Tech, life and everything else
With all the hype (or bullshit) about “web3”, it’s good to see a counter movement as well. Whether this site is really “web0” or just pre-“Web 2++” (my term for websites overloaded with frameworks, JavaScript and CSS) remains to be debated…
GoBlog’s test coverage is increasing (currently about 41%), but I keep being reminded there is nothing like enough or even too many tests. I still find some stupid bugs that aren’t covered by automatic tests.
Merry Christmas! 🎄🎅

Instead of banging my head on Advent of Code, I coded something useful today: Text-to-Speech for GoBlog using the official Google Text-to-Speech API. When posting, an audio file is generated automatically from the post content. And, I have to praise myself for this, I documented the feature as well! 😄
Day 16 of Advent of Code is so confusing that I will not finish today’s puzzle. I wonder if yesterday was my last day with Advent of Code, or will the puzzles become more understandable and easier again in the next few days? Maybe I’m just more the practical type. I like programming, but such complex algorithms are not really my thing. And in the end, Advent of Code is supposed to be fun…
Kev Quirk has written a manifesto showing what bothers him about today’s web:
My smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, which has been my daily driver for a year and a few months, has a 4500mAh Li-Po battery ("lithium-ion polymer" – like lithium-ion, but with solid or gel-like electrolytes that allow a thinner design). My smartphone can be charged with a maximum of 45 watts. The included charger, which I always use for charging, delivers a maximum of 25 watts.
Every good blogging system should have an option to schedule posts for later! GoBlog now has such a feature as well. And this is the first scheduled post. 😀
And I finally started writing the documentation on how to use GoBlog…
Matt Baer, found of write.as, compares the web3 with his vision of how a real Web 3.0 could look like.
Reply to: Advent of Bloggers 2021: Day 8
Thank you for featuring my blog in your latest “Advent of Bloggers” post and your kind words, James! 🤓
Just two notes:
Jan’s blog has a simple design: the background is black and the text is white.
That’s with dark mode. With light mode it’s white background and black text.
There is also a German version of the blog for those would prefer to browse the blog in German.
It doesn’t just contain German translations, it mostly contains posts that are just relevant in German. So for those who understand German, I recommend reading both.
