I run Postfix, Dovecot, Spamassassin and Amavis/ClamAV. Works like a charm. One day I ran in some problem with backscatter causing my mail server to be listed. It's good to setup your server to be less prone to this, I wrote a blo

This morning I enjoyed my bike ride on a nearly empty bicycle lane, picture perfect rays of sunlight illuminated the dew above the fields around me. Where were all the other cyclists? I suspect it has something to do with popular weather ap

Humbled and uttering to find the right words, I happily accepted the invitation to attend an exhibition of art involving the Snake game I created (Snake 97). It strikes me what a cultural impact a simple game like Snake has: one can only wo

I think choosing between a mechanical watch and a smartwatch is like choosing between a painting and television. Is it weird to wear both? People don't carry their paintings along, right? Am I lost, is this stupid? Anybody else doing t

Size was an important factor, together with my desire to be able to read documents, articles and papers in portrait mode. Preferably without feeling a keyboard when holding the device. But you're right that using a Thinkpad Yoga is pro

Few years ago my brother threw a beer on my iPhone in an Amsterdam bar. The poor thing didn't like the Dutch brew as much as I do: it died. While waiting for a new phone to arrive, I used an old one that couldn't do anything but t

Earlier this year I tried to create my own tablet operating system by installing Debian GNU/Linux on a Microsoft Surface Go tablet. I learned a great deal about what I like about tablets. But I still preferred my iPad Pro, mainly becau
