Tech, life and everything else
The first Windows I used was Windows 2000 on the computer my parents gave me sometime in primary school. But with 98.css it is now even possible to make websites in the style of Windows 98. Wouldn’t that be an idea for the next homepage redesign?
Telegram wanted to launch a cryptocurrency, but now they stopped that experiment because a US court stopped them and the US has too much power they rather didn’t want to feel.
Like of: I Now Know How To use Git
After Kev Quirk was initially skeptical about Git and was desperate about using it, he finally made it thanks to community help and realized that Git is better than he thought:
Yesterday and today I worked very hard on making my blog faster. In the Google Search Console I saw that my blog suddenly gets half as many clicks since a few days and that my pages are only “moderately” fast. I don’t really care about the number of clicks, but I do want the site to be fast. PageSpeed Insights also showed me that the time until the “First Contentful Paint” seems to be longer than a second for many users (and it has to be under a second for it to be considered fast).
I have taken the following measures:
With Fast or Slow my blog now reaches 100% in every category. Hopefully Google will soon notice that the site is now much faster.
I am now versioning my DNS configuration. With the tool DNSControl it is possible for a number of DNS providers and registrars to manage the DNS and name server settings of your own domains. For example, it is possible to configure several DNS services at the same time (for example as backup DNS) or to make major changes by making a small code change and deploy them through continuous integration. In my configuration I even let JavaScript code generate part of the configuration. A great tool, I think!
I’m not really a TikTok user, but I have discovered a few accounts that are worth following. Since I don’t want to install TikTok under any circumstances and I don’t want to visit the website manually, I built myself a TikTok JSON Feed generator. This tool consists of only a few lines of JavaScript and uses the library tiktok-scraper. Now I can follow TikTok-ers and see new posts in Miniflux. I hope that TikTok will not block my server.
Microsoft today released Surface Go 2, the successor to the Microsoft Surface Go from 2018. All in all with few innovations, rather small improvements. The display edges have shrunk a bit, there is a model with a faster processor and the battery is a bit bigger. The Verge has published a video where they describe their first impressions of the new generation.
Not for everyone home office means sitting in front of the computer and working at home instead of in the office. For Fabio Wibmer, home office means that he does tricks with his bicycle at home instead of taking daring trips. This reminds me a little of the YouTube channel Dude Perfect.
I just upgraded my webserver from Caddy 1 to Caddy 2. It was not so easy to adapt my partly more complex configuration, but in the end I succeeded. I especially like the simplicity of adding plugins to the new version. There is also finally an official Docker Image. Also it is now finally possible to use regular expressions for redirects and rewrites. The new handler syntax is great.
They’re probably happy cows. 🐄🐮
