Over the last 2 weeks I’ve been on-and-off working on improving the water supply. When I bought the property I thought that this part of the city simply got less good water. An easy thought to have…

Woah! Much to my own surprise I was able to connect a mouse to my Android tablet as well. Didn't know this is even a thing. I needed to reduce the pointer speed quite a bit until it felt right. My…

Cory over at coryd.dev recently had a post about how they've set up a pipeline to move saved RSS articles to an audio feed. I have a setup with similar functionality but a different pipeline. Cory's…

I like horror movies and earlier this week I watched "Obsession" with the older kids and am not sure what to think about it. And since I have a blog that doesn't though stop me from telling you about …

"Hmmm, probably an 8. On the other hand, why wouldn't I give it a 9? It's among the top 3 movies I've watched this year." -- Robert, struggling to rate. Robert wrote a post about rating movies and…

Anyone using Pop!_OS with Cosmic? I tried it when it was first released, but I looks like they've done a lot of dev work to it and it's improving all the time. Considering installing it again...…

A few of us were talking to one of the summer interns at work about age: Someone: How old do you think Kev is? Intern: [with all the confidence in the world] 50? I turn 42 in August. FML. 🤣 Thanks…

I had been debating with myself whether or not to order the 20th Anniversary Customization Set from Travelers Notebook and in the end couldn’t resist. I already own the 10th Anniversary box and for…

Stop taking loads of photos of the same thing with your phone. Del wrote a brief note to self recently, about having too many repeated "waste" pictures on his phone. This is my reply, which hopefully …

I broke from the norm, photography wise, yesterday. Instead of the usual 28-60 lightweight zoom, I took a 50mm prime lens. Meant I had to work a little harder for shots and crop in sometimes during…

High level hike to the lakes at Lagunillas de la Virgen and Misterioso yesterday. The latter is well named as cannot be seen from 30m away. Still some substantial snow banks that will probably remain …

I went for an 8km (5 mile) run this evening. I'm working my way up to 10km, but I think this was a little too much, too soon. We'll see how my middle-aged joints are in the morning... Thanks for…

To begin with, there was so much noise when starting out. Whenever I would mention learning Chinese most people would try to deter me, tell me its too difficult, it's not worth my time, and that AI…

Gestern war also Welt-ADHS-Tag? Habe ich leider verpasst. Ich war im Hyperfokus. Klingt wie ein Witz, der sich von selbst schreibt. Es wäre vielleicht sogar witzig - wenn - ja wenn es nicht so…

This weekend I felt myself coming down with the sickness. No this is not a Disturbed reference, but good taste. Anyway, I decided to take it easy and rest up in the hope that my body will fight it…

After four days of work, it's finally time: my new homepage based on #PureBlog is about 90% ready. 🚀 Still need to import a few old posts, set up #Webmentions, and iron out some minor details, but…

We're about to go on vacation. And I have decided not to take my newish Macbook Air M4. Just on the off-chance something might happen to my favorite piece of technology. And also: we'll be travelling …

Couple of months ago I’ve bought a house and 5 apartments. We’re hard at work to make them livable and nice looking. But from time to time the sewer would smell. Or so we thought… Yesterday I went on …

We now have a tiny Town Square at the bottom of the page. It's got birds, trees, benches, and a lamp or two. This is a lovely wee (free, open source) project from Cauê Napier. It's ephemeral, anon,…

I was given an old Voigtlander Bessa (Anastigmat Voigtar 1:7.7 version) and tested it with a roll of some expired Samsung 200 brand colour film with some good results. Didn't scan with the sprockets…

The Background I never had a console as a kid, I only had friends who had one. Nintendo's N64 hit my friend's rooms some time during elemental school so, consequently, I'd spend lots of time at other …

This week we’ve painted the bedroom in apartment 2. It’s all crisp looking and cotton white now. Neat! Last week the bedframes got delivered and my mom painted a couple of those already. In the…

I realised recently that my Leuchtturm1917 A5 dot-grid notebook was nearing the end. As in, it was nearly full - and not that it had worn out. Because although it sits in the bottom of my bag every…

Now I just need to keep going. I had some time to myself this evening, so decided that instead of distracting myself with a screen, I should do something purposeful with a screen. I have seen the…

Commercial models refuse a lot of legitimate requests. Here's why "uncensoring" an open-weight model is useful and how I achieved it. ⚠️ A note before we start. An uncensored model will answer almost …

I now run a Wireguard VPN-server inside an Incus container. The container has two interfaces. One on my LAN and one only shared with the host via Incus. The host runs a ssh-server that only binds to…

The coffee shop on the corner of Fleet Street was Julie and Morven's sanctuary from the relentless grind of criminal law. Mid-morning lattes were non-negotiable, even on the busiest days. "Did you…

Edit: A while ago I realized that the setup described here does not actually work. Using a read-only container breaks the intended update mechanism so I made the necessary changes and updated the…

"I'll only ever use an SSG for my blog!", I said, unconvincingly. Sometimes I don't want to. Sometimes Kev comes along and makes something like Pure Blog and I think, "Well, that's better!" I can't…
