My thoughts about Google’s Wear announcement
Published on in 📱 appydroid
A few years ago I used to watch the Google I/O live and report about it on my Android-blog. Time has passed, I no longer blog about Android and I’m not a Google fan anymore.

Windows 10 21H1 is available and I just installed it on my ThinkPad. Wow, that was a fast (major Windows) update! Not many new features though…
“An IndieWeb Recipe”
Published on in 💬 Micro
Mrs D wrote a fantastic poem about the IndieWeb:
A static site maker, for a place to begin.
A layout with markup (or just add it in!).
Host it on GitHub in public, for free
or fill up a bucket for a small monthly fee.
Webmention.io to make replies go,
Bridgy to POSSE to your old silo.
Mix with community for sugar and spice,
and enjoy owning your web paradise!
And there’s a nice article about the IndieWeb as well!

I configured Litestream for all my GoBlog-instances. This means that the changes to the SQLite databases, are replicated directly into an object storage at Scaleway. Why? An additional backup never hurts.
Miniflux scraper rules

Speaking of web comics that I follow via RSS, ATOM or JSON feed: ideally I would like to see the comics directly in my feed reader (Miniflux). Some feeds already show the images directly in the content, others do not.
URL Lengthener

Some people come up with strange ideas when they are a bit too bored. Instead of URL shorteners (I wrote my own, btw.) they invent URL lengtheners. Probably of little practical use, but still a funny idea.

Recently, I subscribed to a few additional web comics (my current comic subscriptions). Do you have any other recommendations? The only requirement is that I can follow via RSS, ATOM or JSON feed.
OnionShare

I currently have two technical topics that interest me a lot. One is SQLite, of which I am always surprised by its functionality and ease, and the other is Tor, which I find quite interesting because of its encryption and because I recently listened to Edward Snowden’s book “Permanent Record” as an audio book.
Promoting the use of Tor
Published on in ✍️ Posts
You might have discovered two new links in the footer of my blog or homepage. “🔓 Connect via Tor.” and “What is Tor?”. I now try to promote the use of Tor with GoBlog.

I have already written about my blogroll several times. After I automated it with Hugo and was also able to implement the automatic creation with GoBlog, I have now significantly improved the integration in GoBlog. Blogroll support is now directly in the application, hopefully supports other services besides Miniflux and there is an OPML download now. Blogrolls rock!
