I know you like Ghost CMS, the best open-source publishing software for independent content creators. I have a good news for you:

I built a very fast yet very affordable fully managed Ghost hosting service, synapsmedia.com Give it a try, its free for 14 days!
Synaps Media
Start your website in minutes with the power of Ghost CMS
synapsmedia.com
I like to use my Ghost site as my main ActivityPub account but sharing my handle with public was a little hassle. I made a simple tool to create a public profile page for Ghost Social Web (ActivityPub) accounts: ghostverse.link

Self-hosting is great as a hobby. But if your goal is to publish, not maintain servers, there’s no reason to run your own blog.

Thanks to Synaps Media clients, I learned about many anonymous email services. I was surprised and glad to see how widely they’re used. I have a very conscious customer base. 😊

I'm very content to provide hosted DNS server for Synaps Media customers. It increases the overall performance and experience a lot. By improving it more in time, I think it will be an important part of the service.

Junior: Just laptop
Mid: 1 external
Senior: 1 curved + 2 flat
Architect: Nothing but the displays on the desk
How many displays are enough to be a good developer?
I think everyone knows that you are not senior enough if you have less than 3 displays on your desk, right?

I always wanted to use my own blog for micro blogging as well in addition to long-form posts. Ghost's latest Social Web is a step forward to reach that point. And here a simple component that I made to embed your notes to your website. muratcorlu.com/adding-ghost...
Adding Ghost Social Web notes to your website
Starting from Ghost 6, we have "Notes" in addition to posts. Here is a way to show them in your website for public visitors

Don't [...spread] or .split() your strings!

Use Intl.Segmenter API. Available in every JS runtime

Status pages everywhere show green, because Statuspage.io is ALSO down: customers cannot log in to update their status page and indicate the outage their eng teams know about!!

So a fail for Statuspage to depend on an AWS region... or DynamoDB (that seems to depend one AWS region?)

i think migrating away from Vercel hosting is a solid idea. i moved my Next.js blog to Cloudflare (for free) and have been very happy with that

with Next.js 16+ committing to deployment adapters (and Vercel adapter using the same API), we should hold their feet to the fire on the ease of migration

I don't use Vercel but had an account from years ago for my side projects. It's a nice day to cleanup the things.

Great to hear happy customer stories. A nice article about moving to Ghost with @synapsmedia.com. 😊

Did you know that on macOS, you can update just to Safari 26, while remaining on macOS 15 Sequoia or even macOS 14 Sonoma?

Go to  > System Settings > General > Software Update. Under “Also Available” you’ll find Safari listed. Click “Update Now”.

The feature I was waiting for since years arrived DuckDuckGo: Blocking sites from search results. This will give extra peace of mind to my life for sure!
