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.
Kind: Notes
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.
Franz
Today I found out about Franz and I’m in love. I know it’s “just” wrapping some browser tabs but this is exactly what I needed so sort all my messengers:
SSD Scavenging
Found it. I was looking for this SSD for months. Scavenged it back today 😀

Bye Squeeze
Pulling the plug on old servers of mine always makes me sad.

Learning CAN
Making use of ICSim and cansniffer (and Kayak) to learn more about CAN. This is more fun than expected 🙂

Learning Car Hacking
I also learned a damn lot about ODBII, CAN communications, CAN bus transceivers and ECU files. And I found this book for my Read Later bin:
“Car Hacker’s Handbook: A Guide for the Penetration Tester”
ISBN-13: 978-1-59327-703-1
Portal
So.. computer games for small children.. that be Portal. Portal 2 to be specific. My kids started to demand me playing Portal 2 on the Steam Link in the living room. That game with the mean computer. Can’t argue with that ;-P
