Published on in 📱 appydroid

It’s really impressive how easy it is to sideload apps on the WSA (Windows Subsystem for Android).

I reworked the current ActivityPub implementation of GoBlog, fixed ActivityPub replies to posts and also added support for reply updates and deletions. Under the hood it’s using the comment system. 🥳 Using the go-ap/activitypub library, working with ActivityPub is much easier (but still more complicated than I wish it would be).

Today was already the 4th day that I worked using a mobile hotspot with a speed limit of 10 mbps down and upload. This is definitely doable. I’m glad I didn’t have to transfer any larger files. Faster internet is coming in two days. But I chose wisely when I signed my mobile contract last year without a data cap.

As I’ve probably written many times before (have I?), I’m currently moving with my girlfriend to her university town. I will keep my old apartment as a second home. But it’s still my first move to another city and I’m just realizing it.

Although there are definitely reasons to hate Windows, there are also reasons to like Windows 11: Linux GUI apps, Android apps, winget package manager and improved window tiling. It would be even better, when one wouldn’t need to toogle all the privacy and telemety settings first…

One simple thing to noticeably reduce the router’s power consumption: turn off 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. Meanwhile, almost every device supports 5 GHz.

After three days of AWS Developer training, I am fascinated about all the AWS products and features. But I also think that AWS has a huge lock-in power. Once you moved everything to the Amazon cloud, it will probably be very hard to get out of it again. And then prices will increase and you have a problem. 🙃

This training definitely helped me getting more experience with the cloud. Now I have to learn for the DVA-C01 certification exam. Feels like studying again…

Maybe I should write down my political views and thoughts in extra posts on my German blog in the future, instead of putting them in the monthly review and then translating them as well. English readers probably won’t get much out of it… Sorry! ✌️
