Christopher Sikkenga (savethis.space)oil pastel sketch of me crying in gray with red eyes and blue tears The expected results are always easier to deal with than the unexpected. Consciously or not, I have had a tendency to throw myself under the bus. I know how to deal with failure and defeat. Success, in my mind, is just postponing th...

fluffy (beesbuzz.biz)The internet always highlights the first place winners, the billionaires, the award-winning artists, the best-selling authors, the largest philanthropists, the extraordinary. Their stories are ones of success, of inspiration. They show us what is possible, and push us to achieve more. But I donât ...
I am rubbish at video games. I donât have the twitch-reaction speed for shooters, I can never remember what all the buttons do, and I frequently get lost in open-world games. Basically, Iâm the opposite of my wife, who will rattle through Dragon-Ages, Mass Effects, Spiders-Men and the like. Fact...
Jan-Lukas Else (jlelse.blog)I took inspiration from Ru and finally added a âfavorite blogsâ section to my blogroll. I also sorted the blogs into English and German, so that someone without knowledge of German can ignore the German blogs.
Love the Feed appendix. I wonder if I can get my cms into doing this automatically too đ
Jan-Lukas Else (jlelse.blog)This is probably one of the coolest articles I have read in a long time. âHunting the Nearly-Invisible Personal Websiteâ is absolutely worth a read! I found this article using the âforum animalâ âHacker Newsâ and itâs funny to see my blogroll linked in the article. The personal website...
Shawshank (voidifremoved.net)Well, itâs Monday. Iâm up, showered, and have a cup of coffee in front of me. I got the local CTV news station on. Itâs a crisp 6c outside this morning. I have the ingredients for a snack for Neal on the counter, Iâll try to elbow my way into the kitchen to make that, while my mom is outside...
What if I told you that Germans struggle with grammar too? đ
Liam Dawe (gamingonlinux.com)THQ Nordic and Mimimi Games kept to their word, with Desperados III now being officially released for Linux PC and macOS along with the latest update. "Desperados III is a story-driven, hardcore tactical stealth game, set in a ruthless Wild West scenario. Play smart if you want to succeed. A good pl...
Oh yes, Desperados III on Linux PC đ So want!
Wladimir Palant (Almost Secure)A discussion on Mastodon convinced me to take a look at the Webmention standard, and I even implemented a receiver for this blog.
Awesome, @WPalant@infosec.exchange is giving Webmentions a try and that’s totally not my fault đ
Hope this works out for you too đ It’s intriguing how your focus is on the security side of things. Most people I know use it simply for easier interactions and backfeeding. Let me know if you’re interested in a tour/demo đ
Paul W. Frields (fedoramagazine.org)The PulseEffects app is a full-featured set of modular effects you can use to adjust sound devices.
TIL: I can enhance sound recording on Linux PC with PulseEffects. Fedora Magazine has a whole article on this including tips on various effects:

Visited the Museum Of Everyday Life in Castle Waldenbuch 71111 / Germany. This town is known for it’s chocolate factory of Ritter Sport but it does indeed have a very nice medieaval town core – timber-framed buildings included.
The museum itself is simply great. The place is huge and there is so much to see. It was also a great place for the kids who in opposition to usual museum trips did not just run from room to room. The exhibits really catched their attention and we spent a surprisingly long time inside.
My personal highlight was the opportunity to see the Family Swevia and Reisecen live showcasing their deeds. Two great living history groups that really do put a lot of effort and research in their presentations.
