Greeting, Web-Traveler. You have just discovered the personal homepage of a human being named Jonas Kröber. I am currently in the middle of my master of Computer Science, studying in Germany. You can reach out to me by writing an email to contact [a with a loop around] jkroeb.de or by using the address I gave you personally. Also you can look trough my links below should you feel bored.
Links
This section contains links to places of the web, which I find personally interesting (and which do not reveal to much about my offline life...). It is inspired by the (now rising spirit) of the Small Web and in particular the lower half of this blog-post. I am not affiliated with any of them.
- lobste.rs --¹ Real people (!), interesting tech news, blog posts and entirely run by volunteers, who have no financial interest in what you see and what not.
- Ascetic Computing -- A beautiful essay about the joy of not pursuing the Shiny New Thing of the day and instead living a (computing) life of principle, purpose and focus. It sums up really well the reasons behind my own style of coding/development.
- The social contract of writing -- Good article about why people (including me) get upset when something is written by AI. Also gives a few interesting thoughts on what we will consider good writing in the future.
- textplain.blog -- Who says that you need HTML to write a website? Well, probably quite some people... Anyways, this is an “website” purely build on the good old medium of plain-text. To follow the links copy them into the address bar of your browser.
- The Joy and Power of Understanding -- Another good read explaining my point of view regarding AI: By not using it we are forced to learn new things. Every time we learn something new we expand our control, influence and power.
- susam.net/wander -- A great place to see more of the Small Web!
- xkcd.com -- Very nerdy humor and of that a lot. Also several interesting and fun (and again nerdy) books. Its a physicist who decided to draw stick man instead of continuing to work at NASA. What shall I say more?
- ublockorigin.com -- If you have not already installed an ad blocker, then please try it out. Installation takes less then 60s and you will finally have you attention back!
¹ Yes, I like using so called em-dashes (or this -- double minus). No, I am not an LLM, but a real human grown out of bread and water. All writing on jkroeb.de is completely done by myself.
