Stuff that works: Withings Body+ smart scale
Tuesday, September 5, 2023 at 9:32 PM UTC
I am late to the party using smart health gadgets. I am using Apple Health to track my health conditions for a while now, the Apple Watch almost constantly attached to my wrist. One of the metrics I didn't track was my weight. I've seen reviews of the device I want to introduce to you but I just recently grew extended interest for it. Since this device was discounted now on Amazon, I grabb [...]
The end of an era
Friday, September 1, 2023 at 12:00 AM UTC
Today marks the end of an era and also a new beginning for me. After more than 8 years in the We4IT family, including the subsidiary Nintera for the past 17 months, I am starting my new (but old) job at MEKO-S who acquired Nintera.
The whole team of Nintera joined the company and is adding the Notes/Domino knowhow as well as our managed services experiences to this brand. MEKO-S is lesser known [...]
Quick Tipp: Notes/Domino 14 EAP drop 2 is here - and now you can re-order your workspace tabs!
Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 8:29 PM UTC
Notes and Domino 14 EAP drop 2 is here and one feature has been added we are all waiting for, for decades: drag and re-order your workspace tabs.
Downside: this only works with the vertical (new) workspace tabs, not with the legacy horizontal ones
However, if you want to re-organize your tabs, use the vertical display, re-order and then switch back to the legacy-workspace - and you [...]
Quick Tip: What is Notes tryin' to tell me?
Wednesday, July 26, 2023 at 11:08 AM UTC
I just stumbled upon a combination of "errors" I never saw before when I tried to create a new replica from Server A on Server B (running locally here on my machine):
Thanks for this info, Notes buddy.
Directly following the next cryptic message:
Okay, let's check the directory permissions (this is a Linux based machine) - all good so far. I also can create new datab [...]
Again Apple proves that Homekit is the most unreliable smart home service
Thursday, July 20, 2023 at 9:42 PM UTC
All of the sudden, again the Home app stopped working after months of happiness. Reddit is full of this problem for years, the most recent I found is this: https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeKit/comments/14hzcq3/homekit_no_response/
Out of the blue all my devices are not responding - although they work perfectly fine in their corresponding apps. Event native Homekit stuff such as Hue or Vocolink [...]
Domino on CentOS/RHEL compatible Linux - Timezone issues
Wednesday, May 17, 2023 at 7:54 PM UTC
Backstory
With a new customer server we stumbled upon a strange behaviour using our low-code platform Aveedo we never saw before. We created the server at Hetzner using the Rocky 9 base installation. Rocky is binary compatible with RHEL and should be used in favour of CentOS in general as it is newer and still maintained. Domino installs and runs fine on Rocky. The version of choice was 12.0.2 [...]
The next level
Friday, April 21, 2023 at 7:00 PM UTC
As always I am late to the party when it comes to new device adoptions as I like to settle the first impression, study reviews and watch videos about them. This is no difference with the Apple Watch Ultra which was released in late 2022 as an additional option to the normal Apple Watch models, i.e. the SE and the S8.
I didn't wear a watch for about 20 years since I got my first Apple Watch [...]

"Trial version" message in HCL Nomad Web
Thursday, March 9, 2023 at 8:40 PM UTC
Today I created a new Docker image for my test server to run the latest version of HCL Nomad Web for Domino. I always use the community script to build the image. Everything worked flawlessly. When I tried to check the new version I ran into a problem though:
