This post is mainly to test if my Micropub endpoint works the way it should, but look at this nice photo of an elephant! I recently visited Hamburg with my girlfriend and one day we also went to the zoo.

I’m always amazed when I do my usual web surfing and suddenly discover a link to my own blog, website or one of my projects from sites I never visited or heard of before. 😄

After getting inspired by Kevin C. Coram, the blog is now generated by Hugo on a private Drone CI instance. Using a custom Docker image with Hugo, the site gets generated and the output is then uploaded to the server using rsync. Because this approach is much cleaner than my previous one, I could now also setup things like a preview page and I can update Hugo versions for my sites independently.

I agree, it’s definitely harder to contact people without Twitter. However, in the last year I didn’t need to contact anyone (people as well as businesses) who had just an account on Twitter.

And I think redacted information on WHOIS isn’t a problem, because at least in Germany (where I live) an “Impressum” (with a way to contact the website owner) is required by law.

Because I like reading what things other people are using (sometimes I find interesting stuff that way) and inspired by uses.tech, I started creating a /uses page on my website. There are so many things I could write down there, but I started with hardware, domain registrars and selfhosted services. Next, I will start adding all the softwares I use (browsers, editors, IDEs, …).
