A “Hello World” in Kubernetes should be very similar to one in Docker. Oh no, wait, actually, it should not.

Using containers in my eyes reaches its full potential only when combined with an orchestrator – the usual choice should be Kubernetes. But if you build your own Dockerfiles you want to have a development environment where you can test the images on that orchestrator. This environment should be set up easily and responding fast.

This ought to be some kind of tutorial on how to write your own syntax highlighting rules for vim and how to activate them. Actually, the sites I found on the web, were either too superficial or much too complicated – like the vim documentation itself. I used them all to learn the art of […]

I was, for a long time, dreaming of a personalized map of something. Not necessarily a city map, also hiking maps were fine. At home online maps were alwas fine. Zooming in, changing map center and similar stuff went fast, I got all the information I needed. But, eventually, I desired a hard copy of […]

Last friday, I received a long expected package. The unpacking revealed this: [Show as slideshow] If you want to know more about the contents, keep reading.

Yesterday, I published an article about majordomo and my conclusion of nut using it, since the version my webhoster provides does not support archives and digest functionality.

Since I prefer having full control over such things rathern than delegating them somewhere, my first step was looking into my own webhosting package. It includes the the possibility to set up majordomo-mailinglists – I don’t know the exact […]

Wifi problems with Ideapad S10-3t

I just encountered severe problems with the wireless card on my Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t. While my netbook connected to the access point I could not use the connection in the common sense, so not even a ping within my network arrived. While playing around a bit, trying to understand which kernel modules are installed and […]

Today I try out OpenSlides (Link). It is an open-source agenda-organizing-displaying-voting-whatever tool which might come in handy from time to time. As usual, for all the information about OpenSlides go to their page, here is the usual mnemonic which can help you in some way. So you wanna know what I actually did?

Never change a running system…

… but if it’s not running you should change as soon as possible! I am just reinstallung my beloved Kubuntu on my desktop PC. I’m kind of sorry for the nice Chakra linux which has to go, but productive work was not possible anymore. From week to week more and more programs ceased to work […]
