Published on in ✍️ Posts
2022 is over, welcome 2023! A year full of unexpected events, many personal changes and a lot of new experiences… But since I wrote a review every month, I just want to highlight the highlights here.

Happy new year! 🎆
My December ‘22 in Review

Now the last month of the year is coming to an end and before I put together a short review of the year soon, here’s another monthly review.
Bitwarden Unified
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
Bitwarden (my favorite and recommended password manager) is offering a “new deployment option”. This new option combines all microservices into a single Docker container and doesn’t require 11 different containers anymore. And it supports PostgreSQL and MariaDB in addition to MS SQL.

Achievement for today: I can finally correctly reply to Mastodon/Fediverse/ActivityPub posts. 🥳
P.S.: And I can mention ActivityPub actors and they will get a notification (at least on Mastodon).

Just setting up a quick Mastodon instance to test some compatibility is a pain. Using test accounts on public instances is also unreliable, because many instances are already overloaded and I don’t want to create spam. So I got a new DigitalOcean account with a $200 starter credit…
DigitalOcean has a simplified Mastodon setup and now I can try to improve my ActivityPub implementation during the next two months and then probably have to create a new DigitalOcean account.
By the way, happy holidays! 🎄 My family’s Christmas wasn’t as expected. On Wednesday evening I got sick (I guess it’s RSV). But my girlfriend and my sister are also sick. 🤒 Today is my first day without fever, but it doesn’t feel like that.

WordPress implemented SQLite support! 😱 (Not merged into Core yet, but you’re able to test it.)
Update: Just tried the Performance Lab plugin with SQLite support enabled on a test WordPress instance using Docker. Do I see it right, that the plugin isn’t using SQLite WAL? That would probably give the whole thing a big speed boost. At least that’s what I do with GoBlog and my website is fast, right? 🤓

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
Published on in 🔗 Links
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. 🐰
