Finally online again

Published on 2021-08-20 in 💭 Thoughts

After being cut off from DSL for about 30 hours, I finally have landline Internet again. On the one hand, it makes me angry that the provider didn’t solve this faster (the whole street with hundreds of residents was offline), but on the other hand, it also showed me my dependence on the Internet. I could not really do anything, not even watch TV, because that is also only possible via the Internet. After my vacation, I will take care of creating redundancy via LTE to be safe from such failures…

FitoTrack

When I used to run back in the days, I used Runtastic to record my runs. When I tried running again last year, my app of choice was Strava. For recording hikes, I mostly use Komoot. But today for recording a bike ride, I tried FitoTrack.

BootBoi

Published on 2021-08-17 in 🔗 Links

I found this little open source app to wake up or even shut down my new code server using my smartphone: BootBoi. The whole thing even works via Tailscale, if I use a device from my home network as exit node. To wake up a Wake-on-LAN packet is sent and to shut down a SSH command is executed.

Yesterday I read this article by Vincent Warmerdam describing his new home setup. He uses an Intel NUC running Linux, which he can program on well, and accesses it via his laptop or a Mac using Visual Studio Code.

A new Miniflux release

At first I didn’t perceive the new Miniflux release as something special, at first glance I couldn’t see any big changes in the changelog.

But Ru’s post drew my attention to a new feature:

Added option to hide categories from the global unread list

Finally I can subscribe to news feeds again and just look through the entries when I feel like it!

What I’m still missing: Hiding individual feeds as well. This would be a chance to do some coding while on vacation and create a pull request…

Update: I decided to not only talk, but do something. I submitted a pull request with the feature.

Private diary with GoBlog and Tailscale

Yesterday I wrote about Tailscale. Really cool service! And I’m a little bit obsessed with it, too. Now that I have connected my devices to a network, I had the idea to make my GoBlog diary available only via Tailscale instead of a public domain.

First impressions: Tailscale

Have you already heard of Tailscale? I read about it today in a blog article by Stanislas Lange and tried it out. And what can I say, it’s impressive!

“Darker Corners of Go”

Another entry from my reading list: “Darker Corners of Go”. Rytis Bieliunas has taken the effort to write down all the points to consider when programming with Go. A lengthy list, even if I personally find Go simpler than, say, Java.

I had this link on my Reading List for a long time, today I finally took a look at it and I am thrilled: The Web’s Timeline.
