Tech, life and everything else

My 5G internet has worked again flawlessly since Friday afternoon. I have the suspicion it’s because, since today, there are new laws that define when mobile providers underperform and people have the right to reduce their bills; but it might also be just a reconfiguration or upgrade of cell towers nearby. I noticed the internet got faster as well, now with download speeds often about 400 Mbps (instead of 350 before, with a contract limit of 500) and upload speeds of 60 Mbps (instead of 35 before, with a contract limit at 50). So at least in one direction I get more than I paid for. 😅 But on Thursday I will also get a fiber connection and can set up dual WAN then.

- Jan-Lukas Else My April ‘26 in Review April is now over too, so it’s time to look back on the month. This time, I’ll keep it really brief.

Work, and sometimes going for a bike ride in the evenings after work. On Sundays, our (now expanded) dance class. Occasionally sorting out a few things for the wedding (or booking the honeymoon). And of cou…
- Jan-Lukas Else Mein April ‘26 im Rückblick Auch der April ist nun vorbei, also ist es an der Zeit, meinen monatlichen Blick zurückzuwerfen. Dieses Mal wirklich kurz. Anfang des Monats waren wir über Ostern ein paar Tage an der Nordsee, haben uns dort entspannt, aber auch ein paar Ausflüge gemacht. Es war sehr erholsam. Danach kehrte wieder der Alltag zurück. Arbeiten und abends nach der Arbeit manchmal Fahrrad fahren. Sonntags unser (inzwischen erweiterter) Tanzkurs. Gelegentlich noch ein paar Sachen für die Hochzeit regeln (oder Flit…
