Finally online again

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

After being cut off from DSL for about 30 hours, I finally have landline Internet again. On the one hand, it makes me angry that the provider didn’t solve this faster (the whole street with hundreds of residents was offline), but on the other hand, it also showed me my dependence on the Internet. I could not really do anything, not even watch TV, because that is also only possible via the Internet. After my vacation, I will take care of creating redundancy via LTE to be safe from such failures…

I can now mark text with ==text== in GoBlog. This is probably even better in some cases than using bold text. Isn’t it? 🤔

English is my second language. My mother language is German, in school I had Latin for a while (but was rather bad at it) and in university I had one semester of Spanish.

I think I’m just going to ignore most tech news for the next few days because it’s going to be all about Apple again.

A reader pointed out to me today that the styling of buttons on my sites was broken in the Firefox ESR version 78. I took this notice as a reason to search for the root cause, because I had already noticed the error in the Tor browser, but I always thought it was due to some security rules.

Doug Belshaw has a new side project: extinction.fyi. A site dedicated to climate change. For example, you learn that if you buy a Tesla with bitcoin, you cancel out the lifetime CO2 savings four times. Or that a battery-electric car needs only one-eightieth of the energy of a biofuel-powered combustion car.
