Tech, life and everything else
While I don’t have a specific favorite genre and generally don’t listen to music much, I sometimes enjoy doing it consciously. And a great way for me to discover new songs is this TikTok-like view in the YouTube Music app, where you can skip through recommendations. 🎧
Some songs I recently enjoyed:
Happy first Advent everyone! November is now over and the last month of 2024 has begun. So it’s time to take another brief look back at the past month.
As I want to use my blog as my central web identity, I now updated my blogroll to also show all the microblogs I follow, whether these are real blogs, Fediverse or Bluesky profiles. Aren’t starter packs also just a new form of blogrolls? To follow all the blogs in my list, all you need to do is import the OPML file into a feed reader.
I couldn’t sleep this morning, so I got up sometime, ate, exercised, showered and finished my ATProto/Bluesky integration in GoBlog. You can now follow me there too: @jlelse.blog. But I think I will only use it very passively and only post my links there automatically.
Even though it’s a bit cold and muddy outside, today, while we’re still living in Kassel, we took the opportunity to take another look at the city from above. This time from the Bismarck Tower.

There’s a lot of noise about Bluesky recently, it seems like they passed 20 million users, with more than 1 million new users daily recently.
I currently use GoToSocial (with my numeronym domain) next to my blog, but it always confuses me where to post what. That’s why I want to move to my blog as my sole Fediverse identity. But before that, I wanted to implement another Fediverse feature in GoBlog: support for the new fediverse:creator meta tag.
Two years ago, when my girlfriend and I moved together, I rented a VDSL router, a FRITZ!Box 7590 AX. In my second flat, I still had a FRITZ!Box 7490. But one and a half years later, I replaced the wired Internet connection in the second flat with a cellular based one, and the 7490 had no use anymore.
It’s now about two years since I got my new laptop and replaced my Surface Go and my desktop computer with it to be more flexible when commuting. Here’s a small recap on why I’m so happy about my companion.

October has also been over for three days now, so it’s high time to take a (very) brief look back.
