I have a use case where I need to copy files from Nextcloud to S3 storage using my phone, and I think I finally found the perfect apps for this.

Some time ago I resubscribed to Komoot Premium using some tricks to get it cheaper. But I don’t use Komoot to track my rides or even manage them there (OsmAnd is still my favorite app for that!); I just use it to plan them, especially on the PC. The biggest advantage: It suggests to me places I haven’t seen before, like this little castle. Today’s bike tour was great. ☺️

And here we are again, another half year has passed. Time to take a quick look back at my June. Well, not much actually happened …

Some time ago I posted about my experience blocking one country and some ASNs directly via iptables from my mail server. It seems like there’s an even better source of IPs and networks to block.
The Spamhaus “Don’t Route Or Peer Lists (DROP)” lists.
Currently my mail setup is configured to block everything from these lists. After that, failed login attempts are blocked using fail2ban. And both Postscreen and Rspamd are configured with the usual DNS block lists (like Spamhaus), but also with Abusix.
So far I have received no single spam mail since moving to this new setup. Also, the number of logged spam delivery tries is greatly reduced. All the legitimate emails I wanted to receive the last days came through.
Using simplemailservice.eu also still works great as my outbound relay.
Fun fact: All the ASNs I manually blocked before are on the DROP list. I let AI write a small script that uses the bgp.tools table.txt to find the IPs for them.

Why spend 80 € on a simple cap? Because it fits my big head perfectly, is very comfortable, offers good sun protection, is high-quality, and also keeps me from being blinded by the sun. With this cap and my hat, my collection of summer headwear should now be complete.

My new European AWS SES alternative
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
I am currently in the process of migrating to a new mailserver setup that is integrated into my normal hosting setup on a new VPS at netcup. This time, the setup is based on the Docker images and configuration from a project called docker-mailserver (I previously used the other more popular docker-mailserver). It’s less monolithic and more flexible to adjust configuration etc. It also has a web UI to configure users, domains and aliases.

We recently had a test photo shooting with our wedding photographer. The photos that came out of this session are beautiful. I took the chance to finally update my profile picture (the last one was from 2022) with a cropped version of one of the new photos. My appearance has actually changed quite a bit, especially over the past year. I have new glasses, a beard now, and shorter hair.

Schwäbisch Hall
Published on in ✍️ Posts
For the regular planning workshop at work (my second since I started), I have to be in Schwäbisch Hall from Monday to Wednesday. As train tickets are cheaper on Saturday than on Sunday and I was eager to explore the city anyway, I decided to already arrive yesterday (Saturday). Today (Sunday) I did my planned city discovery.

netcup VPS and NetBird BYOP
Published on in 💭 Thoughts

As I told you, I recently switched to mainly using NetBird instead of Tailscale. NetBird released their “Bring your own proxy” functionality on the cloud-hosted version today. That gave me the perfect reason to finally try a VPS at netcup. I ordered the smallest one with just one core and one gigabyte of memory, but all it has to do is the reverse proxy work.
