Reading Time: < 1 minuteYesterday I found myself accessing Audiobookshelf on one of my Pi devices in the morning and it timed out in the morning. As I am travelling this situation is not ideal as I had to find a way to recover access. I checked the tailscale device list and could see that…

The Hidden Wash Basin
Reading Time: < 1 minuteWhen roads are built they often require a lot of soil to flatten the land so that the road may be built. In the process objects are hidden. In one case old clothes washing basins were hidden beneath a road. It’s funny to see a road, a hole, and within the…

Nextcloud Via Infomaniak Hosting
Reading Time: 2 minutesFor a few days I was playing with Day One, the note taking app, after years without touching it and I was playing with the idea of paying for the app. The cost is 38 CHF per year. It used to be cheaper. I think it was around 23-28 CHF rather than…

To Drive or to Fly
Reading Time: 2 minutesIn a week or less I will go on a long drive from Switzerland to Spain, stopping at least once, to refuel. I love the drive. I love that it gives me time to think, and to listen to audio books for hours in a row, rather than for a few minutes…

Step Tracking with the Casio ABL-100WE
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Casio ABL-100WE range of watches look similar to the A-168 range of Casio watches with one key difference.
