"Doctor Who and Steven Moffats fascinations"

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 19:08:09 +0100

Recently I have started re-watching new who. It has been a while since I watched any of the episodes (Except for Blink which I every now and then watch as a standalone). The latest episodes chronologically I have watched were during Capaldi's era. I got a bit excited about the new doctor, and the fact that Davis is returning to the show (Also seeing something about a trans character helped). Just the other day, I finished the conclusion to Tennant's run.

"Me on switching to lightmode"

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 15:18:55 +0200

Hey, I did a stoop and switch to lightmode a few days ago. SO far, it feels comfy in someways. I chose catppuccin latte as the theme. But what I don't fully get is how application such as discord are so very bad in lightmode. Like, I am using a theme, catppuccin discord, to ensure that it looks like the rest of my laptop but it looks very off when it comes to notifications. Seeing that a discord has a new message, is almost hidden. This is also true for default theme, so it left me wondering if people think about light themes? I sure haven't, since I primarily have used darkmode everywhere I can for the last years. Spotify has not implemented this addition for ~10 years now, as seen in this request. It has 6k votes and is one of the ones with the most votes on the entire website.

"My thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom"

Fri, 01 Sep 2023 16:39:47 +0200

Hello again, been a while hasn't it? You know, existing can sometimes be just enough. During the summer, I started a playthrough of the new Zelda game and it leaves me with opinions. I thought I would write about it to explain my opinions on the game and fully understand what I even think. So let's get into it, shall we?

Me and other Zelda games

When I was a kid, I was introduced to Zelda by my uncles, playing Wind Waker, Link's awakening and later Twilight Princess. It got me hooked on the games, the exploring was a great and going through dungeons. I would go on to play most of the main line Zeldas and they offer different experiences but all offered something that I enjoyed. The scope of Ocarina of time, the creepy nature of Majora's Mask, the plot of Skyward sword, it was all so much fun.

"Legal name changed"

Tue, 18 Apr 2023 19:49:41 +0200

I GOT MY LEGAL NAME CHANGED!!! HYPE!!!!

It is now Nor Pingu Führ, and it feels good. The Pingu is the nickname I have used for multiple years now, and it is deeply related to me. So it feels great to have as a middle name.

"Writing"

Sat, 08 Apr 2023 14:27:28 +0200

Writing can be hard sometimes. So just now, I am meant to be working on writing an essay and a report. The essay is more in the social sort of way, due to it being meant for analysis in a course on ethics and the report is for my bachelor thesis. Both of them are quite different from how I like to write about thing. When I start writing about things, it is more in the form of realizing my thoughts or progressing through a topic where I have some information, while gathering more.

Setting up servers

So recently, I have been setting up servers for my committee at uni and my own home server since I am transferring from a vps. Doing this, I have tried out using Nomad and Consul instead of ssh'ing to the server and running docker-compose up or even launching the services manually. This approach has seeing how the docker logs look easier and I know that reverse proxy will be solved by itself.
