Nach langer Pause soll es hier weiter gehen. Die Geschehnisse in Deutschland und der Welt lassen mir momentan keine Ruhe und ich halte es für notwendig, dazu Position zu beziehen.

How to set up a custom domain name and TLS certificate for Plex running on Kubernetes
My Plex server’s remote access setup finally reached a state that I’m happy with, and I want to share that here. The idea here is: I want to expose the server outside of my home network so that I can listen to my music on the go, and do so seamlessly and via TLS encrypted IPv4 and IPv6 connections. Especially the latter is an issue that Plex has not solved yet; the official Remote Access functionality in Plex only supports IPv4. But I got there, and this is roughly how I did it:

Have you ever been going back and forth about the most appropriate default function key behavior on the Mac? Going back and forth about it, because after you thought you found it your setting, it turned out that your muscle memory is just set on Fn keys for some applications, while in others you just must have media keys, and you end up frustrated with both?
Fair enough. But I have. And with Fluor I finally found a solution to that! Fluor allows you to set up a default Fn key behavior on a per-app basis. As you can see above, I have my Mac set to Media keys by default (in keeping with the OS’s initial value) but for developer tools, I use Fluor change that to Fn keys on the fly. That way, when I switch the active application to Visual Studio Code for example, I have its debugger hot keys right at my fingertips, without the need to press the fn button.
Syntax-aware redefinition of kill-word in IPython
Although IPython to me is the best of all the Python REPLs, there is something that bothered me about it for a while: Alt-Backspace is one of the shortcuts I use most. In many shell contexts, as well as generally in text editing, it removes the last word behind the cursor, i.e. the last word I wrote. It is a very useful shortcut to fix missspelled words or when after writing it I notice a word does not really work in a context after all and I want to replace it. This removal the last word is often called the »kill-word command«.

Kürzlich habe ich festgestellt, wie furchtbar ein Gendergap in LaTeX aussieht, wenn es auf üblichem Wege (mittels Unterstrich \textunderscore) erzeugt wird. Besonders stört mich daran, dass der Unterstrich in der Schriftart Computer Modern (dem LaTeX-Default) ungewöhnlich lang ist und etwas zu tief steht. Hinzu kommt, dass in der deutschen Silbentrennung vor einem Unterstrich natürlich kein Wortumbruch vorgesehen ist, auch wenn dies bei langen ge-genderten durchaus sinnvoll sein kann. Besonders die »_innen«-Endung ist lang genug, um den sauberen Blocksatz für LaTeX unmöglich zu machen. Das äußert sich dann durch über den Block hinaushängenden Wörter.
