I was so hyped about major Android updates when Android versions were still single-digits or had minor versions (and I was still much younger). I even made an update a requirement for buying a new phone (that phone still works, by the way, and runs Lineage OS with Android 13 - but sadly isn’t supported for a long time anymore). Recently, my main devices (do we still call it “daily drivers”?) received OneUI 9 / Android 17, and I don’t even notice a difference and don’t know any new features this release brings. New Android versions aren’t special anymore. Times change.

Vibe anything, fast

Vibecoding is really blowing my mind at the moment. Not only was I able to vibe code an invoice fetcher recently, but I also accomplished two other projects since then.

Please get me the invoices 🤖

AI and vibe coding is nothing new to me, but today I finally gave vibe reverse engineering (or better said, reverse vibing?) a try. To scratch an itch I had for a long time: downloading invoices from o2 Business.

Lost in the rythm 🎶

I only now understand what I missed about music in all the years I let algorithms decide on what I listen to.

Struggling with music selfhosting

Published on 2026-10-04 in ✍️ Posts

I mentioned in my last monthly review that I’m currently switching from Deezer (my streaming alternative after the previous cheap YouTube Premium trick stopped working) to a self hosted music setup.

A weekend in Bad Segeberg

📍 Bad Segeberg, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany

I was in Bad Segeberg over the weekend to visit my grandmother, who lives with dementia. Interacting with her is always so demanding, as she constantly repeats how lonely she is and tells hurting stories about my grandfather’s and my father’s deaths.

Ubuntu makes my computer just a tool

Published on 2026-08-31 in 💭 Thoughts

With the first point release of Ubuntu 26.04 in the form of Ubuntu 26.04.1 LTS, I can briefly summarize my thoughts about being back on Ubuntu for almost half a year now.

It’s Sunday, and tomorrow I don’t have to work, as I have two weeks of vacation. The first time since May. My only breaks from work were when I hurt my hand and wasn’t able to type for a week, and two free days last week, but those also weren’t really relaxing for me. So I am very much looking forward to the next two weeks! I really feel the exhaustion from the last few months with work sometimes being stressful, the start of my fiancée’s teacher training, and some other topics. But this year again showed me that biking and sometimes going for a walk or a bit of hiking is a great refuge in a stressful time.

Improving my DIY skills

Why don’t I post much lately? I’m getting my hands more and more dirty – literally.

Investing in comfort

Published on 2025-05-08 in 💭 Thoughts

Getting ready for Scotland involved buying some gear – next to the required things also a headlamp, a powerbank and Merino clothes. On the surface, maybe a bit much. Did I need a new powerbank? Technically no, but the right size makes a difference for tracking, navigating, and tent-charging on a trip like this. Merino? It means less sweat, less odor, more comfort over days of exploring.
