My personal recap of this keynote

The weird stuff:

• Apple reinvents Winterboard theming from iPhoneOS 2
• Apple reinvents Android quick settings panel
• Apple reinvents PiP on Safari
• Apple reinvents tiling windows
• Apple Intelligence - I'm a bit sceptical on how capable it will turn out. Also for everyone not living in the US of A it's again envy and waiting. Finally, I can't get my head around it how they won't be losing tons of money. Personal cloud AI sounds expensive as hell.
• Even more iMessage ~bloat~ enhancements

The fun stuff:

• Skydiving - I'm definitely not too old for this stuff.
• Craig, Craig, Craig, Craig
• Parcour
• Calculator on iPadOS - Err, are we living in 3024 now? World hunger is no more, everyone.
• WatchOS workout evaluation

The good stuff:

• Math and calculations in iPad Calculator and Notes - This would instantly make me buy an iPad for studies, if I were going to school/university right now
• Handwriting x word processor
• Your iPhone on your Mac - The seamlaess drag and drop gesture felt a bit like magic.
• On device AI - Pretty dope concept. I hope this turns out well.

I just finished setting up my Wireguard VPN "server". In this post I want to spread some information, I could've found useful but which didn't come up in most of the Wireguard tutorials.

If you aren't interested in VPN or self hosting, this post is not for you. If you haven't gotten around yet to try it out, I can only recommend doing it. Feels great being able to "phone home" from all over the world.

Alright, tricks and tips:

tcpdump

Wireguard will definitely not work first try. As Wireguard is a silent protocol, you won't see too many error messages. Dropped packets are how you know that something's off. tcpdump is a great command line tool, that, despite it's name, can also dump the precious UDP Wireguard packets. The tool will make you see how far your wireguard connection gets before the packets are dropped. Great for running on "server" and on clients.

ping

A classic tool. Helped me debugging some issues with DNS and Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) size.

AllowedIPs

In a classic server-client situation, your clients should have AllowedIPs set to 0.0.0.0/0, ::/0 in their repecive configuration file. I found this pretty counterintuitive, but that seemingly is how it works.

IP Forwarding in sysctl

This one was by far the nastiest one to find out. Mainly because I'm not a linux or Debian expert. You need to tell sysctl to forward IP traffic, which ususally tutorials around the web will tell you to do like this: sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1; sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1. What I foolishly assumed, that this write operation was permanent. It's not. You need to edit /etc/sysctl.conf for making it permanent. Else, after a reboot you won't be able to connect to the internet. This took me a good amount of reconfigurations from scratch before I eventually found out these vars will reset on boot.

Maybe this helps some of you fellow Lemmings. If I stumble across further tips and tricks, I might update this post in the future. For now though, I think I'm done with my setup (philosophical question: are you ever done with setting up things?).

Interestingly enough, I found it to be surprisingly complicated to implement a time interval picker with Apple's at the time provided UI elements. Originally, I planned on modifying their Datepicker (the one with the satisfying drums), but it wouldn't work. So I made this, which is good enough (fast, intuitive, precise) for a personal project.

I classify it as bad UI, though, because there's a whole bunch of better approaches to this problem.

Rezension zu einem lokalen PENNY-Markt: Leider wird kein Cocain angeboten, deshalb nur ein Stern. Die Verkäuferin hat sich zwar bemüht privat welches zu klären, das war dann aber Drecks Amphi. (Hilfreich markiert von 1 Person)

Hi everyone. I'm close to buying a Unihertz Jelly Star (this nugget here). One of the last things keeping me away from ordering is my concern with typing quality. ("Say what, on a three inch screen??")

Normal qwery-keyboards won't cut it, and thus I'm looking for recommendations on software keyboards for either tiny screens or super fat fingers. As I don't love auto correct, are there any T9-like keyboards for Android (9 keys is quite few, but how about like half of the keys of a full size keyboard)? Also, is there a way to install WearOS (or whatever Google calls it this week) keyboards on a normal Android phone?

If you've got either very fat fingers or a tiny screen, hit me with the keyboard apps you're using. Thanks a lot!
