Having an exclamation mark in an article title is bad style in my book, but I don't know how else to express my puppy-level excitement after a weekend spent at Danish Air Show 2026.

Even though I use my Bambu Lab A1 mini printer regularly, and I occasionally design my own parts, I still haven't progressed beyond Tinkercad.

Last Friday, I woke up to the news that Codeberg is officially banning vibe-coded projects.

I've had enough of using my Android smartphone for casual snapshotting, I said to myself one day.

As any self-hoster would tell you, having a way to access servers running on your home network from the outside world is a must.

Wednesday in EKSN wasn't looking promising airplane-wise, but I decided to bike there anyway, because a) the weather was wonderful, and b) I wanted to test our new backup bicycle that we bought second-hand.

Let me explain.

The moment I bought my Bambu Lab A1 mini 3D printer, I went looking for photography-related designs I could print.

When we moved to our new place not far from CNL, I hoped that I'd have occasional opportunities to photograph smaller private airplanes.

Every last Sunday of the month, our flight club (now that I'm a paying member, I take particular pride in saying "our") arranges an open house event.

The weather has been suspiciously good (albeit windy) lately, so I spent the last couple of days in CNL.

Last time I had a chance to photograph airliners was way back in February in AMS.

I host my open-source projects on Codeberg.

Whenever I'm traveling or photographing airplanes (or both), I use snapshots taken with my smartphone camera as a visual diary of my adventures.

I didn't quit my job per se — we moved to another country with higher living costs, and the company was unable (or unwilling, depending on how you look at it) to give me the required salary increase.

A lot happened this week aviation-wise.

Ironically, the home-brewed application I use most is also the most neglected one.

Say what you want about agentic coding, but thanks to the Zed editor paired with the MiniMax M2.5 model, I was finally able to build an application I've been dreaming about for as long as I have been using digiKam.

Today, I learned that my blog is on Bubbles.

A while ago, I contacted Sindal Flight Club to inquire about its activities and perhaps joining it.

This time it's a rather simple sketch running on my new favorite board — the ESP32-2432S028.

I've been obsessing with weather from the very moment we returned to Denmark.

Yesterday, I woke up in the morning and decided to build myself a Bongo Cat.

Last week, I biked to CNL twice, and both times I lucked out.

Two things happened last Saturday: 1) I finally had idle time, 2) the weather was perfect for riding a bike.

Now that my TERMINAL-1090 station and 5G router sit in the attic, I don't have them in line of sight.

Despite being super busy with practicalities of moving back to Denmark — unpacking, cleaning the house, and making it ours — I managed to spend a few hours working on TERMINAL-1090.

On my way from Germany to our new home in Denmark, I spent a couple of hours in AMS, capturing airplanes.

Ironically, after almost ten years in Germany and countless Brezen, I had the best one on my very last day in the country.

It's quite possible that today was my last visit to NUE before our move to Denmark, and I'm happy that I'm ending my time there on a high note.

Moving to a small town in Northern Jutland means moving far away from all airplane photography opportunities I enjoyed in Germany.

Yesterday, I discovered Mole.

The weather forecast promised +4°C.

On Sunday, I went to NUE to capture a Lockheed Martin KC-130J Hercules, and all I got was this below-average photo.

For some reason, I'm obsessed with camera battery chargers.

With all the packing and other back-to-Denmark-related tasks, spare time has become a precious commodity.

We went to FRA for what is likely to be our last visit in the foreseeable future.

My first visit of 2026 to NUE was a solid "meh" photography-wise.

It's an adorable collectible trinket in its own right, but camera it ain't.

This most likely the last Aviationtag I bought while in Germany.

I'm heavily relying on Breezy Weather for all my weather and forecasts needs.

Promising not to do something ever again is a tall order, but at least I'm going to give it a try.

This is my 2025 report.

Guten Rutsch, NUE!

Enabling an external USB Wi-Fi dongle on a Linux machine is a skill that is hardly in high demand these days -- until you have a Wi-Fi-deficient machine, and you want to add it to your wireless network.

I don't know if bit rot can be a real problem, but I have zero desire to find out when it's too late.
