I bought myself a Tilley LTM6 hat. It was expensive and still feels a bit strange to wear because nobody wears hats here. But it’s comfortable even with my big head (I always have to buy XXL caps and helmets) and it protects my face and neck pretty well from the sun. And it comes with a lifetime warranty!
Let the vacations begin! 😄

Finding peace in ignorance
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
During and after my studies, I used to refresh my Miniflux start page (the feed reader, which I use to keep up with things on websites I want to follow) every few minutes. As soon as there was a new article, I would read it. I also used to use this tool to read the news by following a local national newspaper website.

For the past two years, I’ve been using Pocket to save links that I want to revisit later. However, as my yearly subscription is about to expire, I’ve started thinking about finding a free alternative that offers the features I actually use, without paying for unnecessary extras.

Yes, I still keep some old domains to redirect to sections of this blog: appydroid.eu to redirect to the app and smartphone related section and ein-geek.de to redirect to the German part of my blog. Even though I merged them about four years ago. 😄
By the way, the oldest post still live on this site is approaching its seventh birthday. Time flies! 😱
Overcoming challenges for a better phone: My frustrating upgrade experience
Published on in 📱 appydroid
Although my old smartphone is still in perfect condition, I have made the decision to upgrade to a new model: from a Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite to a Samsung Galaxy A54. Despite its current functionality, I opted to make the switch now, with the hope that the trade-in value will remain higher compared to what it would likely be in a year when it will likely decrease. And the A54 was on sale.
Just one sign of the climate crisis

Two years ago, for the first time in my life, I experienced the basement filling up after a heavy rain. And now, not even two years later, the same thing is happening again. (I and we are fine and there was not too much damage).
