  • Scooter Modding

    I got bored in summer and decided to mod my escooter as far as possible, i added: All of this is powered right now from a single powerbank but i plan in better weather to tap into the scooter battery, step down to 12V on a car/cigarette lighter plug and feed directly from there. Todo:

  • (Fixed) Internet in Croatia

    Might be interesting to some – I’m now on my 3rd ISP (4 with the old DSL) and can compare pretty well i guess. My village has around 100 people but every house has GPON fiber so we get 1000/500Mbit (up to 2000/1000 on Telemach and RUNE) – Unthinkable in Germany or Austria. Ironically the…

  • LED Grow lights

    We’ve got them from Temu (or Shein) as my wife wants to grow mushrooms (the legal ones…) and chilis – I know from weed growing times (was never illegal in Austria, only flowering) the UV lamps use a LOT of power so we will see how LED holds up.

  • Updated macOS Screenshot/File Upload Tool

    I found some time to adapt my old file upload script created on macOS 10.12 to work on more modern versions, in my case 10.15. Install and use are very similar to the old version, encryption etc. of course stays as feature. New GitHub as i lost the 2FA for my old one…. https://github.com/i-william-hr/Bash-OSX-Uploadfile

  • Party Backpack – Tested

    I had some time and went to Trsat (an upper area of Rijeka) to the church park to try out my setup – overall i am pretty happy what one can get between Temu, AliExpress and eBay. Total cost with the Powerbanks probably 250€. Not too heavy in backpack either. For now i carry 2…

  • Free .from.hr Domains (Croatian residents only)

    Did you know that as Croatian resident (not just citizen, just need an OIB ID number) can get a free .from.hr domain? The format is always Firstname-Lastname.from.hr (so i have https://william-weber.from.hr) and you need to provide either an ID or proof of residence. .HR does not publish any whois data as usual in EU. They…

  • Contact Data (“Impressum”) in Croatia

    Easier than you think….. Croatia requires you to register domains with your unique resident/citizen number but whois data is not public. The data is verified but rarely; OIBs are automatically verified and the address of the owner is supposed to be verified within the next few months – i submitted a digitally signed proof of…

  • MotoMods v2

    Future is now (R) After some research i know the protocols used now (rather public anyway), i just need to get my hands on a dev firmware – for usage on a stock ROM i dont need much besides external APKs enabled (or so i hope..) Dev hardware is sadly hard to come by. Pinout:…

  • OCuLink vs Thunderbolt for ePCIe

    Introduction Both enable high-speed data transfer but have significant differences in performance, compatibility, and use cases. This post explores the differences and has a take on which interface is best suited for specific applications. I looked into it as i want an external solution for my 2016 Macbook Pro, both to test PCIe cards as…
