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 …
Sunday morning: my gajim is automatically offline. This post explains how I'm doing that.
I still consider XMPP the …
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 …
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 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 …
Enough Yak Shaving already.
I am now three parts …
A lot of Yak Shaving left to do here.
Now that I have learned how to figure out dates of birth and death in Wikidata and have made myself sensible tools to submit queries, I can finally start …
There is still a lot of hair on the Yak I am shaving in this little series of posts on SPARQL. All the Yaks shown in the series lived on the Valüla Mountain in Vorarlberg, Austria.
If you continue, you will read about a first-rate example of Yak Shaving
While listening to a short biography …
As I have already pointed out in April, I consider simple and compact web browsers a matter of freedom (well, Freedom as in speech, actually), and although there's been a bit of talk about ladybird lately, my favourite in this category still is netsurf, which apparently to this date is …
This is what this post is about: being able to type PILE OF POO (a.k.a. U+1f4a9) in vim in…tuitively. For certain notions of intuition.
As a veteran of writing texts in TeX, I've long tended to not bother with “interesting” characters (like the quotes I've just …
Ich hatte gerade einer armen Seele zu helfen, die drei Bücher mit Microsoft Word für Windows geschrieben hat und dazu Word-Zentraldokumente verwendet hat, vor allem wohl, weil vor 20 Jahren – als diese …
Since there hasn't been real snow around here this year until right this morning, I've been running xsnow off and on recently[1]. And that made me feel the lack of a compositor on my everyday desktop. Certainly, drop shadows and fading windows aren't all that necessary, but I've been …
I'm reading PDFs quite a bit, most of them in my beloved zathura. So, I was dismayed when today I paged through a book that showed in zathura as on the left side of this figure:
The metrics are off so badly that readability suffers.
