Of course started the week with a swim in the lake. It’s getting colder and below 10ºC now. No more casual swimmers for sure 😉 Also back in the office after two weeks of vacation. Was really looking forward to putting my hand on the Atlassian AI tools that have been enabled in our production instance. But then had to learn that the feature I was intending to use (build your own agents) is blocked for everyone because its pending works council approval. I get that this is important. Would just have been nice if IT wouldn’t have announce the stuff being available already know that it’s practically not.
Fiddled with the normal Atlassian Cloud automation for confluence and of course got frustrated that even the most simple things don’t seem to be possible. Create a new page from a template, ask the user to fill out a few fields and then replace variables in the template with the user input. How hard can this be. Atlassian’s answer: YESSSS!!!!
Cleaning up iCloud
I ran out of iCloud storage because I sync my Photos via iCloud. Now how to download and delete photos there? Turns out there is a tool called iCloud-downloader that can do just that. And also in a smart way by either just downloading, syncing or moving the files off iCloud. Unfortunately I had to temporarily disable certain security features (advanced data protection (e2e encryption) and 2FA with Passkeys) in my Apple Account for the script to work. But those can be turned on later again. The download maxed out my DLS Line and was done after a few hours. It placed the files in a folder structure like I would normally do: YYYY/MM/DD.
Now having the files locally, I started to import them into my Immich instance. For that I used an Immich CLI container to consume the file I had just downloaded and feed them into my instance. This tool would delete the files that it had already uploaded into Immich. Before the upload starts, the tool build checksums of all files to detect files that have already been uploaded to Immich. Those would be skipped for uploading. Rather neat. That tool can even watch a directory and continuously consume images into Immich.
In combination with the iCloud downloader that also has a watch mode, one could potentially build a continuous upload from iCloud into Immich. Of course only if you don’t have the Immich App installed on your iPhone that’s backup up all photos to Immich anyway.
Sushi & Poker
After a bit back and forth on the schedule of our weekly poker night we settled on wednesday this week. For dinner we decided for self-made Sushi again. Just simple one with cucumber, avocado and raw salmon. It’s actually a quick meal to prepare of the rice is already read. That takes the longest as it needs to cook for about an hour and then cool down again for at least as long. That dinner got the blessing of our oldest kid as delicious 😉
The clear highlight though was a powerpoint presentation of our youngest to sell a China vacation to her brothers. She was working on that the whole week and did her research where to go, what’s the local thinks to visit (and why), the accommodations, cost, flights. etc.
n8n vibe coding
Finally found some use case for my n8n instance. I’m capturing some web links in my Wallabag instance. If I want to make sure those links are still available in a few years, I should probably submit them to the Internet Archive so I can use their Wayback Machine to find it if has been removed or changed by then on it’s original place.
It’s now working for me. Still need to polish the N8n workflow, but for my use case the Wallabag node seems to do what it needs to do.
While I was at it … I also had Claude create a node for Immich.
AeroPress
My default coffee make is the trusty AeroPress. I just got a new one for Berlin as I took the old one to #project25. The new AeroPress now has clear plastic and one can see the coffee grounds soaking pretty clearly now. On to many years of good coffee.
glasses
I’m considering getting glasses for work eventually. It’s getting slightly more difficult to read small text at arms length. Given my age and spending almost 35 years in front of computer screens for several hours a day I think it’s OK to admit that eyesight is slowly but surely deteriorating. So I got my eyes measured and was testing some frames. I think the final candidates are: Will do another round of testing next week and then probably order. Will just use them for screen work and stuff. Far sight is still perfectly fine.
Dorfdisco
On Saturday evening I joined a few friends to a small dancing / disco outing at a nearby small village. Really lovely old village restaurant with a small room with a bar where the food and drinks were served. A larger ball room in the back was set up with a DJ for dancing. Met quite a lot of people I know from when I grew up in Templin. The dinner of a pork schnitzel was really good and affordable. Will definitely come again as the place was tidy nice and neat and staff very friendly. #enEN #food #Immich #project25 #vibecoding #Wallabag #weekly #weeklyreview
Just what one wants to hear ahead of a last-minute flight to see my dad one last time. These feckless assholes don't give a (pun intended) flying fuck about Thanksgiving, or people going about regular daily commerce.
Flight cancellations and delays are set to grow as airline passengers across the United States spent the weekend grappling with those issues at major airports nationwide after the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandated a 4% reduction in air traffic in response to the ongoing federal government shutdown.
If the shutdown continues, the FAA has instructed airlines to cut 6% of flights on Tuesday – and to do the same to 10% by 14 November. The transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, has warned that flight reductions could reach 20% if the shutdown persists, and on Sunday he predicted a “substantial” number of people in the US would be unable to celebrate the upcoming holidays with their families if the shutdown wasn’t resolved.

“You’re going to see air travel be reduced to a trickle,” Duffy said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union. “We have a number of people who want to get home for the holidays. They want to see their family … Listen, many of them are not going to be able to get on an airplane because there are not going to be that many flights that fly if this thing doesn’t open back up.”
The FAA’s requirement for airlines to cut 4% of daily flights at 40 “high traffic” US airports began Friday and represented an attempt to ease the mounting pressure on air traffic controllers. Like other federal employees, those controllers have not been paid for weeks amid the government shutdown, which has become the longest in history and reached its 40th day.
Those damn Democrats interested in reducing insurance premiums for shitty coverage.
As a "foreigner", "other" or "potential illegal", I promise to do my part and COMPLETELY AVOID THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA in both travel and purchases. This will allow you to better use your depleted resources and institutions for your own most precious agendas; making America great again or whatever you guys are bleating on about these days in the herd. You can count on me not to drag you down any further than your dragging yourselves down!

Fascist Israeli settlers haveattacked a group of foreign journalists filming their assaults on the Palestinians in the West Bank, injuring five, two of them so badly they were hospitalised.
The journalists were, Ranin Sawafteh, Mohammed al-Atrash, Louay Saeed, Nasser Ishtayeh and Nael Bouaitel. Some reports say that Ms Sawafteh was shot as well as beaten:
Among the others wounded were Palestinian farmers, medics, and international activists.
Israel has killed hundreds in attacks in the West Bank since the start of the faux-ceasefire in Gaza, including children.
Israeli settler attacks are growing in frequency, while total impunity ensures the next one is only a matter of time.
The secretary of the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Kristi Noem, reportedly authorized the purchase of Spirit Airlines jets before discovering the airline didn’t actually own the planes – and that the aircraft lacked engines.
The bizarre anecdote was contained in a Wall Street Journal report released on Friday, which recounted how Noem and Corey Lewandowski – who managed Donald Trump’s first winning presidential campaign – had recently arranged to buy 10 Boeing 737 aircraft from Spirit Airlines. People familiar with the situation told the paper that the two intended to use the jets to expand deportation flights – and for personal travel.
Those sources also claimed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials had cautioned them that buying planes would be far more expensive than simply expanding existing flight contracts.

TL;DR: Stop running a Jellyfin server. MPV can directly play anything from your NAS, stream YouTube ad-free, handle literally every codec, and is infinitely customizable. It's like vim for video.
Why I ditched my Jellyfin setup
I used to run Jellyfin on my NAS. Transcoding, web interface, the works. Then I realized... why am I running a whole server stack when MPV can just directly play files from my NAS with zero setup?
What MPV Actually Is
MPV is a command-line video player that plays literally everything. But it's way more than that - it's a video engine you can build workflows around.
No transcoding. No server. No web interface overhead. Just direct file access with perfect quality and zero latency.
YouTube (and 1000+ sites) with ZERO ads:

TL;DR: Stop running a Jellyfin server. MPV can directly play anything from your NAS, stream YouTube ad-free, handle literally every codec, and is infinitely customizable. It's like vim for video.
Why I ditched my Jellyfin setup
I used to run Jellyfin on my NAS. Transcoding, web interface, the works. Then I realized... why am I running a whole server stack when MPV can just directly play files from my NAS with zero setup?
What MPV Actually Is
MPV is a command-line video player that plays literally everything. But it's way more than that - it's a video engine you can build workflows around.
That's it. Ad-free YouTube in your video player with all your custom keybinds. Works with Twitch, Vimeo, Twitter, Reddit, literally hundreds of sites via yt-dlp.
Play entire directories:
mpv /Volumes/NAS/shows/BreakingBad/Season1/*
Boom. Instant binge session. Space bar skips to next episode. No library scanning, no metadata scraping, just files.
Workflows That Changed My Life
1. The "Watch Anywhere" Setup
Mount your NAS shares in Finder (or /etc/fstab for auto-mount). Now MPV treats your entire media library like local files. Add this to your shell config:
alias play="mpv"
alias tv="mpv /Volumes/NAS/shows/"
alias movies="mpv /Volumes/NAS/movies/"
2. YouTube as Your Streaming Service
alias yt="mpv"
alias ytm="mpv --no-video" # audio only for music
Now: - yt "youtube-url" = instant ad-free playback - ytm "youtube-playlist" = whole playlists as audio - Keep your YouTube history/recommendations in browser, watch in MPV
3. Picture-in-Picture for Anything
Add ontop=yes to config, resize window small = instant PiP for any video source while you work. Works with live streams, security cameras, whatever.
4. The "No Plex Shares Needed" Share
Send someone an SMB/NFS share to your media. They install MPV. They can now browse and play your media library like it's local. No Plex accounts, no streaming limits, no transcoding quality loss.
5. Live Stream Monitoring
mpv http://192.168.1.50:8080/stream.m3u8
Home security cameras, baby monitors, anything streaming HLS/RTMP = instant monitoring with keybind controls.
Customization That Makes Jellyfin Look Basic

Advanced Workflows
Watch Parties (Syncplay)
Install syncplay, point it at MPV, now you and friends watch your NAS content together in perfect sync. No Plex share limits, no quality loss.
Audio Streaming
ytm "youtube-playlist-url"
# or
mpv --no-video /Volumes/NAS/music/*
No GUI needed. Terminal command plays audio, you use keybinds (k=pause, j/l=skip, etc). Or just minimize and use as background music player.
For GUI: IINA (Mac) is literally just MPV with a pretty interface and uses your MPV config.
Frame-by-Frame Analysis
Built-in keybinds (. and , in my config) step forward/back frame-by-frame. Perfect for animation analysis, sports breakdown, debugging video issues.
Automated Workflows
# Watch anything in clipboard
mpv $(pbpaste)
# Random episode
mpv "$(find /Volumes/NAS/shows -name "*.mkv" | shuf -n1)"
# Continue last watched (auto position restore)
mpv /Volumes/NAS/shows/CurrentShow/*
Why This Beats Jellyfin For Me
Pros: - Zero server maintenance - No transcoding = perfect quality - Plays literally any codec without setup - Way faster (direct file access) - Keyboard-driven workflow - Works offline/online seamlessly - Infinitely scriptable - Cross-platform (Linux/Mac/Windows)
Cons: - No pretty web UI (I consider this a pro) - No user management (just use OS permissions) - No watch tracking (unless you script it) - No mobile app (VLC on phone + SMB works though)
Who This Is For
You're comfortable with terminal/config files
You want maximum quality (no transcoding ever)
You prefer keyboard controls
You value simplicity over features
You already have a NAS/file server
You want YouTube ad-free without browser extensions
Getting Started
# macOS
brew install mpv yt-dlp
# Linux
sudo apt install mpv yt-dlp
# Windows
scoop install mpv yt-dlp
EDIT: Holy shit, didn't expect this response. Common questions:
Q: But I need to share with family who aren't technical A: IINA (Mac) or mpv.net (Windows) give them a normal GUI that uses MPV underneath. Or just... teach them? play movie.mkv isn't rocket science.
Q: What about mobile? A: VLC on phone + SMB share to your NAS. Or just use MPV on desktop/laptop like a civilized person.
Q: No watch history tracking? A: save-position-on-quit=yes remembers position per file. For tracking across devices, write a simple script or just... remember what you watched?
Q: This sounds like gatekeeping A: It's literally a config file. If you can set up Jellyfin, you can handle this.

Overtaxed and unpaid air traffic controllers are resigning “every day” due to stress from the government shutdown.
“Controllers are resigning every day now because of the prolonged nature of the shutdown,” Nick Daniels, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, told CNN.
“We hadn’t seen that before. And we’re also 400 controllers short—shorter than we were in the 2019 shutdown.”
Air traffic controllers are federal workers, which means they are part of the approximately 730,000 federal employees working without pay since the shutdown began on Oct. 1.
The bill is called "The true shutdown fairness act", and it is a poorly named response to the republican "shutdown fairness act".
The main differences between the bills (which aren't really covered in the news, but you can read the bills) is that the shutdown fairness act was limited to excepted employees (those who have to work without pay), as well as some military personnel and some contractors. But it gave trump discretion about who could get paid, and did nothing for furloughed employees, nor guarantee all service members or contractors get paid (again, because it allowed trump to pick and choose)
The true shutdown fairness act aimed to ensure all federal employees and service members get paid, and prevent mass firings during the shutdown. I don't know/understand why this bill was rejected (I'll edit if I can find anything)

Edit: I can't find a news article with direct quotes, but this is part of the ai overview (so take it with a grain of salt)
Underlying reasons: Democrats opposed the Republican bill because they felt it would grant the President too much power to decide which employees would be paid and which would not. Republicans, in turn, blocked the Democratic bill, with Johnson expressing concern that it would limit the President's ability to manage the government and potentially reduce the workforce.
Last Thursday, the Senate failed to invoke cloture on a motion to proceed to consideration of S.3012, the Shutdown Fairness Act, introduced by Senator Ron Johnson, R-WI, to pay “excepted” federal employees during the government shutdown failed.
”Controllers are resigning every day now because of the prolonged nature of the shutdown [...] We hadn’t seen that before."
Well, none of the other shutdowns have gone on this long. I'm also struggling to remember any shutdown that's gone on for any length in an economy this clearly bad and heading further downhill. Nor has there ever been a shutdown where the head of the government has said they won't be paid in the end for time worked. It makes perfect sense for the ATC's to prioritize themselves, their families and their finances over a system that consistently and chronically under-values them, over-works and over-stresses them, and has explicitly declared it has no loyalty or concern for the people who work there.

And people actually use that as an insult. "You're not an adult until you own a car". Which is a sad way of seeing millions of people that have been living without a car for their whole life.
And the freedom feeling depends mostly if you live in a region that is offering you ways not to be car dependent. Where I live, we have a very decent network of bike paths in the city but also going into the countryside and traversing the province.

Over the years, what I learned about cars don't make me see them as freedom. I see them as a way to keep people perpetually paying for gas, sending billions to big oil. I see them as an endless sea and stream of pollution. They pollute the air and the sound. They are bad for mental and physical health. They take an ungodly amount of space. They kill about a million people every year. On the planet, every 30 seconds someone is killed in a car related "accident". Every year, two billion animals (yes, billions) are killed by cars.
Going to see my nephew for his birthday in the suburbs where my sister lives is comical. Twelve people invited to go park their cars around a house that only has space for the cars of the occupants. You have to find parking everywhere you go for this thing, then whine that there's no parking anywhere. Going to a funereal is also depressing, but even more so because you can see the traffic and congestion created by someone that died.
Cars are a horrible for humanity. They're like a drug that everyone tells you to try. You'll see. They're so useful. Of course you can't go back.
Maa Ka Doodh: Uncovering A Nation’s Dairy Disaster is an investigative feature-length documentary film about the untold stories behind the success of India’s White Revolution – The World’s Largest Dairy Production and Development Campaign. It also explores the ethical, cultural, environmental, religious, economic, social, and political complexities the consumption of dairy in India has created since millennia. The film uncovers how India became one of the largest exporters of beef in the world and its direct link to the nation’s dairy industry, along with the negative impacts of this industry on India’s bovine population, public health, environment, and culture, with the aim of finding novel, sustainable and ethical solutions.
We find ourselves at an extraordinary juncture in human history. On one side, we hold within us the power to heal, regenerate, and transform, to co-create a just, compassionate, and sustainable future. On the other, we are facing unprecedented ecological and social crises: biodiversity collapse, chemical pollution, climate breakdown, chronic diseases, world hunger and widespread injustice.
But the path forward is obscured by polarization around climate change that has fractured communities, strained families, and paralyzed political systems. And in the midst of this polarization lies one of the most powerful solutions: Veganism.
