Hi, I'm Dominik Schwind, friend of the internet. And this is my blog.

I know this might be slightly controversial for my fellow developers, but: I tend to prefer a (good) GUI over the CLI. Git? Please, hand me a pretty client with colorful lines and a few buttons and functions to manage my branches....
I’ve been handling a lot of WordPress this week. At work, oh boy, and also around here on my blog. My database woes are documented, everything else doesn’t need to be mentioned and can get lost in the rivers of time. At least as far as I...
Just when I was about to go to bed my phone told me that my blog was down. Very inconvenient. So I poked around a bit, turns out: the disk was full and a computer with no space to work with doesn’t really want to deliver websites. So....
I’m altogether thinking about Taskmaster too often. I don’t think there has been a timespan longer than two days in a row for quite some time when I didn’t rewatch single tasks or read/listen to/watch some secondary media. Reply by email
Sometimes I think I could write a novel. I mean, how hard could it be, right? And then I realise I don’t really have any stories in me. Best I can do is small vignettes and what’s the point there? It wouldn’t even be a short story. Oh...
More and more I’m aware of people who talk to AI chat bots like they would with friends – about this and that, their life, just chatting. And while I begrudgingly while completely ignoring the environmental and moral issues see why...
Another rather unremarkable week. For a quick moment I really got into collecting and posting links, enough so, that I documented my workflow.All of this is good fun but also feels like something is missing. And weirdly enough it seems...
My blog shows likes and reposts again. Nice. Reply by email
TIL: RTFM or rather RTFC – if you’re using DDEV for your WordPress project and you don’t want it to overwrite the wp-config.php every time it starts, just delete the whole comment block on the top. You know, the one where it tells you to...
Teymur asked me, probably hoping for some kind of automation. Alas, there is none. And still, here is my “workflow” for my link blog. Step 1: Input I find articles, links, etc. all over the place. Many of them come through Mastodon and...
Last night I played around with some infrastructure as code for my (too many) little side projects and I finally made it work. Sometimes it’s weird little gotchas and the decision not to overengineer everything more than necessary....
You know how I notice that I don’t have good nap/sleep hygiene lately? I just realised I called my last weeknotes post “Nap Hygiene” because I wanted to mention my bad sleeping patterns during that week and completely forgot about it...
I went to a photowalk in Basel this weekend – the folks there and me did some calculations, it had been two years since the last one, which feels long. It has been fun and we’ll do it more often in the near future, I guess.(Related:...
I often wake up with a random song as an earworm – and now I note them down for your enjoyment. This morning it was It’s That Time by Marlon Hoffstadt aka DJ Daddy Trance Reply by email
Same week as the week before. Still in this weird float state. At least today I managed to drag myself out of the house with a camera in my hand, which was helpful. Drowning out the voices in my head with a rewatch of The Wire, which is...
