Tech, life and everything else
A recent post by Henrique made me look into Bunny DNS again. In the past I already tried it for one or two domains but eventually stopped using it because they didn’t support DNSSEC yet. Instead I relied on the wonderful services of DeSEC. But now that support for DNSSEC and TLSA records is finally here, I switched again to Bunny DNS with all 21 of my domains.
I procrastinated a long time, but I finally migrated my self-hosted Git instance from Gitea to Forgejo. I still don’t know how to pronounce it, but it’s maintained by Codeberg e.V., where I’m also a member.
To decrease my reliance on US-based services, I just switched to Actalis, a fully European CA. They offer unlimited, free domain-validated certificates via ACME, making the transition seamless.
While I’m grateful for the massive innovation Let’s Encrypt brought to the web, it feels good to rely on one less entity subject to the CLOUD Act, especially for a piece of infrastructure as critical as the trust chain.
I just have to tell you my current state with my migration to OpenCloud…
That’s the weather for me lately. Either so cold or so wet. And always so dark. It’s no wonder I hardly ever leave the house and even have my groceries delivered. I can’t wait for spring to arrive again. 🌞

Just migrated some storage buckets to Hetzner’s S3-compatible Object Storage and also set up OpenCloud. Looks nice so far, much better than what I remember about NextCloud. Let’s see if I will migrate from OneDrive already a few years before my Microsoft 365 subscription expires. Sovereignty, Digital Independence, etc…
While you can spend endless money on AI coding tools, I’m known for being a money-saver (I even secured the sparzauberer.de domain, which is translatable to savings wizard).
Welcome, Kev, to the group of bloggers building their own blogging systems because all other options didn’t exactly fit their needs! 😄
Even though Kev is no professional developer, the project looks remarkable! Maybe not being a professional developer is what prevents you from simply building just another blogging system tailored towards developers. It took me five years to finally write good (or at least somewhat good) documentation. Kev did it right away for Pure Blog (also with videos!).
Is it your final blog migration, Kev? I also migrated my blog a couple of times before I started building GoBlog. Since then I haven’t thought once about migrating again, as whenever I have the need for a new feature or some change, I can simply implement it myself.
For our wedding, I planned to develop a small site where guests can get more information, confirm their attendance, and view and upload photos. I started the base for that website in August and also bought a domain a few months ago. But I didn’t finish the coding. The design shouldn’t be as simple as my blog’s design, and I chose Angular for the frontend, as I also wanted to strengthen my Angular skills for professional reasons. Later, I wanted to build the backend using some n8n workflows.
I finally moved my blog to the new domain. I wrote extensive code and integration tests in GoBlog to ensure nothing breaks and to move all ActivityPub followers to the new handles, but you never know. 🙈 So far it’s looking good though… Hello from janlukas.blog! 👋
