X-Ray for music
I have watched a few movies on Amazon Prime in the last couple of day and have used from time to time the very good X-Ray functionality. I got a problem that I often see actors in movies and series and get them confused with other actors.
Relocate to a new domain registrar
In the spring of this year I changed my domain registrar. Initially I followed the recommendation from friends and went to United Domains (UD or ud from here on) and bought myself kepler.international as well as kepler.one there. In the beginning I was quite pleased with the offer but there have been a few problems. To set the DKIM signing keys from Fastmail was not the easiest since UD does not allow the creation of domains with a leading underscore. The support there is quick and very friendly. After all I just had to write an email with the domain and the values and the record has been …
Bots do not like modern ssh configurations

But other things also have cipher suites and various algorithms that contribute to security and confi…

Especially for the examination phase at uni I noticed that music from videogames could help my concentration and I could learn better. With Spotify I did not need to listen to playlists on Youtube or create my own lists in WinAmp.
I feel offended
I regularly check to see if there are any errors on my website and try to fix them. This includes page access errors. If Google can not find certain pages anymore that can be quite deadly for all the SEO stuff. It is just the links to the CSS files that have fallen out of the cache most of the time and are being fetched again. This results in access errors, which are not too worrying.
