Yesterday was another Homebrew Website Club.

Nina showed us her newly created Instagram-Archive site using Memento Mori. She also detailed how cumbersome it is to delete one’s Instagram account. We then talked about Dark Patterns for a while.

AI has also always been a topic again. How it can for example be useful to get away from big tech and host services yourself. Jochen told us about how he does just that now. What he previously didn’t have the time for now became possible. He also uses AI to add new feature to the website of his Python Podcast.

We also talked a bit about podcasting and available apps as well as how one might get away from large music streaming services like Spotify. And we made our first money transfer using Wero (instead of Paypal).

The next HWC DUS will be on Mar. 17^th.

I just found this one HUNDRED questions webmaster questionnaire! I'll just pick a few I feel like answering right now, thanks.

Jo and I are trading blog post titles. The title Jo chose for me is “A perfect day.” What would my perfect day look like? Reflecting on this question, I started to think about the days that have brought me the most joy in the past. I realised that the days that stick out in ...

I am trading blog post titles with Joe. He gave me a few suggestions for what to write about. I chose the title “Scotland’s brightness levels”. Place is a recurring theme when I am writing. Where am I? What do I see? What I write about Nature is what I see here in Scotland. ...

A while ago, when recording an episode for one of my podcasts, I slipped up on a few things that didn’t ruin the conversation or content, but that would have made it a lot more enjoyable to listen to and saved me a lot of editing afterwards. So, I thought I’d sit down and wr...

I have been thinking about the rhythm of my writing recently. I wrote in my drafts: I have spent much of this evening writing. I started by working on a draft of a post about clouds that I wrote on my phone using Apple Notes while waiting for the bus. I then explored a few mo...

I visit the IndieWeb wiki almost every day. The wiki is maintained by the IndieWeb community, documenting everything from interfaces for creating posts to POSSE. I was thinking that, like all wikis, there are pages that are almost “hidden gems” in the sense that, while they ...

You probably can run BirdNET-Pi on a Pi Zero, but it will work a lot better on a Pi Model 4B. The great beauty of having done all the faffing about with the Pi Zero is that when the 4B arrived all I did, literally, was transfer the micro-SD card across, plug in the microph...

People love the idea of the agriturismo in Italy. As explained in this blog post, “the synergy between agrobiodiversity and sustainable agritourisms, touch the grass.

There’s more to it than that, though, according to the FAO.
