Multiple tools exist for managing and reading scientific publications with open source and standards in mind; only Zotero, JabRef and others remain.
Manage and read everywhere related to PC/Tablet/Phone, but for an easy solution with Zotero, you need a paid subscription if you exceed 300MB of online storage, which I do.
Are you one of those who ended up with this nice banner every time you use a Microsoft Office product on an iOS/iPad device?
How to set up a simple static markdown-based blog for a personal journey diary and more?
Simple, use an offline CMS such as Hugo or Ghost and host it via GitLab or GitHub. Let’s see how to do that.
Password managers like Keepass(I pefer KeepassXC)/Lastpass offer a nice choice to manage all your “accounts” with different user/password strings and with very complex (and long) passwords. If someone gets access on your keepass-database and the password for it – bad luck. Authentication-Hardware like YubiKeys provide more security on your keepass-database and work like a charme on Linux.
After years of waiting and many delays, i finally got my UHK (Ultimate Hacking Keyboard) – a crowd funding projekt.
My first impression: it’s awesome. Just split it and place it on the desk like you want it.

Abseits der Argumente des “Vendor-Locks”, Sicherheitsbedenken (Einsatz von US closed source Software im Militär- und Polizeibereich) etc., sollte man nicht die Möglichkeit des Aufbaus einer europäischen Softwareindustrie vernachlässigen und damit von zukunftssicheren Arbeitsplätzen – anstatt das Steuergeld quasi übern großen Teich zu überweisen, eben in den Aufbau einer europ. Softwareindustrie investieren – auf Basis offener Software und offener Standards. Liebe Politik und öffentliche Verwaltung: Statt auf Lobbying reinzufallen, besser Zukunftschancen sehen ! 🙂

I didn’t use Netflix for some month on my Nexus 7 tablet with Cyanogenmod 13 (Android 6). A few days ago I wanted to use the netflix app – and what a surprise: films only play with audio, no video.

It’s has been a long time since I had time for some useful and useless stuff. So we (isticktoit) found some useless stuff on Heise open: A Linux Retro-Gaming distribution and thought about bringing some old stuff up to ‘waste’ some hours.
In this case I tried the new release of the Lakka distribution, which is mostly for Retro/Emulator-Gaming. It contains a lot of emulators from Atari up to PlayStation and Nintendo.
This week Facebook started to block the usage of Facebook messages/chats on mobile devices just with the browser – Facebook forces their “products” (=customers) to use their messenger-App (with all the device-rights this app wants…).
A little detour allows to further use FB messages/chat with your mobile browser 🙂
No Facebook messages/chats with mobile browser ? A detour … 🙂 weiterlesen
