I built myself a breakout cable for the ICOM microphone jack so I would have RX and TX audio and PTT all in one connector.

For the CQ WPX SSB in March 2026, I was a guest operator at DR1A in Goch.

Some weeks ago I discovered Immich and was immediately hooked and started feeding the family photo collection into it.

Information on this is sparse, so here’s a few notes in case I need this again: To use mods on a Minecraft server, a patched server with a mod loader is required.

Debian is running a “vcswatch” service that keeps track of the status of all packaging repositories that have a Vcs-Git (and other VCSes) header set and shows which repos might need a package upload to push pending changes out.

Back in 2015, when PostgreSQL 9.5 alpha 1 was released, I had posted the PostgreSQL data from Debian’s popularity contest. 8 years and 8 PostgreSQL releases later, the graph now looks like this: Currently, the most popular PostgreSQL on Debian systems is…

I had been looking around for some time if someone had already managed to get I/Q data from Icom’s IC-7610 HF transceiver without going through the binary-only hdsdr driver provided by Icom, but couldn’t find anything.

To talk to my IC-7610 via wireguard, I set up UDP port forwarding for ports 50001 50002 50003 on a raspi: domain (ip) { table filter { chain FORWARD { policy ACCEPT; } } table nat { chain PREROUTING { interface (wg0) {

LoRa APRS iGate The official documentation of https://github.com/lora-aprs/LoRa_APRS_iGate uses the PlatformIO plugin of MS Visual Studio Code.

Classic ham radio transceivers have physical connectors for morse keys and microphones.

pg_dirtyread Earlier this week, I updated pg_dirtyread to work with PostgreSQL 14. pg_dirtyread is a PostgreSQL extension that allows reading “dead” rows from tables, i.e. rows that have already been deleted, or updated.

The apt.postgresql.org repository has been extended to cover the arm64 architecture.

Users had often asked where they could find older versions of packages from apt.postgresql.org.

paste is one of those tools nobody uses [1].

After quite some time (years actually) of inactivity as Debian Account Manager, I finally decided to give back that Debian hat.

Now that Salsa is in beta, it’s time to import projects (= GitLab speak for “repository”).

About a week ago, I extended vcswatch to also look at tags in git repositories.

I knew it was about this time of the year 10 years ago when my Debian account was created, but I couldn’t remember the exact date until I looked it up earlier this evening: today :).

Today saw the release of PostgreSQL 9.5 Alpha 1.

At this year’s FOSDEM I gave a talk in the PostgreSQL devroom about Large Scale Quality Assurance in the PostgreSQL Ecosystem.

If you think this is confusing … $ mount sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=1008105,mode=755) devpts on /dev/p…
