Statuses

  • Self-hosting slash page

    I’ve added a custom slash page to my site: Self-hosting

    Why? I find it interesting what people use for self-hosting and I’m always happy if I find something new others use.

  • Working on saving form submissions

    I’m currently working on saving form submissions in Form Block and already made huge progress.

    UI still needs some work (and also the field output is currently in plain text – meh – but for now, I’m pretty happy with its current state.

    I did also mention that the default post lists (posts, pages) ignore the defined date and time format settings. 🤔

  • Self-hosting testing day

    Today, it’s my self-hosting testing day. I’ll test some software found on the awesome-selfhosted list on GitHub.

    Testing includes:

  • Testing OpenCloud

    I recently discovered OwnCloud Infinite Scale, but couldn’t find much information about the installation, etc., even though it sounded interesting (building OwnCloud from scratch in Go sounds promising instead of using PHP, as the old version and also NextCloud do).

    Fast forward to this week, I stumbled upon OpenCloud, a fork of OwnCloud Infinite Scale, with an easy to find documentation.

    So, I now test it on my TrueNAS Community, whether it can replace my current Seafile solution. So far, it probably can.

  • Uptime Kuma broken?

    Exactly at 0:00 tonight, my monitors in Uptime Kuma started to report downtime. Log told me either “timeout of 48000ms exceeded” or “getaddrinfo EAI_AGAIN”, despite the actual websites all being online.

    I changed DNS settings from Quad9 to dns0.eu, nothing changed. Updated from the current release version to v2 beta 3 (because I already wanted it before), nothing changed. Changed the DNS settings to my local AdGuard home – everything’s fine now. 🤔

    Why? 😄

  • Updated now and next pages

    I just updated my now and next slash pages. Looks like I’m not good at it since the latter shows now the work that’s already in its final state. 😅

  • Switch S3 storage

    Currently switching my S3 storage from Backblaze B2 to Intercolo i3, as part of removing reliability from US companies (Intercolo is hosted in Germany). And because performance was a problem the recent time (failed or hanging uploads).

    It took me a while to find a provider with similar overall prices, but currently, uploads work just fine via rclone in the first free month. And it has statistics!!! 😍

    As backup storage, it seems fine. Can’t tell you more at the moment.

  • It’s time …

    It’s time for me to try Polypane. Hope to speed-up developing and improvements regarding accessibility audits.

  • Block editor on mobile?

    When will the block editor in WordPress become smooth on mobile? Even if you can handle it well on desktop, it’s hard to work on it on mobile. And it doesn’t make any fun.

    • It doesn’t scroll the editor to always show the last line while typing “long” content.
    • Adding a new block via Enter scrolls the whole editor weirdly, but not as expected. (The same applies to switching to a different block by taping on it.)
    • You can’t scroll down enough to see the tags while typing into its field.
    • The preview drop-down is missing (and thus doesn’t allow for third-party previews, e.g. a Fediverse preview).

    All tested on the latest iOS. And this is only what I could find spontaneously.

  • Updated “Now” page

    After a little over two weeks, I could finally update my now page, since the last to-do, updating all of my plugins to make them officially compatible with WordPress 6.8, is done.

    Next up: plugin refactoring.
