I've reached the point again where I'm coding my own CMS. It's a cycle, last time must've been 10+ years ago though.

This time though, it's gonna be the best! Of course. Totally not a project that will end up collecting dust.

Anybody else sometimes end up in this cycle?

We moeten het even hebben over de A in LGBTIAP+. De A staat voor aseksueel en wmb ook voor aromantisch. Kort gezegd: aro/ace. Deze letter wordt nog te vaak overgeslagen en over het hoofd gezien. Zelf zit ik op het aseksuele spectrum. Dwz dat ik eerst een emotionele band met iemand moet voelen voor >

For the narrow gauge railway lovers. Have a tiny railway with the smallest turntable ever!

This is at a sawmill in Deurne, The Netherlands.

@islandsandtrains.bsky.social Hi. What's the best way to report a bug? When I started the game I got 3 achievements already. I assume the menu is secretly a loaded map and thus it triggered the achievements 😅

I love self-sufficiency & energy generation. I also love traditional Dutch windmills.

YouTube has now decided that means I love small wind turbines.

I don't. They're horribly inefficient. But there's so many 'inventors' who claim they're amazing without providing numbers it hurts. 😭

@adriaan.games I assume not but worth a shot: Will the Hidden Folks t-shirts ever be available again?

I found out a few weeks ago there was a corgi meetup near us. Their meeting point was near a restaurant with a lovely outside patio.

So of course we had lunch there at the exact time of the corgi meetup. Just looking at 20+ corgi's. I had the best day.

@cyd.social Any place we could talk? I went into debugging a bit. a[data-testid=\"AppTabBar_Profile_Link\"] doesn't exist for me. I think I might have a new X interface that others don't have yet.

@cyd.social Seems like the app just broke. It's stuck on 'I'm discovering your username'.

My new #selfhosting blog is up! In this one I setup access to one of my containers from the outside with Caddy!

We setup a http server, our domain, SSL, and make it all work smoothly. However... we also go into the dangers of doing this!

Switch to a new ISP is complete, so I'm back to writing blog posts about my #homeserver

Expecting to finish the next blog this week. I'll talk about networking! From exposing services to a private VPN.

Missed the first blogs? Here they are: thomasto.space/category/sel...

The difference between weather lessons for windmills & watermills is hilarious to me. For windmills you have multiple hours of lessons.

For watermills: When the water is frozen, don't run the mill since you'll remove the water below the ice from upstream and ice skaters may die.

Simple enough ⛸️

My #osm based mill database resulted in the first changes back to #OpenStreetMap ! I found all the windturbines by their tags, and went through them to remove man_made:windmill from them.

Went from 7 edits to 363 edits in about half an hour. Would call that a success!

Completed the map for my #osm based mill database.

I can now easily browse a map of all wind- & watermills and see some basic details. I can also filter on a few things.

This weekend I was at the windmill and there was a ton of wind! So it was milling time. Since it's a post mill, this also means it's almost like standing on a boat. The whole mill will shake!

Time for another self-hosting blog: I install Docker & Portainer to manage all applications inside containers on my #homeserver.

And of course, we automate updates again, so we can keep being lazy!
