The bsky-docker script

Intro bsky-docker is a Docker image of a simple Perl script that extracts an alphabetically sorted list of URLs from a Bluesky timeline and author feeds. I did it mainly for use in conjunction with archive.pl. Requirements Perl’s Bluesky module requires Perl 5.40.0 at least. Preferably, use the script through the Docker container: $ docker pull archaeopath/bsky-docker:latest Usage As standalone:...

Updating a Tiny Tiny RSS install behind a reverse proxy

I had a hard time when trying to update my Tiny Tiny RSS instance running as Docker container behind Nginx as reverse proxy. I experienced a lot of nasty 502 errors because the container did not return proper data to Nginx. I fixed it in the following manner: First I deleted all the containers and images. I did it with...

WP Tournament Registration v1.3.0 released

Only a small bugfix because E-mail notification when new participantts register did not work. Now fixed! Remark that I had to fix the docs, too. The E-mail field does not expect an address but a comma-separated list of WordPress user names and fetches the addy from the datbase. Head over to project site!

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.

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...
