I went out again for a longer walk and took a few more photos and even a video. Freezing cold and not very cozy, but I’m in a good mood! ☺️

Today it is snowing a lot and there are also snowdrifts. Temperatures of up to -15° C have been announced for the coming week.

This day today has shown that apparently I’m not completely incompetent at being productive after all.

Now the only question is whether this is due to a sense of achievement, the sight of an end, or the desire not to waste the time when my girlfriend is with me. Maybe it’s just a little bit of everything.

Only 6 weeks left until I have to hand in my bachelor thesis. But I am very optimistic.

I just closed my LinkedIn profile. It just didn’t make sense anymore to have me constantly spammed with annoying emails and messages. I have already signed a contract that will start as soon as I finish my studies. And should I be looking for a new job at some point, there are still plenty of other options besides doing it on this platform. So bye-bye, LinkedIn! 👋

Netlify has problems and suddenly many of the feeds in my Miniflux instance can’t be refreshed anymore and fail with timeout errors. I guess all those people use Netlify. Didn’t Netlify advertise using a multi-cloud solution?

I got the sudden idea to add a feature to GoBlog that lets you read a random post. Said, done. After a few minutes and only a few lines of code, there is this functionality: For both my English and my German blog.

Someone asked a good question in a comment.

How many times do you think you’ll change the back-end structure of your blog over 20 years? 😛

I hope 2020 was the last time I replaced the technical foundation for the blog. Now that I’m using my completely own system, there should also be little danger of me being lured somewhere else. Moreover, the whole effort… ☺️

My blog software now allows me to create, edit and publish drafts. Now I don’t need to use Nextcloud Notes for posts I don’t want to publish immediately. 😀

(This post was first saved as a draft and then published.)

From this whole messenger discussion, I get the impression that it’s harder for some people to install a second messenger than it is to do a tax declaration in Germany.

For the first time in a long time it is snowing and the snow is lying there! 😍☃️
