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

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.

Predicting what is to be expected in about four years in the USA : there is no way in Hell where Trump will allow any form of return to the way it use to be before he took hold of the country. He will let other people die to make sure his regime will stay on for as long as at least he lives.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Wanted to share that we're so proud of our six year old son; after taking skating lessons himself, he taught me and my wife how to stop on skates today. He was so proud about that he could teach us something good. Enjoyed also playing table tennis with him in the park, even-though it got windy, we had fun and didn't give up trying to have a decent game. And at the guided tour at the old hot-metal plant in Duisburg yesterday, he asked the best questions and could be the guide's assistant - holding the flashlight.
