You want high-quality connected speakers for your home without depending on shitty apps that stop working in a year?

This is the first article in a series discussing some of the underlying properties of C++ ranges and in particular range adaptors.

I have a small server running in my flat that serves files locally via NFS and remotely via Nextcloud.

This post documents how to toggle your entire desktop between light and dark themes, including your apps and the websites in your browser.

When designing library code, one often wonders: “Are these all the parameters this function will ever need?”

With increasing bandwidths, live-streaming of video games is becoming more and more popular – and might further accelerate the demise of the desktop computer.

C++ Ranges are one of the major new things in C++20 and “views” are a big part of ranges.

In this article I will outline the setup of my (not so) new firewall at home.

C++17 was officially released last year and the work on C++20 quickly took off.

Modern CPUs have quite a few features that generic amd64/intel64 code cannot make use of, simply because they are not available everywhere and including them would break the code on unsupporting platforms.

After having moved from FSFE’s wordpress instance I thought long about whether I still want to have comments on the new blog.

I have moved my blog from https://blogs.fsfe.org/h2 to my own web-space.

Combining multiple git repositories today is rather common, although the means of doing so are far from perfect.

During the last year hell seems to have frozen over: our corporate overlords neighbours at Apple, Google and Facebook have all pushed for crypto in one way or another.

Since posts like these often helped me setup some device, I thought I’d write one as well this time.

Last summer I blogged about secure messaging and why FSFE cares about it (and why you should, too!).

Most you have probably set your system aliases to receive root’s e-mail, and that of course is a very good idea so you are kept up to date.

With a minor delay, here is the photo of the month for September.

Originally I had wanted to post a different picture, but sadly the war against the Palestinian people has seen yet another level of escalation, so here’s a picture in solidarity with the Palestinians and all other people suffering from war and oppression.

I have just backed a wonderful looking independent dystopian RPG on Kickstarter!

I decided to start a photo-of-the-month series; hopefully I will be able to keep it up.

Heard of WhatsApp?

I finally managed to update graphics/luminance to 2.3.1.

I am looking for a good way to publish images as copyleft.

As most of you know, I use FreeBSD as my main Desktop-OS.

This is my current wallpaper on my desktop.

Since I have had more and more spam coming through the filters and annoying me no end, I decided to restrict commenting to registered users (which are only FSFE fellows).

While spring and early summer are claiming Berlin now and most folks are out enjoying the change, I thought I’d post a late winter picture.

I thought I’d cover how I got to my current dual-boot on my Transformer.

Here’s the picture that is used in the header and which inspired the title of the blog.

Dear readers, I have changed the look and feel on my blog a little.

I posted an article on tracking memory usage a while ago.

This is a pretty serious one: there are no proper E-Mail apps for Android tablets.

Next weekend we are going to have a small hackathon in Berlin to port/fix/implement disk encryption on various Android devices.

… or why using Linux can be a pain, when you come from the BSD-world.

Ok, so you know that I am using Android, and that I am not too happy with the situation.

I have this tablet since two or three months now and I must say, I pleasently surprised with the hardware.

Hi everyone, ok so there haven’t been posts in while, because I was incredibly busy, but I do plan on finishing the line of posts concerning my audio setup.

This post covers storage and organisation of the files.

Here are the general components of the setup, as well as planned components.

Since it might be useful to some other people I want to document my audio setup in a few blog posts.

Hi everyone, we are currently preparing a major update to PDFReaders.org, adding: a more appealing and cleaner “home”-page, with one recommendation for the auto-detected platform Free pdf reader recommendations for mobile platforms Free pdf browser plugin…

I have recently decided to use PGP / GnuPG to sign and encrypt emails, and I also recently switched from KMail (after using it for ~10 years) to Thunderbird [the why of the latter is a longer story I might tell some other time].

Since quite a few people have been asking me for my awesome config, I thought I’d upload it.

As I am currently located in China, I thought I’d give all of you some technical infos on the current censorship techniques employed here.

Thanks to Hugo, for finding a bug in the version 0.2 with non-[.de|com] domains.

I decided to rewrite the script.

I have uploaded a userscript that you can use to support FSFE when buying at Amazon.

After the last test post, I am now convinced that the blog and the micro-blogs work.

I have posted a lengthy answer on Bernhard’s blog[1], why I don’t think “product” is a suitable term.
