Tech, life and everything else
Instead of using Instagram, I prefer uploading pictures to my blog. Everyone can view them there without creating an account and visitors don’t get any ads or are tracked.
See also the photos on the German part of the blog.
Since I have holidays at the moment and don’t want to spend all my time at home in front of the computer, I decided to go hiking today. However, the place I had chosen was not the best choice. In the forest it was very muddy and my shoes and clothes looked accordingly.

We needed to wait an hour, but this pizza was delicious 👌🍕

It’s nice to spend some time with the family and visit the zoo in Zurich. There were also some Australian animals. They have it probably much better there than their conspecifics in Australia.

Going to the cemetery always reminds me what a precious gift life is and how grateful I am to be alive and that I am also doing so well.

Tinify or TinyPNG or TinyJPEG is the service I use to automatically compress and resize images uploaded to my micropub media endpoint. It’s a great service with a nice developer API that also offers a free limit of 500 compressions per month and has a pay-what-you-use policy after that (but I won’t upload more than 500 images per month anyway). I use a library written in Go to use the API.

This post is mainly to test if my Micropub endpoint works the way it should, but look at this nice photo of an elephant! I recently visited Hamburg with my girlfriend and one day we also went to the zoo.

If you want to use Linux applications on Windows you have multiple options. Using the Windows version of the application if it’s available, cross-compile the app, use a VM or Docker, or use the Windows Subsystem for Linux with a X Server.

I think I never wrote about “meal replacements powders” on this blog, while I wrote a pretty extensive posts on my German blog once. So if you understand German, you might like to take a read.

There might be some people who only use the Git command line interface. But I’m definitely not one of them. I’m way to lazy to always type all the commands.

Like two or three weeks ago, I was a little bored and thought about installing something new on my server again. Yes, I really like installing “things” (it’s actually just adding some lines of configuration to a file), especially when those things improve my life in some way. I installed Miniflux and using it really opened my eyes about the way I consume news. If you don’t want to host Miniflux yourself, like I do (which allows me to tweak the configuration), there’s also a very cheap hosted version for just some bucks a year.
