Tailscale

I want to share about an awesome piece of technology that I started using recently: Tailscale. It's a sort of VPN, meaning it sets up a private network for you, but only between your devices, without a central server. It does so without you having to open any

Multiple cursors

Multiple cursors are a feature that has been around for several years. I have heard of it first from SublimeText fans, but I always thought I don't need it. At the time, I was a huge Vim fan and I thought I could get away with crafting fancy

Backing up 4: The Raspberry Pi

More than a year ago I described how I used Syncthing to backup folders from my NAS to an external harddrive attached to my parents PC. This was supposed to be my offline backup. Unfortunately, it didn't prove to be a very reliable solution. The PC ran Windows,

Boardgames Party: Azul

Last weekend I played a fun game called Azul, which has won many awards, among which the famed Spiel des Jahres in 2018. The name comes from "azulejos", Portuguese tiles made by the Moors. A portugese king fell in love with them and tasks the players with making

Getting rid of vmmem

A while ago I noticed in Task Manager that there is a process called Vmmem running and it's using about 5-15% CPU constantly. A quick duckduckgoing revealed that it's a virtual process that represents the total system usage by VMs. Alright, so it's not

Note taking with Obsidian

After starting to use spaced repetition more actively and being more consistent with my journaling, now I've tackled improving my note taking skills. Over the last couple of months, I've read about various note-taking methods, different approaches and diverse goals for them and they helped me
