Setting up Twitter-like lists on Bluesky

Twitter-like Bluesky is still at beta test stage at the time being. Some features we were used to on Twitter are still lacking. Amongst others there is no straight implementation of lists. Nevertheless, setting up lists is possible on Bluesky but it is stil somewhat cumbersome. In this post I am going to show you, how? On the contrary maintaining...

Soziales Netzwerk „Ello“ abgeschaltet

Erinnert sich noch jemand an das soziale Netzwerk Ello? 2014, als Facebook versuchte, eine Klarnamenpflicht einzuführen, wechselten viele FB-Nutzer dorthin. Bis dahin war es ein werbefreies Netzwerk für Grafiker und Fotografen gewesen. Eine Art Pinterest, nur mit besserem Content. Nach einigen Monaten flaute der Hype wieder ab, und Ello fiel in seine ursprüngliche Nische zurück. Er gibt bis heute nicht...

Configuring Friendica with Redis

I cannot remember exactly why I chose Friendica when I wanted to take a look on the Fediverse years ago but very likely it was because it is written in PHP which I have considerable skills of. I wasn’t familiar with Docker containers at that time. So I ended up with a bare metal instance which I started to use...

Lessons learned from recent server and website updates

Content-Security-Policy Regarding the CSP header, the prefetch-src entry is deprecated and should be removed. More at Mozilla! Nginx and HTTP/3 The Nginx version in Ubuntu 22.04 is pretty old (1.18) and has reached EOL yet. For receiving newer releases one must add the Nginx repository from nginx.org to the package manager and remove the old install. Nginx distinguishes a stable...

Sieg im Vereinsturnier des ESV Rot-Weiß Göttingen 2023

Auch wenn ich im Vereinsturnier 2023 an dritter Stelle der Setzliste firmierte, habe ich eigentlich nicht damit gerechnet, es zum drittenmal nach 2012 und 2016 gewinnen zu können, weil es deutlich stärker besetzt war als frühere Auflagen. Doch es klappte – wenn auch nur haarscharf. Der Modus (90 Minuten sudden death) macht bei ausgekämpften Partien Zeitnotphasen mit heftigen Patzern ziemlich...

Gewinn der nordhessischen Bezirkseinzelmeisterschaft 2022

Als Niedersachse außer Konkurrenz nahm ich an der Bezirkseinzelmeisterschaft von Nordhessen 2022 in Hofgeismar teil. Dort hat man jetzt ein toughes Regiment mit fünf Runden an zwei Tagen. Am ersten tag lief es ganz schlecht. In der ersten Runde gegen Norbert Niemeyer (Mündener SC) stand ich trotz des großen Spielstärkeunterschieds nur im letzten Zug auf Gewinn. Frank Liebert (SK Bad...

Running Java Applets and Flash Videos in Current Browsers

One of the great successes of the early years of ingram-braun.net was the Chess Replay Utilities Synopsis which provided an overview over all then available chess game viewers ready for embedding in websites. Most of the projects enlisted there are now defunct. However, my demo pages are still there. Even of those viewers that were carried out as Java Applet...
