Sauna in Austria

01.03.2026

I wanted a list of locations with saunas that I can visit in my free time, on vacation, etc. Since I couldn’t find one, I started creating one myself. It will change over time.

To make things easier I try to sort the locations a bit using these abbreviations:

  • LT = leisure time
  • HD = holiday
  • ? = unsorted
  1. Vienna
  2. Lower Austria
  3. Upper Austria
  4. Salzburg
  5. Vorarlberg
  6. Burgenland
  7. Styria
  8. Carinthia
  9. Tyrol

USB Stick Tests

02.05.2025

Over time I gathered a bunch of USB sticks I wanted to verify if they are still good and usable. For such a task I found the tools f3probe and fio. So, I installed both on a Linux based PC (I used a Gentoo based one, but WSL based should also do).

Create GIF from video using ffmpeg

After developing code for a new approach for handling parameters in FreeCAD I wanted to present it to other FreeCAD users to get some feedback. Of course, the code is still a prototype, but it is working and shows the intended workflow, so I wanted to know if other people also think something like this is useful.

Setup Raspberry Pi to serve a Laravel based website

06.02.2025

The official website of Laravel has already a documentation on howto install it on a Linux OS, but it requires to trust the installer script. This would have been run directly on the local machine without prior checking the contents and what is really done. Of course I manually checked the install script and did not like what I found. The installed elements would not be tracked by the package manager, it would install another certificate authority list for the local installation. Things I consider non-maintainable or unsafe. So I wanted to go another (more clean?) way on a Raspberry Pi.

Using GNU Screen upon SSH login

06.02.2025

Whenever I log into a remote Linux based machine via SSH, I first start a GNU screen session. Any when I forget, I often regret it when I close the session window, as this also terminates the processes I usually want to continue in the background.
