After long consideration, I have now moved email for all but my main domain (but that’s coming too) to Purelymail. Email without bullshit. And with the “Advanced billing mode” they really only charge by usage or $10 per year with the “Simple billing”, but even with Advanced that shouldn’t be much more than $1 per month for me.

Finally I have implemented a kind of trash in GoBlog. When I delete a post, it is first marked as deleted and can be restored within 7 days. Unfortunately the integration with ActivityPub is not that easy. ActivityPub allows to Undo a Delete activity, but Mastodon doesn’t support that, just like Mastodon doesn’t support Updates. 🙄

Instead of banging my head on Advent of Code, I coded something useful today: Text-to-Speech for GoBlog using the official Google Text-to-Speech API. When posting, an audio file is generated automatically from the post content. And, I have to praise myself for this, I documented the feature as well! 😄
