Wenn Hyperscaler zum Problem werden.
Für einen Anlass des Digital Cluster Uri durfte ich eine kurze Präsentation zum Digitale Souverenität halten. Die Präsentation fokussiert sich auf die sog. Hyperscaler und zeigt auf warum diese ein Problem sind.
The concept of abstraction has been applied to software engineering. But it never made sense. Software is flexible. Software can be changed even after it has been put into production.
It is well known that GitHub dependabot alerts and PRs are less than helpful. For hubbers the dependabot is very similar to what clippy was to the office users. It tries to help, but is very distracting for solving the actual problem.
Disabling dependabot alerts for one repo is simple. Got to this page https://github.com/$GITHUB_USERNAME/$REPO/settings/security_analysis and click disable. But doing this for a 100 or 1000 repos is not feasible. We need a script to automate this process. Let me show you how.
Since the enshittification of GitHub I decided to become a Berger instead of Hubber. Which I means that I wanted to move all my repos from github.com to codeberg.org.
Running a migration script is easy. But of course there are many details to consider once the repos have been moved. In this post I’ll brief you on my experience and give you details on these challenges:
The goal of Passkeys is to replace passwords.
The idea is that instead of remembering a password and entering it to access your account, you own a device that generates a password for you.
Remembering is replaced with Owning.
In this post, I’ll give an example of such a device and how you can create and store a Passkey securely.
I would describe myself as an AI critic. AI as a sales hype has not met any of my expectations. The current state of AI is very disappointing. If you feel the same way and cannot really point out why, this post might be of help.
My first and hopefully one of many short stories about humans, purpose and what if.

In my last post, I explained how to map a keyboard key in Linux. In this post, I want to provide ideas on “How to survive the American techno-imperialism”.
I am using a “Keychron K3 Pro” keyboard. Right of the space key there is a “Super” key to run the launcher (similar to windows key). Therefore the “Alt Right” key is missing and this makes creating umlauts more difficult. I am using the “Enlgish (int, with AltGr dead keys)” keyboard layout and pressing Alt Right+Shift Right+" gives me the
I used VSCodium and Codeium to develop Python code. VSCode is my editor of choice and Codeium is a well integrated AI-tool that helps writing code. While it solved a lot of problems for me, especially writing boilerplate code, I became more and more frustrated using this setup.
No longer I wanted to understand the actual problem or piece of code, but just to prompt out a solution. Often I was eagerly waiting for the auto-complete feature to fix my code. I copied pieces of code to LLM chats in the browser and then updated the code in the editor. This workflow didn’t feel right. This isn’t coding.
