I have a question: Is there something similar to Telegram channels in Matrix? What should I do when I want to enable people to be notified about new blog posts using Matrix?
“AirTags Expose Dodgy Postal Industry”
Published on in 🔗 Links
Last year, YouTuber MegaLag tried to send several AirTag-ged packages from Germany to North Korea with DHL. But instead of arriving there, they were either misrouted to South Korea or ended up in China. In a new video, he further researches the reasons and also takes a look at DHL’s sorting center in Frankfurt at their invitation. Very interesting!
Bunny AI

Bunny.net joined the AI hype and created “Bunny AI” (docs), AI images created on the edge. I tried it out, because it’s currently free during the preview, but somehow I don’t find the generated images aesthetic or I’m just to stupid to write better prompts. I guess the Bunny developers also need some distraction from time to time, because they are working hard on S3 support for Bunny Storage for years already. 🐰

Like of: Go IndieWeb with GoBlog
My website is powered by GoBlog, a simple and dynamic blogging system that’s open source, actively developed and implements most IndieWeb functionalities. It packages everything in a single binary and I’ve been so over the moon using it and seeing it improve week after week that I’m surprised it isn’t more popular. So I put on my evangelist boots to share how I use this “stupidly-simple” blogging system to power my online presence.
Thanks, Andrés, for all your great improvement ideas, will to try out all the undocumented features, your feedback and for sharing GoBlog! 😄

A few weeks ago, it came to light that Gitea has been owned by a for-profit Gitea Ltd. for several months. The lack of transparency has disturbed the trust of many contributors and users. That’s why Codeberg (a German based non-profit association - disclaimer: I am a member of the association) has now started a soft fork: Forgejo.

I should write better tests or at least create some automatic tests. 😬 (But ActivityPub is so complicated to test!)
Due to some mistakes in my blog’s ActivityPub implementation, I lost all my followers and my posts didn’t send. Glad that I have some backup and was able to reimport all followers from 2022-12-10 02:00. 😅 If you followed me after that time, please re-follow to get my posts in your user’s inbox. 😊
And now, good night! 😴
Should I sell my PC?

I’m not sure yet what I’m going to do with my desktop computer (ASRock Deskmini A300), which I don’t really use anymore since I got my new laptop.

I think it was a very wise decision to buy some long merino underwear, a new and warmer jacket and new winter shoes. It’s so cold! The whole week already under 0°C.

I’m honestly thinking about switching browsers, because this “new feature” where Firefox always downloads PDFs first to display them is annoying me so much. I don’t want my Downloads folder to be cluttered with all those random PDFs. If I open a restaurant’s menu PDF, I just want to take a quick look, but don’t want to have the PDF in my Downloads folder until I manually delete it and then delete it from the Recycle Bin again. There are some work-arounds, but no real solution.

I use Firefox as my preferred web browser both on PCs and my phone. One extension is always installed: uBlock Origin. The web is so much nicer with all the ads and tracking removed. But today I also retried an extension that will probably join the “must install” list: DarkReader. Especially when I’m browsing the web on my phone in the early morning, I don’t like to be blinded by white websites. Since March DarkReader has finally an option to detect if a website already has a dark theme and only apply it’s color changes to those who haven’t.
