Tech, life and everything else
eBay is great for selling electronics. If you put in the effort to take good photos and write a good description, you can make good money selling the things you want to get rid of. My virtualized router experiment ended with a few euros in profit.
Something I wanted to implement already for a long time, but always seemed too complicated for the occasional programming session here or there, was support for WebAuthn or Passkeys for GoBlog. I noted it down two years ago and also already started to work on the implementation, but never got around to finish it.

I recently read this short post by Kev Quirk. It’s about removing content from the web. While Manuel Moreale is against deleting content from the web, Kev thinks he would probably delete things if he feels bad about them.
This past weekend, I visited my family in the south of Germany. I wasn’t there for quite some time. On one day, we went to Biel in Switzerland, walking through the Taubenloch (“pigeonhole”, a canyon right next to the city) and sitting on a boat that took us across Lake Biel. It was quite picturesque.

The cycling season is not over yet.

Just in time before it gets cold and rainy again next week, I took advantage of today to go for a short bike ride. Upstream along the Fulda, over to the Eder and then to where the Eder flows into the Fulda. This was the short (49 km) of the two versions I had planned for this. The longer version is almost 90 kilometers long. Let’s see if I can still do it this year…
This time, I just took my “Komoot phone” (the Galaxy XCover7) with me, and that worked fine. I don’t always need to have two phones on my tours! 😅

Yesterday, we rented a shared car and drove 50 km to the Edersee near Kassel, where we hiked a bit. There’s a castle up on one hill and the view was spectacular! It was definitely an active weekend. 😊

The field near my second home… Walking here reminds me of when I walked here a year and a half ago, debating whether to accept the new job offer. It feels like an eternity ago. But it was a good decision!

I used to use Postman for both personal and work projects. It was great for making HTTP requests without having to create curl commands. But now, Postman requires a login, which I hate. I don’t understand why a login is needed for such a simple tool.
