This problem is finally solved. The solution: Make the webmention endpoint URL in the HTML head absolute. Now I will finally get mentions from micro.blog again!

Three years ago, I really liked sunsets, and took a lot of photos of them.

OneDrive has an ‘On this day’ feature, showing photos from the same day in previous years. 6 years ago, I was on an Interrail trip and we were in Venice. Two years later, I was on Interrail again, this time in Lyon. Happy memories!

I really look forward to the final release of Gitea 1.15.0, which includes this pull-request. It adds the option to mirror to remote repositories, without the need to manually setup Git hooks, like I’ve done before.

I wrote about Barinsta (formerly InstaGrabber) before. The creator has now received a cease and desist letter from Facebook. That’s probably the death for this project. Too bad, because maybe a few people were quite happy to use Instagram semi-privately through it. But the letter is just another hint to avoid Facebook services altogether.

My blog has the function to open a random article (just go to jlelse.blog/random). But I also like to use it myself and it always amazes me what I find there. For example, what I thought and wrote four or five years ago. That was a time of many changes in my life, which probably shaped me a lot. I was searching a bit for meaning in life and my role in the world. Some things I see differently today, but some things I still see that way.

One of the tech news sites I read has switched from Disqus to native WordPress comments. Where uBlock Origin used to block more than 15 items (unfortunately I don’t remember the exact number), now only 2 items are blocked. 👍 (also for not switching to “Comment on Twitter” instead)

Some audio and visual impressions from today’s trip. 🏞️

Unpopular opinion: SQL is awesome and I really like writing performant SELECT statements.

Now that I have the option to publish posts without them showing up in the feed for everyone, I can finally use my blog to comment on other IndieWeb sites and send webmentions without annoying my followers. Now my blog is really a complete Twitter replacement for me.

One post I commented on, for instance, is Barry Frost’s article about his new IndieWeb CMS. A different approach than mine.
