Finally managed to get fibre (FTTP) and it is 1/3 cheaper than what we were paying Virgin Media. It feels like we stepped into the future. (note, we're waiting for the better router, to get to 2Gbps)

Been thinking of improving my setups. Any recommendations for:
1. offline backups (current options Backblaze personal backup, or B2 with `restic`)
2. NAS? is Synology still the thing to use? Got 2-3 home users max for this

It looks like I may need to look for a new phone, planned obsolence be damned! Got a OnePlus Nord *almost* 4 years ago. OnePlus didn't provide Android 13, so had to switch to Pixel Experience, then to LineageOS for Android 14. Pretty much all custom/AOSP ROMs dropped it :(

What is a solid phone these days, without being fancy, foldable, have giant screen etc, that won't need replacing in a couple of years time? And won't break the bank either? Should I go to with an iPhone? Choices, choices

First day of #WagtailSpaceNL sprints done. Great vibes and people. Had a lot of interesting chats and heard interesting real-world usage cases for #wagtail. Kudos to Four Digits for organising it!

Take care of your spine, fellow developers. Maintain a good posture, switch positions often (sit, stand, walk every 20 min or so). Work on your core strength and exercise aplenty. While it sounds like a lot, it isn't. And it surely beats the cost of the consequences for not doing so. It is as important as your mental health (and one may say, a precursor to it) #hugops

I think I'm ready to move my personal domain email off Google. What are the good options out there nowadays that don't cost an arm and a leg, and respect your privacy? Fastmail? Proton Mail?

First day back to work after a few weeks spent pretty much away from computers. It is true when they say you need two weeks to start resting. I think I will aim for one 3 week holiday a year, and more strategically placed breaks throughout. If I were a resolution-making person, this would be it. Take care of your wellbeing, folks ❤️

Never heard about it before, but it looks like https://github.com/beatonma/django-wm adds support for webmentions in Django, and it now works with Wagtail as well https://github.com/beatonma/django-wm/wiki/Wagtail, https://github.com/beatonma/django-wm/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md#400-2022-11-25.

Webmentions has been on my list for a while, so bookmarking
