💬 Micro

Mark emails me all the time with bugs he found in GoBlog (some that I would never have found myself) and features he would like to see (e.g. better display of Brid.gy webmentions). I take it as motivation and try to improve GoBlog in a way that it is useful for others as well. And I think there is a good progress.

But what will be the real challenge is to translate the answers and tips from our email conversation into documentation!

A few days ago I changed my home network so that the FRITZ!Box now directly establishes a DSL connection and I can use IPv6 again. Too bad that I only now noticed that this has led to the fact that it used the DNSv6 server of the ISP. Now I adjusted everything so that AdGuard Home is also used for DNSv6. Less advertising and tracking again…

The Brave browser now reveals its true face and becomes a web3 browser with integrated crypto wallet. More bullshit is really not possible…

My neighbors always seem to be playing Forza Horizon 5 in the evenings the last few days, loud engine noises from the apartment below. 😂

I missed the exact day, but now it’s been over a year since I switched to my completely custom blogging system. And still I am very happy with it! It has all the features I need, and if I have a new idea, I can usually implement it quickly right away.

Nobody can deny that the year will soon be over…

How many posts have I read now with people buying a new MacBook Pro to use for a very long time? How many of them will buy new devices in two years? 😅

If you really want to use a device for a long time (more than 5 years) then I don’t think it’s a good idea to buy a device from the golden apple orchard with the new processors. 🍎 Better buy a device which also has good Linux support. 🐧

Apple will come up with something to persuade Apple fans to buy even more expensive new devices in two years. 😎

Just my 2️⃣ cents…

I’m a bit skeptical about GitHub Copilot, but now that I’ve really tried it out for the first time, I’m amazed by its capabilities. Copilot doesn’t replace programming, but it does take a lot of the work out of it. What works well, for example, is the completion of comments in the code.

And another year… Time passes quickly, but still there are some issues that need to be sorted out, because all this was not foreseeable. But that’s life, rarely predictable and some meet fate unplanned.

So cool, I have a live preview in the GoBlog editor now! 🤓

I debated for a long time whether to integrate a JavaScript-based Markdown editor, but I like this solution with just a bit of vanilla JavaScript and WebSockets much better! It’s also the first time I used WebSockets and I didn’t think it would be so easy….
