Web developer and Studio Lead at Deloitte Digital in Düsseldorf, Germany.

We wrote our letters to Santa yesterday and really deserved a cup of hot coco afterwards .

The European Digital Identity project has just saved me by giving me access to my Belgian financial data as a Belgian living in Germany.

It's like I can either keep notes digitally or keep them in my paper notebook - it's hard doing both and I'm more often at the computer, so I am lagging behind in my #BulletJournal. Perhaps I simply don't have enough space on my little desk for the notebook and to comfortably write. Needing to move the keyboard aside is too much of a hassle. Digital text files don't take up physical space. Or perhaps I am just lazy.

Sharing the Earthstar Encryption Project again.

Contemplating "Automated post deletion" on #mastodon. What are the pros and cons of using this?

Our son achieved Seahorse level swimming today. So proud of him!

At the moment the Mastodon instance at indieweb.social is struggling to keep up with the network surge. I still have my own site here however where I am writing this post on. Chugging along the #Indieweb stream - Don't forget that using your own site for posting to Mastodon and the Fediverse is totally fine and actually promoted. It's called #POSSE

https://indieweb.org/POSSE

So this is a post to see if it will show up on Mastodon.

@social.johanbove.info Yeah, this seems to be working. Good to see it even works on a sub domain like where I keep my Known CMS site.

Hello fed.brid.gy

Testing out https://fed.brid.gy/ for the Win!

Following the instructions to get this post to show up... lalala

I have my Mastodon account here: https://indieweb.social/@johanbove - but I want this to also show through Bridgy Fed.

A bit annoying how "installed" web apps through #Firefox seem to disappear without notice on #android. Not super great for #pwa s

@johanbove Yeah the PWA experience on #Android using #Firefox is not great 😭
For #Mastodon I had to install the #PWA via #GoogleChrome for a smoother experience. The only downside is that links open on Chrome and not Firefox 😔 android firefox googlechrome mastodon pwa

@johanbove Yeah #Firefox pwa on mobile has been super buggy for me for as long as I can remember. On several devices. And no pwa support on desktop has made me switch to Brave for all of my pwa needs. Which is annoying since i have to manually copy every link i want to open and paste it in Firefox.. here's to hoping #Mozilla sorts this out.
Side note, kind of: If you want to vote for Mozilla to add back desktop pwa then you can:

@johanbove it's weird, Firefox used to be at the forefront of PWAs and then they all but abandoned them.

@ricard @johanbove try Heimdall Lite Apps Browser

Maine coon cats are really sweet

It's time we really show Russia we mean it - this inhuman invasion has to end! Now their evil rockets have crossed an actual red line by exploding in nearby Poland. Russian rockets hit a NATO member state and they caused civilian casualties. How many people need to suffer before we actually put a stop to this madness?! And why do we keep "tolerating" their evilness?!

#yunohosttip Hello fellow #Yunohost users, the "Yunohost menu button" in the bottom right of the apps installed on your instance can be moved around if it gets in your way. Which it does a bit when I edit calendar entries in the Nextcloud UI.

Let's take a moment to appreciate that #Yunohost and any personal web project requiring a secure encrypted connection would not have been so easy and would not have been completely free without Let's Encrypt. #letsencrypt

Going to try to set up Pleroma on our Raspberry Pi as my first entry to the Fediverse - Let's see how that will go.

Ooh, new Plaid album released today. only 38 minutes, but pretty eartastic https://deezer.page.link/XLk8FTQzz3J3uwCo9

@johanbove Yes! Thanks for the heads up!

Sites like Instagram and Reddit, which are hiding content after teasing access to the content a bit, are really only doing it for the monetization of your content and your profile data. Post on Mastodon or on your own website and you decide yourself who gets to see your contributions.

Seems like I've been supporting Akismet with $12 a year for the last two years without actually having the service active on any of my sites. Glad to support them anyway.

Seriously, can anyone actually make sensible use of the OneDrive picture Web interface? I have been trying to download a picture from 2016 for about ten minutes now. It keeps reloading and actually crashing... WTH

November 2022 - thanks to a megalomaniac's insane ruling, the Fediverse is finally becoming mainstream!
