About this site

Disclaimer: This image was generated using AI (DALL·E). It is a fictional, machine-created representation and may not depict real locations, objects, or people. Prompt: A sleek, modern tech workspace with a futuristic, abstract AI-driven design. The scene features a wooden desk with a closed laptop, coffee cup, and minimalistic decor, softly lit by natural light. The blurred background includes bookshelves with tech and programming books and a large window showing a calm city skyline. Interwoven with this are abstract, biomechanical art elements inspired by H. R. Giger – metallic curves, neural patterns, and semi-organic tech structures subtly integrated into the environment. The color palette is a mix of neutral tones (gray, beige, light wood) with occasional dark metallic and chromatic highlights. The atmosphere is calm, creative, high-tech, and slightly surreal – ideal for a visionary software engineer and tech blogger.

supportBlog is a personal tech log by Patrick Huber, relaunched in March 2025. It’s a space where I document my IT adventures, troubleshoot the strange, and occasionally celebrate the satisfying click of things finally working.

This blog actually existed before 2025—but due to an unfortunate mix of misplaced trust and a poorly timed rm -rf, most of the original content is now somewhere in /dev/null. So, while you won't find everything that was here before, consider this the continuation, not the resurrection.

supportBlog exists partly so I don’t forget how I solved something, and partly to give back—because over the years I’ve been saved countless times by generous folks sharing their knowledge across Stack Overflow, niche blogs, GitHub issues, and buried forum threads from the early 2000s. This is my way of paying it forward.

There’s no newsletter, no login, no paywall. Just posts, scripts, configs, and occasional ramblings—written for anyone who’s ever screamed at a terminal and then high-fived themselves when it finally worked.

Also, a quick disclaimer: some of the visuals and maybe even bits of content here are AI-generated. They’re used as creative support and a playful experiment to explore where tech and creativity are headed. Think of them as a glimpse into the future—stylized with a bit of machine flair.

If you found something useful here, awesome. If not—well, maybe you just enjoy reading about mildly chaotic tech experiments. Either way, welcome.

The main banner image featured on this site is AI-generated and crafted to reflect the creative spirit and theme of supportBlog — a fusion of tech, nature, and futuristic design. The image was created using the following prompt:

A breathtaking, high-resolution banner image for a tech-focused publication, seamlessly blending biomechanical and organic aesthetics in a style inspired by H. R. Giger. Towering, sinewy structures resembling futuristic trees fuse with AI circuitry and flowing metallic textures. Lush green vines wind through glowing data streams, intertwining nature with advanced technology. A radiant, futuristic city skyline glows in the distance, illuminated by a golden sunrise filtering through translucent biomechanical leaves. The sky above is vast and clear, with a soft atmospheric glow. Tiny silhouettes of biomechanical figures or small robots add a sense of scale. Sacred geometry patterns are subtly interwoven throughout the environment — etched into structures, walkways, and architectural surfaces. The atmosphere is cinematic, mysterious, and awe-inspiring, using deep greens, metallic blacks, luminous silver, and soft golden highlights. No eyes or faces are present.

AI-generated visuals are an artistic extension of the blog’s themes — experimental, technical, and always evolving.
