Tech, life and everything else
I’m still on vacation. It’s hot most days, but it’s interesting to get to know a new country and visit some places from my mother’s youth. I will write a more detailed report when I return. 😊
I just want to give a quick shout out to my online friend Žan. He’s been blogging for a long time (I still remember when we shared a gifted WordPress web host 8 (?) years ago 😄). Now he has shared some of his blogging insights and tips on his relatively new personal blog.

I’m curious when these train wagons were built, but I can’t find any source online. I only found this website with some possible wagon numbers.

I bought myself a Tilley LTM6 hat. It was expensive and still feels a bit strange to wear because nobody wears hats here. But it’s comfortable even with my big head (I always have to buy XXL caps and helmets) and it protects my face and neck pretty well from the sun. And it comes with a lifetime warranty!
Let the vacations begin! 😄

During and after my studies, I used to refresh my Miniflux start page (the feed reader, which I use to keep up with things on websites I want to follow) every few minutes. As soon as there was a new article, I would read it. I also used to use this tool to read the news by following a local national newspaper website.
So, another month is over and with it the first half of the year 2023. Time for a short review.
I am a Gitea fan! I have been for some time now. But it’s always amazing how fast new features are implemented in the self-hosted GitHub alternative.
In a moment, the next month is already over. After June, it’s now July. Time for a short monthly review.
Some years ago, I started reading the novel “The Circle” by Dave Eggers. I never finished reading it, but today I watched the movie. It has an important message about privacy, transparency and surveillance and shows that there’s a thin line in between. I can definitely recommend watching it, although I sometimes wasn’t impressed by the acting.
The heat lately and the heat in the coming weeks has been bugging me and getting to me so much that I bought a mobile air conditioner. It eats up a lot of electricity and will ruin my very low power consumption (< 800 kWh per year), but maybe it will help me sweat less.
