I wish I came up with this clever pun, but Helsinki airport beat me to it.
An HDMI capture card and an HDMI cable is all you need to stream the video output of a camera to a Linux machine running the VLC media player. This can come in useful when you need to take screenshots of the camera's interface or record...
Bad news: installing a network tool broke my internet connection, because the damn thing made changes to the /etc/resolv.conf file. Good news: after some frantic research, the following commands fixed the issue.
dmpop.xyz is one-year old today. I set it up on a whim to serve as my journal. Surprisingly, the habit of documenting my coding and photography exploits stuck, so here I am, writing a celebratory speech. It's going to be a short one....
Tinble's appearance is now controlled by the --main-color variable in the styles.css file. But what does this mean? It means that you can change the color of all main elements (title, menus, buttons, and cards) by modifying the default...

Even though we live only a 5-hour train ride away from Hamburg, going there can be a costly affair. I did book a trip early this year, but I had to cancel it for reasons that I don't recall now. I pretty much gave up the idea of visiting...
I have a soft spot for Airbus A340, and especially the -600 variant. So the article Which Airlines Are Still Flying the A340-600? is right up my alley. I was also pleased to discover that the article uses my photo as a title image.
In the sea of mediocrity that is YouTube, there are plenty of "aviation" channels you can spend countless hours watching yet learning absolutely nothing of value about aviation. You can, of course, get exciting insights in what First...
After trialing SearXNG for a while, I decided to host my own SearXNG instance. In case you are not familiar with SearXNG, it's a metasearch engine that pulls search results from multiple sources, such as Google, Qwant, Brave Search,...
Although I don't care much for dark themes, I've added a simple dark theme to Tinble anyway. It was just a matter of adding the following to the styles.css file, after all:
