Ok, I’ll simply start writing here in a normal “paragraph” as they called it now, and then add some other stuff. Like for instance an image:

Or “custom html”:

Here I’ll insert a link to Zuleikha’s page. It should open in a new tab or window…

Next will be a Flickr photo:

What else do we have? A “classic block”, whatever that might be…:

Aaahh, looks like an embedded mini version of the former editor which is now called “classic”…

Then comes a “heading”:

Ok. H4 here.

Then, a “gallery”…

• 

• 

• 

• 

Or a “list”:

• one
• two
• three
• many…

Finally, a quote:

Ok, enough for now. There are many more “blocks” which you could add, but let’s see how it all turns out in its default form…

Ciao for now…

I got a few emails lately which contained an unsecure password I once used somewhere – and that site was hacked, and millions of user accounts and passwords were compromised, such as mine. Sites such as TechCrunch reported about that breach.

The emails come from a fake well-known account at Yahoo; these all have more or less the same format.

The threat is the following: they claim I was using some delicate (meaning porn) sites, and while doing so, they – in possession of my password – could hack into *my* system and turn on the webcam, filming me while whatever I would have been doing while consuming that ‘delicate’ stuff.

Problem is, I don’t have a webcam…

Nice try, guys, but sorry – no bitcoins from me. Go f**k yourselves.

Preliminary results, Hessen and our direct neighbourhood in Mörfelden-Walldorf.

Just finished upgrading our server here @lonien.de to the current stable version of Debian, plus installing free certificates from Let’s Encrypt for most (Sub-) Domains we run here.

Which is cool, and opens up lots of new possibilities. As an example, I’m posting this from my phone right now, from which I also took a screenshot. Note the green lock symbol on its Chrome browser:

As always, thanks for reading.

What an interesting article, comparing several camera/lens combinations, a small compact, and a smartphone, all for under $1k, with the $5.5k combination of a Nikon D850 and a 105mm/1.4 lens for portraits and background blur. Recommended reading if you want to take photos of people.

Ged Brockie from Guitar Music Institute interviewed Richard Kaiser, founder of Wikiloops.com, and put that interview into a 1 hour podcast on their page, together with some info videos about Wikiloops.

Recommended for musicians at all levels.

Happy Easter to all who celebrate it, and happy 7th birthday (or anniversary) to Wikiloops!

And thanks for reading and/or listening, as always.

Presented by Philip Bloom:

And yes, we’ve donated a bit. What we could. And even if you can’t, please help spread the word. Thank you.

“I always wanted to write a song that’s 3/4 time waltz so this is what I got”

…wrote Jasmine Thompson when she was about Zuleikha’s current age (13). So what she and some others also wrote was this:

According to Jasmine’s own words, she was inspired by H. C. Andersen‘s “Under the willow tree” when she wrote this.

What an amazing young artist…
