hey

how're you doing?

1️⃣ Visiting Berlin, the city keeps stretching my horizons, stayed at a friend’s flat in Neukölln, shared it with a young woman who said:

That was new for me. Three weeks in Charlottenburg, then some days in Neukölln—junkies on the U8, €3 kebab vs. CTO dinner at Reichstagsufer. Christopher Street Day and Rave the Planet thrown in too. berlin doesn’t do half measures.

2️⃣ CTO Dinner: Founder of OneCode, Thomas Marbella; his company does app dev for Spotify, Bumble and more (we ran an Podcast session):

Before that he invited us for a dinner: developers, engineers, hackers, chiefs, non-chiefs, sometimes multiple roles in one person-and everybody exchanging like:

Right at this table, i got some interesting input from bliq's Thorgen Hauschild: 

the company just pivoted towards autonomous driving, testing in Estonia and soon on Berlin streets. i'm curious to see what's up next.

3️⃣ Google Indexes ChatGPT Chats "If you’ve ever clicked “Share” on a ChatGPT conversation, you might have unknowingly made it searchable on Google." read here

4️⃣ Found some cool Berlin culture/events here

5️⃣ First official video from my Hexnode partnership is now in production (coming soon)

6️⃣ Cybersecurity note: 90+ state/local governments targeted via MS SharePoint vulnerability

7️⃣ Been looking for a managed private cloud plus own Cryptomator encryption. Any reason not to go for pCloud’s 1TB lifetime offer at €279? well, i did it already (non-affiliate link) → https://landing.pcloud.com/de/SpecialDeal?channelid=8771&lab...

8️⃣🇵🇱 Now in Poland: Farmers, conservative anti-immigration mindset, but visible EU development everywhere: more wealth, better roads, roaming, you name it.

Also, visiting my grandparents. Grandma struggles with dementia; Grandpa’s turning 85 this month but still a total workaholic, ku*wa, active in body and mind. 

It's nice to have a big garden with fresh veg and fruits, chickens and endless eggs.

made organic tomato sauce and pasta plus a doppio espresso from a nice moka.

9️⃣ the 40 countries i've visited and whats next, finally set up an interactive? map (coming next month)
