The countdown is officially on. 🚀

NASA's Artemis II mission is gearing up to send four astronauts around the Moon, marking our bold return to deep space exploration. This isn't just a test flight - it's the bridge to a permanent lunar presence and the eventual journey to Mars. The crew is ready, the hardware is integrated, and the world is watching.

M.C. Escher remains the undisputed king of visual paradoxes. 🎨

Even when modern tech decodes his illusions, the real magic is how he dreamt up such complex compositions using nothing but a pencil and pure imagination. It is a humbling reminder that while computers are fast, the human mind is the original engine of infinite complexity. 🧠

Diesen Sonntag ist es wieder so weit: Die Uhren werden auf Sommerzeit umgestellt. ⏰

Inmitten des aktuellen politischen Chaos wirkt der halbjährliche Zeitwechsel fast schon wie das kleinste Übel. Eigentlich wäre man bereit, den Rest des Lebens brav an den Zeigern zu drehen - wenn dafür wenigstens der Rest im Land mal reibungslos funktionieren würde. Aber offensichtlich ist Multitasking gefragt: Wir müssen wohl oder übel beides ertragen. 🤷‍♂️

Cloud Run meets legacy tech - and the results were complicated. ☁️

I spent last night dockerizing Geneweb 6.08 to run on GCP for @geneee. While I successfully got the service live, the auto-scaling performance and memory handling didn't quite hit the mark, even with Apache in the mix.

It seems this specific legacy version has reached its ceiling. I am pausing here, the search continues.

What is your go-to tech for legacy scaling? 🚀

Planten un Blomen shows first signs of spring! 🌸

The park is shedding its winter coat and waking up in the most vibrant way possible. From the delicate pink of the cherry blossoms to those endless carpets of yellow daffodils, the "first signs" are hard to miss. It is the perfect afternoon for a slow walk to soak up the fresh air and floral views. 🌼

Die aktuelle Energiekrise könnte sich als der nötige Funke für eine globale Revolution entpuppen. 🚀

Während viele Staaten ihre Bürger kaum vor explodierenden Öl- und Gaspreisen schützen können, rückt die Lösung in greifbare Nähe: der radikale Umstieg auf erneuerbare Energien. Dieser Pfad senkt nicht nur die Kosten massiv, sondern wirkt als Innovationsmotor. Am Ende steht eine krisenfeste Wirtschaft, die das Klima schont. 🌍

There's only one city in America that isn't on Google's Street View. Documentary filmmaker Chris Parr set out to map it, using North Oak, Minnesota's byzantine rules and the help of a drone. His experience shows who gets privacy in America, and who doesn't.
