Last time I had to leave an honest negative: the boy's action poses would not come out of the ROM.

Parameters, MoE, GGUF, Q4_K_M, RAG, MCP: I use AI every day and still didn't get half of these words.

A monthly budget that fills up from the deficit I bank, plus a weekly cap on sugar.

Fast jeder Tag im Kalorien-Kalender war gelb oder rot, weil die Farbskala noch auf festen Schwellen von 700 und 300 kcal stand.

23 GPX tracks, a physics model and a route planner that first suggested a loop without a single new kilometre.

My employer gives me a 50-euro Media Markt voucher as a PDF every month.

After getting so cozy with the Zigbee thermostats and temperature sensors, I've now grabbed four Zigbee plugs to test.

I bought myself an Anthbot Genie 600 robot mower and wanted to know what it was up to.

I have 6 Zigbee devices for heating control: 4 Sonoff thermostats (TRVs) and 2 temperature sensors.

While cleaning up my Grafana dashboards I noticed that my Viessmann Vitoladens 300-C cycles way too often: 17-52 burner starts per day, averaging just 9 minutes per run.

My Grafana dashboard was one single giant page with everything crammed in: server stats, Fritzbox, heating, power, PV - all in collapsed rows.

After the Flightradar ADS-B setup one thing was clear: RTL-SDR is a blast and I want to receive more.

I wanted to know what's flying around up there, so I first applied for a free Flightradar24 receiver kit.

I'm currently heating my 1980s old building into the ground and I have no idea whether the heating curve is right.

This guide offers a clear, practical step-by-step structure for building a stable colony and successfully finishing the game via the classic spaceship ending.

I needed a way to easily and quickly define lots of redirects for my blog.

At the end of 2017 we replaced the 40-year-old oil heating with a new system from Viessmann.

My new inverter offers a wide range of data points that I actively log.

Over the next few posts I want to explain what data I collect in my house and how it gets processed.

As promised, here are a few more Docker containers from my homelab.

I had to check which SSH key is stored on Github.

Up to now I sorted our photos by hand into the following folder structure: Year/Month/Day/imagename-number.format Over time, though, this gets tedious and error-prone.

It's been a long time since I really worked with C++ seriously.

The following Docker containers are currently running in my homelab.

Today I focused entirely on Blender and learned how to work with it.

Well, that's that.

A small class that shows how some developers obfuscate values in their games to prevent memory editing.

I'm playing a lot of Rimworld right now and wanted to build a small proof of concept of the base-building system.

I had to make sure I wasn't missing any events.

For my current project I need to check that a list of transactions contains no duplicates (based on the transaction ID).

A few game developers get together every month to code games, drink, talk and have a good time.

Created a Kaitai struct for .chr files in Silver.

First attempt at binary patching.

Tinkered with the Silver Trainer again.

While I was inspecting Silver's memory, I found these phrases.

Got a DLL proxy working for the first time.

I managed to call an internal game function directly from injected code.

Built my first game trainer in C++.

For the first time I injected my own DLL into a running process.

I wanted to back up all my games from GOG.

When I use Debian, I sometimes hear pretty heavy distortion, lags and crackling while listening to Spotify or playing games.

I needed a way to start the Android emulator without having to open Android Studio.

Early screenshot of Turbo Mage, a little game I built during a gamedev gathering.

Early prototype of a pirate game.

I had to split a CSV with 14k entries into several files because the import crashed on one of our servers when I imported everything at once. # split -l lines file_to_split output/ $ split -l 4000 export.csv export/venues $ ls venues venuesaa venuesab ven…

#ssh -f user@remotehost -L localport:127.0.0.1:remoteport -N $ ssh -f root@database -L 3307:127.0.0.1:3306 -N Now it is possible to connect to a remote mysql database via the tunnel.

With these snippets I can create a complete dump of a MySQL database. dump mysqldump --host="xyz" \ --user="xyz" --password="xyz" \ --default-character-set=latin1 \ --result-file=".

Prototype for automatically recognizing trading cards via camera.

Further development of the trading bot: now it can test different strategies on historical data.

First prototype of a trading bot for Ripple.
