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.

I did some basic explanations and screenshot-showcase of my new bookmarking / note taking #PHP web application #rememori: https://src.jayvii.de/pub/rememori/index.html#features

Suggestions for new features (and coding style...) are very appreciated!

#Fennec #FDroid has not been updated in months and apparently has known vulnerabilities. So which webbrowser are #privacy contious #Android users using these days? There is always #Mull & #Mulch from #DivestOS, I suppose. #Firefox

Been working on a simple bookmarking client ("rememori") completely written in #PHP, without any data base in the back, but instead based on simple .txt files.

The features include (for now):

1. tagging (only one per note),
2. a simple search through all your notes,
3. automatic title-fetching for URL-notes,
4. a simple API endpoint for programmatically adding new notes (I imported all my linkding bookmarks via three lines in bash and #curl),
5. #RSS feeds for individual categories (so you can use it as read-it-later application together with an RSS reader

As my #selhosted (and often self-written) tiny webservices start to mount in numbers, I fell the need to setup a small link-tree style landing page, listing all of them, rather than putting them up somewhere on my "normal" website: https://jayvii.de

Easy enough with static website generators like #hugo (which I use for all static sites anyways)

And finally came around reworking #yt2html as well in lieu to https://social.jayvii.de/objects/ceSWAqOpqTk

It's full #PHP now, rather than the weird hack of PHP running an #rstats script in the background.

Reworked my tiny #tw2html webtool that let's me check and "follow" streams on #Twitch. Checking is now done client-side via #JavaScript instead of the much slower server-side #PHP procedure. The new procedure checks 30 streams in well under 1 second.

Feel free to try it out here: https://twitch.jayvii.de/

Whoops, looks like #GNOME's website is down. Same to extensions.gnome.org where a 504 error turns up. Any infos on that? Does not look like maintenance

On yesterday's #serci Update post (https://social.jayvii.de/objects/MVKQo4c6huo), today I finished a massive overhaul of the web-frontend for this Meta² search engine.

Besides looking a lot slicker, it should be a lot easier to understand for new users now. The list of search engines can now be searched and filtered and your personal default search engine can be chosen easily with a single click! I also added descriptions for each search engine, to make the list easier to browse and understand.

Feel free to try it yourself! https://search.jayvii.de

Oh, and the re-factoring increased performance by 33%! Searching on average takes 0.12s before redirect (same as before), but loading the web-frontend takes only 0.18s instead of 0.28s now. Really happy with how it turned out. Still: any suggestions are more than welcome!

I have been adding quite a few more search engines to #serci today, including #Fireball, #SearX/#SearXng, #eTools, #TigerCH, #WolframAlpha and #DBLP today.  All new additions are already live at https://search.jayvii.de.

With 64 search engines in the default configuration, I feel like the webfrontend has to present all the options in a better way. But I am really out of ideas on what that could look like... Suggestions are very welcome! #webdev #php #foss #search

Finally came around to write a very short post about the #HelixEditor scripts I wrote earlier this year for sending code to a REPL: https://www.jayvii.de/posts/helix-term/ #helix #neovim #rstats
