As a hobby mail everything is fun (from MUAs to sieve). If it needs to be reliable it's not. Don't miss self-hosting my email service either ("has the response to my application arrived or did I fail to receive it").
As power autarky and energy stability is a major backbone of economic and defense capabilities a mere billion here or there should be absolutely worth it. You need an energy source mix in the end, and this is part of…
I enjoy travel and transport because when on a trip between points A and B nothing can bother me or influence my trajectory. "I know I'll spend the next 5 hours on this train". This provides an oddly relaxing feeling of…
Not a good idea if you, in the future, may actually need Adobe's services again.
Europe is not using Facebook or Instagram, it runs on WhatsApp. In some big Western European countries WhatsApp is the monopoly messenger for a lot of people (SMS/MMS always was overpriced so people looked for an…
I understand very well as I'm German. Anybody who is usefully skillful and economically useful will be earning north of 57k. Anybody who is all that and earning less than the equivalent German is a means to keep…
> multi-account containers are the only major feature I could name that makes a major difference. And for me, that's a key difference. Chrome, Chromium, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, all garbage --- staying logged into several…
I jealously preserve my time and habit of reading lots of books because it's a main contrast to digital life. A welcome pause from the distractions of nonlinearity in online media and electronic devices (such as e…
Don't leave anything of significance walled in behind a Google, Apple, Amazon, or really any other account. Only physically accessible copies of your data belong to you. Everything I upload to "a" cloud, I immediately…
This is a problem with all proprietary software. For example, it's impossible to install most "bought" Windows software outside of dedicated VMs for me and stay happy because (a) most "enterprise" installers still want…
The soundtrack is very good.
Just not this stuff, any stuff without review. A lot of Windows advice has sadly always been the equivalent of curl | sudo bash - and the culture proliferates this practice. But it also highlights that Windows 10 is…
I personally like where macOS is going: immutable base OS tree, accessing user content folders requiring per-application approval (wish I could also just grant per-application read or write access). I am personally a…
Any banking core system migration that's in the news is a gigantic incident. A testament to the state of IT infrastructure at big banks, and the people they trust with directing the development of these systems. A…

A friend is living in the Japanese sticks but on a Shinkansen line. He commutes via Shinkansen directly to Shinagawa station, almost next to his office. Zero changes, a 1hour train ride with reserved seating in a quiet…
Doesn't fly with zero trust in public policy administration. Which is the mindset I am currently forced to take. Too corruptible, esp. at the local level.
The list goes on, I have a pet peeve with matomo (aka piwik) for example. Impossible to do immutable containers --- it's just bad software design, not a fault of the language itself. But because these softwares are old…
My main issue is that people writing Java (or for the JVM) because of their backgrounds (app-level code printers) almost completely disregard how that code works on the JVM, at scale, in a highly responsive and/or high…
Well you'll be surprised what garbage Nightly surprised me with today [1]. Seemingly the goal is to remove anything that would let users distinguish UI elements based on habit and visual familarity. When did Safari last…
I don't self-host everything, for me it's enough if I can take out all my data. I have all my cloud hosted things mirror via rclone to local storage. So I'll gladly use git, IMAP, CalDav, CardDAV as a service but I'll…
I do not really understand how Microsoft could drop the ball that low on Windows 10 usability. It feels like a cramp to make something different but without any foundational insights how it could be better than past…
There are two such methods left in Germany, chipTAN and photoTAN which (can) use seperate, external generator devices which you can buy. If you have multiple banks however, like I do, it's mixn'match. The last method…
