I have no idea what I'm doing - want to join?
25.6.2026
I just cancelled a trip to Germany because of the heat. This is as far as I remember the first time that I change plans because it's too hot - too much snow, too much rain, too stormy, sure. But heat, I haven't had that before and I would like to have that documented somewhere.

#Frage
Was ist euer ältester Gebrauchsgegenstand, den ihr immer noch verwendet und der noch funktioniert?
Ich meine nicht: Antiquitäten, die dekorativ an der Wand hängen oder irgendwo stehen.
Ich meine auch nicht: alte Möbel, Bücher, Schallplatten.

Ich mache mal den Anfang: Mein ältester Gebrauchsgegenstand, den ich noch immer regelmäßig verwende, ist ein großes Handtuch aus Frottee, das 20 Jahre alt ist. Es hat weder Flecken noch Löcher.

Solid definition of what #LinkedIn is.

So I just got a phishing message on Whatsapp that claimed to be coming from an accommodation I have booked through Booking.com in Germany in 2 weeks. They wanted me to "reconfirm my booking" because Booking.com "flagged my booking as suspicious".
They had my name, phone number, booking dates and name of the accomodation.

Seems like Booking.com had a data leak - how come that didn't make the news?

Once again, my professional recommendation in response to the latest Linux kernel vulnerability in the news is that you should gather up all your electronic devices, cast them into the sea, and retreat to the woods.

Each night, gather your children and tell them tales of the Before Times when the hubris of humanity grew so large that we made idols of sand and spoke to them as equals. Remind them that the sand, of course, did not speak or think, but we imagined it could, and let it guide us to folly.

Should a stranger ever come to your village with a glowing rectangle, encourage the youth to beat them with sticks.

Found it

Ich erinnere mich daran auf dem #39c3 mindestens ein ausrangiertes und gehacktes Bahnhofsdisplay der Deutschen Bahn gesehen zu haben. Wo bekommt man denn sowas?

Eventuell haben wir da eine Idee für ein absurd-satirisches Improtheater Format....

We're currently in the 1 week every year where my biorhythm makes me wake up all energetic and ready to take on the day at 7am, for a perfect pre-workday morning.
Unfortunately this weekend the clocks move forward so as of next week I'll be my constantly late overtired self again...

Update on both of these topics:
- Bought and moved in to a wonderful house fulfilling all my requirements.
- Significantly lowered dating requirements and still disappointed and single.

But at least I'm single in an awesome house. (Sent wearing a silk kimono lying on an antique chaiselongue)

Throwback to 2018, when some dude thought he could score with this message on a dating platform.
