Yes, it's time to get back to basics again. But why now? There are several reasons for this, which I may discuss in more detail in future posts. For now, let me recap on two things.</p> <p>Firstly, the recent rise of the <a href="https://di.day/en">"Digital Independence Day"</a> events in Germany, has inspired me to become even more digitally independent. Since joining the <a href="https://c3l.lu">local Chaos Computer Club</a> over 15 years ago, I have been on a mission to leave big tech behind. This has led me to self-host most of my digital tools and start blogging again.</p> <p>The main reason, though, is that the web is fundamentally about sharing information, not just consuming it. At a time when content generated by LLMs seems to dominate the web, it's more important than ever to have content written by humans. This is my attempt to contribute to this. I may blog about my views on AI in the future.</p> <p>What can you find here? As I write on the <a href="/about/">"About" page</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>This blog is my place to capture my thoughts before they disappear. It'll most likely include little things from my day-to-day life, things I've been reading about and recurring ideas, as well as the occasional rabbit hole I've fallen down. There won't be a theme or a schedule, but it will be a space where I can collect all the things that I find interesting and share them with you.</p> </blockquote> <p>Thank you for reading my blog, and I hope to see you again soon!
