In the interest of honesty — and mild self‑dragging — I should add a post‑script to yesterday’s rant.

TL;DR: A frustrated dive into Zola’s jump to Tera 2 — where macros vanish, shortcodes die, components misbehave, and a “20‑minute migration” turns into hours of template chaos.

TL;DR: The MediaTek MT7922 supports WPA3 the same way I support marathon running: enthusiastically in theory, catastrophically in practice.

Here’s another visual mixtape from the past couple of months — apparently I took a brief sabbatical from posting.

This edition is a tour through the usual chaos: fonts committing crimes, AI pretending to be management, retro‑tech experiments nobody asked for, and corporations reminding us that ownership is mostly a polite fiction.

Daniel recently published an article about why trailing dots are his worst enemies and the issues curl had to wrestle with while handling them.

Welcome back to Hyperlink Havoc — the ongoing experiment where I pretend to have control over my browser tabs.

Every now and then I toy with the idea of self‑hosting this page again instead of relying on Codeberg Pages — and, most likely unnoticed by any of you, I’ve actually gone ahead and migrated everything to a VPS from Infomaniak.

Hyperlink Havoc is basically the classic link dump you’ve probably seen on other people’s pages — only this one is curated by me, filled with things I’ve read and found interesting or resonant in some way.

Here’s another visual mixtape from the past couple of weeks.

I created my PlayStation Network account back when I got my PS4, and every now and then I like to change my profile image.

A visual mixtape of the past couple of weeks — no themes, no filters, just spontaneous slices of life caught in passing.

Of course, I don’t intend to compare a password manager with a desktop application for static sites.

Every now and then, you come across an issue that is completely beyond your comprehension.

This is a quick update on the zooming issue I mentioned in my last post.

Last weekend I was going for a short trip to the Truebsee, a lake which is just below the Titlis peak.

Switching to a new mobile device is always exciting!

Do you know the difference between education and experience?

A lot of people have joined the party to post their default applications for the end of 2024, which you may have seen popping up here and there.

Before I got my current phone, a Fairphone 4, I used to use a OnePlus 7t, which was pretty much on the shelf since I switched, but for various reasons I had to reactivate the phone.

I came across this post by monocyte, which is a response to the questionnaire set up by Dabi.

Holy Moly!

I’m certainly no stranger to developing web-based user interfaces or websites, something which I had been doing for the better part of my career though I also have to admit that my knowledge might be a little dated nowadays.

Lately I was tinkering with the CSS of my blog a lot.

While the update to the latest Fedora release has been smooth as always, there is a minor scaling issue occuring afterwards.

September somewhat passed in a blink of an eye and I do not have the feeling that I actually achieved anything of note.

What’s the saying?

July is no more and we are in the mid of the summer vacation season.

Watching I finished Panchayat which is such a gem, an absolute delight that captures the heart and soul of rural India with such grace and humor.

Mustafa Suleyman dropped this absolute gem of audacity: I think that with respect to content that’s already on the open web, the social contract of that content since the ‘90s has been that it is fair use.

Watching Oh boy, Season 4 of Star Trek: Discovery was every single bit as painful as I thought it will turn out, but I finished it.

Watching Ever had that moment when you start an episode, the previously on sums up the events and you’re like: I have no effin memory of this?

Oh boy, compiling a new in a nutshell took me definitely longer than expected and originally intended.

Reading Tusky is a quite popular Mastodon client which faced a bit of an uproar recently due to the Stepping back from the Tusky project post by Nik Clayton.

This post is the result of some long pending clean ups of my laptop and desktop setups which led to delving into mounting options for network storage (served by CIFS) as I relied on fstab based auto mounts on both devices and figured they were not necessa…

The global configuration file for git resides usually at ${HOME}/.gitconfig which is also the place where settings like git config user.name "John Doe" end up when you set them (only when applied outside of a git repository).

Geez, it’s been quite a while since the last In a Nutshell posting, but this was indeed a crazy year so far which came with a lot of changes in my private but also professional life.

Reading I just started to read The Garden Of Rama by Arthur C.

Let me illustrate this post with Justin Peter Löwenbräu Griffin: As long as I have been contributing to MetalMittwoch I was relying on YouTube for linking to the videos, which was bogling me for quite a while now mostly due to privacy reasons.
