Documenting my stupidity
Published on in 💬 Micro
Something stupid happened to me yesterday. On my post with the cake photo I got a few responses and comments that I wanted to look at. But on the smartphone display, I seem to have slightly mis-clicked and accidentally pressed “Delete”. That’s a button that only shows up when I’m logged in.
The post was then deleted and I had to use the hourly database dump to find the entry again and add it back into the database by hand.
To counteract this in the future, I have now created a second deletion step. Now the deletion must be confirmed a second time.
I also now use the European cloud provider Scaleway to store the Docker image (instead of Quay.io). I already use Scaleway for object storage for my backups, unfortunately Hetzner does not offer such features yet.

My new Chromecast with Google TV
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
I ordered the Chromecast with Google TV last weekend and got it delivered yesterday (early birthday present for myself 😅 – I have birthday tomorrow). I really like it! Even though I’m usually critical about Google and its services – at least I disabled all possible privacy settings.

Two months of private diary blogging
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
More than two months ago, I decided I should try using my blogging software for journaling. Every day, I create a new private post with a few bullet points about the day: what I did during the day, how I felt, what I thought about. On some days there are more points, on some days just a few short ones.

Thoughts about VPN services
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
I have never been a big fan of VPN services. I think that many users have a wrong expectation about it, they think the VPN service would provide them anonymity and protect their data.

I’ve seen several mentions of PlantUML recently and I’d like to share a few thoughts on it as well.
