Tech, life and everything else
I recently read this short post by Kev Quirk. It’s about removing content from the web. While Manuel Moreale is against deleting content from the web, Kev thinks he would probably delete things if he feels bad about them.
This past weekend, I visited my family in the south of Germany. I wasn’t there for quite some time. On one day, we went to Biel in Switzerland, walking through the Taubenloch (“pigeonhole”, a canyon right next to the city) and sitting on a boat that took us across Lake Biel. It was quite picturesque.

The cycling season is not over yet.

Just in time before it gets cold and rainy again next week, I took advantage of today to go for a short bike ride. Upstream along the Fulda, over to the Eder and then to where the Eder flows into the Fulda. This was the short (49 km) of the two versions I had planned for this. The longer version is almost 90 kilometers long. Let’s see if I can still do it this year…
This time, I just took my “Komoot phone” (the Galaxy XCover7) with me, and that worked fine. I don’t always need to have two phones on my tours! 😅

Yesterday, we rented a shared car and drove 50 km to the Edersee near Kassel, where we hiked a bit. There’s a castle up on one hill and the view was spectacular! It was definitely an active weekend. 😊

And now another month, and soon the summer, has come to an end. Time to take a (this time very) brief look back at August.
Instead of doing another Freeletics workout this week, I took advantage of the great weather outside and challenged myself with some uphill biking. It definitely pushed me to my limits, but it was worth it! And it worked, even though my bike only has eight internal gears.

Some IP from the US seemed to crawl my Gitea instance (running on the same small VPS as my blog and other self-hosted services) non-stop, which caused high CPU usage. I already wondered why the terminal was lagging so much and why Gitea had such a high CPU usage.

I finally did, what I planned to do for a long time: Biking from my first to my second flat. I did it in three days. 214 kilometers with 1750 meters uphill.
