Preserving and passing on knowledge is the foundation of every civilisation. If we stop writing down what we have learned, we have to start from scratch every time. Books and records are the memory of mankind.
Set up a Raspberry Pi, installed Pi-hole – and then went ahead and activated it as a DNS server. What sounds like less advertising and more control in theory turned out to be a bit wobblier than expected in practice. Apple TV services went offline, updates crawled, and today the Pi wasn't reachable over Wi-Fi at all. It's now running on a LAN cable – and I'm watching how it goes.
I wasn't entirely happy with SSI – testing locally was cumbersome. So I let Claude Code handle the tedious work: resolving SSI directives, converting absolute paths to relative ones and maintaining the navigation. The result was correct right away and I can now preview my pages locally in the browser. Perhaps the best compromise between control and automation.
Over the past few years my website has been rather static. There were only a few pages and hardly any new content. Like so many others I had become more of a consumer, rarely putting any content on the web myself. But sometimes there are experiences I want to share. My own thoughts, my opinions or simply insights that have helped me move forward.
