About

This is the weblog of Wolfgang Lonien. Welcome.

I’m responsible for all content here, but not for any other content to which links from here could lead you.

I’m also the server and domain admin for the lonien.de domain, but again, I’m not responsible for content provided by any others (like family members or anyone else who would get a web or mail presence here on lonien.de). Their content is theirs; my content is mine, simple as that.

A word about the GDPR:

We don’t collect, share, or sell anything you might type in here. We do however use cookies, because this is the way our (and millions of other) WordPress blog software works. We also use content from other sites, like Flickr, Wikiloops, or Google (fonts only), to name a few, so to prevent them “tracking” you (which we don’t and never will), we recommend that you secure your browsers accordingly.

If you left any private information like your name here in comments, and want that information to be removed, drop us an email, and we will respond to that, and act according to the GDPR.

Not really sure yet about encryption. Nothing here is considered as important enough as to hide, or scramble it, and the additional overhead for encryption, like power consumption alone, could easily run small countries. So I’m not sure if that’s worth it. But we might go and add encryption and certificates, so that you can use https instead of the normal http protocol.

Like I wrote above, opinions are mine – sue me for them.

Ok, enough of that boring “legal” stuff.

Beside my family, I have some other hobbies, like photography, music, my motorcycle, or things like free and open source software. So I might blog about these topics, and/or add own pages and/or blogs for any of these. Time will tell.

Questions? Send me an email to myfirstname at mylastname dot mycountrycode (hint: look at the url of this web page for help). I will also send you my address in case you need that.

Thanks for visiting.

How long we retain your data

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

  1. Hallo Wolfgang ,leider bist du nicht mehr in Facebook, hoffe es geht dir gut ? Bin gerade dabei mich neu zu sortieren und wollte fragen ob du die Fotos auf deiner Homepage in flickr evtl , löschen kannst ? War bei einen Bewerbungsgespräch und die haben ein wenig gegooglte und die Fotos gesehen.. Obwohl das ganz normale Fotos sind fanden sie es nicht so toll …da ich mich beruflich verändern möchte wollte ich nicht das ein paar Fotos mir im weg stehen , wenn du sie dennoch drinne lassen möchtest ist das auch kein Problem :). Ganz liebe Grüße sara
