Some time ago I tried to make my Nitter instance available on the Internet from home via Tailscale, Caddy and an own building block in between, but stopped it again a short time later because it didn’t work that well somehow. Today I found out about rathole, and what can I say? It works great and seems to be much faster than my previous solution!

Thoughts about VPN services
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
I have never been a big fan of VPN services. I think that many users have a wrong expectation about it, they think the VPN service would provide them anonymity and protect their data.

I’ve seen several mentions of PlantUML recently and I’d like to share a few thoughts on it as well.
Yayagram

This is a Twitter thread (that would have made a great blog post) where Manuel Lucio Dallo builds a Telegram client for his grandmother (“Yaya”). But this isn’t a typical app, it’s an entire device. The “Yayagram” allows messages to be sent as voice messages via Telegram, and received replies are printed directly on thermal paper.
Advanced Blogstats

This evening I had a little fun with SQL and JavaScript. Now it is possible to see the number of posts without date in my blog statistics (en/de), but also the number of posts in each month of each year. By clicking on the year, the months are displayed.
It would not have needed JavaScript in the frontend, would there be something like summary/details for tables. But at least it’s less than 1 KB of JavaScript.

I just updated my Ubuntu installation from 20.10 to 21.04 and I have to say (again): I love Ubuntu updates, they are so simple and fast! I can probably do 5 major Ubuntu updates in the time I do one major Windows update.
Improved dark mode in 21.04 is nice as well.
