Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I 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.

It's that time of the year again... Every few months I re-write my complete #emacs config and fall into a gigantic rabbit hole of #elisp

It does not always have to be too fancy. Sometimes it is enough to pimp up an instant soup with some backed tofu and sesame seeds. #food #vegan

#AntennasPod generates a year in review completely offline on your phone. This is a really funny surprise, I enjoyed the #echo a lot :)

Image description: a few slides later, the screen now says: "Thank you, that you have been with us this year again. You downloaded your first episode in November 2021. It is an honor for us to be there for you since then".

#Architects released another great song. Besides hard breakdowns and great shouts, there are longer parts of ✨singing✨, which is not so common for this band 😅 I really love their new style, particularly within this song. Looking forward so much to the concert in January 🤘 #music #metal #metalcore

@toddsundsted this is a notification test

I know, the album has been released well over a year ago already, but I found #OceansAteAlaska's #Disparity just today while browsing newer music releases of bands I bought other albums a while back. Completely hooked on the album's intro "Paradigm" 🤘

And hey look, it's just 11€ on #bandcamp 😉

@toddsundsted i really like the new "mentions" feature in Ktistec 2.0.0.9. Well rounded release again. Thank you very much :)

I really wish there was an e-mail client that was remotely as powerful, customizable and easy to use as #astroidmail (repo). I tried #aerc and other #notmuch clients too, but none I tried so far matched astroid. Unfortunately, it hasn't received meanigfullmaintainance for a while (although since last summer, there are indeed a bunch of smaller commits again).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

#HelixEditor & #Tmux with only two lines of config makes a better code editor for #rstats than any other editor or #R IDE I tried before. Helix replaced neovim for me completely

#LowTechMagazine is always a nice read and pokes me about a few interesting thoughts, e.g. in "Bedazzled by Energy Efficiency" not only about #EnergyEfficiency, but also about work, time and any other type of efficiencies... #blog
