Welcome to the Thoughts section of my blog. Thoughts are better kept on my blog than on Twitter or other online platforms.


MCP plugin for GoBlog

Published on in 💭 Thoughts
Updated on

Using AI, I just added a new (experimental) plugin to GoBlog, one that finally leverages app passwords, now that I’ve overhauled the authentication system some time ago. The plugin implements MCP, short for Model Context Protocol.

Switching to Bunny DNS

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

A recent post by Henrique made me look into Bunny DNS again. In the past I already tried it for one or two domains but eventually stopped using it because they didn’t support DNSSEC yet. Instead I relied on the wonderful services of DeSEC. But now that support for DNSSEC and TLSA records is finally here, I switched again to Bunny DNS with all 21 of my domains.

Bye Gitea, hey Forgejo!

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

I procrastinated a long time, but I finally migrated my self-hosted Git instance from Gitea to Forgejo. I still don’t know how to pronounce it, but it’s maintained by Codeberg e.V., where I’m also a member.

Updated on

While you can spend endless money on AI coding tools, I’m known for being a money-saver (I even secured the sparzauberer.de domain, which is translatable to savings wizard).

The gym is already at home

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

My new piece of fitness equipment is finally here. In all its glory, standing there to remind me every day to get a workout in. Now I don’t even have to go to the gym, because the gym is already at home.

Trying GitHub Copilot coding agent

Published on in 💭 Thoughts
Updated on

Somehow1 I got access to GitHub Education again, which includes access to GitHub Copilot Pro. While I was using Kilo Code with OpenRouter in the recent past, I wanted to try Copilot again since it doesn’t cost anything extra for me.

The final ride of the year?

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Today I did another bike tour, following several I’ve taken recently. I didn’t blog about those, although they were quite nice and I truly enjoyed them, now more appropriately dressed.1

TIL on my bike

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Today, with the weather at a nice 19 °C, I took the chance for another bike tour. I had tried out my new, warmer cycling clothes yesterday during a long break from work, but since the weather will be much colder soon, I really wanted to get this second ride in.

Vacation in the Rhön

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Yesterday, we came back from some much-needed vacation. We spent 9 nights in Fulda, went hiking a few times, visited some museums, and sometimes also just relaxed. On the way to Fulda, we also made a short break in Kassel and revived some memories.
