Today, I migrated my read-later list (and archived links) from Wallabag to Karakeep.
I self-host both of these applications on my Synology DS224+ NAS.
It turned out, that migrating the links from Wallabag to Karakeep is not as straight-forward as …

Migrating from Wallabag to Karakeep
Notes
Decided to give Karakeep a try after previously using Wallabag. Seems that it’s not possible to just export-import the links between these apps. Likely some json to html is needed. #selfhosting

I see Ghost 6.0 has been launched, with highly anticipated ActivityPub support.
I need to have a closer look at Ghost yet again.
In any case, a big achievement - congrats to the whole team at Ghost.

Spent the last night in tent. Being a somewhat restless sleeper, finally found a sleeping pad that I can fall asleep and sleep comfortably on.
Time to start planning some overnight hiking route now that sleeping stuff is under control.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to use payment cards in either of those ROM’s? I have some cards …

Mozilla is shutting down Pocket.
Pocket was the first read-it-later / bookmarking app I used. Many have come and gone since then.
Pocket has helped millions save articles and discover stories worth reading. But the way people use the web has …
Notes
After a few years, giving micro.blog another try. Ghost CMS is too heavy for my use case and I don’t want to manage my own server as I have done so far.
Still working on getting things set up before finally setting up my custom domain pointing here.

Once again, I’m considering if I should entirely change my personal tech stack, both in terms of hardware and software.
This is a thought that I tend to revisit often. Actually following through, not so often.

I got the local development setup for Ghost working after some difficulties. I have already made some changes to the theme, uploaded the edited theme in this instance and set everything to GitHub.
I feel like a proper developer. 😃

Back on Ghost CMS
It took a few weeks after I remembered why I don’t like Wordpress. That being said, I’m back on Ghost CMS.
First, Wordpress, it’s too big (for me). I have had to use it previously for work. I didn’t like it then, don’t like it now. It just feels …

Getting Rasperry Pi 4 B to boot from an SSD in USB 3.0 port
Finally got it working. There were quite a few issues along the way but the main revelation came when I noticed that I was able to boot from an USB 2.0 port after all. This helped narrow down the issue and eventually led to a fix that allowed me to …
