Tech, life and everything else
Welcome to the Dev section of my blog with development related articles.
I have a couple of restic backup containers running across my servers, all based on the resticker image. It’s a basic part of every server configuration I use. Backups are executed on cron schedules. But until today, I had no visibility into whether they actually succeeded. So I had no idea one of my backups didn’t run for some weeks due to some “locks” in the repository.
For our wedding, I planned to develop a small site where guests can get more information, confirm their attendance, and view and upload photos. I started the base for that website in August and also bought a domain a few months ago. But I didn’t finish the coding. The design shouldn’t be as simple as my blog’s design, and I chose Angular for the frontend, as I also wanted to strengthen my Angular skills for professional reasons. Later, I wanted to build the backend using some n8n workflows.
I previously shared my transition from Komoot to OsmAnd, and after some time, I’ve grown accustomed to its comprehensive capabilities. Whether for cycling, hiking, or general navigation, OsmAnd truly functions as a versatile “Swiss Army knife” for offline mobile navigation and tracking.
At work today I came across an Eclipse feature for cleaning up Java code. It helps you to improve the code, for example to add final to attributes or parameters, or to improve boolean expressions.
