Web dev based in Germany, working for a big company. I do a lot of side projects. Away from keyboard I'm sometimes busy with firefighting (Freiwillige Feuerwehr). I host most of my things and recently I buy a lot of old and new Audio CDs.

Last Notes npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki Update on my experience with Jolla Phone 2026 after 2 months: 1. Most of the bugs I experienced are fixed. Phone OS is stable now, bluetooth works just fine, in some ways it's better than iOS. 2. Android App Support is getting better every update. 3. Many "missing" UX patterns are now provided by community patches (and Sanefish bundles them all). 4. Even Android Auto is provided by community effort, which is insane when you think about it. 5. iPhone became a "backup phone" for long trips. npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki Did you notice how fashion kind of slowed down to near stop after 2010? Like difference between 80s, 90s and 00s was huge. Between 05 til now is not much. You could plant a random person from 2008 on a street of 2026 and no one would notice. npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki @nprofile…nzrw is the new Vine! https://loops.video/v/eBXUNf2Y4o npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki If you look for a better and privacy friendly TikTok alternative: here’s loops. With 2010 vibe. https://loops.video/v/hB3SPW0-Qe npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki IKEA knows how to please a man. Yesterday I bought those Home Assistant gizmos: thermometers, air quality sensors and 3 physical buttons sets. Now I'm setting up whole new automations, like playing stuff on speakers with buttons, changing light colors and so on. The best thing is they are pretty cheap, work with Matter and Thread, so no wifi bullshit. And they can be upgraded via HA without Ikea app. Good Ikea! npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki Codeberg is not a GitHub competitor. They are a German association that support projects they consider worth supporting. They have no obligation to sponsor your crypto project or vibe coded app. It’s no longer 2010s. Free stuff era is over. Now it’s either you host shit on your own, ask friend to host shit for you, pay for service or use big tech “free” service that uses you as a product. Forgejo exists and is free to self host. It’s not hard and federation incoming. npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki @nprofile…wkpv sent email to [email protected] and cloudflare abuse (NS records) npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki Ok, looking for a comparable static pages hosting to Cloudflare Pages, day 2. Finally found it. https://www.statichost.eu/ Whole set up took me literally 3 minutes. Big props. I'll use it on prod, with bunny.net in front though because I need it on root domain and once bunny.net takes over my DNS it will work little better with ANAME. @nprofile…cqnf did you consider adding some lower tier like 5€ a month (or pay as you want) for people who want to pay but 9€ is little to much? #buyeuropean npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki This is the time where I had to add a blocklist to my mastodon instance. npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki @[email protected] you host a nazi on your server? npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki @nprofile…872v you have an account there? They also show those ads for logged in users? npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki Everyone should go to truth social and experience it themselves. Like, there's one post of the "most important person in US", on his own portal, and then some ugly scam ad, then another post, and another scam ad. This is showing where USA and we all with them are now. https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki For those interested, org is already made on codeberg, welcome everyone to follow, I will make a PoC server repo there somewhere next days. npm uptime-check library from old agentslug.com is already migrated there and I'm working on modernising it to ESM and fetch. https://codeberg.org/agentslug npub1u5p8a3e8hc0a4kpk2r64s8ehlz0v7mz96y858hfxme7dkmzhdc4s7rhl2h Szymon Nowicki Self hosters: I'm thinking of reviving agentslug.com, this time it will be a federated self-hosted uptime checker. You host it, you participate in the network that pings others websites. There will be FOSS server code that provides UI and uptime-check mechanism. You ping your own websites but also request others in the network to ping them so you get bigger internet test coverage, including actual residential IPs that's, de facto, not possible in any commercial tool. #selfhosted #selfHosting
