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…
Codecademy was once a great source to learn new programming languages, but it seems in the last year, they started to push harder to increase revenue. After login you get presented a page to buy Pro access (and you need to find that small “Back” link), Pro banners everywhere and popular courses like the one to learn Python 3 are Pro-only anymore. Seems like I need to find another source to learn some Python basics for my seminar paper about Falcon.

Like of: Adding Series Metadata to Posts
Like Jamie Tanna, I now added the series taxonomy (more on taxonomies in the Hugo documentation) to my blog. The first series is “Using Windows”. I plan to make more use of this feature in the future.
I’m expanding my hugo-micropub endpoint all the time. My next planned features are:
- automatic webmention sending, probably by using Telegraph
- automatic posting to my Microblog.pub instance
- support for updating entries (I already built support for querying content items)
