I wish you a Merry Christmas and / or happy holidays! 🎅

After reading books about Docker and Kubernetes for most of the day today, I wanted to do a bit of programming after all: My blog now has shortened URLs for posts. https://jlelse.blog/s/1 for example redirects to my last post about my current writing workflow.

Walking through the dark park is scary but fascinating at the same time. This is a night shot I tried capturing with my phone. In reality I can see even less.

Although Micropublish is an awesome Micropub editor, I just integrated a custom really basic editor into GoBlog to create, update and delete posts. I will also add image upload soon and then I don’t depend on any external software (except a web browser) for my blogging workflow any more.

GitHub finally has a dark mode. You can enable it in the settings. There are three options: system (automatic light or dark based on the system preferences), light and dark. Now I can better scroll through code at night or early in the morning. ☺️ Gitea (my preferred code hosting system) has a dark-mode too, but it’s more like a grey-green mode.

I just spent a few hours trying to setup Tor for this blog. You can now access this website using a hidden service at http://dvvbogg3cytomyhjf6jfzuaj4vuhjfvttn3wqdy25hpzgykstk5hjnqd.onion/. I don’t want to guarantee that I won’t shut down Tor support again, but it was interesting to set everything up and I learned a lot.

Once I am sure that everything works, I should write a more detailed article about it…
