A bit of #MountainMonday ! I took this in January 2024.

I hiked that mountain and decided not just to hike to the summit but to spend some considerable time and try to capture some photos that express cold & #winter.

I layed down to the ground and waited […]

Transferred my #onenote notes to #joplin.
Another service I don't use any more. Joplin doesn't have all the features as oneNote - but it looks like it has everything I need.

Now it's time to test it in real life.

This #selfhosting can really become addictive...

I should use contact lenses during my winter activities.. Foggy Glases are just so annoying!

Been there today trying a trail that I hadn't gone for ages. A lot of people also utilised the great weather to do a first winter hike.

I'm just walking a bit after I was hiking a local mountain. And this is really a #silentsunday photo for me.

Winter has arrived 😊

16 miles today and the pictures don't do it justice. The colors were so intense I found myself taking pictures every 50 feet. The low sun angle really makes the colors pop!
It was my "normal" creeks/river/lake walk, but I added in some bushwhacking and rock […]

Over the last few years, I've been on a journey to explore some of Southern Africa's wildest places, from ancient Canyons to the Drakensberg. These expeditions explore inner and outer landscapes: they are about tracking my wild-self, storytelling around the campfire […]

Gerade dem #alpenverein auf instagram geschrieben, ob sie sich nicht vielleicht doch auch im fediverse zeigen wollen...

Der wöchentliche Bergbericht ist ja schon immer sehr schön - aber halt auf insta

Last week I was able to test #genai video creation - but it seems I'm always cornering around in edge cases 😒

I blogged about the fediverse. A short (hopefully non-technical) overview to send to my non-fedi friends and colleagues:

Yesterday I was surprised that my blog post about IP tracking vs "conspiracy" my-phone-is-spying gets low but constant visits. - I reviewed it, corrected a couple of spelling mistakes and added some details.

After all, I'm just happy that I wrote this blog post. I often simply use the blog to […]

Should I buy a refurbed HDD for an offline backup. With BTRFS snapshots. 🤔

Do you feel that you are too dependent on Big Tech and overwhelmed by the number of services you use?

Are you afraid of the amount of work it takes to get out? - I totally feel you!

But the best is to just start. Start with one service at a time.

Don't overthink it too much.
Don't stress […]

My contribution to #FootpathFriday !
This was a really nice walk. Just as I like it: small paths along a nice mountain.

But I also remember that it was the time I was suffering from something called "frozen shoulder". It was a bit of a challenge to take off […]

Recently I saw "The Witcher in Concert"- "Celebrating 10 Years of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" in Munich. I reaaaally loved it!

And one sentence from the game never gets old:

"Hatred And Prejudice Will Never Be Eradicated. And Witch Hunts Will Never Be About Witches. A Scapegoat, That's The Key" […]
