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.

As is often the case, @pluralistic is right: the corporate web is unbearable and RSS really is the only way to make news reading work.

Get an RSS reader and/or a read-it-later application. Make use of tools like morss and use aggressive adblock settings everywhere else.

Why is it, that every other #nextcloud update, i have to go through all apps/addons again because half of them were not enabled again after upgrading?

My never ending quest to redefine my news reading habits have fallen back to old school newspaper reading, but with a twist!

Using a pretty cool RSS aggregator that writes into templates of arbitrary formats in combination with some RegEx foo and a full-page scraper, I am now able to read "newspaper" every morning either on the phone, PC or ebook reader and be done with it for the rest of the day.

I realised that I fall into the habit of checking news constantly, even when using classic RSS readers for it. During my test-flights in the past week, this hacky project appears to work-for-me(TM)

Sarkastischer Kommentar zur Teilzeitdebatte der Union

Bzgl des fast schon menschenfeindlichen & realitätsfernen Vorstoß der sog. Mittelstands- & Wirtschaftsunion zur Abschaffung des Rechts auf Teilzeit: dann aber wenigstens auch in beide Richtungen, da freut sich der akademische Mittelbau an deutschen Universitäten, wenn 50% & 65% Stellen zukünftig auf 100% augestockt werden müssten.

Because I have been reading discussions lately about blocking shared posts and sharing/boosting etiquettes in the fediverse, I turned off all shared/boosted posts from others today. Surprisingly, my timeline became a lot more interesting, and now I am doubting the sense of sharing posts and social media in general...

Whoops, #youtube appears to be shutting down their #RSS endpoints for channels' uploads
