Just published a new blog post about label and boxes for individuals: Breaking out of the box
Marcel Kapfer
I do creative things.
Hi, I’m Marcel Kapfer (at some places also known as “mmk2410”). At the moment, I invest most of my free time in creative work. That consists mainly of photography, but I also compose music, train myself in graphic design, and write text as well as code.
While this website is (mostly) focused on tech-related stuff (like software development, operating systems and similar stuff) and writing in general, I also maintain a website dedicated to photography as well one for music composition. The blog here, however, may contains posts about more or less everything.
Since about 2011/2012 I am mainly using Linux (sometimes exclusively, although currently not) and in 2014 I started writing software. In late 2016 I began using Emacs and Org-Mode and now more or less live inside it. After getting my bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of Ulm in 2021 I started working at a small software agency in Ulm, Germany.
Besides these pages, you can also find me at a few other places across the web.

My scribbles are my microblog. Random notes, mostly without any deeper meaning.

Finally took the time to finish my new bookmarks page that I started working on a few months ago. There's still much more to add, but it's a first step.

The effort for the Kirby major version upgrade was the same as for a minor version. Classic case of putting something off because of being afraid that it will be time-consuming and in the end it's not.

Breaking out of the box
2025-08-29
Boxes are everywhere, and it is too easy and quite comfortable to put yourself in a set of boxes that somehow seem to fit. Even funnier, other people put you in boxes – whether you like it or not – starting with your birth. Your gender, your nationality, sometimes even your religion. That is …
Switching away from Pocket
2024-11-13
I've been using Pocket (the bookmark manager) for a long time, either since around the time it was added to Firefox in 2015 or around the time Mozilla purchased it in 2017. I can't remember precisely and as of now I can't even check, what was my first stored bookmark. Pocket always was a bit in a …
CMS Search Update: The Winner
2024-03-20
What happened since December The last update I gave on my search for a new content management system was some time ago. Last December, to be precise. I haven't aborted that project, though. Quite the contrary: I was active in narrowing down the shortlist. I started by excluding TYPO3, Contao and …
