Why I don't like WLAN in my LAN network


Did I mention that I don't like #WLAN? Here I have an #IBM #Thinkpad #R51 which has a lot disconnects from WLAN. The #Android of my wife @Rechelle Diana Haeder is working but as you may know, it is not #GNU.

But I prefer GNU software as it is peer-reviewed and back-doors don't have a long lifetime in it. So I can easier trust NICs (cable-bound) than those WLAN stuff (the WLAN network module requires a proprietary binary blob to be loaded).

And WLAN suffers from interference of different types, mostly by neighboring networks. Now I replace it with an "old-fashioned" twisted-ait CAT5e cable ...

Oh, no. #Hannika is here ... :-)

GTA04A5 is being delivered to me ... :-D


I can count myself lucky that I'm one of the 8 lucky receivers of a brand-new #GTA04A5 device!

You can find their main page here:
Wonder why it is so (relative) expensive compared to other main-stream phones? Because you directly invest into the very production of the device (hardware only). So you become an investor here (something like that I think) and not a regular consumer/customer.

MySQL killed by OOM


Today the database server behind this and many other services died (or was killed) due to low-memory problems. When I SSH-ed in, it shows me this memory usage:
 total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7939312 3764024 4175288 0 203592 1434224
-/+ buffers/cache: 2126208 5813104
Swap: 12485748 11742532 743216

Looks like a zombie were around? All other processes are consuming lesser memory. Now I run a swapoff -av && swapon -av to cleanup swap space.

Sleeping daughter on my arm


My 9 months old daughter has fallen asleep on my arm while I was showing #Pingus to her. Maybe the music pingus-8.it was so nice and smooth that she felt easily asleep? Wow, really adorable and nice feeling ... :-) #daddy

Btw, here is the music:
cloud.mxchange.org/index.php/s…

You need, e.g. #modplug, #opencubicplayer or any other #MOD player to play them.

Friendica + WebDAV/$API = Nextcloud-Ready?


What do you think?, especially those @Friendica Developers ? Is it possible to rewrite #Friendica to have some "wrapper class" for storing pictures/movies locally (default) or remotely on a #WebDAV share like with Nextcloud?

Or does #Nextcloud have an other API for file storage/retrieval than WebDAV? Would be cool to not have pictures stored on so many places. Sure you need then a "WebDAV browser" where you can easily select your files you want to link here (including music files and videos, of course).

Rewrites of framework almost done


Today I have almost finished rewriting my #object-oriented #PHP #framework (not to be confused with yet-another PHP web framework, no) towards #namespace. It took me 77 commits (as I commit not in big chunks anymore) to add namespaces and "import" classes/interfaces + expanding configuration entries with proper namespaces.

My next work will be rewrites in reducing include files in folder "inc", they come from old times where I was "encapsulating" stuff in include files, now I do it with classes and methods.

Still ongoing (or temporary postponed is the rewrite towards a "wrapper" (not following naming convention here!) class around sockets and the bootstrap.

BTW: You can find it here:

Authentication with Friendica Jabber account?


I have tried to connect to my XMPP account I have with this #Friendica instance, it is the same as my web-finger, as I understand it. But what is the current password so I can connect? It is not the one I used to login.

NetBeans 8.2 adds Oracle copyright header to ant-deploy.xml


I have updated my NetBeans IDE to 8.2. I have found out that ant-deploy.xml has been changed. When I checked it (with diff view) a copyright header by Oracle has been added.

I don't like this much what companys writing free software slams their (huge!) copyright notices somewhere "hidden" and with the next version update in.

I have now manually prevent them from entering my projects. But for the future, I hope Oracle is not repeating this and removes such stuff.
