I don't like laptops, neither to own nor to work on. They are very costly, are hard to repair or upgrade and I get neck and back pain from working on them. I love to work at places where the desk is (properly) equipped with (height-adjustable) monitor, keyboard and mouse. Most...

I am upgrading my 2021 Deskmini X300 to a X600 (finally...). The new machine has an AMD Ryzen 7 8700G instead of a 5700G CPU. It has 64GB DDR5 at 5600MHz instead of DDR4 at 3200MHz. I have the AM5 (instead of AM4) model of the Noctua low profile CPU cooler...

In April I wrote Fyne Mines (Minesweeper in Go using Fyne) and I'm very happy with the release on the Fyne Games page. When further investigating cross platform game development (in Go) I ran into the RayLib engine (and it's Go bindings). During the holidays I decided to recreate...

I am building a free email service that respects privacy and prevents profiling on 103mail.com (see: the plan). In this post I explain how outgoing mail can be captured to be handled by a web hook, while internal email is delivered normally. The post assumes you are running Postfix...

I am building a free email service that respects privacy and prevents profiling on 103mail.com. The simple premise is that even if you don't use Gmail then Google still has half of the world's email messages and since email messages tend to contain all previous content, they...

It was already 3 years ago that I wrote Minesweeper for Ebiten in Go. I wanted to try to bring the application to desktop. I have ported that implementation from using the Ebiten game engine to desktop using the Fyne GUI library...

I ran into the free online solitaire card games by Oddstream Games and I loved the (open source) implementation of solitaire card games in Go and Ebitengine. I noticed that the 12.4MB WASM file had been compressed with GZIP which resulted in only 4.8MB of transfer...
