Many of us (especially the younger ones) have ideas like the ones here, here, and here, but rarely the time (due to other obligations to survive) and the funds to realize them. I was a bachelor student when I first experienced how hard it was to buy some of the microcontrollers and other modules I [...]

We are visitors on this earth for only a few years. Some are born into generational wealth, others struggle every day to survive, but in the end all of us are forced to pay for this „Hotel Earth“ usually by having to work in a job. Emil Cioran once wrote in Degradation through Work that [...]

After spending a few days in Berlin, one thing became clear to us: we need to move to a bigger city in Germany as soon as possible. The city is full of life, with people who are relaxed, open-minded, and often speak English. We’ve mentioned this idea before, but our visit confirmed it. Ideally, we [...]

After a few years away, we finally returned to the city where we first met: Berlin. We took the train from Chemnitz, excited to spend a few days exploring and seeing how the city has changed. A few days earlier, we booked our tickets through the Bahn website. We decided to go with 1st class, [...]

As someone who has long admired Ron Paul’s principled stance on peace and liberty, I found this recent conversation (video below and additional links and notes here) between Lex Fridman and Scott Horton especially compelling. Horton, the director of the Libertarian Institute and a long-time critic of U.S. foreign policy, carries forward the same non-interventionist [...]

Just a few minutes ago, Game Science, the creators of Black Myth: Wukong, released a teaser trailer on YouTube with a new game they are working on called Black Myth: Zhong Kui. The announcement continues the team’s tradition of updating players every year on [...]

Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve taken a closer look at China, as I’m seriously considering living there in the near future (so far, I’m most interested in Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou). From what I’ve gathered, it’s often seen as not only a safer country but also a much cleaner and affordable one compared [...]

I have been on a long journey to decide where to buy our first home in Germany. This is not simply a question of price, but of how a city feels to live in, its rhythm, its spaces, and how well it meets both our needs and our way of life. While we plan to [...]

Compared to other cities I’ve lived in, the food scene in Chemnitz is fairly limited, especially when it comes to good Italian cuisine. So I was genuinely excited to find out that L’Osteria opened its first location here in February 2025 under the name L’Osteria Chemnitz Rosenhof. I used to really enjoy their pizza when [...]
