Also transfering interesting radio recordings I found on the used MiniDiscs to FLAC.

Also the short documentary ‘John Was Trying to Contact Aliens’ was really heartfelt and great. Didn’t know the story of John Shepherd yet. Discovered some great music thanks to this short film. Inkl. Harmonia

Enjoying the show Resident Alien with Alan Tudyk.

Recording audio to MiniDiscs like it’s 2001.

Trying out CloudFlare “workers” / “pages” … Seems to be ok - getting a litle confused due to the powerful features in the console but isn’t that the challenge for all cloud services these days.

Working on a project that does Augmented Reality and computer vision object detection and QR code and image recognition inside a Web application. Pretty neat what can be done today with a few thousand lines of JavaScript.

Testing the limits of our new 5G internet connection at home with pushing 1.5GB docker images into the cloud a bunch of times day…

It’s really cool how my local public library’s membership includes digital access to thousands of magazines and newspapers.

Reading “Man’s search for meaning” by Viktor E. Frankl

@Prologic@twtxt.net Threema states the findings of that security research are all plugged. Still reading on it. Truth is that my family is difficult to get away from WhatsApp. And yes, I plan to buy them a license key.

@Prologic@twtxt.net Looking at Threema because it is European with servers in Switzerland and it has GDPR conformity, among some other reasons.

Enjoyed watching the movie Mighty Ducks (1992) on our family movie night.

I would like to drop Onedrive for Proton Drive and WhatsApp for Threema - I just need to convince my whole family to follow me with that.

I fell asleep again during snoozing, and started dreaming intensely. My own mind woke me up in time by setting everything I loved on fire within my dream. That jolted me awake alright.

Got my teeth cleaned professionally today and I am still feeling it. Recommendation is that I use an electric toothbrush… Health over sustainability I suppose.

Keep breathing and stay cool.

There are European alternatives for many well known digital and online services: https://european-alternatives.eu

Simplifying my online presence further by removing my Known site. Goodbye social.johanbove.info - it was sometimes a little fun.

@aelaraji@aelaraji.com Reading “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak

Cancelled Mastodon because the time spent on it could have been used for reading books instead and the level of interaction is not enough to keep me interested.

@prologic@twtxt.net Since I live in Germany, I do believe the media here is generally reputable. It really depends where you live of course. Source I look at are Reuters, NPR, The Guardian, Die Zeit, NY Times, CNN, Tagesschau, Spiegel Online, RP Online (for local news), … I would never just trust what I see in my social media feeds.

Shocked about the fires around LA right now. Following CNN mostly. It’s devastating.

There is a reason why being a journalist is still a profession.

Your favourite social media platform should not be where you get your facts from. You get jokes and share with your friends, but facts they ain’t. Get your world news from actual news sources instead.

In a rush in getting all my private data off from US - based company servers - the way it is looking, it might be that it would be good for us Rest Of The Worlders, to bring in our sheep and keep them close by.

Happy New Year to the readers of my little Twtxt feed! Wishing you and are your family all the best.

My 400th Twtxt Post will be about you: wishing you, reader of my Twtxt feed, all the best for the coming year and most of all love, health, and that your projects and work may contribute to the greater good of all mankind. I will be taking a social-media break for a couple of weeks to enjoy this special time with my family. I hope you will be able to do this with your family and friends too.

Aus Liebe fürs Leben

If there hadn’t been a better time than now to leave the hatred filled cesspool network of right-wing craziness, aka X - then I wouldn’t know when would be.

Enjoyed the eight christmas party at work today with some colleagues who I have known and worked with for more than ten years now. That is a nice feeling.

Imagine if all computer UIs would act like the UI from my NAS system… I feel I need to be waiting for output from the machine like it’s 1973.

The web server in Calibre is pretty cool. Love how the UI was designed and made. Feels intuitive, yet powerful. Now i do need to organise the book collection a bit better.

Did I write here already that the reason why I love Twtxt so much is that it works without having to compile, install anything extra. Just the bin applications that come with 95% of all operating systems and you’re good to read and participate, giving you have a domain name somewhere to host the twtxt.txt file.

We had a great weekend overall. N. loves ice-skating and we had a nice time with friends today playing a round of bowling and visiting the Dussy christmas market.

Organised my decades old ebook collection and cleaned up all the duplicates. The Czkawka application helped a lot with getting that done. Also - finally - using Calibre as our home digital library.

Got tickets for the Germany - USA 🏒 ice Hockey game in Düsseldorf on May 4th 2025

Cleaned up my npm package for twthash; made it CommonJS compatible, added more documentation and even a test. Current version is 1.2.2

Always a great feeling when you can solve npm install problems by simply copying over the whole node_modules folder from your own (linux) machine. One of the benefits of developing on a Linux machine I suppose.

Added TwtHash hashes to every message on my personal Twtxt HTML renderer. Code is not yet ready for prime-time. Need to work out some kinks still.

You can select some text from a web page and right/command click and select print… and select To PDF to quickly save snippets for save-keeping or further reading.

If I use Fedora on my PC, Vivaldi as my browser, Signal as my main messenger program, then which OS should my phone run on?

Getting my knowledge refreshed on web accessibility through a course on deque university.

I have been on Twtxt for five years straight now. Hurray me.

My 7-year old invented the word guakilijion which is a 1 with a bazillion zeroes following after it. He wants to be a word inventor.

Was on the receiving end of multiple robocalls originating from the UK so now I blocked the whole of the UK from being able to call me on my phone.

@sorenpeter@darch.dk Really cool that you did the presentation about Twtxt! Thanks for doing this.
