Notes

Rootless Docker is fun, but you’d better set those environment variables in your systemd and crontab files as well.

Was thinking of launching a (second?) public Aperture instance, but what I’d really like to see is a Microsub aggregator with an integrated, web-based reader and an API, a bit like Mastodon. One that uses a built-in polling mechanism, too, rather than a 3rd-party service (i.e., Watchtower).

Looking to start a personal wiki to save all sorts of little bits of knowledge, for use at a later time. Like information I come across online, on a particular guitar model or arcade cabinet. Or code snippets—why not? Then again, those are all things I could just write about right here.

Should look into stopping Aperture from removing things like tables and figures. One day.

Did what’s hip and created a(n undoubtedly still incomplete) /uses page. As this is a personal site, made sure to include my collection of affordable guitars. https://jan.boddez.net/uses

[Y]ou have to do marketing on your own, [outside] of the App Store. Just like always. The App Store brings nothing to the table. So while it’s true [that] all of an iOS app’s users come via the App Store, it’s only true because there’s no other option.

Oh, hi there. I’m the only person in the world not too crazy about bottom navigation tabs.

It might just be my IndieWeb filter bubble talking, but I think there is a renewed interest in personal websites.

Niks mis mee. Net daarom wil niemand in een regering met maar één zetel op overschot. Afijn, tot we (federaal) alsnog een minderheidskabinet krijgen. (Ook niks mis mee, overigens. Heeft het parlement nog ‘ns wat te zeggen.)

Posting this very note from a dead-simple reader app, so yeah.

When [Basecamp] pointed out that there were many other apps—even email apps—that allowed users to log in to their existing accounts without signing up through Apple, the reviewer told them they wouldn’t discuss other apps. And that was that.
