Just setting up a quick Mastodon instance to test some compatibility is a pain. Using test accounts on public instances is also unreliable, because many instances are already overloaded and I don’t want to create spam. So I got a new DigitalOcean account with a $200 starter credit… ⌘ Read more

Ignite Realtime Blog: Help us translate Spark and Openfire!
We have started to experiment with an online tool that facilitates the process of translating Spark and Openfire. Both already have a bunch of translations, but none are complete.

I’m looking for people wanting to test the tool and/or provide translations. The aim is to make providing translations become so easy that little technological know-how is required.

Новый офис Яндекса снаружи и внутри
В Москве продолжает строиться новая штаб-квартира Яндекса. Подземная часть офиса готова, и с октября работы идут на поверхности. Если вы окажетесь на улице Косыгина, то увидите здание, даже не заглядывая за забор. Тем временем в Яндекс Картах появилась 3D-модель нашего будущего дома «в сборе» — так он будет выглядеть в 2024 году, когда завершится стройка:

How to create a keyboard shortcut to export the current slide in Keynote
Lately I’ve been using Apple Keynote to create graphics for using in videos and blog posts. It’s a quick way to arrange things on a page, copying and pasting most things just works, and there are enough built in shapes and tools to get the point across. However, after spending a full day creating graphics for a video, I found myself frustrated by the number of clicks required to export a single slide at a time. ⌘ Read more

“AirTags Expose Dodgy Postal Industry”
Last year, YouTuber MegaLag tried to send several AirTag-ged packages from Germany to North Korea with DHL. But instead of arriving there, they were either misrouted to South Korea or ended up in China. In a new video, he further researches the reasons and also takes a look at DHL’s sorting center in Frankfurt at their invitation. Very interesting! ⌘ Read more

Bunny AI
Bunny.net joined the AI hype and created “Bunny AI” (docs), AI images created on the edge. I tried it out, because it’s currently free during the preview, but somehow I don’t find the generated images aesthetic or I’m just to stupid to write better prompts. I guess the Bunny developers also need some distraction from time to time, because they are working hard on S3 support for Bunny Storage for years already. 🐰 ⌘ Read more

My website is powered by GoBlog, a simple and dynamic blogging system that’s open source, actively developed and implements most IndieWeb functionalities. It packages everything in a single binary and I’ve been so over the moon using it and seeing it improve week after week that I’m surprised it isn’t more popular. So I put on my evangelist boots to share how I use this “stupidly-simple” blogging system to power my online presence. ⌘ Read more
