Is self-hosting for everybody?
Tuesday, June 6, 2023
Self-hosting is great: you control the server, the software & your data. That’s all. Or not? I think there is a lot understimation about the drawbacks related to self-hosting. I self-hosted Wordpress for several years and during that time I had some issues while upgrading it, also theme and plugin conflicts where always behind the corner. Wordpress is a great piece of sofware and very versatile. It is easily customizable, but this can also be a problem once we talk about compatibility.

Luckily there is not only Mastodon. I really like that there are different fediverse softwares like Calckey, Pixelfed, Soapbox, Akkoma & Takahe. You can try all of them and pick up the one you like the most. 💛

Before starting to walk let me take a shot.
Doing some digital decluttering recently. I removed some apps & services from my daily routine. Next step is concentrating more on (micro)blogging.

Lately on the fediverse there was a lot of debate about the decision that the official Mastodon app will indicate mastodon.social as the primary instance. I really do not like such approach which is the opposite of decentralization. 🤖
Just updated my about page. 😉

Inspired by Manton blog post I’ve done a recap of the countries I’ve visited over the years. Italy Switzerland France Austria Germany Netherlands Spain Greece United Kingdom San Marino Republic Vatican State Principality of Monaco Principality of Seborga (that’s the only unrecognised micronation I’ve visited so far 😉)
It’s Republic Day! 🇮🇹

The attempt to mix shopping and entertainment all together is a little scary from my point of view. Users will buy a lot of useless things that will definitely go to the trash in a short amount of time. That’s the opposite from what we should do if we look at it from a green perspective.

Why I prefer To-Do lists
Sunday, May 28, 2023
Over the years I’ve tried several note taking apps and after using them I came to conclusion that many are overcomplicated for my personal needs. All I need in my daily routine is a short list of things I have to do (or to remember). I believe Personal Knowledge Management (PKM) can be useful for some people, but not for me (at least not in this moment). Simplicity is all I need, so a smart To-Do list is perfectly fine.
