Tech, life and everything else

I was so hyped about major Android updates when Android versions were still single-digits or had minor versions (and I was still much younger). I even made an update a requirement for buying a new phone (that phone still works, by the way, and runs Lineage OS with Android 13 - but sadly isn’t supported for a long time anymore). Recently, my main devices (do we still call it “daily drivers”?) received OneUI 9 / Android 17, and I don’t even notice a difference and don’t know any new features this release brings. New Android versions aren’t special anymore. Times change.

Couldn’t prevent myself from implementing support for socialspec.org as a plugin in GoBlog, given it already supports most of the pieces like automatic blogroll and feeds, and I must have just had to add redirects and some CORS handling. As I’m not an iOS user and can’t use the HyperTexting app, I don’t really have any use out of it, but initiatives supporting the open web are nice anyway. You can see my profile at sodir.org.

Vibe anything, fast

Published on in ✍️ Posts

Vibecoding is really blowing my mind at the moment. Not only was I able to vibe code an invoice fetcher recently, but I also accomplished two other projects since then.

Yesterday, I had the feeling I needed to do just another bike ride this year. It was just a bit over zero degrees outside and quite foggy, but thinking I have warm clothes, I tried it anyway. The clothes also kept me warm, but what I underestimated was how cold my feet would get, as I used the same shoes and socks as I use when it’s 30 degrees outside. With cold feet and also a bit of cold hands at the end (even though I had warm gloves, apparently not warm enough), the last 10 kilometers were quite exhausting, but I’m glad I did it. Next time, I should only go if it’s a bit warmer, or I need to buy warmer socks or shoes.

On the last evening of my work trip, I finally figured out how to set up a WireGuard VPN container and port forwarding for my home server to use my travel router (GL-MT3000) to connect to home and have a WiFi network giving me my home IP address (including IPv6). But I guess now it’s a solid and secure setup for future travels. wg-easy is pretty simple to setup.

Theoretically, I could use NetBird with an exit node on all my devices, but I prefer something that doesn’t need an extra app running all the time. Also, I might share the WiFi with my wife on future travels.

Please get me the invoices 🤖

Published on in ✍️ Posts

AI and vibe coding is nothing new to me, but today I finally gave vibe reverse engineering (or better said, reverse vibing?) a try. To scratch an itch I had for a long time: downloading invoices from o2 Business.

Lost in the rythm 🎶

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

I only now understand what I missed about music in all the years I let algorithms decide on what I listen to.
