I only ever clean the ventilation parts with a normal vaccuum to facilitate air flow. There are purpose-made ESD-safe vaccuums/blowers though, if you really want to invest in that... If you can, try to reduce dust exposure in the first

Yeah, the zero-sum game of personal time allocation is cruel, these days especially. It may help a bit documenting what you know, have seen or experienced about interests you're about to let go. That way it somewhat feels like it'

Good to see there's still some people vouching for old-school programming virtues. Among all the capital-driven centralization, scaling and complexification dominating the conversation I thought I was going crazy...

Put a personal VPS (no domain) online today. Took like 10 seconds for the first ssh login attempts to start. It's toxic out there. I put everything behind wireguard these days.

This has been discussed here several times already, but basically, the more capable hardware affords "sloppier" (or more abstracted) programming. This is why even simple applications now require inane amounts of CPU cycles and&#x2

I recently had the pleasure to work with ddrescue. Unfortunately the SSD disappeared on encountering read errors and could only be brought back by power cycling (at least as far as I found out in the time allotted) :/, so it went to my

Studying most things in most places is free of charge in Germany. Generally there'll be a mandatory fee that includes a public transport ticket and some administrative overhead (~300-400€/6 months).
