I’m searching for an OneNote-alternative that allows me to write with a pen on the screen and then saves my handwritten notes. For keyboard-written notes I already have enough alternatives (Nextcloud Notes, rwtxt, LibreOffice Writter, plain text files…). Xournal or Xournal++ are nice, but OneNote is superior.

My favorite Telegram features
I think I’m in some kind of bubble, but most of the people I instant message with use Telegram, because either they are computer science students too or because I convinced (or persuaded) them.
Why Using WhatsApp Is Dangerous
Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram, wrote about “why using WhatsApp is dangerous”, citing the attack against Jeff Bezos.
My January ‘20 in Review
In the 2019 year review, I have already announced that in the future I want to do a monthly review. I want to reflect on what I have experienced and learned in the past month, what has occupied me and also what I am going to do for the next month. Of course I will not be able to write everything on a public blog, but I will try to be as open as possible. This should also help a little bit as a reminder. So I can look back later on what I did every month.
I just want to briefly announce on my blog that I have successfully completed the apprenticeship part of my dual study and can now call myself “Fachinformatiker für Anwendungsentwicklung” (IT specialist for application development)!
How I automatically create my blogroll
I just updated my blogroll and thought that it might be a great idea to share my workflow to do exactly that. I use Miniflux a lot. Using Miniflux, I read all the blogs and get all the news, get updates from all the YouTubers and even subscribe to some Mastodon accounts (fediverse microblogs). I use multiple categories to sort the feeds. One of those categories is “Blogs” with all the blogs, which I also list on my blogroll.
Avast sells user’s browsing data
Stories like this are a great reminder to not install any “freeware malware protection” software and unknowingly opt-in to data collection. If possible switch to Linux, or if you want to stay on Windows, use the integrated Windows Defender.
I also follow “Hey ok yay?” (English) and “Is lieb?” (German, by the same author).
I recently tried to improve a few parts of my blog and its theme:
- Links in the content are now underlined, to better differentiate between links and bold text.
- You can see the section of the entry below the title.
- Point 2 also let me reduce the number of linked sections in the main menu.
- I added the option to create anonymous comments without an own website by using comment parade.
If you find more things, which I should improve, feel free to contact me.
