Tech, life and everything else
I recently bought a new printer: the Xerox B225. I discovered it by chance (while looking for a good printer) as a reduced return in an online store. Someone must have just tried it out briefly and sent it back. I’m happy!
I need to wait an hour for another train, but why wait at the train station?

It seems that mobile reception along German high-speed train routes has improved lately (at least compared to 2019). I’m sitting in an ICE 4 between Hanover and Hamburg, and I’ve initiated a speed test via USB tethering. My mobile phone contract is limited to 10 Mbps, but I seem to be able to take full advantage of that.

Update: Thanks for all the answers! I have now tried to repair the ink cartridge, now something is printed again, but somewhat blurred. I finally decided to buy a black/white laser printer with scanner, a Xerox B225 as B-ware. I will probably report…
Crazy, new year and yet January is already over, how time flies! What was going on?
Even though starting my job has put me in a situation where I can sometimes afford stuff just like that, and maybe buy the occasional thing without thinking much when I should have before, I still make sure to keep the number of things I own low.
My public VPS is now only accessible via SSH from my tailnet. One more possible attack vector less.
In Alpine Linux I switched to the linux-lts kernel, installed Tailscale from the edge-community repository via repository pinning, removed the rule to allow SSH from the Hetzner cloud firewall and finally set the Tailscale ACLs to not allow access to my other Tailscale devices from the VPS.
I have a very light sleep. The first brightness in the morning makes me wake up, noise from the neighbors in the evening does not let me fall asleep. No matter how late or early I go to bed, no matter how little I slept in total.
I recently moved my emails to Purelymail. And since I also used the contacts and calendar synchronization feature of my previous email provider, I also transferred the contacts and calendar entries to Purelymail via WebDAV using WinSCP.
Just noticed, but I have hit the 1000 posts mark on my English blog this month! 🎉
