im not sure whether to make my website just a long-form content site, then set up a self-hosted mastodon for notes/fediverse connections. 🤔

So let me get this right.

I installed #Vivaldi browser to get away from #google. Then I go to install the bitwarden extension, and I have to agree to google toc’s in order to use the chrome web store?

I think I’m fully onboard the #YunoHost bandwagon now.

Capturing the stories

I have an internet friend who was also once my boss.

He writes a lot over on his blog — he writes blogging tips, short stories, cyberpunk, funny/quirky tales.

I find it inspiring for myself wanting to create short stories too.

Not short stories in books — just blog-length ones.

I tend to get little ideas of “what ifs” pop in my head now and again, but most end up getting forgotten.

I need to start using my notebook again.

As I write this, the tap is dripping, and I am thinking “Maybe a story about the frustrations of a dripping tap”.

We’ll see.

This post is one of those thoughts too: the thought that I should start to just write the ideas that I have.

No filter.

No excuses.

Let’s see how this goes.

#writing #blogging

I’m back up and running with #YunoHost again.

This time for keeps.

Using #Immich for photos and video backups and viewings. It’s incredible.

Set up initial #PeerTube instance where I’ll prob share short Playstation 5 clips I make.

And #Forgejo for moving all of my public repositories out of GitHub.

Gonna try and write up some longer posts about it all soon.

The logic of reform UK (fash) party:

“We want to stop all the ‘foreigners’ from entering our country.”

Also: “we want to restore Britain to it’s ‘great’ days of ‘world trade’ etc” — obviously referring to the days of empire*.

*Yano, the times when we would be the “foreigners” invading other countries for their raw materials and riches.

Also: “Our Culture” as they refer to it, was mostly imported into Britain as the result of all that colonialism.

Prove me wrong.

Has anyone had experience of setting up Protonmail SMTP Bridge on a linux server?

I’m specifically wanting to set it up for use as an SMTP relay in YUNOhost.

Transfered from my old server to using Yunohost. Migrated my wordpress site, db and plugins over. So hopefully I dont break anything now :S

Those fediverse stats on the WordPress dashboard are really nice. Great addition.
