I have already written an article about the comparison of Huel and Myprotein Whole Fuel Blend. I find such meal replacement powders a very practical thing for several reasons:

Mobile data
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
I have around 36 hours left until the current period of my mobile data plan expires. Each period takes 28 days and I have 2 GB of mobile data and endless calls and text messages available, for which I pay 7,99€. With the start of the next period I have 3 GB each 28 days.
Go and Java
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
Updated on
While I need to use Java for university projects (currently that are one Spring and one Java EE project) and work, I use Go on some personal projects (Hugo backend and KISSS). While I’m getting more familiar with Go (I do Java for many years), I also experience cases where I actually miss language features from Java. Oh and it’s not generics, I’m currently (still) fine without generics.
Webmention update
Published on in 💬 Micro
I’m now receiving webmentions myself and also show them as “interactions” on this blog.
I implemented webmention receiving into my Hugo backend. Mentions are stored as a simple json file per webmention in the “data” folder of my blog and then I’m using some Hugo magic (data templates) to render them in my theme.
By doing it this way, I don’t need any JavaScript to show interactions and I don’t need to rely on a 3rd party service (I used webmention.io) for receiving anymore.

Joining Codeberg
Published on in 💬 Micro
I just joined the Codeberg e.V. as an active member.
The mission of the Codeberg e.V. is to build and maintain a free collaboration platform for researching, creating, archiving, and preserving knowledge, code, and to document its development process.
I really like Codeberg and its mission and use the platform for some of my projects. Today, a fellow student / colleague asked me a few questions about it, then joined himself. That inspired me to actually join now too, instead of sometime in the future.
More Information about Codeberg on their website or blog. Joining is possible here.

Published on in ✍️ Posts
In October I bought myself a new backpack after my old backpack, which I used every day, suddenly fell apart and I needed a replacement. Now, finally, I can write down a few more thoughts about this backpack, the black version of the Eastpak Provider:
