How can I safely format hard disks?

To delete data on a hard disk safely, a normal formatting is usually not sufficient. Data fragments can often be recovered afterwards.

Programs like Darik’s Boot and Nuke (DBAN for short), which is also free of charge in the normal version, are better suited for this. Here you can set how often a disk should be overwritten (the more passes, the longer the process logically).

The program can be downloaded ISO file, which is then installed on a bootable medium, such as USB stick. This is very easy with the free program RUFUS possible. This not only creates a bootable medium, but also mounts the corresponding ISO file.

Just a Web-Developer

Creating a developer’s own website is always a big challenge. You want to integrate all the cool features and show all your skills. Therefore, it is rather called here to make cutbacks and to put the information in the foreground. I hope this is halfway successful here.
To add value, I’ve taken the „Helpful Code Snippets“ element form my old website and integrated a search function for them.

Tatort Ruhrpott

A few years ago I had the idea for a photo project. I wanted to photograph crime scenes from the Ruhr region and show how these places look today. During the Corona Pandemic 2021, I started taking the photos and at the beginning of 2022, I started implementing the corresponding website.

CMS Geek

CMS Geek was a website project that I started in 2018 and was supposed to introduce users to the functions of WordPress through explanatory videos. In addition to a blog that informed about the latest news about WordPress and Joomla, there were also helpful code solutions to common WordPress, html and CSS problems.

Due to the lack of time to produce more explainer videos, I discontinued this project in spring 2023. I have taken over the code snippets for Just-a-Web-Developer, updated them and will continue to expand them.
