There is always something interesting to catch in NUE.

What promised to be a rather uneventful day in NUE, turned out to be anything but.

The third day of 2025 dished out this winter's first (and maybe last) snow followed by sunny weather: a perfect opportunity to venture out.

Summers in our neck of the wood are getting increasingly hot.

This is my 2024 report.

With just a few hours before 2025 arrives, it's safe to assume that this is going to be the last post of 2024.

We flew back to Germany from Aalborg.

On our way to Denmark, we made a short stop in Amsterdam.

A quick ADS-B station update.

Yesterday, my ADS-B station broke a new record by tracking no fewer than 120 (yes, that's one hundred twenty) aircraft.

So last weekend I went to Frankfurt.

We plan to spend the Christmas break with my in-laws in Denmark, which means interacting with people — a lot.

You may or may not have noticed, that this very blog has been down for a while.

ADS-B station prominently shows the number of aircraft in its range.

Up until now, I've been using my ADS-B station with a generic 1090 antenna.

Geeqie (pronounced geeky) doesn't come up often in conversations about useful Linux photography tools, and that's a crying shame.

Good weather, a thermos with hot coffee, a home-made sandwich, and, of course, a camera is all I need to have an enjoyable time at NUE (or any airport for that matter).

Using something like YAD, you can add GUI elements (dialogs, input forms, drag-and-drop panels, etc.) to shell scripts on Linux.

Global warming and the unfolding climate collapse is a tragedy, so I kind of feel bad enjoying the absolutely gorgeous and unusually warm and sunny for late November Monday.

We didn't plan to travel this weekend.

My ADS-B station automatically takes a screenshot of the tar1090 interface whenever it detects an interesting airplane.

My humble Fujitsu Futro S720 running Debian makes a decent home server.

I woke up this morning only to discover that an Eastern Boeing 767-336(ER) (reg.

Despite all the precautions taken during our trip to Helsinki, we managed to catch a cold.

Here's a problem: I need to modify content of a specific EXIF tag in RAW files, and I want to use exiv2 for that.

Recently, I rediscovered Unison.

No so long ago, I added notes to Tinble.

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.

Bad news: installing a network tool broke my internet connection, because the damn thing made changes to the /etc/resolv.conf file.

dmpop.xyz is one-year old today.

Tinble's appearance is now controlled by the --main-color variable in the styles.css file.

I've tweaked the Tinble logo yet again for no reason whatsoever.

Say, you want to use a USB storage device with your Linux home server.

> One industry that hasn't yet gone far through this cycle is large commercial aircraft (i.e: jetliners), which remains dominated by Boeing and Airbus, even within China.

The forecast this Saturday looked encouraging, and Flighradar24 promised a rare visitor in our neck of the woods.

A few week ago, I scored a Fujitsu Futro S720 passively cooled mini PC (technically, it's a thin client) with an AMD GX-217GA processor, 4GB RAM and an 8GB mSATA SSD.

Even though we live only a 5-hour train ride away from Hamburg, going there can be a costly affair.

I have a soft spot for Airbus A340, and especially the -600 variant.

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.

After trialing SearXNG for a while, I decided to host my own SearXNG instance.

Although I don't care much for dark themes, I've added a simple dark theme to Tinble anyway.

No prizes for guessing where I spent Thursday, Friday, and Saturday morning.

When I need to update content of this very Tinble-based blog, I usually do that via SSH.

Even though the missus and I weren't feeling all that well, we decided to go on a weekend trip to Frankfurt.

Just a quick update to let you know that Tinble now uses the unified content directory for storing articles, pages, drafts, and images.

Although I have been sick like a dog for almost two weeks, I spent most of my couch time productively.

I've tweaked the Tinble logo, because I wanted something simpler and with punchier colors than the current one.

I've added a tiny block of code to Tinble, and now you can pin articles, so they always appear at the top of the article list no matter the date they were published on.
