One of the topics I am currently investing a bit more research in, given my recent move to cut my hair, is razors, shaving, skull shaving, shaving blades, electric shavers, and everything around that. I even created a subpage listing the razors I am using. One thing I wonder about, especially since I am not finding...

Whether I stroll through the park, cycle through the countryside, or simply take a short break on a bench outdoors, the sight of the green nature has an incredibly calming effect on me. My mood improves instantly. And the best part: all those options aren’t far away. 📷🌳 Interactions & Comments

Yesterday evening, I finally did the last step and shaved off the remaining few millimeters of hair on my head. This morning, I took the chance and prompted a new avatar that represents my current style. I know, AI-generated stuff everywhere sucks, but I really like this one, and it looks quite accurate. 👨🏼‍🦲...

I knew of the existence of paperless-ngx for a long time. A new YouTube video now finally gave me the push to set up an instance on my VPS. It’s configured to use Bunny.net storage using S3 and rclone for the media files, and a restic backup is configured to regularly back up the bucket to Scaleway. Now I just need...

I usually do my bike tours after work or on the weekend during the day. Yesterday, I did it in the evening. It was very nice, and some views (sadly, the camera on my bike phone isn’t that great) felt quite epic. I also managed to drink enough carbohydrates to not feel weak, but unfortunately it made me sleep badly...

Today I took my camera again and tried some other motives in nature. This swan was one of them. I activated RAW images and tried to do some lite editing, first with Darktable, but then I chose RawTherapee, as that tries to adjust the settings to match the camera style. There’s so much to learn. I feel so overwhelmed...

I bought a new (used) camera on eBay. A Panasonic LUMIX G91 (also known as G90 or G95) with the LUMIX 14-140mm f3.5-5.6 lense. I took it for a short walk around the block and quite like the results so far, but I definitely have to get more practice and confidence with real cameras. The camera was sold for a pretty...

I will mostly post about the places we visited on our honeymoon on the German part of this blog, but for you to enjoy, here are the photos from the first post. 🏞️ Interactions & Comments

While I mainly used the PDF reader integrated into Firefox on Android to view PDFs on my phone so far, I now have a new favorite PDF reader. What bugged me about the reader in Firefox was especially the performance when viewing big PDFs like newspapers. It always took a second or so to rerender when zooming or going...

And here we go again; another month has flown by. July was a particularly eventful month for me and my wife. The first half of the month was filled with preparations for the wedding, in addition to the usual annual tax return: ordering bouquets, final confirmations with the service providers, and spontaneously...

The second part with the free wedding ceremony is now also finished. It was such a nice day, thanks to everyone who was there, helped, and made this day the best day in our lives! Cheers on our love and now also our marriage! 🥂♥️ Interactions & Comments

I have a use case where I need to copy files from Nextcloud to S3 storage using my phone, and I think I finally found the perfect apps for this. While I use rclone on my PC, I wasn’t aware of any app for this on Android. But there actually is some: RSAF (available on GitHub or F-Droid). It uses rclone and provides...
