Second year of Covid did not made vacation planning any easier. We threw our bike packing plans through southern france over board and joined friends in Istria instead.

Originally we planned to experience the south-african heat this year. However, COVID-19 forced us to focus more on our local bavarian nature which is worth a trip without a doubt.
In the last year we traveled to India to visit some expats of the family. We stayed in Mumbai most of the time and did some proper sight seeing there. I can highly recommend to go to India during our miserable German winter season to experience the hot and dusty weather there.
After raving to Tiesto we spent some stormy days in the Netherlands. The street pictures were made in Amsterdam. The beach is located near Ouddorp.
Today’s enterprise security staff cannot keep up with the fast moving DevOps software development model using their old waterfall-like gatekeeping control structures. At work I am heavily involved in that shift-left-of-security-transformation, which lead to this collection of notes.
Without any preparation or a defined route we tried to reach a mountain top near St. Johann in Tirol, Austria in March. More snow than expected and bad weather prevented us from achieving our ambitious goal.
Monitoring the climate is a standard project for the RaspberryPi. I bought two Raspberry Pi Zero, two BME680 Breakout, booted my old Raspberry Pi 3 and started hacking.
In the last month I implemented CI/CD in multiple projects. Some of them were Javascript applications, others Python Flask REST Backends and Jekyll apps. I also used CI/CD methods to automate the generation of my LaTeX Awesome CV..
A few years ago I stumbled over the outstanding Awesome CV which is written in LaTeX. At that time I had no idea what LaTeX - but customizing the CV to my needs, contributing the Cover Letter and adding the image to the header taught me how it works.
In the easter holidays we did a trip through Italy and visited a friend that is currently studying in Milano. I would recommend Rome for sight seeing, Bologna for food and Milano for both.
In my last year at university (2015-2016) I developed a linux kernel module which secures the Linux Crypto API using the Intel Software Guard Extensions. That was not a trivial task because multiple difficulties occured during the design and implementation. In the end the result was pretty solid and I was nominated for the CAST-Förderpreis IT-Sicherheit 2016 in Darmstadt.
This summer we did a tour to north germany and south sweden. By car we traveled through Berlin, Sassnitz, Binz, took the ferry to Trelleborg, drove through Ystad and settled for 4 days in Malmö.
Currently I am developing Linux Kernel modules and normal user-mode applications in parallel. I needed a function which prints the content of a char array to the console, the syslog and the kernel log.
Intel released its SGX SDK for Windows to the public. They included the launch enclave, which is required to start own enclaves.
