DHL kennt keine Grenzen. German Parcel Services in a nutshell.

Paket steht in der Haustür, die nicht mehr zugeht. Jeder kann ins Haus.

Meanwhile in Germany: Deutsche Bahn (Railway Company) says: It's too hot! Don't use our services! We don't trust our ACs either! OR as we say in Germany: an unforeseeable natural disaster.

Oops, what did I start again 😂 JPMS is always a great topic to discus on #maven #slack

Das muss man sich mal geben. An allen Ecken und Enden wird privatisiert, inkl. Infrastruktur. Privatisierung heißt oft auch Profitmaximierung, denn Redundanz kostet. Welch Chuzpe, dass ausgerechnet die Frau des ehemaligen Finanzministers (FDP) der Stadt Berlin die Schuld gibt. 🙄

I guessed so 😉 "busy" sounds a bit negative to me, but maybe it's because of those memes..? 😅

I love this fact! 😃 Btw: this is what we use in IT (and officially in Europe, but no one actually uses it): 2025-09-16 xkcd.com/1179/

I love Nonograms! Much better than most other puzzles. If sudoku is boring, try this.

Yeah. I understand that they don't give out food that makes your illness worse. But how is this supposed to make it better? Shouldn't that be the idea? 🤔

Two dry slices of bread, a slice of cheese on a hospital table. A cup of fruit tea.

After 19 years (that's half of my life!) I helped out on a marching performance as a Bariton Horn Player. Last Sunday, 34°C, but it was so fun! How did I not do this for such a long time???

If you know SBOMs, I hope you attended @bdemers.io's talk why they are not enough! This slide is only part of the "why". 😉 #sbom #jcon #jcon2025

The look on the face of @josepaumard.bsky.social when he sees #null in a #java #collection... Probably the way I would look, too! 😁 #javaBubble #youtube #shorts #meme

José Paumard: why would you put null values in your collections?!?!

Benjamin Marwell ☕ @bmarwell.de · 12/04/2025

Well, I didn't fall for Mistake #11 from @tagir-valeev.bsky.social's book, but quite something similar: Jackson Objects are both mutable AND return the updated self. I took it for being a copy-then-modify-Operation and used the original value elsewhere - which was modified, too. 😬 #java #mistakes

Good mental health is often accompanied by physical health. So I started #running again. Last time I was running at this pace was nine years ago 🤯 Well, it's a start!

I renamed my #blog to: Ben's build notes. It's a better description for what I do: working on @maven.apache.org I might extend it later this year, so stay tuned. 😉 Articles about some interesting Maven use cases will follow. #Apache #Maven #Java #build #buildtool

Using Google Gemini, ChatGPT, Caddy and a spare (slow) Intel NUC, I created a local #ArchLinux package repo with a few packages compiled to my Ryzen Processor (znver2). Just installed it and will restart now. Wish me luck!

Bella the dog didn't actually play, so ignore that column. Oh and it took us a while until we figured out the o was meant to be a 0. 😅
