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.

For a few nights, 12 places in Braunschweig (Brunswick) are specially illuminated in the evening.

PHP reminds me of Log4Shell in 2021. Back then the CVE even had a 10/10 rating.

Inspired by Matthias Pfefferle, I also just implemented JS-based rendering for the sitemap.xml, which was using XLST until recently. XLST broke when I made the Content-Security-Policy in GoBlog more restrictive. Given XLST is deprecated anyway, I switched to CSS, but that’s more limited. JS-based rendering works great, though. I didn’t know using JavaScript on XML-based documents was even possible.

I also applied it to the blogroll.opml while I was at it. With the new DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017 and my critical questions, it was done fast and cheap, and probably better than I would have done it myself. 😄
