crosspoint-reader

After having had a bunch of formatting issues with the XTEINK X4 for EPUB files, I decided to give the crosspoint-reader a try. My god I should have done that right from the get-go. The OS feels a lot faster and it has no problems when displaying EPUB files. Yes the official OS is mainly intended to be used with a specific file format, but since I am lazy the crosspoint-reader with its better EPUB display capability is the simpler solution. The installation was straightforward and the user guide was very instructive as well. For customization, information and other helpful links there is also the community website at readme.club.

Watching Seasonal Anime

I feel like I have to change the way I watch anime and consume media in general. I normally always watch quite a lot of airing anime and then sort them out by dropping or pausing them if I am not interested or don’t like the show. It would probably be best if I just watch one show at a time that is already fully released. That way I won’t feel stressed because I couldn’t watch an episode the day it was released and maybe my mind would be less cluttered. That would also give me the option to binge watch a show or watch multiple episodes in one sitting resulting in a better more immersed viewing experience.

Apple Macbook Setup

This is a living document that might evolve over time. Setup I generally try to keep the setup as simple and minimal as possible. I also use most of the Apple apps so that I do not need to install third party alternatives. Of course there are some apps that I just need because there is no Apple counterpart. There is also a great guide to privacy and security on macOS by Privacy Guides. ...

Rant on Smart Home Lights

You might have read my last post about the Home Assistant I have running on my server and the setup I created. Honestly I have nothing to complain about and it works flawlessly. BUT I had one simple thing that changed my mind about lights with smart integration - the usability. It’s great if you have a (Shelly) button/switch to control the lights and not need an app or a website for a simple action such as turning on you lights. I also configured it to change brightness with increments and stuff like that depending on what button I pressed and how often. The main problem was the ability to move the button around and therefore it felt like it was always on the opposite side of the room. Turning the lights off while in bed was nice though. ...

Level Devil

Level Devil is a short platformer where each level tries to trick you into failing. I believe nobody can complete it without dying on the first try.
