El Mixtape was originally meant to be shared monthly, but as life gets busy and (once again) has to be post-poned, I notice it turns more personal, natural, and I’m hopping, polished. I like the idea of a switch from monthly to “when is ready”

You know what really grinds my gears? Having to train AIs by solving captchas to log into basically every web service these days…

Having lived in one of the warmest regions of Colombia all my life and now approaching my first autumn in Europe, wearing coats is something new for me, but as I get used to the extra pockets, I realize that now I can carry my whole CD collection with me by plugging a pair of good headphones and a DAC to my old and reliable iPhone SE.

Not that this kind of setup wasn’t possible before or that it’s really necessary (since any streaming service does the job just fine), it’s just that high quality audio on-the-go on an iPhone has always required an ugly dongle fest…

If autumn brings the pockets, I might as well use them 🤷🏽‍♂️

Hetzner understandably increasing their prices has led me to give up on my dedicated server and migrate to a cheaper VPS option. Among the services I had to move was Wiktoria’s blog. There were no issues really, other than the hassle of setting up a MySQL server exclusively for Wordpress. I wish it was as simple as it was to move my website: Copy, paste & GoBlog…

Haven’t found the time to give the new Porcupine Tree album a listen but just recalled that time I thought I could “rank their records” 😂

One of the reasons I didn’t add a Listens section earlier was Jekyll was taking too much to generate all the pages in my website, adding the scrobbles would’ve made it unbearable. So what I started doing was manually filtering through the listens and highlighting the best albums, if they’re worth listening to, they deserve a post, right?

I think to be able to browse your Listens by artist, see your top tracks by that artist and then all the albums, would be amazing. But if you listen to a lot of music this approach would probably deserve its own website I guess.

Oh and the deleted post is actually the same post with a correct URL. I recently switched to Jan-Lukas’ GoBlog and it seems I hadn’t setup the correct URL path for notes.

I think there’s value in Likes. For me they’re just a way to let the author know I enjoyed their post. In my case they’re not mean to be public so I keep them unlisted.

Inspired by your Listens I added a similar section on my website, but it gets one post per month or whenever I mark a song as “Loved” on my music player.

As for TV Shows Watches, it might be a good idea to post only about completed seasons?

Just got my first ever Pull request (for a translation 😅) accepted on GitHub!

Never posted much on Twitter but this is a huge argument to finally getting rid of it. It’s been a while since I even logged in. I do follow my Timeline via RSS and Brid.gy does its thing crossposting… but with these numbers it’s like shouting into a void.

All you need is GoBlog.

Loving the improvements, Jan-Lukas. I have already imported my Notes and Articles into my instance, knowing that eventually GoBlog will be my home.

Before reaching out to you I wrote an article on how there’s no easy to install IndieWeb-ready blogging system, but there is, so I had to scrap it. Thank you for discouraging my blogging 🙃

Sonic Boom releasing a new album in collaboration with Panda Bear is the news of the day!
