It looks like the reign of dual boilers for home espresso machines is ending. Modern machines use thick-film heaters. Funny how the internals get simpler, but the price tag of those 20 kg classics stays. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAnF...

I made my very first YouTube video showcasing TreeOS setup on a VPS. It is an easy way to test-run the system, and making the video was more fun than expected. I went with German audio and English subtitles. What do you think? www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdWg...

I thought I couldn't be more motivated for agentic engineering and what's to come, Case Conf 26 elevated that to a whole other level! It was an awesome experience to speak in front of such an audience, it was great to learn from the other talks!

In December, I released the first beta version of my small operating system, TreeOS. It is freely available on GitHub and is accompanied by a B2B solution called OnTree.co that lets you run internal or private AI-powered apps and skills 100% locally. Read the full article here.

In 2026, my newsletter will cover a wider range of topics beyond AI and 3D printing. To kick off the new year, I want to share two books that have reshaped my thinking over the past year. Unfortunately, one is only available in German. The other is available in both English and German.

Here are the instructions, it's just a matter of running a single self-contained cross-compilable Go binary that will report the results autonomously.
