ProblemI have written nearly 30 weeknotes so far and a recurring section in all weeknotes is the “Link Roundup” where I share interesting links I came across that week (aka Link Dumps). The process of manually fetching the title and author/site name for each link and typing the Markdown link syntax [Title | Author...

Signing Git CommitsGetting a verified lock icon for my signed Git commits took longer than expected! It’s all set up now in the end via SSH keys (and not GPG keys). GPG Didn’t WorkDuring my email migration from Tuta to Mailbox.org, I started getting the hang of the idea of GPG keys. So I tried to start using it to...

In Progress I’m officially migrating over from Tuta to Mailbox.org! I’ve paid for a year of the Standard tier (€30 annually). Hope the experience will be an upgrade from Tuta. It took roughly 18 hours for the new DNS rules to propagate for my custom domain to work at Mailbox.org (patience is key!) I’ve already...

Kev is the creator of #100DaysToOffload in case you didn’t know. 😉 [For up-to-date content, visit BurgeonLab directly (XML feeds don't fetch updates in real-time). For...

Weeknotes is back! Was busy and got bogged down by life in general last week, which meant I had to skip a week… Hope everyone is doing well. Completed Finally caught up with my /⁠changelog page. I haven’t updated it since February as I was busy working on the redesign branch; which I haven’t touched for two months!...

Skipped Weeknote and Mac Disk CorruptionI’m feeling poorly myself for the past week (have an appointment tomorrow with the doctor), so unfortunately my weeknote for 2026-W18 will be cancelled. Not only am I not feeling well, my Mac Mini is also acting up, reporting that the primary data volume is corrupt and needs...

About Feather Wiki I discovered Feather Wiki indirectly via fellow blogger, Jack Baty. He uses many different tools for his multiple blogs; and for one of them he uses TiddlyWiki, which is a feature-rich “non-linear personal web notebook”. Inspired by TiddlyWiki, Feather Wiki is a lightweight alternative built from...

Adding Features to Open Source ProjectsEver since setting up Indiekit for adding Micropub capabilities to my Hugo blog, I have only used its web UI to post notes, photos, and likes (haven’t tried other clients yet).

In the past, when I have code snippets / code blocks present in the post, I will make comments inside the code. This results in an utter mess of code + comments mixed together (I can’t...

Inspired at IndieWebCampLast weekend was an absolute blast! I attended my first ever IndieWebCamp remotely, held at Düsseldorf. For those who are not familiar with it, it’s a two-day in person BarCamp (aka unconference) where anyone interested in independent, personal websites (i.e. IndieWeb) meet to share ideas, be...
