Netlify has problems and suddenly many of the feeds in my Miniflux instance can’t be refreshed anymore and fail with timeout errors. I guess all those people use Netlify. Didn’t Netlify advertise using a multi-cloud solution?

I got the sudden idea to add a feature to GoBlog that lets you read a random post. Said, done. After a few minutes and only a few lines of code, there is this functionality: For both my English and my German blog.

Someone asked a good question in a comment.

How many times do you think you’ll change the back-end structure of your blog over 20 years? 😛

I hope 2020 was the last time I replaced the technical foundation for the blog. Now that I’m using my completely own system, there should also be little danger of me being lured somewhere else. Moreover, the whole effort… ☺️

My blog software now allows me to create, edit and publish drafts. Now I don’t need to use Nextcloud Notes for posts I don’t want to publish immediately. 😀

(This post was first saved as a draft and then published.)

From this whole messenger discussion, I get the impression that it’s harder for some people to install a second messenger than it is to do a tax declaration in Germany.

For the first time in a long time it is snowing and the snow is lying there! 😍☃️

Blogging is sometimes like self-therapy. Sorting and sorting out thoughts in your head and finally you feel better.

Once again I have coded a new small blog feature: statistics 📈 (English blog, German blog). I find it interesting to observe how the number of posts per year has changed over the years. Maybe I’ll add more detailed statistics with posts per month etc. soon.

Welcome to 2021! Happy New Year! 🎆🍀
