Every few years I try giving @ghost.org another chance as a feature-rich home for my blog… and, like clockwork, it greets me with a fresh slap in the face. Truly a tradition at this point.

As I've turned 40 today, I find myself thinking more about how I can help build a healthier, more public internet. In this article I argue that real freedom means owning your identity, data, and connections — not just spreading them across more servers.

Updated my home OPNSense router and its deep packet inspection settings which finally seem to be working just fine.

The EICAR test file was successfully blocked and the alerts show up on the OPNSense UI.

Performance is about NOT DOING unnecessary things and doing the necessary things only once. I'm building performance monitoring right into the development cycle, the CI provides super fast feedback by heavily relying on the above principles, parallelism, caching. Very happy about the results so far.

Rare’s future at Xbox looks bleak: canceled games, narrowed scope. Licensing IPs back to Nintendo fits culturally — but with the Switch 2 & a new DK on the way, Nintendo may not need legacy revivals. A full sale of Rare is quite unlikely; partial collab is the only realistic path.

Sorted out port shortage on the gigabit switch, found unused 2.5Gbps ports on the router today. Adjusted interfaces in my @opnsense.org router, bridged them together, added to LAN, now key devices enjoy faster network speed. Good start for #DIY #networking!

This is my current macOS desktop and it works like a charm. I’m able to keep everything to the bare minimum by automating everything using Shortcuts or Apple workflows. I can access apps and actions with @raycast.com, its extensions or quick links. It's like sitting in a cockpit from the future. ✨

A regular reminder that Black Friday could be used consciously by purchasing items that you actually need or contribute to your general wellbeing. I for example have bought vitamins for my family for the entire winter season.
