Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I care about social inclusion & privacy. This is my personal Fediverse server, powered by ktistec. I modified its appearance with my own adjustments.

I typically remove shared posts after ca. 3–6 months. I do keep most of my own posts (for now).

I post about a variety of topics, both in German and English, such as:

I also developed a few tiny & simple self-hostable tools to ease my life (and that of others), such as:

You can find out more about myself on my website or in my introduction post.

What was supposed to be apple and pear crumble, does not really crumble all too well, but it tasted really good anyways! #vegan #baking #dessert

The new #spiritbox song #SoftSpine is freaking wild. I love their aggressive tune and massive shouts https://spiritbox.lnk.to/SoftSpineID #metal #metalcore

Two new changes in my Meta² Search Engine #serci:

1. Due to #MetaGer being forced to disable their advertisement financed gratis offering, the default search engine is now france-based #Qwant
2. Users are now able to choose an individual default search engine via a drop-down from all configured search engines. This will set a cookie in your browser.

So, if you (like me) want to continue using @metager@suma-ev.social via the paid tokens (or support them via a membership, which I would urge you to do), you can set it as your personal default search engine in serĉi again :)

Change-Logs for these two serĉi changes:

Today was time for #vegan quiche again! (and some salad ofc, not shown on the picture). It's quite easy, actually and perfect for meal prep. too! Tastes amazing directly from the oven, cold on the next day or heated again in a microwave oven.

On hot days, having the best #icecream in town is a pretty nice idea #vegan

#FediHelp does anyone know of a #FOSS android app or other type of service to check for unread mails in my inbox that honors a given time schedule (I.e. not on weekends, etc). Currently I am using #K9 / #Thunderbird for #Android, which unfortunately does not have that feature.

I am actually really happy about how my mobile-tweaks for #ktistec turned out. There was a lot of #CSS hacking involved, but I am pretty happy with the results :)

Here's a little video of how it looks:

Well, this was long overdue. A while ago already, I implemented "active menu entry marking" (the active menu item is highlighted) in my tweaks and scripts around #stagit via #javascript. This was the only JS in stagit-scripts.

Obviously, because it's all static files, this was not really necessary. So finally the active-entry marking is pre-processed now upon re-generating the #HTML files with fairly simple regex: https://src.jayvii.de/pub/stagit-scripts/commit/3a0908d57956db2c0ba114b6b9ea523aced694c0.html

Pretty unhappy with my #VPS host. I think I might migrate at least a few services to some other provider. A bunch of the services I've written for my own use cases could technically also be uploaded to some standard webhost. That might be cheaper (and I do not need to care about server maintenance). Just thinking loud here...
