My improved 5G setup
Published on in ✍️ Posts
Last year, I documented my “perfect” 5G setup. Yesterday, that Quectel modem was sold. So, what prompted the change, and how am I online now?

The only positive thing about this insomnia is getting out into nature for a bit in the morning. It reminds me of the time I deliberately woke up early in the morning to be in the office by 7 am after a 10-kilometer run and breakfast.

Happy Birthday to my favorite bike!
Published on in 💬 Micro
It was the first birthday of my favorite bike, my Cube Hyde Race! So, I used this Saturday, home alone, to do another long bike ride – 58 km this time. I took the Weser-Harz-Heide-Radweg (I’ve written about other parts of it before) towards the Harz low mountain range and the city of Goslar. The sun was shining, and it got up to 32°C, but I managed to finish without problems. For the way back, I took the train, which I just managed to catch in time.
I really love this bike! It’s not one I can casually ride at 30 km/h, but I can easily use it on paths with a bit more gravel, which is great. And it also works great for riding through the city! I’m really happy I decided on this bike instead of a racing bike. I don’t like riding next to roads (unless there’s a bike path in excellent condition), but I love exploring nature.
P.S.: It was also a good decision to choose a bike with a belt drive. There have been no issues so far. 👌 And in case there should be any issues, I have an insurance with a service, where they will come and fix my bike or pick me up and bring me home.

Live tracking solution for OsmAnd
Published on in 👨💻 Dev
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.

New watch. My old one was still fine and will probably be on sale soon, but this refurbished Galaxy Watch 7 has LTE. I can set up fall detection and use the emergency SOS feature in case of an emergency when my phone is out of reach or broken. Safety first. I can also leave my phone at home and still receive or make calls.

Dmytro Prudnikov, former product designer at Komoot, who was still featured last December in a post on LinkedIn, but got, as many others, fired, posted an emotional video on YouTube. Together, he and a lot of other former colleagues, they spent some time together for a last gathering.

My music listening is inconsistent. I don’t listen to much music, sometimes weeks without any music streaming at all. And when I do, I often listen to some automatic playlists with recommendations from YouTube. I don’t have any specific artists I always listen too. Furthermore, I don’t even have a specific genre I like the most, often it’s something electronic.
However, it appears that I listened to a lot of ambient or atmospheric electronic music lately. One artist popping up in my automatic playlists that I like quite a bit, is The Ambientalist (YouTube | Bandcamp).
Documenting it here on my blog, to maybe find it again in a few years and remember back. 🎧
