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! 😱

Although I have lived in Braunschweig full time for more than 23 years (and now still part time), I only recently saw this portal from 1584 for the first time.

While reddit is trying to kill itself – the CEO doesn’t seem to care much about the community (but I don’t really care about the topic enough to know for sure) – I think Lemmy is a nice alternative. Quite minimalist, but fast, has an app that isn’t cluttered with ads, and relies on ActivityPub to federate with the Fediverse. Even though reddit could reverse decisions, some people (including me) now know of better alternatives.

The park has some more nice places. 📸

The obligatory photo, this time on a summer evening. 😊

Today another view from about 650 meters near our apartment.

I am finally an AWS Certified Developer Associate! 🎉

You can view and verify my badge on Credly.

Google Bard or BingGPT are actually quite useful to answer simple questions without having to scroll through many pages of clickbait and AI-generated babble blogposts. I’m currently preparing for the AWS exam (I finally signed up!) and Google Bard explained the differences between Cognito User Pools and Cognito Identity Pools in a simple and understandable way. Even with a tabular overview and examples how to use both services. Now my knowledge is refreshed again. 😄

It’s green again outside. 🌳
