For years I have hosted all of my servers at uberspace, which are a fantastic company that makes hosting websites incredibly easy. At this point in time, I have 4 uberspaces running.

As you may or may not have noticed, this blog now sports a new look and also a new domain name! Under the hood, it also moved away from Uberspace and over to Linode. This change has been a long time coming, feresignum.com has been up and running as a staging server for almost 120 days now! Together with the blog I moved a bunch of other services that were running on my server as well as all of my private Github repos, which are now hosted on a private gitlab installation. This has overall decreased my server/services bills and also allows me to have much more freedom in terms of what I’m doing with my servers. Sometimes, super user rights are useful. Also, all domains are now served as HTTPS, which I’m really excited about.

Long time no blog post, so I figured, I might as well write a blog post about something super boring: Modding my 3D Printer!

For quite a while now I’ve been running OctoPrint on a Raspberry Pi as my print server, as it’s much more convenient than shoving G-Code onto the SD card and then printing from there. However, this has one downside: I had to have the Pi close by the printer since they communicate via USB with each other.

I talked about how I’m an evil person and part of the growing effort of destroying the web @hmans.io likes before (as if my recent Coffee machine post wasn’t terrible enough). I haven’t said what I was working on, or really, what the company I work for is working on, but now it’s released and I can finally talk about it: It being a social network. Or better put, yet another social network.

After writing about my thoughts on the CLion 1.0 release, I figured it’s only fair if I now also write about the new 1.1 EAP which Jetbrains released yesterday. I’ve only tested it for about an hour, but, I’m very very pleased with it! The parser

The parser got some major improvements! It’s still not a Clang but something home cooked, but boy did they put some serious effort into it. It’s still not quite there, for example, it still has issues deducing potential side effects in lambdas properly, like in the following snippet:

Guys, guys, guys… I have been working on a project for a couple of weekends now and to make a long story short it’s a watchface and watchapp generator for the Pebble Time for iOS. The basic idea is that it allows putting watchfaces/watchapps together easily and then deploying them on the Pebble that is attached to the iOS device.

Here is a video of the whole thing in action, note that the iPad simulator uses US keyboard layout and I only have my German one, so, yeah, you can watch me stumble over the keyboard quite a bit at times:
