Intro Wow, it’s been quite some time since I posted on my blog. Some stuff happened, and I’ll try to find time to write about it in the coming days. But right now, in the spirit of end-of-the-year cleaning (is that a thing?), I decided to spend some time to reduce some of my subscriptions. I won’t go into the details of the other services I’ve axed, but this post is focused on my personal Mastodon instance.

As the title said, I finally have search enabled. Yay! Super simple - just followed instructions at https://hugoloveit.com/theme-documentation-basics/#5-search. But this is reliant on the LoveIt theme.

Alright, kind of a pun title. I’m on a family trip to Malacca, Malaysia. Drove up on Sunday, will head home on THursday. I’ll try to share another update on the trip later (maybe after the trip, and will share some photos I took, too).

And by taking photos, I don’t mean with my iPhone (because I constantly take photos with that); I mean with a “real” old school camera.

Intro I wrote two days ago about moving FediFetcher over to my own infrastructure (away from GitHub Actions and over to my Synology NAS at home). Since it has been going well, I decided to do the same with GetMoarFediverse. (I’ll still rely on the remote FakeRelay service as detailed in this post, at least for the time being.) Set Up Getting this onto my Synology is actually pretty darn easy,
