Last week of summer school vacation. Kiddo and me used the time to have lunch at IKEA and also the new Korean Restaurant at Oranienburger Strasse.

A table setting with a plate of meatballs in brown gravy served with mashed potatoes and green peas, alongside a plate of french fries covered in meat sauce, two glasses of beverage (one red, one beer), and cutlery.
An indoor Korean-themed bar or restaurant with colorful neon signs reading "Band," "Seoul Nights," and Korean text, a glowing claw machine, a doll figure in a red dress, and metal bar stools set on a concrete floor.
A stone pot bowl of red curry soup topped with white cream and a mound of sesame-flecked seaweed sits on a wooden board at a restaurant table, with two brass cups and a green bottle behind it and
Four pieces of orange-red seasoned Korean fried chicken rest on a branded paper-lined plate on a wooden table, with a person in a red shirt pointing at the food and chopsticks and a pink packet placed beside it.

The other kiddo managed to catch a summer flu and passed it on to me. So the tail end of the week I was slightly miserable and stayed home. Didn’t drove to the countryside to avoid spreading the virus.

Tried to boost the immune system with some ginger shots and lots of garlic 😀

A glass bottle of "true fruits" orange-colored juice with a black metal cap sits on a black induction cooktop, its label listing ingredients such as kurkuma, minze, spirulina, limette, and banane. The cooktop rests on a wooden countertop.
A hand wearing a blue woven wristband holds up a glass bottle with a red cap filled with an orange beverage, labeled in white German text reading "richtig haarige Dinger," against a light tiled background.

On Friday kiddo and me took a trip to the Alexa shopping centre. She was mostly interested in books and vinyl. Eventually bought “Purple Rain” from Prince on Vinyl. Couldn’t be prouder as a dad 😉

Apparently the trend to print cheap plastic toys with a 3D printer that we’ve seen in China has arrived in Germany. Thalia was selling 3D-printed stuff from a German brand “Spiegelburg”.

Also fiddled a lot with N8N, Paperless and LiteLLM this week to optimise my document workflow. Wrote about it here

Pulled out DeltaChat again as I was curious about their Channel and Group features. Apparently one can set up a Channel to share with other that works as a one distribution from the Initiator to the Subscribers. They can react, but not post or response in the Channel.

Groups work as bidirectional as one would expect. One thing to keep in mind is, that new members will only be added to the channel or group once the initiator comes online. Apparently this can be solved with an always on bot that run’s somewhere.

I currently don’t have any real plans to use these features, was just curious.

Read an interesting post about the Foo Fighters as anti-vaxxer supporters.
