A new addition to my domain collection

Published on in 💬 Micro

My list of domains is constantly changing. Sometimes it grows, and sometimes it shrinks as I let go of a domain I no longer need. The good thing is that letting go of a domain makes room for new ones. Just yesterday I made a spontaneous purchase of another .de domain: jan-lukas.de, to go along with janlukas.de, which I already own and sometimes use for emails.

Sorry to all the other Jan-Lukas’ in Germany, but this domain is now mine! I’ve been watching its availability for a while. It seems to have been registered and parked with various domain selling services since around 2013. Now that it’s finally available, I grabbed it. For now, it will redirect to my blog.

Today, I finally finished the reworked MicroPub endpoint in GoBlog using the indielib library by Henrique. It killed about 400 lines of my spaghetti code. 😅

And I also improved the system prompt of the AI summary plugin a bit. First, I tried to write the system prompt myself, but GPT-3.5-Turbo just didn’t want to do what I tasked it to do. So I asked Bing Chat (GPT-4) to help me with the task of writing a good system prompt. In my tests it looked more promising then. Let’s hope for better AI summaries on my blog posts in the future. 😄

Now that I have vacation, it seems like my motivation to work on GoBlog (and blog) is back a bit…

Today, while remotely accessing my home server, I noticed that the network was a bit slower than usual. It turns out, there’s no 5G connection and only an LTE connection with another cell tower more far away. I checked the service provider’s website and there’s actually a problem with a base station nearby.

But this also shows, that, maybe, a cellular connection might improve the uptime given that there’s the fallback to other cell towers. The VDSL connection has no such fallback. But, of course, a cellular connection is more vulnerable due to weather conditions etc.
