I’m buying used things whenever possible as well, for example I bought a used bed and one of the keyboard / mouse pairs was also a used one. And my phone is a Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, so also more on the budget side, but not that budget that I have to replace it next year. I try to buy cheap, but not too cheap that it’s just trash.

Productive Sunday morning: I just integrated a full-text search into GoBlog. It’s using the SQLite FTS5 extension. I always find it impressive how many features SQLite has and what is possible with it!

Feel free to try the new search (on the English blog - or on the German one). 🤓

I will participate at least partially in the IndieWebCamp East. Probably only “in the forenoon”, because I am 6 hours ahead. It is my first IndieWebCamp, I am very excited!

These parks in the neighborhood are really nice to walk around! 😌🍂🚶‍♂️

I was wondering why my posts didn’t arrive at Mastodon, but it seems my ActivityPub implementation was broken. Now it should be fixed. For all ActivityPub followers who missed it, I now use my own CMS for this blog.

It’s really nice to see your posts published instantly instead of waiting 20 seconds first…

I’m just a casual gamer (if at all), so RetroPie seems like a cool idea! Will try that out…

With every day it’s getting dark a bit earlier, especially since the shift to “winter time”. It’s almost dark after finishing work. Nevertheless it’s worth to go for a walk.

After I recently invested some money to upgrade my home office with a new keyboard and mouse, I have now made the next purchase. I replaced my 24-inch 1080p display with a 28-inch 4k IPS monitor. 4k is really sharp, no single pixel can be seen. And even with my Linux desktop computer 60 Hz refresh rate is possible. The Samsung UR55 seems to be quite good.

I guess autumn is here! 🍂
