  • The Unquantified Self and the Garmin Etrex SE

    Reading Time: 4 minutesSince boyhood I have liked watches. There was a period when I wore none, but eventually I got the habit back and now I regularly wear two watches. I don’t wear two watches because I like to wear two watches. I wear two watches because Apple sends to one database and Garmin…

  • Hugo and Upload Time

    Reading Time: 2 minutesI like blogging with Hugo. I like writing my daily article in VIM and then exporting it to WordPress, before publishing it both with Hugo and WordPress. The build time for this build was 14 seconds but it can take up to 20 seconds. Although this i slow this isn’t the bottle…

  • The Site Has Migrated

    Reading Time: 2 minutesAlthough it is absurd i decided to migrate the blog from https://www.main-vision.com/richard/blog/ to https://blog.main-vision.com/. It is absurd because the website has been at the same URL since 2004 or so, and to move it is to lose years of hyperlinks. At the same time the updated URL should be preferred by search…

  • Asking for Permission on Instagram

    Reading Time: 3 minutesIf you want to see how unhealthy social media is just look at this story about DMs on Instagram. Now if you want to DM someone that you don’t follow they can send just one text message. Imagine, you’re a user of Instagram. You’re following friends, family and colleagues. Now consider that…

  • The Post Social Media Age

    Reading Time: 3 minutesSomeone asked Is decentralization the future of social media? and I’d take an extra leap.

  • Slowed by the Wind

    Reading Time: 2 minutesYesterday I walked into the wind for two to three kilometres. The wind was so strong that the Apple watch gave me "high noise level" warnings more than once. The wind was around 30-40km/h. It was so strong that I stopped listening to an Audiobook because I couldn’t hear it. I then…

  • Quick Image Test

    Reading Time: < 1 minuteTesting to see if image loads.

  • Jumping On and Off Twitter

    Reading Time: 3 minutesThere are two types of Twitter users. Those that are still using it daily, and angry with what Musk is doing, and those that quit weeks ago, and come back every now and then to see how things have changed, or stayed the same. I am surprised that to some degree the…

  • ClassicPress and the Fediverse part deux

    Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter my first post about playing with ClassicPress and the Fediverse it was suggested that I try the nightly build of ClassicPress so I did. The result can be seen here. Mastodon and Firefish I have tested integration with the fediverse via Mastodon.social but also firefish.social and mastodon.social is faster, but mastodon.social…

  • More Experimenting with ClassicPress

    Reading Time: 2 minutesAlthough I didn’t achieve what I set out to achieve I have been experimenting with ClassicPress and the Fediverse, but rather than do it from my main blog I have decided to experiment within a subdomain and so far I have achieved much. I see that activitypub and webfinger can be installed…
