Thoughts of an IT expert

I couldn’t sleep this morning, so I got up sometime, ate, exercised, showered and finished my ATProto/Bluesky integration in GoBlog. You can now follow me there too: @jlelse.blog. But I think I will only use it very passively and only post my links there automatically.

Even though it’s a bit cold and muddy outside, today, while we’re still living in Kassel, we took the opportunity to take another look at the city from above. This time from the Bismarck Tower.

My next Fediverse migration?

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

I currently use GoToSocial (with my numeronym domain) next to my blog, but it always confuses me where to post what. That’s why I want to move to my blog as my sole Fediverse identity. But before that, I wanted to implement another Fediverse feature in GoBlog: support for the new fediverse:creator meta tag.

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

Two years ago, when my girlfriend and I moved together, I rented a VDSL router, a FRITZ!Box 7590 AX. In my second flat, I still had a FRITZ!Box 7490. But one and a half years later, I replaced the wired Internet connection in the second flat with a cellular based one, and the 7490 had no use anymore.

It’s been seven years since my father passed, taken from us far too soon at the age of 51. I was only 18 then, and while time has softened some of the pain, his influence remains a constant part of me. He was a person full of curiosity and passion, qualities I feel he passed down to me in his own way.

Bitwarden finally released the native Android app (written in Kotlin) with version 2024.10.1. I used the beta since it was released and Vaultwarden updated to support it, and I can definitely say it’s a huge improvement to the previous Xamarin version. 👍
