My pfSense removed valid connections obviosly. This is how I solved it. The thumbnail was created with Google AI (Imagen 3).

If you are like me and use many different passwords you may come to that point when you can’t think of a password for a specific service (or (zip)file). This is how I recover most of them.

There is an app for Linux, Windows and MacOS to connect your wavelog instance to your local computer.

I finally made the hop from Cloudlog to Wavelog and I don’t regret it so far.

Another big move for the weatherstation. The station also moved off the Raspberry Pi 4 and I’m using the SQLite database again (instead of a local or remote MySQL server). The new environment is a virtual machine running on my homeserver.

My homeserver serves my old video files via DLNA. I decided to dump all my DVDs to the video share.

I’ve been talking about smart TVs with other people recently and we all came to the same conclusion: smart TVs may spy on us (like our smartphones do). The thumbnail on the side shows the actual microphone that is soldered onto the main circuit board of my remote control; it is no longer than 4 mm.

I’m totally done with Netatmo at this point and I am more than happy to show you my new setup at my home. I’ll start with a WS69 (all-in-one) sensor and the Gateway GW1100. Combined with WeeWX we will publish our data to some online weather networks/services.

Another quick'n'dirty post about how I published my dotfiles.

I am subscribed to a few mailing lists and I stumbled across a big video file in one of them recently. Here is a small command-line command using ffmpeg that cut its filesize in half.
