Beautiful sunny day with 17 degrees. So I put on my sunglasses and ride the pedelec a bit. 😎

I’m currently validating the use of the OpenAI API as a cheaper and more powerful alternative to the Google Translate API. I hope my plans succeed and there will be a new GoBlog plugin with some AI power soon. ✨ So far the OpenAI API is quite easy to use, I thought it would be more complicated. Philipp is already using the API for his diary, another cool idea (which I may copy someday).

This time I’m doing my commute (to my second flat) with this new 70L travel backpack from Decathlon. It’s already full with just my work stuff (notebook, keyboard, mouse) and some other stuff (personal notebook, smaller backpack, toiletries, 2L water bottle). How am I supposed to fit 14 days of vacation stuff in there? 🤔 Good that I can take a vacation without having to take the work stuff with me. 😅

Since GoBlog has an Auto-HTTPS feature that can automatically retrieve HTTPS certificates via ACME from e.g. Let’s Encrypt, I need a public IP address with which I can reach my test instance of GoBlog via port 80 and 443.

One reason I (have to) keep WhatsApp installed: It seems to be becoming more common for companies to offer support through it if you don’t want to call a hotline. ~50% of my chats are support chats. 🤔

Now March is also over, the first lockdown turns two, my bachelor’s degree one. Time to look back a bit on the past weeks.

Mastodon 3.5 finally supports the Update ActivityPub activity. GoBlog supports sending updates for quite a while already, but only Pleroma showed the updated posts and not Mastodon. That would have been useful recently, when I posted “Spaces!” but wanted to post “Tabs!” and updated my post. 😅

When you submit a GDPR request to American Express (Germany), you get an “Encrypted Mail” (for which you have to log in again somewhere and set a password), which then contains two PDFs, one of which is full of screenshots of mainframe terminals.
At work, we call such terminals “black holes”. And mainframe is certainly even more widespread than many believe. Not everything runs in fancy Kubernetes clusters developed in Go, NodeJS or Rust.
