I'm really, deeply, profoundly uninterested in journalism written by AI and edited by humans. The other way around? Maybe. I'm open to persuasion.

But, for me, language is a tool for communication between brains, not just a carrier of data – or a time-filler.

After years of back and forth, I decided to give a serious try to Obsidian. I loved how it leverages Markdown frontmatter as searchable "properties". I'm planning continue to use Apple Notes for daily notes and Obsidian for structural ones.

Ending up in spam folder as an email marketing strategy service. So inspiring.

My mom asked me to help her with a problem with her WordPress (.com) site, and oh boy. It's been a while since I've seen a UI that frustrating. The new theme editor is a sluggish nightmare. It took me by surprise too, was originally trying to troubleshoot an issue with her original theme […]

I created this in under 10 minutes with Windsurf + Claude. AI is great for converting simple ideas to an actual/running tools. I would probably not give enough time to publish this in this busy period, but now, here it is.

Just noticed that Cloudflare blocks ActivityPub requests to some Ghost websites. If you use Cloudflare in front of your Ghost instance, be aware of this or better, add `/.ghost/activitypub/*` and `/.well-known/webfinger` paths to whitelist for bots. This urls are just for ActivityPub clients.

"Ghost’s ActivityPub integration will bring 75,000+ new federated accounts to the Fediverse and Ghost will finish 2026 in the top 10 Fediverse server software by MAU."

When I saw WhatsApp’s interoperability notification with third-party applications today, I was happy for a moment. However, when I looked at the implementation details, it seems that this too will be Meta’s new data collection tool. Why are WhatsApp servers at the center?

As a global service developer, it was essential to test my endpoints from locations across the world. IPRoyal emerged as the most effective solution I’ve discovered and currently rely on. I highly recommend it. Here is my referral link: https://iproyal.com/?r=918853

This was an idea I had nurtured for years. Although I had created personal playgrounds, I struggled to transform them into a tool accessible to everyone. With the aid of AI, it has now become a functional and user-friendly application. I’ll be releasing it on GitHub soon.

I think I made something.

Apple launched Fitness+ in the Netherlands with a 5 years delay, without Dutch subtitles. Product page promotes bundling it with Apple One, but Apple One Premium plan is also not released yet. Apple really messed it up. https://www.iculture.nl/nieuws/apple-one-premium-bundel-nederland/
Waar blijft toch de meest uitgebreide Apple One-bundel in Nederland?
Apple One Premium nog steeds niet beschikbaar.

I published a guide on different Ghost hosting options, self-hosting and managed services. It’s on the Synaps Media site, but the goal was to keep it factual and useful for anyone choosing where to run Ghost. Feedback is welcome. https://www.synapsmedia.com/help/a-practical-guide-to-hosting-ghost/

Cloudflare is down again. This time it took down GitLab too, which is bad news for me. :/
