Today I learned takeout.google.com provides a simple way to export all your Google data. For example, Google Photos. Time to get rid of the "Your account is 2% full message"

Last Thursday, the second CHNUG (Swiss Network User Group) meetup was a wrap! 🚀 Somehow, I ended up taking the lead on the low-cost recording setup. 🎙️ 📅 Save the date: CHNUG #3 is happening on May 28th, 2026, at Nokia Zurich. Check out the recordings and slides here: chnug.ch/chnug002/

DCD was a pleasant experience and unfolded a new world of "how to build your own datacenter" from a physical location perspective. Saw some interesting cooling systems. I will never use this knowledge. 🤣

The moment you execute a command and expect it to fail, but it just works. And now, you need to verify if it worked.

Have you ever tried building a Terraform provider for a dynamic schema? @marcom4rtinez.bsky.social did! Marco created a strategy to generate tailored Terraform providers for dynamic Infrahub schemas, detailing the build and usage process in two blog posts. infrastructureascode.ch/author/mmart...

It will be a great tool. I am looking forward to using it in class

I couldn't decide whether to give a workshop or talk at #AutoCon3. So, I guess I will do both.
