To all of you who use Miniflux to follow my JSON feed: My (first) real contribution to Miniflux fixes the problem. 🤓

I also learned today that the Miniflux code base is not as complicated as I always thought. Maybe this will motivate me to fix bugs or develop features more often in the future. After all, it’s boring if I only work on my blog software all the time…

I’m riding my electric bike and came across this castle. It’s called “Schloss Richmond”. 🚴‍♂️

I have now completely disabled logging on my sites. Why? Because I don’t need the logs. Sometimes I used GoAccess to analyze the 30 days of logs, but I did that less and less and it doesn’t bring me any benefit. If any page is broken, I hope someone will send me a message.

My evening project today was to develop a feature to display post locations in GoBlog, for which I created a custom Go module (100% test coverage!) that roughly parses geo-URIs according to RFC 5870. Nice feature for when the location should be relevant for the post context or I want to save where I shared a photo. An example in this post. 😉

Pro tip: Double check your commits for copy and paste mistakes. I learned my lessons today.

I can now mark text with ==text== in GoBlog. This is probably even better in some cases than using bold text. Isn’t it? 🤔

Windows 10 21H1 is available and I just installed it on my ThinkPad. Wow, that was a fast (major Windows) update! Not many new features though…

Mrs D wrote a fantastic poem about the IndieWeb:

A static site maker, for a place to begin.
A layout with markup (or just add it in!).
Host it on GitHub in public, for free
or fill up a bucket for a small monthly fee.
Webmention.io to make replies go,
Bridgy to POSSE to your old silo.
Mix with community for sugar and spice,
and enjoy owning your web paradise!

And there’s a nice article about the IndieWeb as well!

I configured Litestream for all my GoBlog-instances. This means that the changes to the SQLite databases, are replicated directly into an object storage at Scaleway. Why? An additional backup never hurts.

Recently, I subscribed to a few additional web comics (my current comic subscriptions). Do you have any other recommendations? The only requirement is that I can follow via RSS, ATOM or JSON feed.
