Today we had a great barbecue at my brother’s new place.
Kind: Notes
short content: a post or status update with just plain content and typically without a title
Airfield
Had an awesome day at the airfield. Wife got the chance for a flight and today we had perfect weather. I stayed on the ground with one of the little ones. Flying is fascinating but not my cup of tea. The others had a great time between the clouds 😀
Online Enkeltrick
Local police “warns” people from callers claiming to be with Microsoft to “hack” into computers and blackmail their victims later to regain access.
What year is it again?
Good thing there are people like Lewis’s Tech keeping scammers occupied for fun and entertainment.
This is Ikarus. My first laptop featuring a Celeron with 1GHz and awesome 20GB of disk [having Lunar Linux installed]. It died airborne [cliché] when rotation forces took it out of my car during an accident. Tbf it is not dead. Just mostly. External power and display and it’s still good to go – ignore the cracks in it’s hull 😆
Coffee And Geigercounter
Had a relaxing 1st May with the family. Coffee, cake, beers and talks about a diy geigercounter. Sometimes I wonder how non nerd families manage.
Visiting The Archive
Had a surprisingly good time in the archive today. It opened just for a few hours. We were maybe 7 people and most were neighbours of us as well. When I found a bunch of ~20 year old photos we all put our heads together to identify the locations.
Summer Tires
Switched to summer tires today. A good opportunity to check on the brakes. This is what brake pads of a BEV look like after ~30.000 kilometers. Almost as new.
Altensteigerle
This is a picture of the H0 model railway reconstruction of the Altensteigerle 1891 – 1967 – the first narrow-gauge railway of the Royal Württemberg State Railways. It can be seen once a month in 72213 Altensteig / Germany
Watermill With Framesaw
This watermill in 72178 Waldachtal-Vesperweiler / Germany is one of the last water powered saw mills still in productive use (in the wintertime). It’s history goes back to 1435 while the current framesaw is from 1903.
Vehicle Spy Workshop
Participated at the workshop Vehicle Spy with Intrepid by the Automotive Security Research Group at Shackspace (Stuttgart) and really liked it (despite me looking asleep all the time due to critical caffeine levels).
TIL: Don’t attack the crypto. Attack the implementation.
