Eastern Danube, Day 6: Iron Gates
Thursday, July 30, 2026 Today we set our clocks back one hour as we changed timezones. That’s a good thing, because it helped everyone get up early to watch us enter the largest lock system on the Danube, the Iron Gates, about 6:30 am. We had already gone through Iron Gates II, a sizable single […]

Eastern Danube, Day 7: Belgrade
Friday, July 31, 2026 Early this morning, the AmaVerde arrived at Belgrade, Serbia. I have been particularly anticipating our visit to Belgrade because I spent several weeks here in 1987, when it was still Yugoslavia, and have been interested in what might have changed. In the morning, we took a guided tour of some of […]

Eastern Danube, Day 10: Budapest tour

Rabbit Holes v01
A few days ago I did some changes in my internal infrastructure, just adding a router and some cables. Then when I wanted to create a nice diagram just for fun, tried mermaid.live but couldn’t find nice icons and the local installation threw me some errors with my chrome version (which I cannot update yet due to other project that I’m working on). So I switch to diagrams and found that the debian package is outdated and cannot be installed in sid.

Going back in time
As a big music fan, I also think that spotify keeps us in a golden cage. I haven’t found any new music through there. It’s just the same random playlists over and over, plus suggestions of mainstream trash.

After my previous failure of trying openwrt on a rpi4 I switched back to my cudy r700, there’s openwrt support for that device, so I went that route. After some research I found this and was able to have it running.
