I have already written about my blogroll several times. After I automated it with Hugo and was also able to implement the automatic creation with GoBlog, I have now significantly improved the integration in GoBlog. Blogroll support is now directly in the application, hopefully supports other services besides Miniflux and there is an OPML download now. Blogrolls rock!

Something stupid happened to me yesterday. On my post with the cake photo I got a few responses and comments that I wanted to look at. But on the smartphone display, I seem to have slightly mis-clicked and accidentally pressed “Delete”. That’s a button that only shows up when I’m logged in.

The post was then deleted and I had to use the hourly database dump to find the entry again and add it back into the database by hand.

To counteract this in the future, I have now created a second deletion step. Now the deletion must be confirmed a second time.

I also now use the European cloud provider Scaleway to store the Docker image (instead of Quay.io). I already use Scaleway for object storage for my backups, unfortunately Hetzner does not offer such features yet.

Thank you, Henrique! (And everyone else who congratulated me today!) 😊

Yummy 😋😍❤️

This evening I had a little fun with SQL and JavaScript. Now it is possible to see the number of posts without date in my blog statistics (en/de), but also the number of posts in each month of each year. By clicking on the year, the months are displayed.

It would not have needed JavaScript in the frontend, would there be something like summary/details for tables. But at least it’s less than 1 KB of JavaScript.

I just updated my Ubuntu installation from 20.10 to 21.04 and I have to say (again): I love Ubuntu updates, they are so simple and fast! I can probably do 5 major Ubuntu updates in the time I do one major Windows update.

Improved dark mode in 21.04 is nice as well.

Today I worked for the first time in a very long time (about a year) for a few hours (alone) in the office at my company. My internet provider suddenly had a major outage, and since I work mainly on a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI), it didn’t work without an internet connection. But everything worked at the office and when the internet worked again at home, this exceptional experience was already over and I went back again.

I think I’m just going to ignore most tech news for the next few days because it’s going to be all about Apple again.

Hoping to get faster WiFi and newer Bluetooth, I bought a new WiFi miniPCIe card for my laptop. As it turns out, there is a whitelist of allowed cards in the BIOS of many ThinkPads. Why is that? 🙄

A new gadget arrived today: a Bluetooth transmitter and receiver. I can connect it to my stereo system, which is already more than 10 years old, and simply play music and audio via laptop or mobile phone. Works great!
