Alles neu! Ne. Aber ich hab mal wieder ordentlich hier rumgeschraubt.

🥴 Durchatmen 😮‍💨

Ich darf ruhig mal wieder was ins Internet nei schreib’.

🤣 that’s nice!

auch schön, dass der @ix@wirres.net jetzt #gotosocial benutzt, auf mstdn.wirres.net. kchkch.

auch schade, dass ich das mit den splitdomains nicht von anfang an gemacht habe.

This site now runs fully on my [[homeserver]], after the tests with www. went perfectly fine.

It’s time to say goodbye to my OpenBSD server. ciao srv.

I have a copy of my web home running on www.muhh.lol on my home server and it’s now guarded by anubis. Anubis is running on the exposed host that proxies to my home lab using a mesh network.

I guess I could migrate main to this setup as well, making my OpenBSD server redundant. hmm.

But then I need to figure out how to decouple website deployment from my nixos system build.

A couple of days ago I finally figured out how to handle secrets deployment using sops-nix on remote hosts. And now there’s a headscale network replacing tailscale, connecting a VPS through caddy as a proxy with my home network. For now only immich is available from my home workstation, with a first example gallery from my walk yesterday morning.

Isn’t that nice?

📷 Making a dedicated account on my #gotosocial to post pics to: @pics@goto.muhh.lol Not styled yet though…

💫 Plain Text; Paper, Less.

PTPL stands for Plain Text; Paper, Less. It’s a reflection of my philosophy that important digital information should always be stored in plain text, and that using less paper in an intentional, sustainable way is better than being “paperless”.

I encourage the intentional use of the tools before us, both digital and analog. You don’t get a medal for being paperless, but it’s worth considering using less paper when digital tools can do the job better (and vice versa).

I’m rather angetan with what bunny.net DNS stuff can do. It’s serving this domain right now.

CCC fordert Notbremse für den Überwachungskatalog im Koalitionsvertrag

Mit dem Mantra, uns zu einer „KI-Nation“ zu mutieren, sinkt die Koalition vor den neuen Maschinen-Gutsherren schon vorsorglich auf die Knie, mit Schattengeheimdiensten wie Palantir inklusive.

In der Folge liefert das Papier ein Diktaturbesteck, schlüsselfertig und maßgeschneidert. Die Folgeregierung leckt sich schon die repressionsfreudigen Klauen.

Bei der SPD haben noch die Mitglieder die Chance, die Notbremse zu ziehen und den Abbau wichtiger Grundrechte zu verhindern. Wir appellieren daher an die Sozialdemokraten: Stimmt dieser Überwachungsliste nicht zu!

Alleine gestern von “KI-Fabriken” im Radio zu hören… 🤦

💫 10 Things I Hate About NixOS

The most frustrating thing about NixOS? It’s like herpes—once you get it, you can’t un-get it.

I’m using a fountain pen and I like it.

Feels the same like when I started slow running slowly. 10 years ago. I’ve HATED only this sport, loved all the others.

👋 Reactivating this thing here on status.muhh.lol.

Gerade haben wir offiziell beschlossen den Coworking Würzburg e.V. aufzulösen.

Gerade durch einen Zufall ein als Osterei getarntes Wintersonnenwendegeschenk entdeckt.

Danke, _ben, es ist mir eine Freude!

💚 Elegant Hack - Strategy is Not War; It’s Gardening

I prefer gardening over war as a metaphor for strategy because it’s richer and more relatable. In gardening, there’s so much more going on than just fighting pests. You’re working with nature, creating something sustainable, and adapting to an ever-changing environment.

And let’s be honest: most of us haven’t been to war, but many of us have gardened—or at least played Stardew Valley. The language of war can feel alien and hyper-masculine. Gardening is universal, collaborative, and, frankly, a lot more relevant to the challenges of running a business in today’s world.

Just upgraded #GotoSocial with a few commands. Stop systemd unit, make a DB copy, unpack new release, adapt symlink, start systemd unit.

Easy peasy and the same way I handle my #Forgejo on code.muhh.lol and #Owncast on watch.muhh.lol.

KISS.

Why I tend to self-host all the personal things more and more? And increasingly use free software with a community that at least is active in development?

Exhibit Nr 17: Omnivore gets acquired by an AI startup.

I really like Omnivore.

Let’s see and check what else is there to use to read your fine stuff.

I’ve updated the front page by adding some info on the purpose of this place.

And there are going to be [</span>brackets]]</span> in use soon. Which reminds me that I need to update some [[[ideas]].

It’s Monday morning.
What better thing to do than move my social thing from social.lol to a private hut in the woods on one very small island?

Might get bumpy, but I hope not.

Made some adjustements to the echofeed config, so this should be a bit more styled and most of all: parsed markdown!

Good morning!

I really love this season most. fresh, a bit wet and soooo colorful.

a small test for #echofeed

🍃 switching crossposting from status.muhh.lol to the new service.

This is actually the first test.

Update: it didn’t work.

📺 I’m doing a coworking live stream right now on https://watch.muhh.lol. Let’s see if I get stuff done easier this way.

I’ll be at #DrupalCon in Barcelona in only 7 days! 😎🥳

This site now has an /ideas page.

pushed some buttons on this site. The color theme is now based on Everforest, the theme I use on my desktop everwhere. It’s just the perfect fit this time.

I’ve also switched the typeface to Berkely Mono. Which I want to switch to on the desktop as well. But that needs some nix sourcery to figure out.

You might see remainders in the CSS that I tested Departure Mono. But that was too much on its own. Even for me. I left it for now, I wnat to see how it looks like on headings and code blocks only.

Now only that logo needs some adaption.

🦗 Sitting on the stairs outside, listening to that cricket playing their last songs this year.

🏡 I feel like I want to go full Amish. Only with way more gods.

Beim Teutates!

Endlich daheim nach dem beschissesten Urlaub ever.

Dank Mietwagen ohne Rückfahrt in überfrachtetem COVID Bus und Zug. Wir wollen ja niemanden anstecken, nech?

Aber ging diesmal echt schnell vorbei, leider aber nicht bei allen in der Familie.

Ich bin immer noch genervt.

Sometimes you stumble across a blog that you want to read current to end in one go. uncountable thoughts by Chris Shaw is one like this. Instant blogroll‘ed.

🧹 cleaning up. Myself, my work, my space.

I’ve been mostly offline for a couple of days – being a happy camper – and I really didn’t miss the timelines.

I’m sticking to this for a while. See you in my feedreader. I hope you’ll find me there.

Good life news: I think it has a soundtrack again. Or a new one?
Anyways…

<3 music.

🍃 Updated my profile page’s content a little bit (how could I not setup proper icons?) and updated the theme to everforest which I now use everywhere.

Still love it - https://omg.muhh.lol

# nix --version  
nix (Lix, like Nix) 2.90.0-rc1

Ohai lix!

move slow & fix things

from Elle’s bio.

📺 Just setting my new wncst.

The new phone experiment is halted. Something is broken in there. Ringtones and vibration are off when it’s laying on it’s display or like this morning when it was in my bag.

This explains some missed alarms and other calls. Especially the this morning when school tried calling me to pick up my sick kiddo from school. And that’s a major blocker.

Let’s how their support team works…
SIM card is back in the iPhone which I reluctanly need to use now again. I’ve already deleted a lot of things on it though.

Die Zecken des Hundes haben Zecken. brrr.

Das Telefönchen ist da. Die AppleWatch entkoppelt. Weird, so ein einfaches Gerät. Aber auch so klein und nett.

Signal einzurichten war an sich einfach, aber die Kopplung am Desktop ist der Horror - 2x lange Keys mit 9 Tasten eintippen, weil’s keine Kamera für den QR Code gibt.

Hab mir gerade ein neues Telefon bestellt. Ich wollte ja mal ja auf ein gebrauchtes auf ein kleines iPhone 13 mini wechseln. Aber mittlerweile stößt mich dieses ganze “smart”Phone Gehampel so ab, dass nicht mal mehr ein Fairphone mich ausreichend überzeugt.

Dann schaumer mal, wie ich mit dem aufgebohrtem Dumpphone, einem Punkt MP02, klarkommen werde.

give me a challenge to post everyday and I completely stop. I should have bet some money against myself. hehe.

It’s fascinating how I changed from so-called “Apple Fanboy and missionary” to I couldn’t care less in a very short time. And that’s while still enjoying these computers very much. But I know that there is no new computer by them in my future.

☘️ Feeling lucky, having the means to do my monthly and weekly plan in such a beautiful scenery.

☕ Enjoying my early morning coffee before we leave.

New record: over 200k files in one directory. On a network file system. \o/

Good thing we’re out hiking tomorrow. No time to read tone deaf responses, but enjoy the woods and the time with my most precious person.

I’m so annoyed by that non-existing #NixOS community leadership, I’m short to drop all the work I invested in learning it and switch to something else.

But what are the options, especially if one enjoyed the full declarative and reproducible way the whole system was managed?

Argl.

It’s all so fucked up, it’s again time to thing about switching to carpenting and/or building terrariums. GNAAA.

I’m going on a little retreat today and there’s plenty of space left in my backpack. In goes the camera and even the trusted Fujinon XF35mmF1.4. Love that thing.

🚂 sitze im Zug und merke dass ich meine Badehose vergessen habe.

lazy sunday.

In der letzten Zeit zieht es mich irgendwie wieder mehr dahin, auf Deutsch zu schreiben. In meinen Notizen kommt das immer häufiger, im Blog hab ich mich noch garnicht so getraut. Irgendwie quatsch. Die Übersetzer sind mittlerweile ja wirklich so extrem gut, dass es da kaum noch Probleme gibt.

Or how do the english reading people see this? Oder meine Dschermen friends?

is this thing on? hello echo!

👋 Hello! I’m back from vacation and some even longer timeline absence. Happy to be back and I’m going to put some plans into action now.

I used this place for some fun work to take my mind of the bad things in there and fiddled around a lot. Broke things. Created helpers. I’ll drop the jekyll-feed plugin since it’s having the wrong opinions, but creating my own rssplugin is a lot of fun actually. I’ve put the site’s code out there as well.

I may have bought two iPods that are almost old enough to vote now.

I might have pulled out all the old laptops and there are now 3 macbooks laying on the table. including my beloved 11” macbook air (2011) and a black macbook from 2007. and the spare parts are cheap!

I like this new home. It’s so easy and clear how I can go on with everything. Plain text is simply the best.

Handing down cameras to get the latest is established, no? I might need to sell some lenses as well.

Let’s get this live and add a first note.

🥳 Happy new year!

First kid of three is in bed.

😷 Sitting in the pediatricians waiting room. Coughing all around and we are the only ones masked.

🤯 After three days of paralysis, I’m finally getting round to using my “free time” in isolation for nice things. For example, installing Proxmox on the workstation. And maybe solder that keyboard that’s been waiting for way to long now. Or continue the work on the new blog or finish setting up the Linux laptop with nixOS on it or rearrange to home office space or WAAAAAH.

😷 Guess what’s back one day before the next vaccination…

🥴 Ugh.

🍪 soul balm right now: the delicious smell of christmas biscuits in the oven

🛠️ It’s time to build the new blog.

🧪 Testing, testing, 1-2-3

💜 YO!

👋 And one last test from macOS. Posting to status.lol from Obsidian is something I wanted to do for a long time. Well done @May@social.lol!

🕞 time to pick up the small one

🚶 moving fediverse stuff back to social.lol again. I miss @phanpy that much.

⌨️ Just setting up my OpenBSD server.

🏡 Back home. Best place.

🏕️ Packing the 🚍

😊 So happy about my very first own profile pic, done by @andycarolan. Love the result, loved the process :prami_contented:

💊 Headache day. If that’s the price for that rainy weather, it’s ok.

🔥 Back in hot and dry Germany. Feels like the complete opposite to Ireland.

🇨🇮 On my way to Ireland!

🤪 FRIDAY! We almost made it. So close.

😫 not much has changed compared to yesterday.
except my body feels like I’m on the way to sickness as well.
so heavy, so tired.

😩 tired after a day which feels like I’ve got nothing done. I know it’s not true. Still.

🗒️ wrote the personal introduction for my new website, but since it’s just only a folder with some markdown in Obsidian I’ve added it to my profile page and as an introduction post on mastodon.

😫 ugh.

😎Enjoying a very laid back holiday with the kids

🤹‍♀️upgrading ugprading about a hundred servers right now. Actually I’m just watching my scripts doing their work 😎

🧟‍♂️ I think it’s ok to bring my internet writing zombie state back to live. It was refreshing to take a break and finally drop that urge and completionist nonsense.

😇 I need a place for my local, german things to write. So I reactivated my german blog again, welcome back https://www.hammelblog.de/

🚅 Traveling into a weekend vacation.

🖤 Rest in peace, my dear aunt.

☑️ doing our weekly status call. how meta.

🤯 migraine day. meh. well, at least i’m able to type in lower case again.

👋 I think I’m good to share more on the internets again after some sort of a break that I needed.

🎂 10!

😆 Having fun finger’ing around. The Unix finger command, mind you!

😌 </Isolation>

☹️ The separation of our family to keep the remaining two of us uninfected works as intended.

But it takes its toll.

🩱 I decided the small one and I need to go someplace else. Swimming pool it is.

Now drinking coffee. Feeling warm.

☑️ Finished reading the last 24h of social.lol local timeline and it’s still a nice place to be.

😷 Looks like we’ve reached acceptance and are just dealing with it now.

😑 Quite annoyed with the situation. But I guess that’s a better state than panic and anxiety hitting hard like it did before.

⏭️ and the next positive. Only two to go. Let’s see if separation helps for the last of us.

🍔 I’m craving for some lunch.

🐶 Out for a photo walk with the dog. It’s a grey day. Black/white preset applied.

😌 I lie on the sofa and enjoy the silence outside my head.

😣 Migraine on the free day. Yay.

🤪 Feeling better. Put posted on instagram again. Feeling weird now.

🤒 One of those nights. The smallest has fever and a really bad night so far. Good thing I’ve had enough sleep last night and during the day.

📝 Updating my /now page.

🍺 Feierabend!

🤔 Since I don’t feel 100% happy with my web stuff, I’m going to use the dog walk for some thinking about this.

🤷 just missed writing my weekly note. ah well. there’s a weekly status note then.

🟪 Yo!

😊 Riding the bike to kindergarten and back on the most scenic detour because the valley is flooded is THE BEST

7! 🎂

☕️ party preparations

🥶 No school today. It’s raining and freezing. Yay.

🤔 Thinking about how to mesh the blog, the mastodon, the status and basically all the things.

☕ ☕️☕️

☑ After some rough couple of weeks, I’ve decided to crawl out of my cave. I need to. Let’s go.

😵 Not sleeping, but playing around with a very focused app: status.log to update status.muhh.lol

☕️ good coffee, good morning.

🤕 Meh again.

🤢 meh.

🛋 Reading my backlog on micro.blog after a very long weekend where I’ve been mostly away from the internets. Besides my feedreader, it’s the only place where I enjoy being a completionist. I’m doing my best not doing that on other places. Sorry social.lol.

🤓 catching up on the weekend on micro.blog and social.lol

☎ reconfiguring another domain for some nice omg.lol thing.

📺 watching @adam fixing my issues live on twitch.tv/neatnik. Well, at least the ones with omg.lol.

🧺 laundry and the walking dead during lunch break.

⌨ Finally back into some chef cookbook development. Has been too long again.

😖 Trying not to complain too much about the post-vacc sore arm.

🧑‍💼 Doing that coworking on a livestream thingy

📺 Setting up owncast for my livestream. Fun!

✉ Writing a newsletter. This is more work than I expected. But such a rewarding thing since it’s a review of a couple of months full of work as well.

🥸 Pondering my avatar options.

🥱 Looking forward to the time when I’m not always feeling tired.

😠 Server down, Markus up. 🥱

😩 Again I’m extremely tired after tonights disruption(s). Let’s see what this day brings…

😌 Went for a short walk and had scones. Feels better already.

🧒 Elternabend im Hort.
