Wow. 1000 followers 🤯

When we started self-hosting this instance, I wasn’t sure anyone would show up.

Now there’s a thousand of you listening to me ramble about Linux, containers, FreeBSD, veganism and sometimes left politics.

Danke. Merci. Thanks.

Ever heard of Gemini? It's a lightweight internet protocol between Gopher and the Web - no JavaScript, no cookies, no tracking, just text and links over TLS.

Think of it as the web before it got complicated. Pages are written in "gemtext", a minimal markup […]

That specific feeling of relief when you hit "Save" on the Out of Office auto-reply... 😮‍💨✨

And it works surpsisingly good! 🙂

I just had a weird experience:

I was writing YAML code in VSCode when the text editor started to scroll randomly up and down. Both my hands were on the keyboard and not even close to my mouse.

After a moment, I found the culprit: My cat, who laying was on the desk, touched the Touchpad of the […]

I’ve officially stopped using generate_systemd for my Podman deployments.

I updated my Ansible playbooks to use the Quadlet support in the containers.podman collection (state: quadlet).

Instead of scripting podman run commands or managing complex systemd […]

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]
