Finally got to try out implementing the #Socketio / #Nodejs / #Express example Chat application. Built it with classic #jQuery (for now) and got it running on a local Raspberry Pi, including nginx reverse proxy. Still lots of details to take care of, but it's fun how fast you can build something useful - albeit insecure - in a couple of concentrated hours.

It's Easter today! We got some chocolate from my mom. I managed to stay away from eating chocolate for most of "lent". Not out of religious reasons, but mostly to limit my daily sugar intake. It actually helped to lose some fat.

Spotted the #Google #StreetView car in #Düsseldorf Stadtmitte today. About time the Google Maps pictures for Düsseldorf were updated as they are about ten years old currently and the town has changed a lot since then.

My favourite #radio station above all is #RadioParadise. Take a look at their playlist. What other radio station plays such amazing music all the time? https://radioparadise.com/player/info/30727/Supertramp-School

Walking through the #Düsseldorf Hofgarten when a #Pokemon event takes place feels like being part of a Black Mirror episode. Everyone is staring at their phones.

Gave up on integrating the #idnoTwitter plugin for my #Known site, even-though I solved the previous #issue with it after correctly setting the URL. For some reason, not shown in the error logs, my Web host does not seem to be able to send the oAuth connect requests. It fails with this error message "'Your Twitter credentials could not be saved." and the code ``0``, which means the *tmhOAuth* library could not connect to #Twitter 's API. Sticking with Brid.gy for now. Additionally, the tmhOAuth library does not seem very much maintained anymore. It's last release was in February 2013.

#Fixed the #issue on my #Known site where I had wrongly configured the ``url`` in the ``config.ini`` file.
My web server error is full of these useful and informative messages:

> Backend log: Known (social.johanbove.info): warning - Base URL has defaulted to "/" because Known was unable to detect your server name. This may be because you're loading Known via a script. Try setting url="http://yourdomain.com/" in your config.ini to remove this message\n, referer: https://social.johanbove.info/content/all/

Playing with #webbluetooth ; Following this #tutorial to connect a #web page to a #puckjs device and read and write commands to it with #javascript:

Got a #RaspBerry Pi 3 b+ today!
Finally got the device and I'm setting it up as a home #server. Going to set up #PuckJS and use it as a Bluetooth-to-internet gateway. Installed firstly Raspbian and got the ssh access working.
