It was a nice evening yesterday with interesting discussions about different IndieWeb topics! I also used the writing hour to write some code for my custom CMS and it’s progressing well…

Patreon CEO shares his most epic failures
Published on in 🔗 Links
Jack Conte, CEO of Patreon, talks about failures. Instead of focusing only on the one thing that is eventually successful, he talks about all his failures. About music videos, on which he spent half his fortune, but which were then unsuccessful and how he kept on trying and trying and trying. A really worth seeing talk.

Reply to: A question by a reader
Answer to a comment by a reader on my last post: I know that there’s an active modding community for the Xiaomi Mi A1. However, I don’t want to use any custom ROM as long as possible, because it usually makes using banking apps etc. a lot harder and I don’t have any alternative to them. And Android 9 is still recent enough that all apps (I need) work fine. I used LineageOS on my Moto G 3rd Gen. and the Moto E 1 Gen. I had before.
Is it just my feeling or is there way less talk about custom ROMs these days? I already thought about this in 2018.
I cancelled my 1+ Nord pre-order
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
Shortly after the official announcement I pre-ordered the 12 GB version of OnePlus Nord on Amazon for 499€ minus 30€ Prime discount. It should have been shipped tomorrow and arrived at my place on Wednesday. However, I cancelled the pre-order today after I came across an article about display problems with this and other OnePlus devices (this is apparently not a rare problem with 1+).

This day is successful: I created a recursive SQL CTE in SQLite even before noon. 🤓
with recursive f (i, fp, tp) as (select 1, fromPath, toPath
from redirects
where fromPath = ?
union all
select f.i + 1, r.fromPath, r.toPath
from redirects as r
join f on f.tp = r.fromPath)
select tp
from f
order by i desc
limit 1
This is for my new CMS project.

The last 3 days I was in Poland with a few other students from my company. We visited the beautiful Wrocław and also met with coworkers based there.
RSS and the Hacker News frontpage

I never thought being featured in a website that hits the Hacker News frontpage, results in so many pageviews. Thanks for sharing my blog, Kev!
Why my blog has NO AMP version
Published on in 💭 Thoughts
Two days ago, Owen Williams shared a story on Medium’s OneZero with the title “Google Is Tightening Its Grip on Your Website”. He tells that it seems like Google is trying to get more power over the web in a somewhat evil way by forcing sites to implement an AMP (“accelerated mobile pages”) version. When sites don’t implement it, they won’t appear in Chrome’s discover page or in the top search results.
Too much news?

I’m currently on vacation and spend less time than usual on things like news and blog articles. A result of this is my news reader is collecting more and more news articles, but too many to read them all.
