All kinds of weird storage-related lockups, to the point that I was considering buying a new laptop. Rock-solid again after a Docker update.

Why doesn't this even surprise me 😒

Evening run

I absolutely love traveling, but there's nothing like the old saying: Home is where the Wi-Fi is good.

So much great open-source software I use daily (GNOME, Neovim, Firefox, ...), but today's shout-out goes to Home Assistant.

Being able to dynamically switch the heating/cooling of the house and the charging of the car in response to whatever the sun generates in solar power just feels like living in the future.

Many moons ago this required an expert wiring your whole house and a lot of expensive electronics. Now it's something you download and can tweak yourself.

Early start to the day, found this gem while running through the forests of Zürich.

First time for everything, last week it was being in a podcast: garage61.net/whatsnew/202301231436

Lots of talk about Garage 61 and simracing in general.

On the road again for the first expo of the year, Sim Formula Europe this time.

Cool article and extra cool to see one of my libraries in that list.

Change of pace from development today: setting up a Patreon.

Not a big believer in the donation model for funding software, but we'll see how it goes.

Idea was always to keep Garage 61 fully free until it's sufficiently feature-rich, but a) it costs a ton and b) people have been asking for this.

Not taking anything away, it's a voluntary "support the project" thing.
