With Factorio 1.1 a simple yet game-changing feature was introduced: Train Stop Limits.

Normally I always stick to LTN or TSM, or , but now I'm feeling comfortable with a completely vanilla logisitic train network.

With just a few combinators we can emulate the logistic network with trains almost exactly. (Still no easy support for cargo-agnostic train deliveries though.)

So what does it take to have a logistic train network in unmodded Factorio?

Well turns out we can break down the steps fairly easily…

CloudFlare just opened up it’s Web Analytics to everyone.

Their proposal is that their solution is far more privacy friendly compared to other conventional analytics like Google, which totally makes sense, but how does it compare to my current choice: Matomo?

Drop X THX Panda: Perfectly clear

Updates: 3 Months

After many months of anticipation and multiple delays in production, I finally have on my head a pair of “the world’s highest fidelity wireless headphones.”

And I think I will agree with their claim - although my word may not mean as much as some professional reviewers out there with $500+ pairs of headphones, I find that these headphones have clarity far beyond anything I’ve tried and reproduce sound so accurately it’s somewhat spooky.

A lot of people will probably disagree with me, I am no expert in audio, after all this is my first planar headphone experience ever, so instead of focusing so much on their pure audio quality, I’ll talk about my specific experience with them.

Dear Keybase, I am very scared.

If all you read is the intro text, take this quote:

A bought-out company can never be trusted more than the parent company.

And unfortunately, Keybase, a company which I originally held in extremely high regard, just got bought by one which I personally have strong negative prejudice about.

And thus marks the downfall of Keybase’s trust factor.

If this were the other way around: If Keybase acquired Zoom: I would be ecstatic, because I truly think Keybase has the ability to create a great end-to-end complete platform for all kinds of communication, but not quite the best possible platform, as you’ll see lower down in this post.

Though luckily, not all is completely lost:

The Ultimate Hacking Keyboard: A long term report

In December of 2018 I finally received my UHK after months of waiting.

After using it daily since, I’m 100% convinced that the UHK is worth the asking price, probably more, and I’m happy that I got it at an early adopter discount.

Currently at $275 USD it’s definitely priced like the split ergonomic keyboard that it is, but what I think makes this one worth that is the open source, hackable nature of the keyboard.

Here’s my thoughts after using it as my daily driver for many months,
