Hello, I'm Robert and write almost exclusively in English but may occasionally reply to others in German.

Besides my wife and daughters I also love my Rocket R58 portafilter machine which I mostly feed with Quijote Kaffee's fine roasts. From all sports I tried, mountain bike riding stayed the longest.

Professionally, I'm working as a CEO and jack-of-all-trades at #Flownative, which I co-founded and as a volunteer for the #NeosCMS Open Source project which I started years ago.

"Finanzminister Lindner kündigt Widerstand gegen EU-Verbrennerverbot an

Fynn Kliemann macht mit NFTs mehr als 200.000€ und ignoriert dabei seine eigenen Auktionsregeln.

"Weil Kliemann Höchstgebote annahm, die nach der zuvor angekündigten Frist eingegangen waren, steigerte er den Umsatz um rund 68.000 Euro."

"[…]schlug er Kliemann per E-Mail vor, dieser solle die durch die Fehler entstandenen Mehreinnahmen wieder abgeben, sie zum Beispiel an eine gemeinnützige Organisation spenden. Aber darauf antwortete der Unternehmer nicht mehr."

Varying execution time can leak secrets from cryptographic algorithms. "Constant Time Code" is one known mitigation. However, modern processors adjust CPU frequency depending on what they process, which can be measured even remotely. https://www.hertzbleed.com/ #hertzbleed

Google and World Resources Institute launched Dynamic World, a web app providing near real-time land cover data at a ten-meter resolution. Can be useful for scientific and political purposes and is interesting to explore. Doesn't quite work on mobile though.

For a few weeks I'm busy adjusting a big code base to #PHP 8.1 and a new major version of an important package. It feels good to freshen up old code (and use promoted properties, for example).

It takes all my mental strength to keep my fingers off the architecture or improve the behavior along the way. But I know it would lead only to big trouble: with all the #refactoring I did in the past, I learned to follow the rules – don't change internal structure and external behavior at the same time!

Thanks to the amazing work of Fabian and the team at Sandstorm, all videos from this year's #neoscon are now available as individual videos, collecting in a convenient playlist.

Enjoy the more than 1.700 minutes of video! And I'm sure, speakers would love to hear from you what you think about their talk or if it helped you in a particular project.

Here's the full playlist on Youtube:

Fun fact: I use the same email notification sound since around 2004. It's a sound which came with KDE's KMail. And even though I switched to Mac 15 years ago, I still carry that sound around with me.
