I actually am 'begeistert' about @tailscale.com. Why did I hold back implementing this solution? It just creates so much freedom in your infrastructure!

Even my 'berlin #cyberpunk brandenburger tor' image got a really decent outcome!

Fascinating stuff generating images in chatGPT:

starting with just an image from a thread (I was so annoyed by all the stuff I had to do since I'm unemployed, to get my benefits), so decided to go with that

Had to go a day without coffee to do some bloodwork tomorrow morning, holy sh*t what a horrible experience. I felt weak, tired, did an insanely strong power nap and can't wait to get to bed later.

My friends planning to travel to the US, I urge you to take precautions. Please.

Especially if you value freedom of opinion.
Le Monde reporting that a French scientist traveling to Houston to attend a conference was denied entry to US after a search of his phone & computer revealed messages critical of Trump's science cuts, "which [says CPB] conveyed hatred of Trump & could be qualified as terrorism".

The first three episodes of Andor (Season 1, 2022) are available on YouTube.

If you never watched this great show, it's time.

Slept about 4,5 hours last night, got a projected car bill of about 700 euros and still hardly any responses on my job applications. On the bright side, the sun shines and I went for a run again (for the first time in many moons!)

Have a good start of your week!

I still remember apple introducing their own chips. It blows my mind how I can run a few VM's, and do some moderate loads on this system and still it hardly takes up 3 (!) Watt of power!

And then suddenly, you’re at home with no one to support, mentor, or chat with. Leadership of others becomes leadership of just me. (And I can be too hard on myself!)

Google Maps gaat de Golf van Mexico de Golf van Amerika noemen. Dat kun je Google aanrekenen, maar het bedrijf volgt gewoon zijn standaard procedures voor waar het namen op baseert. Dit plots niet doen, zou willekeur zijn. Het probleem zit hem bij Trump, niet Google techcrunch.com/2025/01/27/g...

I remember (finally) admitting I was not OK. That feeling was so strong in this scene - loved it!
This scene from #Shrinking absolutely shattered me. “I’m not ok Paul”.

I still can’t believe how compelling a show that has only decent people that love each other can be.

Absolutely loved #shrinking on AppleTV+. @brettgoldstein01.bsky.social made such a beautiful show and really nailed Louis’ role in season 2. Can’t wait for a new one!

Ernest Hemingway once said,
“In our darkest moments, we don’t need advice.”
What we truly need is the power of human connection: a quiet presence, a gentle touch, or the smallest gesture that reminds us we’re not alone.

The transition of working in a leadership role (remote) and being in the same place but without a job or people to talk to is a rough one.
