I'm a little #proud of myself in several ways…
Yesterday after dinner (veggie burger, the LIDL paddies are better than expected) I went out for a quick #hike before sunset. I call it quick hike because I can do a kilometer in under 10 minutes and do it over 10 kilometers (pride 1).

I only had the small backpack with water, jacket and headlamp. Open, long hair and no hair tie. I put on skintight #leggings, a tight shirt and my cross-runners. I hardly ever walk around like that in my village. The #gossip here is faster than the Internet. In my youth (80s, 90s) I was ashamed of not looking masculine: thin arms and legs, wide hips and small, feminine breasts. I've always had low testosterone. Today I want it and I have fears. (pride 2)

On the way out of the village, I greeted neighbors and acquaintances and chatted briefly with strangers (Pride 3).

I went up the hill through the forest to the big stones. It got #dark and I enjoyed the sunset. Then I hiked back down through the really dark forest. I live in the area where Little Red Riding Hood was invented. I didn't see the big bad wolf. Unfortunately, I didn't meet Little Red Riding Hood either. (a bit proud 4 - forest is safer than any civilization).

When I arrived down in the village, the soccer game was just over and a lot of men were still standing around having a beer. I had to pass, proudly (5) pushed out my chest, waved and passed. From a distance they certainly saw a woman. Nearby, they may have been disappointed that I'm not as feminine as I'd like to be. I then continued on my way home.
I love my silhouette in the shadow of the street lamps.

Getting a #coffee this #morning with a #tired head:

Drea: *switch on*
Coffeemachine: Please run the lime program. It will take 10 minutes.
D: Not yet please *searches for the cancel button with almost closed eyes*
C: You have to run the filter cleaning program. It will take 5 minutes.
D: I want coffee! *presses cancel with force*
C: It's time to change the water filter.
D: Damn no! *cancel. Searches the black coffee menu, grinds coffee, press, adjust portafilter, finally start making coffee*
C: Finished. Here is your coffee. Please refill water.
D: I'M NOT YOUR #SLAVE!

But hey, I'm almost awake before the first sip.
Would you like a coffee too? The machine is on now. ☕️

My travel beauty two years ago before some modifications on its first trip and I’m still loving it.

My frontend: Gooood Morning World. Breath in and shout out. Let's start this party.

My backend/admin-panel: Bad night, few hours, thoughts about my inner life keeps me awake, tired.
Today I have to solve a tech problem generically and when not possible do the stuff manually, deadline possible? When not, no money. I hate update sessions and resulting incompatibilities, resolving deprecations and so on. I love making new stuff but not keeping eight years old code alive, which was not touched for at least five years. But what the customer wants she gets.

But first of all: Save me the few quite minutes till family awakes and get me some coffee...
Breath in, breath out. Hello everyone. Let us all try the best und just get a little bit closer to our goals than yesterday.

I work on a Mac Mini M1 with two identical 32 inch monitors. And I hate the monitor settings. The one on the left has four and the one on the right has five resolutions. 3840x2160px is too high for my eyes. The next smaller one would be great: 3008x1692px. However, this is not available for the other monitor. The next smallest is 2560x1440px: everything is so huge that it's a total waste of space at 32 inches.

I know it's a luxury problem. But it always gets on my nerves when I want to switch vice versa. I sit in front of it almost all day.

One monitor is attached directly to the M1, the other via an USB-C to HDMI adapter. Unfortunately, there is no point in connecting both via an adapter.

So, let's start work...

This #summer #vacation on island #Fehmarn I went with our #camping neighbours by #ferry and bike to #Denmark one day. The ferry only costs 21€ incl. return. We visited the big construction site where they are building the tunnel. After this we drove a few kilometers along the coast. Very relaxed driving. At one point I saw this #accommodation. The plan for next year is set: a week in Denmark by #bike. You only have to look at the #huts to see if they are free and then book/let them know on the spot you stay a night.

One funny thing on the trip was: My passengers secretly tried to find something. But I noticed it right away: they are also #geocachers. What a coincidence. I didn't think about #caching in Denmark. Now I have found my northernmost #cache.

Edit: Added image description.

Ahoi liebes Fediverse. Kurze Vorstellung, wobei ich garnicht weiß, was ich schreiben soll.
Nundenn, wahrscheinlich bin ich unnormal normal. Ich bin da seit den 70er, wurde in den 80er mit Punk, #Metal, Dorfleben etc. sozialisiert, arbeite seit 20 Jahren als #Webdev. Ende der 90er startete bei mir das Internet - mit ISDN, ICQ und kleineren LAN-Parties. Später setzte ich mal einen UnrealIRCd auf - waren das noch aufregende Zeiten 😀 Damals bewunderte ich die Leute, die quasi in Echtzeit mit Computern reden können. Ich fürchte, mittlerweile gehöre ich auch dazu.

Im echten Leben bin ich gerne draußen: #Fahrrad fahren + #wandern, #Mehrtagestouren, Schrebergarten, #Wohnwagen, #bonfire, #outdoor #cooking und so Kram. Gerne auch Konzerte und Festivals - seit Corona leider nicht mehr.

Von Facebook und WhatsApp bin ich schon lange weg. Nun dann auch von Instagram und Twitter. Hin wieder zu mehr #privacy, #opensource, #equality. Das sind dann auch die Sachen, die ich hier versuche zu finden.
