Rozhodl jsem se nasadit Let's Encrypt certifikát na Unifi Dream Router. Protože disponuju doménou a Active24 je jeden z providerů, který podporuje API přístup ke správě domény chtěl jsem toho využít. To co jsem potřeboval je ověření skrz DNS, DNS-01. Po chvíli pátrán...
The days when Koko was mentioning sous-vide in her videos are long gone. But the ability to prepare meat — and of course not only meat — using this method is a fantastic option. It could be a kilo chunk of meat, chicken breasts, thighs, or carrots… the possibilities are endless.
The...
I was a little alarmed... my bank is telling me there's been a data leak involving my payment card! A nightmare. Quick, open George and block the card — I wasn't home at the time, so I blocked it and planned to deal with it properly once I got back.
Once I got home I...
What were the highlights of this year?
Technology: Autofocus on the A7 IV — the eye detection in particular is breathtaking.
Event: Surgery — an experience I don't want to repeat
Software: LLMs have integrated themselves into our lives
Gear: The practical and spacious...
A friend asked me whether I'd photograph the interior of her office. Interior photography is always a challenge — you often have nowhere to step back to, walls everywhere. Lighting is also a big unknown. Since my wife was behind the interior design, I had a fairly quick brief. I al...
Like everyone, I use batteries (AA or AAA) quite often. My biggest consumption is AA — the thermal actuator heads devour them. There's a solution of course: Varta makes a lithium version. It's outrageously expensive and if you have multiple actuator heads... it adds up fast. This...
When I bought and built the Lego Tumbler (76240), I thought it was a shame there were no motors and it couldn't be remote-controlled. So I started searching… and found this Lego MOD. Sourcing the parts was a challenge. The biggest headache was the motors and springs (br...
A few days ago Proton announced the release of their own Authenticator. I was delighted, because Microsoft Authenticator is a headache in certain ways — mainly when it comes to backups and potential migrations. So I didn't waste any time: installed it, enabled s...
Because I commute to work by train (S6) I take advantage of the fact that it's part of the integrated transport system. All the stops I use are in zones 100+101. So a šalinkarta is enough for me. On the train, however, unlike with the city transport operator (DPMB), you can't v...
I've been with Nikon for about 20 years. I started with a D50 and the 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 kit lens plus a 50mm prime. Not long after came a Tamron 70-300 f/5.6-6.3. Then an upgrade to a D80. A new kit lens 18-135 f/3.5-5.6, then an 85 f/1.8 to go with the 50 f/1.8 I already had. And...
