On Tuesday morning I woke up to a notification from Filip Horký about an attack on our soldiers... a few moments later the message was denied — the Prime Minister's account had been hacked. Not just his — the Spolu coalition account as well. How the vxunderground...
I was reading an article about ad blockers and the author mentioned running AdGuard on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2. That caught my attention — why have an RPi 4B when I could just use a Pi Zero? And it could even run on PoE! Since the Dream Router supports PoE on two ports, the choice was ob...
I worked at ParaCENTRE FENIX — I'd like to think I have some idea of the challenges a person with limited mobility faces. A pram took that experience to a whole new level. You might think: so what, the pavement has a dropped kerb and everything's fine. Think again. A dropped kerb isn't...
A few days ago news circulated about the British government's request for access to iCloud. The aim is/was to gain access to everything stored in iCloud. This isn't the first attempt — Apple previously refused. What's happening now we don't know... but a new...

Technology: The M4 chip — it's a rocket! Intel can go home.
Event: The birth of my son is an experience for a lifetime.

My iPhone lost OS update support a while back... then in November I got a notification from 1Password saying that version 8.12 would be the last update for my version of iOS — decision made. Time for a new phone. I'll try the migration.

As we were getting close to being discharged from the maternity hospital, it was time to sort out a breathing monitor for the newborn. Borrowing one from the hospital wasn't an option. After a quick look at the market I found that Jablotron offers the same pad one knows from hospit...
