Itās probably raining soon, but thatās why I went to the park to catch some of the remaining sun light and enjoy the warm weather (14°C at the end of February). š„ļø Going for a walk is nice too. š¶š»āāļø

February was rather quiet in contrast to January. I had the practical phase and was working in the office accordingly. The main task was to find a possible topic for the bachelor thesis. I also found something, but now I have to look for a professor to supervise the topic and hear what he thinks of the idea.
Mattias Geniar found a way to not have to display a cookie warning on his website and itās surprisingly simple:
Could you share more information or code about how you transform your knowledge base notes into Hugo pages? I tried creating a wiki or knowledge base on my website too, but somehow I still miss a good workflow to make more use of it. And do you create all notes directly in English or do you translate them later?
I just migrated my main server (a VPS at Hetzner) from RancherOS to Alpine. While I considered Alpine already as a Docker host when I setup RancherOS, Alpine wasnāt Docker-host-ready yet. But time passed and now itās even simpler to setup a Alpine Docker host than it is to install and maintain a RancherOS server. I really love Alpine for itās simplicity and lightweight size and use it as a base image whenever I need to create a Dockerfile. Letās see if Iāll get any unpleasant surprises or if everything works as expected. And sorry for any downtime of my blog or website.
By chance in a Hacker News thread about āMSPaint in JavaScriptā I discovered the tool Photopea. Photopea seems to be a free JavaScript-based Photoshop alternative that runs in any browser. What surprises me the most: Photopea is developed by a single person. I donāt use tools like Photoshop or Gimp very often, but I will try Photopea the next time I need to edit photos and images.
I sometimes publish links to Medium articles. Often the articles are behind the Medium paywall. This gets the author a few bucks per month, paid by āMedium membersā. Iām still a Medium member until March (I paid for one whole year), but I wonāt extend my membership after that, mainly because I donāt get enough value out of the subscription (many articles are clickbait or do not interest me). But in itself I think itās good that authors are paid directly by readersā money and not by tracking readers.
Will Oremus has written a long article on OneZero (Medium paywall) that discusses whether Apple is an illegal monopoly or not.
I left Twitter one month ago and didnāt miss it a single time. Reading stories about āBrand Blockersā (Medium paywall) just gives me the feeling that this was the right decision.
JƩrƓme Petazzoni published a great article on the Ardan labs blog about reducing the size of Docker images. He compares different ways to package a binary into an image by using different base images and either dynamic or static linking. The conclusion is that although you can get really tiny images with SCRATCH, it is probably not worth it because it is more difficult to debug.
