I finally got my self-hosting instance of Ente.io running smoothly on TrueNAS SCALE, even with an embarrassing configuration mistake. 🥲🎉
Now let’s test if it’s better than Immich.

Fragment Caching
I just played a little bit with fragment caching. First downside: since you cannot filter
locate_template, you can’t cache complete templates.Aside of that, my proof of concept worked so far, but in the end you need to consider too many edge cases, which already has blown this POC. So I think, I stop this. At least for WordPress.

Unpopular opinion: I would love to have a smart oven with camera, which I can check and maybe switch off while walking the dog. 🥹

I already thought about using this #WordPress instance, which is connected via #ActivityPub, with “Enable Mastodon App” by @alex, and since he wrote about it today (https://alex.kirk.at/2025/04/24/wordpress-as-a-refuge-from-algorithms/) I took the chance and installed it!
Thank you for your work, Alex! ❤️

First contribution for ActivityPub
I recently discovered a bug in combination of ActivityPub and Multisite Language Switcher. Yesterday, I found the time to check what’s the actual problem and after great guidance from @obenland@mastodon.social I could fix it and it’s already part of the new version 5.8.0, which came out today. 🎉
This way, contributing is really fun. 🥰

Accidentally created a new WordPress plugin
I accidentally created a new plugin to manage Composer packages via WordPress. Oopsy. 😅

Tried to disable Apple Intelligence
Since Apple Intelligence is now also available in Germany, I directly tried to disable it. Turns out: my iPhone is not even supported. 😂

Working on Form Block Pro
Still had enough energy and motivation to work on the latest feature for Form Block Pro: repeater fields. Now, only server-side validation is missing and the new version is finally ready to ship. 🎉

Data recovery needed
Turns out: Deleting MySQL databases on a test server, which is replicated from AND to the main server, is not good …
At least I created a backup directly before.

Welcome to Seafile 12
Just updated my Seafile cloud server to version 12.0.10. Even though running it with Docker, it’s always a bit of a gamble if it works quite fine.
Had to adjust different configurations, check the logs (via
docker-compose logs -f) to see that my external MySQL 8 server doesn’t seem to be supported anymore, since I had to adjust some migration SQL queries to remove theIF NOT EXISTSfrom statements likeADD COLUMN.In the end, it eventually worked, though. 🙂
