Update: i did get a reaction in the end, I woke up in the night with chills and body aches. Now some headache. Managing with OTC painkillers. It wasn't too bad, however it is still the strongest I have reacted to any vaccine that I can remember.
I got the AstraZeneca shot today! I feel a little bit of the vaccination reaction coming on, but not too bad. I am glad I got it. There is a little bit of a hysteria developing around this particular brand of vaccine in Germany. I think it's important that people look at getting vaccinated as a community project, and not as a race for a resource, where you have to make sure you get the shot with the biggest possible advantage for yourself (arguably Pfizer or Moderna).

I joined Gemini space two days ago and made my own self-hosted site. Since I didn't like the idea of installing ~1 GB of Rust dependencies to serve a 1 kB static page, I am employing a Docker-wrapped setup of Gemserv, totaling just 8 MB.
I wrote a detailed tutorial on my Gemini space and provide the Docker image, if anyone wants to try this resource-minimal approach.

I wrote a post on all I know and heard about the Clubhouse App, that is hyped a lot in Germany these days. Disclaimer: haven't tried the app myself. I couldn't do that even if I wanted to and had an invite, because it's iPhone only.
Read about the social engineering hack that jump-started the app in Germany, the rough start of German politicians on Clubhouse, the privacy concerns and cancel culture.

Managed to install MSOffice on Ubuntu using Winapps! Performance is really good, almost seamless. Also had to convert my Linux partition to LVM to be able to extend the root partition and make space for the Windows VM (should have setup LVM in the first place). Was quite a task. If this setup works, I will seriously consider getting rid of my Windows partition for good.

Google has suspended Element (@matrix) from the Play Store for "Sexual Content and Profanity". Basically same story as with Subway Tooter a while back. Element is to Matrix as Chrome is to the web. Curiously, Chrome is still on the Play Store.
We've sent a full explanation of Element and Matrix to the Google Play Store Policy team as of 11:44 UTC and we're waiting for a response. Meanwhile we've published a blog post on the situation which we'll keep updated as it evolves: https://t.co/5SmoJjZn4N
