I've started to revive my "1 week projects"-project.

Which amount of money would improve my life significantly?

I updated my AI setup.

I like the book "The Sovereign Child" by Aaron Stuple.

Widely-known topics: I use lumo by Proton for these topics because of the privacy aspects.

So I tried a lot of programming languages: Pascal, Delphi, JavaScript, TypeScript, Rust, Visual Basic, and some more.

After a stressful day, one of the best activities to do is going out for a bike ride.

I keep money simple: a two fund portfolio. 90% global equities: FTSE All-World Index 10% global bonds: Global Aggregate Bond Index There is some non-positive correlation, meaning when one goes up the other does not, so there is some risk-minimizing.

06.30: getting up, making breakfast for family, household chores 07.30: feeding kids, having breakfast, talking to SO 08.30: leaving for work (bike/train/car) 15.15: arriving from work, eating, relaxing 16.00: household chores, playing with kids 17.30: fe…

Where have all the Third places gone?

Seeing my children smile at me when I come home is one of the best moments of my day.

Some interesting links: about AT Protocol and Open Social The Right Kind of Abstraction

In den letzten Monaten mit Kindern ist das für mich ein drückendes Thema: Wie kann ich alle Dinge erledigen, die ich erledigen möchte?

Why is this stuff in my life?

Since I have children now, I have to learn to set my priorities more strictly and rigidly.

If you want to find your own way, at some point you have to leave the well-trodden path of others.

Der Morgen gibt mir viel Wunderbares.

We will have two kids at the end of the year.

Six months since my last post.

I just did some awk to filter through my caddy logs.

As I stated in many posts, I like simple tools.

I love the idea of the Renaissance man.

I finally made it through Clean Craftsmanship by Uncle Bob.

Now with local, privacy-respecting AI available, I started playing around with it.

Although I have a dedicated page for the stuff I use, I reply to kevquirk's post. to-do: pen and paper calendar: pen and paper reading: pen and paper shopping lists: pen and paper notes: vim with markdown files contacts: vim with vcf files word processing:

I just recently setup our tablet device from scratch.

Things I do differently: I prefer simple things: dinner: bread, quark, veggies; commuting: bicycle; todos: pen and paper; clock: Casio wristwatch etc.

I am a human.

Nowadays everyone is talking about AI.

Back when I coached some soccer kids, I had this heuristic: The kid with the best equipment was mostly not the best player, mostly not even in the upper third.

I don't watch that much stuff, but when I watch something, it's Arte, a French/German TV station: Wikipedia Invidious

After all the dark days full of sleep, spring is awakening.

I'm currently a lot into conceptual thinking.

My last post is 5 months old.

We own stuff.

Most of us read the news.

So when you are interested in something, you want to stay up-to-date.

I just watched this interesting episode of the Lex Fridman Podcast with the social scientist Jonathan Haidt: The Case Against Social Media.

I love the wiki of Piotr Wozniak.

Been away from the blog for some weeks.

Although I don't read that many books nowadays, because a lot of them feel like procrastination, I can recommend one: 4000 weeks by Oliver Burkeman I love hardship, but it's hard for me to talk about it, because I have the feeling that everyone around me…

Over the last few weeks I stepped up my (relational) database game.

I love this one.

Got this letter from my bank: some products will get merged, I'll get a new card and so on.

I started using dokku back in 2020, but because I didn't have that much knowledge about the concepts, I somehow quit using it.

Since this invasion started, I read a lot of news about it.

I love the boring stuff.

Which trackers do your smartphone apps have?

I've found a great tool on mastodon with which you can test your privacy awareness - privat-o-mat.

I used Nextcloud for ~2 years now.
