This project started from a fairly simple observation: when visiting a new city, it is often difficult to find places that match a specific taste or atmosphere. Standard search tools usually surface the bigger and more obvious venues first, while smaller or more specialized places are much harder to discover.

The original idea was to build a mobile application that helps users discover bars, clubs, restaurants, and other venues in a more targeted way. In particular, I was interested in the idea of finding places with a specific character or theme that are often known mainly through local word of mouth.

I already explored the concept technically and created a project in Android Studio. The longer-term goal is to build a first working version that combines a map-based interface with a structured list of venues and their most relevant information.

At the moment, this entry serves as a placeholder for a future write-up. More details will be added once the concept and implementation mature further.

This project emerged from a practical networking problem. Standard consumer WiFi extenders work well in many home environments, but they are often not suitable for networks that use WPA2-Enterprise / 802.1x authentication, such as those commonly found at universities or in public institutions.

The idea here is to explore whether a Raspberry Pi can be used as a more flexible intermediate system: authenticating properly against such a network and then acting as a usable local access point or relay for personal devices.

The project is still in an exploratory stage. At the moment, I am mainly interested in the required tooling, setup constraints, and the practical viability of such a solution. The appeal of the project lies in the mix of networking, scripting, Linux-based systems, and small-scale hardware integration.

A more technical write-up will follow once I have a stable and reproducible setup worth documenting in detail.

This entry is less a single project in the narrow sense and more an umbrella topic that I keep returning to. It includes questions around personal finance, investing, risk, long-term planning, and the broader logic of financial systems.

Over time I would like to turn this into a more structured collection of notes and tools — potentially including reading notes, small analyses, and practical frameworks for thinking about financial decisions more clearly.

For now, this section remains intentionally compact. It will be expanded once the scope is defined more precisely.

Recently, I started reading scientific publications from different domains more systematically. This section is intended as a place to collect papers that I found interesting, together with short notes or comments on why they matter.
