Last weekend I had to use a video projector via Google cast or chromecast or whatever it's called this month – it was mounted at the ceiling and was unreachable by cables.
What I could work out about Google cast from a few web searches sounded like it should be simple …
Februar 2019: Damals bin ich BVG-Bus gefahren, ohne dass der Schlaf meines Rechners gestört worden wäre.
TL;DR: Hat jemand anders auch den Effekt, dass irgendwas in Berlin, vermutlich irgendwas in Bussen oder U-Bahnen, schlafende („Suspend to RAM“, s2ram, ACPI S3) Rechner hart ausschaltet?
Ich laufe und fahre seit 20 …
A few weeks after the release of Debian bookworm, I have recently dist-upgraded my main, ah well, workstation, too. As mentioned in my bullseye upgrade post, that box's file …
In all honesty, I don't expect many people who might profit from this post will ever see the message below. But since common web searches don't yield anything for it (yet), I figure I should at least document it can happen. I also want to praise kwallet's author(s) because …
When I wrote my request for help on how to do voice calls with a PCI-attached cellular modem I realised that writing a bit about how I'm dealing with the IP part of that thing might perhaps be mildly entertaining to some …
For fairly silly reasons I would like to do voice calls using a Sierra Wireless EM7345 4G LTE wireless modem built into a Lenovo Thinkpad X240. However, I am stuck between a lack of documentation and the horrors of proprietary …
Blog comments may be dead out there; here, I'd like to at least pretend they're still alive, and thus I've written a pelican plugin to properly mark them up.
When I added a feedback form to this site about a year ago, I also created a small ReStructuredText (RST) extension …
You can even have the DNS-based adblocking discussed here in your whole network if your router runs dnsmasq (it probably does) and you can edit its configuration (you probably can't). As shown here, with freetz you can.
I'm not a big fan of in-browser adblocking. For one, I have my …
I can't help it: As probably just about every other programming life form on this planet I have to be on github now and then. Curse the network effect and all those taking part in it (which would by now include me).
Anyway, that's why the last iteration of luakit …
Sunday morning: my gajim is automatically offline. This post explains how I'm doing that.
I still consider XMPP the …
Ah, nostalgia! I just migrated back to the type of my first GPS receiver, in action here when I was – flight shame! – at just about 9700 metres.
Since there is so much confident misinformation about on this about on the net, I'm stooping to the depravations of SEO and have …
Objekt der Begierde: Die BahnBonus-App, die mich wieder in die DB-Lounges Einlass finden wird. Und zwar ganz ohne Apple und nur mit einer einfachen Überdosis Google.
Vor einem knappen Jahr habe …
Die Krapizität der Webseiten, auf die ich hier so verlinkt habe (und noch ein paar mehr): works with netsurf!
Kurz nachdem das Web seine akademische Unschuld verloren hat, Ende der 1990er, habe ich den UNiMUT Schwobifying Proxy geschrieben, ein kleines Skript, das das ganze Web in Schwäbisch, hust, erlebbar machte …
Today I stumbled across Whispers of A.I.'s Modular Future by James Somers, a piece that, at least by the standards of publications aimed at the general public, makes an excellent point of why whisper.cpp might finally be some useful and non-patronising …
Trailing blanks may be␣␣␣␣␣ evil when git displays diffs.␣␣␣␣␣␣␣ Time to remove them.
I'm currently going through a major transition on my main machine in that I have configured my vim to strip trailing blanks, that is, to automatically remove space characters (as in U+0020) immediately before the ends …
This post is about why today I had intense fantasies about having an offline switch at least as large as the one on this DEC PDP-12 photographed at Vienna Observatory in 2018.
This is what I was after: Immediate Wikipedia search from within Libreoffice. In the document, you can also see the result of a Python dir() as produced by the inspect macro discussed below.
While I still believe the creation „office“ software was …
qropen.py in action: Here, it has scanned a QR code on a chocolate wrapper and asks for confirmation that you actually want to open the URI contained (of course, it doesn't come with the glitzy background).
When I was investigating the SARS-2 vaccination certificates last year (sorry: that post …
[There's a TL;DR at the end of this rant in case you're just desperate to get your Zoom client to work again]
There are many reasons why proprietary, non-interoperable services are a bane and why I generally say no to them, be them Twitter, Discourse, or Google Docs. However …
This is what this post is about: having a single switch for monitor, amplifier, and computer.
I use an oldish notebook with a retired monitor and an amplifier I picked up from kerbside junk to watch …
This post takes an odd bend to become an apology for CGI (as in common gateway interface) scripts. This is the netsurf browser communicating with the CGI shell script at the foot of this post.
I have written a few plugins and extensions for this blog, and I have discussed …

Bahnauskunft von 2022 auf einem Nokia N900 von 2009: Es braucht inzwischen etwas Mühe, um das gebastelt zu kriegen.
Als die Bahn-Webseite nicht mehr ordentlich auf kompakten Browsern wie dillo funktionierte und auch nicht per WAP– also Mitte der 2010er Jahre –, habe ich mir ein ein kleines Skript geschrieben, das …
Als Reaktion auf meinen Hilferuf gegen Google hat @ulif@chaos.social getrötet:
Vielleicht einfach mal unverbindlich bei der irischen "Datenschutzbehörde" nachfragen? Nicht als Beschwerde, sondern als einfache Anfrage. Denen müssen sie diese Daten ja eigentlich gemeldet haben.
Na schön. Das könnte interessant werden. Das erste Ergebnis einer duckduckgo-Anfrage nach „data …
