I remember I started a blog in March last year (2019), it was a simple Writefreely blog,it looked like this: It was simple, easy to use and you could follow it via mastodon, I wanted to engage a bit more with my fellow fedizens so I started looking into WordPress around the same time I… Continue reading My blogging journey so far

Thank you Yunohost (Part 2)
This is a bit of a continuation on my previous thank you post, since I received a lot of help and it deserves proper credit, this post is to be taken as part thank you note and part summary of the whole SSL certificate issue ordeal: First things first, in short Yunohost is an easy… Continue reading Thank you Yunohost (Part 2)
Weird things happen when you selfhost your blog (edit)
Interesting, I managed to screw up my blog. Logging in is impossible through a web browser, I get the message: 502 Bad Gateway nginx This happened after messing around with the WP Reset plugin, apparently I deleted some custom table I shouldn’t have… Funnily enough I am still able to use the android app to… Continue reading Weird things happen when you selfhost your blog (edit)
Convenience vs Privacy (Round 1)
A brief summary: I’ve been looking into privacy friendly alternatives to software most of us use or used in our everyday lives. To be more precise, an alternative to WhatsApp for communication within my family. Long story short: I lost this one… A while back I switched from WhatsApp to Signal and kind of forced… Continue reading Convenience vs Privacy (Round 1)
FOSS Donations
Let me start by saying that the purpose of this entry is not to say “Look at how selfless I am for donating money to FOSS organizations or projects” so, with that in mind, I will not list any specific quantities because that is not the point I am trying to make. Having written the… Continue reading FOSS Donations
Optimizing my yunohost wordpress blog

For reference, lots of documentation goodness here The most important part to note is that I kept getting bugged by both Google’s PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to enable text compression. After some time… Continue reading Optimizing my yunohost wordpress blog
Migration to WordPress
In recent days I’ve been busy trying to get my blog up and running on my cheapo Raspberry Pi + Yunohost server setup. The process was fun, so here’s a blog entry about migrating my blog (blogception?) from a writefreely instance to my self hosted wordpress instance. Why though? To put it simply: because I… Continue reading Migration to WordPress
Progress report on a more FOSS/FLOSS, decentralized digital life
For context, let me refer to my very first entry, the idea was basically looking for alternatives, so here’s the long awaited progress report: Changes already in place Using Mastodon instead of Twitter Using Pixelfed instead of Instagram (On Android) Using NewPipe instead of YouTube, this one is quite cool, it has all the features… Continue reading Progress report on a more FOSS/FLOSS, decentralized digital life
My Raspberry Pi server with yunohost
I will try to make this entry resemble a tutorial, hopefully this ends up being useful to someone. Why start over? I had been playing around with Open Media Vault before (see this entry for details), but it was mainly based on docker images and I could never get Nextcloud up and running (the closest… Continue reading My Raspberry Pi server with yunohost
Thank you yunohost
Ever since I started looking into the Fediverse, FOSS/FLOSS, privacy and self-hosting I was pleasantly surprised by how engaging and helpful the community can be. As an example: in Fosstodon all my interactions have been very nice, from sharing random unrelated stuff to asking for advice on more technical matters everyone has always been helpful… Continue reading Thank you yunohost
