Email based Messaging (Delta Chat and COI)

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

There are tons of messengers out their, but they all share the same problem.

Relax And Calm Down

Published on in ✍️ Posts

What Does My Software Setup Look Like?

Published on in ✍️ Posts

I recently got a new (refurbished) notebook and already wrote a post about that, but this time, I would like to focus on my software setup. What programs do I use for developing? What do I use for writing? And what is my favorite web browser?

Why I Can’t Accept Bad Workarounds

Published on in ✍️ Posts

If I really want something, I try to search for a solution until I found it. Even if it takes me hours, days or weeks. Whether it’s a software problem or another issue. Often I just can’t accept not to find a solution.
