Tech, life and everything else
Welcome to the Thoughts section of my blog. Thoughts are better kept on my blog than on Twitter or other online platforms.
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!
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…
I recently switched to Purelymail, after mentioning a long time ago that I keep an eye on the service every now and then.
Colin’s post yesterday inspired me to install the Loop Habit Tracker app. How did I not know about this app yet? Free, no ads, and even open source!
GoBlog’s test coverage is increasing (currently about 41%), but I keep being reminded there is nothing like enough or even too many tests. I still find some stupid bugs that aren’t covered by automatic tests.
I think the new micro.blog feature for newsletters is the right approach. Blog first, newsletter second. But newsletters are not difficult to set up, they only need to be activated by a checkbox.
Do any of my readers have unlimited mobile data? If so, what do you do to with it? How has unlimited mobile data changed your usage behavior?
On my blog, I’ve had the ability to link posts to a location for some time now. There is also a map that shows all posts with a location.
So Telegram now has ads. But unlike the ads from Google, Facebook or Apple, the ads are not personalized and much more privacy friendly. The ads simply consist of a maximum 160-character message with no external links and are displayed only in large public channels.
Windows 11 is even better than I expected and my first impression was. Next to running Linux GUI apps, there’s also winget included, the Windows Package Manager. winget allows installing and updating apps directly from the terminal. (I first blogged about it last year in May.)
