P.S. I am in no way affiliated with Cloudflare. This is just meant to be a honest recommendation. ↩︎
November, Autumn season. The transition from summer to winter is my favorite time of year. The vibrant fall colours are great for landscape photography and I enjoy my early morning walks even on cold and rainy days. Getting outside helps me concentrate, think and focus.
For quite some time I was thinking about writing more often, so Microblogvember 2020 came at a great time. It will also help with some of the more dreary days during this strange times. Looking forward to the challenge.
Moved some domains to Cloudflare Domain Registar (currently in early access). Migration went smooth and Cloudflare’s policy on pricing is great.
“We promise to never charge you anything more than the wholesale price each TLD charges.” … While Cloudflare Registrar will not charge more for the privilege of registering domain ownership, the service will also enable two-factor authentication for all domain registration accounts, lock domain registrations to prevent transfers by default, and automatically enable services such as Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) and WHOIS privacy—things registrars frequently charge for.
Count me a fan1!
Got my photoblog maintainingfocus running on @blot, so far so good (after straightening out some DNS issues). Although cross-posting images isn’t working at the moment, will have to look in to this tomorrow.
After seeing quite a few people posting about Blot, I took the plunge and will be trying it for my photography blog.
A good leader show which road to travel, a great leader helps others to see the road they want to travel on.
Dark mode support for the Marfa theme done! You can take a look using Safari Technology Preview 68 with Dark mode enabled in OSx. Marfa theme wil switch dark/light depending on your system prefs.
Working on enabling Safari dark mode support on the Micro.blog Marfa theme, almost done:
P.s. I will write a micro guide, but a word of warning: it will require quite some tinkering for Micro.blog themes besides Marfa.
Had some problems with my two year old iPhone SE, bought it in for a battery replacement today (after all it is discounted until end of the year) but to my surprise the repair is on Apple. These small things really make you feel like a valued customer.
Finally had some time to dust off my micro.blog hosted sites ( @manton thanks for solving a HTTPS issue almost immediately!). Also looking in to the new Mastodon feature. Anyone recommendations for a username (@roelwillems@roelwillems seems a bit strange to me)
Quite the announcements at WWDC from Apple regarding data and privacy.
Social media companies and Adtech in general will be facing quite a massive drop in data when iOS 12 and MacOS Mojave are released.
Instapaper has temporary shut down for EU residents. I’m not sure if they struggled to finishing up for the GDPR on time or they have some bigger issues getting compliant. Gladly they have enabled an export function (should you decide to migrate to a different service).
