Good riddance 2025!

Ok, good riddance, 2025! This year was one of the worst so far .. aside of fascist / racist mass hallucinations and insane financial marketing BS like GenAI.

It's been like my worst year. First half was just about staying somehow afloat with the living situation, next on, full on troubles with work, getting the flat prepared for a new flat mate .. future perspective looking not so rosy with

Portable Workstation: S400 v2 “FU Edition” – Image Dump

A quick image dump for my finished portable workstation in the S400 v2 (10.8L) case.

Also see the build thread over at https://smallformfactor.net/forum/threads/portable-workstation.19776/

The funny thing in #SmallFormFactor #sffpc builds is: If you're saying you've "upgraded", you actually have downgraded - but in size only.

For example: Currently I am preparing to add an AIO to 10L case, the S400. But I'm already preparing for the next upgrade, ie. the S300 - it only got 8L.

CSS Tricks is dead

It's just as I've feared (and probably many others): After the sell-out of CSS Tricks in 2022, its new masters let it tatter on for about a year, and then stopped publishing any new content around mid April of 2023.

So now its only reason for existence is content, content, content = SEO paradise, and the almanac (which is also "content content content").

i18n changes to the site

So I finally decided to disable Bogo, which has been a shoddy solution from the very start. But now its a shoddy solution only supporting the other shoddy, WP-6-only solution, ie. Gutenborg. Tried a few workarounds, but in the end, its wasted time and efforts to get this shoddy piece really working.

Hence I'm probablly going the dirty'n'hard way, as in: i

Reorientierung 2022

Nach einigen, eher spontanen Bewerbungen und daran anschließend überwältigendem Feedback, orientiere ich mich jetzt, Mitte 2022, etwas um.

Da ist zum einen meine fachliche Aus
