“All your base are belong to us”
I did something stupid again. I noticed it, when I received notifications from my Prometheus monitoring. The probe that sends HTTP requests to my Nextcloud server was failing. Strangely, no other probes were failing. No high load, no memory exhaustion, no filesystem running full. Manual testing confirmed that all my other web-apps worked as expected, …

Background I’ve been living without a proper TV for the past 20 years. Nevertheless, I’m consuming a shitload of video content. Mostly streaming services; the usual suspects. But also select contents from Germany’s public TV stations. So far, I’ve been watching such videos on my laptop computer – I get a lot of screen-time there, …

Yesterday my employment contract ended, after more than ten years at a big software company. I feel free now. Weirdly. Cause it’s not like I wasn’t free in my work there. I had a lot of freedom in what I was working on and how I organized my work. And, I was working alongside some …
I’m using the Czech spelling here, rather than the more common Polish Bóbr Kurwa — meaning (nsfw) and pronunciation are much the same anyway. It’s just because this has happened in Czechia recently: V okolí Padrťských rybníků v chráněné krajinné oblasti Brdy postavil bobr hned několik hrází a vytvořil tak přírodní mokřad. Právě takový chtěla …
I guess I should not dabble in French wordplay, since I barely know the language. However, my surf trip this year did take me to the Atlantic coast of Nouvelle-Aquitaine and I did get to know many new waves… Unlike previous years, I was too lazy to keep a detailed surf diary. But I’d still …
Another train trip, this time to the French Atlantic coast. (So, pronounce the title of this post in French, please!) After questionable financial outcome of a similar trip 2 years ago, I gave Interrail another shot. This time, I put more effort into upfront planning and bought the smallest Interrail pass that fit my journey. …
Well, thanks for the warning, Google Maps: Now I’m wondering: Do you know something about Austria that I’m not aware of? Or are you just upset about Austropop, après-ski, Opernball, and what happened in Braunau? I should mention that I was planning a car trip from Munich to the Friuli region. (Shout-outs to Lago 3 …

Just returned from one of my yearly surf-trips, this time revisiting Morocco. Here is some old pics, from when I visited there back in 2011: Unlike last year in Iberia or the year before that in Zanzibar, I only had four weeks. So I wanted to do less sight-seeing and traveling, and focus more on …

I’ve been using OpenPGP for email signing (and very rarely for email encryption) for ages. In fact, the key that I’ve been using so far is from 2001: This key (actually two sub-keys, one for signing, one for encryption) has a fairly low size by today’s standards. I’ve been aware of this for ages, but …
I’m running Ubuntu on my laptop, using the standard disk-encryption that the Ubuntu installer provides. (Well, the one it provided a couple of years back, when I last installed from scratch.) This setup uses cryptsetup with LUKS on the main partition. This in turn contains an LVM physical volume, which contains a volume group with …
