Cheap Surveillance Cameras & NVR – Hacking to work

Recently I needed some video surveillance camera setup for our small office. There will be some de-and then construction work in our area and I just want to make sure that this does not attract some morons… anyway. So I looked around and since this will definitely not be a permanent thing (I despise video surveillance!) I did not want… Read more »

Anonymity On The Internet – The Matrix Case

      Kommentare deaktiviert für Anonymity On The Internet – The Matrix Case

We want to believe in the good in all people. We want to believe that everyone will be kind to each other, accepting and loving. But we also know that things go wrong, that people, organizations and governments do bad things from time to time and that it is vital that these bad things can be reported anonymously – to… Read more »

Trans* Day of Visibility – 31. March 2022

Today is the Trans* Day of Visibility – so I am doing the obvious, being visible, as trans* person. I choose to do so since I can, I have the privilege of being safe in so many ways. And I am sincerely grateful for that! But this sadly is not so much the case for all trans* people. Quite the… Read more »

Beschwerde gegen Zeitschrift “Emma”

Das die Zeitschrift “Emma“, unter der Führung von Alice Schwarzer, schon länger eher fragwürdige Ansichten zum Thema Trans* vertritt, ist nichts Neues. Aktuell zeigt sie aber ihre hässliche und menschenverachtende Fratze auf besonders widerliche Art und Weise. In einem Artikel hetzt die “Emma” auf besonders abscheuliche Weise gegen die Bundestagsabgeordnete Frau Tassa Ganserer. Ich habe mich heute deshalb mit einer… Read more »

Recently I purchased a pair of JBL’s Live Pro+ TWS wireless headsets. To be honest, I did not really need it but I needed to get rid of some flying miles at Lufthansa’s Miles&More shop before these expire. Since everything else in their shop was not really appealing to me I finally settled on this pair. I do not want… Read more »

Sitting in a project kick off meeting, for the client there are four gentlemen sitting across the table from me and a colleague. Throughout the meeting for all technical things my male colleague gets addressed, for organizational things I also get looked at. At another client, after weeks of meetings and discussions, all of a sudden one of the client’s… Read more »

      Kommentare deaktiviert für Diktatur der Unvernunft, es reicht! Impfung, jetzt!

Die Tage habe ich im Spiegel folgenden Anrisstext gesehen: In Österreich haben zahlreiche Menschen gegen die neuen Coronamaßnahmen der Regierung protestiert. Impfgegner hatten zuvor gewarnt, der Staat würde aus Hubschraubern und Kanaldeckeln Geheimimpfungen verabreichen. Es reicht. Wirklich. Ich habe langsam null Verständnis oder Toleranz mehr für Menschen, die solchen ausgemachten Mist verbreiten! Leider fällt das offenbar auch auf seltsam fruchtbaren… Read more »

By some lucky circumstances I received a Chuwi Minibook 8 from Chuwi’s mothership company Zwide. Wondering what this is? Well, it looks like this: Which one? Well, kind of all four because it has this “yoga” hinge so that you can bend the display over by 360 degrees. But the most striking thing about the Minibook 8 is its size… Read more »
