I just switched from my Hugo-based webmention storing method (that triggered a site rebuild for every webmention) to Horst Gutmanns’s webmentiond. There are still a few things to improve, but I will try to submit more pull requests, like support for Telegram as a notification service and a few other issues.

Automation is awesome! I just automated my blogroll generation by using the Miniflux API and building a small Go script to download and parse the OPML, filter it and convert it to JSON. Longer explanation following soon…

I have too many clothes that I don’t wear anymore and there’s too much stuff in my wardrobe. So I use my holidays to move into another room and get rid of the old stuff. That’s fun (not really…)! 😅

There’s a huge park near my flat and on days with great weather 🌤️ it’s a real pleasure walking through the park. Green trees 🌳, fresh air 🌬️ and the feeling of being outside the city 🏙️. It’s really nice. 😌

I am finally done with the exams and presentations for this semester! Next semester is bachelor. 🙈

restic is my tool of choice to do backups. I’m just eagerly waiting for this a(a)wsome PR to get merged and a new version released! I’m backing up my Nextcloud (currently ~50 GB), but I never pruned the backup and now the backup is taking up more than 160 GB. That’s still just peanuts with Backblaze B2 as online storage, but I like to have things clean and tidy and a prune is overdue.

My site is back now (Hetzner experienced problems with the CEPH storage - I might switch servers to their new CPX line soon).

The TikTokJsonFeed tool works great, I just have to regularly update things to keep it working. TikTok likes changing their website and API all the time, but fortunately there is a community that keeps the scraper up-to-date.

There are times when you want to look at something on GitHub on the go. The previous mobile web experience was terrible, but with the latest redesign, the new mobile web experience is finally usable. 🎉 By usable I mean usable, but not necessarily good. I think GitHub still has some room for improvement.

Congratulations! It is exciting to see that some people run websites that are (almost) as old as I am. In 2000 I was just one year old. What will the Internet look like in another 20 years?

I bought myself a cheap glass jug to always have enough water in reach. Stay hydrated! 🚰
