💬 Micro

Blogging is sometimes like self-therapy. Sorting and sorting out thoughts in your head and finally you feel better.

Once again I have coded a new small blog feature: statistics 📈 (English blog, German blog). I find it interesting to observe how the number of posts per year has changed over the years. Maybe I’ll add more detailed statistics with posts per month etc. soon.

Welcome to 2021! Happy New Year! 🎆🍀

I wish you a Merry Christmas and / or happy holidays! 🎅

After reading books about Docker and Kubernetes for most of the day today, I wanted to do a bit of programming after all: My blog now has shortened URLs for posts. https://jlelse.blog/s/1 for example redirects to my last post about my current writing workflow.

Walking through the dark park is scary but fascinating at the same time. This is a night shot I tried capturing with my phone. In reality I can see even less.

Although Micropublish is an awesome Micropub editor, I just integrated a custom really basic editor into GoBlog to create, update and delete posts. I will also add image upload soon and then I don’t depend on any external software (except a web browser) for my blogging workflow any more.

GitHub finally has a dark mode. You can enable it in the settings. There are three options: system (automatic light or dark based on the system preferences), light and dark. Now I can better scroll through code at night or early in the morning. ☺️ Gitea (my preferred code hosting system) has a dark-mode too, but it’s more like a grey-green mode.

I just spent a few hours trying to setup Tor for this blog. You can now access this website using a hidden service at http://dvvbogg3cytomyhjf6jfzuaj4vuhjfvttn3wqdy25hpzgykstk5hjnqd.onion/. I don’t want to guarantee that I won’t shut down Tor support again, but it was interesting to set everything up and I learned a lot.

Once I am sure that everything works, I should write a more detailed article about it…

Look, I love (personal) blogs, but I couldn’t care less about your “strategy for making money writing on the Internet.” But, I’ve already said that.

Is a blog really that personal when it’s purpose is just to make money? 🤔 I would call that a business blog. Probably a personal business blog.
