Some time ago, I tried keeping track of my subscriptions using a simple spreadsheet. But I still had no idea, how much I spent each month for various things not considered a subscription.

The new Firefox design arrived. My first impression: The tab bar looks a bit weird, especially with just one tab open. But all in all it looks more modern and reminds me of the Firefox Android version. I think I like it. 🤔

Of course there will be many, many people crying about the new design and telling everyone, that they will stop using Firefox…

To all of you who use Miniflux to follow my JSON feed: My (first) real contribution to Miniflux fixes the problem. 🤓

I also learned today that the Miniflux code base is not as complicated as I always thought. Maybe this will motivate me to fix bugs or develop features more often in the future. After all, it’s boring if I only work on my blog software all the time…

I have now completely disabled logging on my sites. Why? Because I don’t need the logs. Sometimes I used GoAccess to analyze the 30 days of logs, but I did that less and less and it doesn’t bring me any benefit. If any page is broken, I hope someone will send me a message.

If you need a simple tool, that sends some load to your web application or site, you can use hey. You can also use it to measure the performance. It provides a nice overview of the distribution of response times and shows how many requests per second your app served.

Somehow that’s a nice feeling to hear that you yourself inspire others to do something.

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

It’s been about 24 hours since my new AfterShokz OpenComm arrived. And I have to say, this is really the best headset I ever had!
