - a philosophical reflection

Squid Game - a philosophical reflection

The 2nd season of the Korean series Squid Game was recently released on Netflix, and in another blog post I already explained my problems and mistrust with the Launch of series on Netflix and Co expressed. 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.

But in this post I don't want to talk about the series as a cinematic dramaturgy, which is undoubtedly great and where Hollywood could take a cue from, this post is about an analysis and philosophical reflection. Continue reading →

Streaming with Jellyfin on the Smart TV - from problems to watching movies

Streaming with Jellyfin on the Smart TV - from problems to watching movies

Last night I finally wanted to test my own media center on my Smart TV at home with my family. I recently bought Jellyfin an open source software server solution to get a Netflix-like web interface and play series and movies on it. The special thing is that the server can also run on my Windows laptop and you can watch the individual episodes conveniently via the interface. Of course, you can also search for the individual video files in the Windows file manager, but a Netflix-like interface is somehow more convenient.

But it's not that easy to get this streaming experience out of your own laptop and even for me as an IT specialist, it's questionable why it has to be so difficult to stream.

The internet is dying - but not in the way you'd expect

The Internet is dying - but not in the way you'd expect

Do you know it? You have a problem and search for it on the Internet and find an article or a forum thread where exactly this one problem is discussed. I found a thread from 2004 that dealt with exactly the question I had. That got me thinking. Continue reading →

I'm building a better LinkedIn business network

I'm building a better LinkedIn business network

LinkedIn is a good network to network, but in the last months and years, there is more and more, for me perceptible criticism at LinkedIn, so the quality goes down and because of censorship and questionable functions (gender designation and who needs reels on a business network) has me recently a contribution thinking about it, and a comment that appealed to some people was the reason for me to say, hey, can't I build something better than LinkedIn?
