Just noticed, but I have hit the 1000 posts mark on my English blog this month! 🎉

My blog(s) just got a new feature: A link to the current day archive (🇩🇪). There it is possible to see posts on today’s date in earlier years. Even more features are linked on my More (🇩🇪) page, by the way.

Let’s see whether the DSL provider change goes smoothly tonight / tomorrow morning, or if I have to use my mobile hotspot tomorrow.

Update: Everything works fine.

I just signed my own first apartment lease. 🎉 I will now have a lot to do over the next few months. 😅

Now consumer “security” software is mining cryptocurrency!

If the earth is already in a deep climate crisis, let’s destroy it even faster by using hundreds of millions of computers to print “money”…

Why again do I actually pay attention to efficiency when programming?

As I read “No Social Media Club”, I wonder what it would be like if I don’t share so much on my blog, what it would be like if I had never started sharing anything on the internet in the first place? 🤔 I somehow don’t have an answer to this…

After long consideration, I have now moved email for all but my main domain (but that’s coming too) to Purelymail. Email without bullshit. And with the “Advanced billing mode” they really only charge by usage or $10 per year with the “Simple billing”, but even with Advanced that shouldn’t be much more than $1 per month for me.

What I like most is that there is no unnecessary limit on the number of users, aliases or custom domains. 👍

And to keep my emails even if Purelymail suddenly disappears, I set up a cronjob (based on this Dockerfile) that backs up my IMAP mailbox once an hour.

Finally I have implemented a kind of trash in GoBlog. When I delete a post, it is first marked as deleted and can be restored within 7 days. Unfortunately the integration with ActivityPub is not that easy. ActivityPub allows to Undo a Delete activity, but Mastodon doesn’t support that, just like Mastodon doesn’t support Updates. 🙄

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.
