Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I am an environmentalist and care about social inclusion & privacy. This is my personal Fediverse server, powered by ktistec. I modified its appearance with my own adjustments.

I typically remove shared posts after ca. 3–6 months. I do keep most of my own posts (for now).

I post about a variety of topics, both in German and English, such as:

I also developed a few tiny & simple self-hostable tools to ease my life (and that of others), such as:

You can find out more about myself on my website or in my introduction post.

Ist Deutscher Mieterbund e.V. oder Mieterschutzbund e.V. sinnvoller?

Comitis Capital hat den Kauf von Threema vereinbart – final abgeschlossen ist das laut Mitteilung noch nicht (Closing im Jan. 2026 geplant).
Und ja: Threema bleibt weiterhin in der Schweiz (Sitz), aber „Schweizer Souveränität“ ist am Ende auch eine Frage von Eigentümerstruktur, Governance und Transparenz.

- Profitable or foreseeable path to profitability

"The power of the Gestapo was used to focus upon political opponents, ideological dissenters, career criminals, the Sinti and Roma population, handicapped persons, homosexuals, and, above all, the Jews.

Those arrested by the Gestapo were often held without judicial process, and political prisoners throughout Germany—and from 1941, throughout the occupied territories under the Night and Fog Decree—simply disappeared while in Gestapo custody.

Contrary to popular perception, the Gestapo was actually a relatively small organization with limited surveillance capability; still it proved extremely effective due to the willingness of ordinary Germans to report on fellow citizens."

sure: the main reason is decades of being forced into austerity and making profits by the CxU and SPD instead of major government investments into our infrastructure

I think during the past year, Kill The Newsletter and Morss became one of my favorite service that I use daily but really would not like to selfhost. They are both great, though if you are a fan of #RSS

The Helix editor using the light-background Alabaster theme viewing a sample Rust file.
The Helix editor using the dark-background Alabaster theme viewing a sample Rust file.

Published my port of the Alabaster theme family for Helix.

Alabaster is a minimal syntax highlighting approach by Nikita Prokopov (tonsky) - only 4 semantic colors: strings, constants, comments, and definitions. Everything else stays plain text because code structure is already clear from formatting.

I've ported all 6 variants (light/dark × standard/BG/mono) from the original Sublime theme (staying as close as possible to the original). Also submitted a PR to ship these with Helix upstream!

Original theme: github.com/tonsky/sublime-sche
Read tonsky's essay: tonsky.me/blog/syntax-highligh
My port: github.com/wolf/alabaster-for-

I tried to duplicate the original exactly, however Helix has multiple selections so I made the colors distinct between "selection" and "primary-selection".

If you ever think technology evolves too fast, remember that in 2026 UTF-8 is still not fully implemented.

Gibts eigentlich nen Spielfilm darüber, wie so in ca 20 bis 30 Jahren die Welt erwartbar aussehen wird, wenn wir nicht schleunigst und deutlich beim Klima umlenken? So auf wissenschaftlichen Vorhersagen basiert und gut geschrieben mit spannenden Figuren, deren Leben vom Klimawandel auf unterschiedlichste Art verändert wird?

Katastrophenfilme sind doch beliebt. Aber halt nur die unrealistischen. Könnte doch was ändern, wenn man mal was realistisches sehen würde, was in naher Zukunft spielt.

Falls es das nicht gibt: Mag das mal jemand schreiben?
