I've been building an app for the past few days, and I'll be working with @andycarolan on its home screen icon. Very much looking forward to the result.

I know what I'll be recommending to all friends and family from now on. https://www.apple.com/macbook-neo/ #apple #macbookneo

There's a new wave of spam - all around the Fediverse. Please remember, there's no "Mastodon Moderation Team" sending out strange verification messages. That's all spam. #mastodon #fediverse #feditips #spam #cybersecurity

#claude is down. I suppose I'll think for myself now. (This is a joke)

Spent a few hours researching alternatives to #1password, due to their cost increase. For me, it boils down to three scenarios. a) Migrate to Bitwarden Cloud, save ~25 USD/year, but deal with migration hell b) Migrate to Bitwarden self-hosted through Vaultwarden, accept community risk, and lie […]

Iets dat me dwars blijft zitten omtrent het #odido #datalek: de publieke opinie mist technische nuance. Odido wordt uitgewrongen omdat er "plaintext wachtwoorden" buitgemaakt zouden zijn. Zelf claimen ze dat alle wachtwoorden versleuteld zijn. Beide kan waar zijn. Dit is waarom: 🧵

#1password hasn't been heading in a direction I really like, and that's a shame because I've been a paying customer since 2012. It's time to start looking elsewhere.

In the past half hour, two things happened that made me raise an eyebrow. The first: a developer, who uses Docker on both a dev and a prod server, asked me to install a huge number of dependencies (on the host) to test a workload. When I hesitated and suggested using a container instead, he […]

Just finished the last milestone before taking a new web server in production: The full recovery test after wiping the filesystem. Went without a hitch. ReaR is a very cool tool. Highly recommend for backing up & restoring bare-metal machines. It even fully restores software RAID configurations […]

Ran my first half-marathon this morning. Feeling very grateful. The training through winter, despite rain, cold, and snow, is really paying off. At this point, the mid-March race feels like a victory lap. Am craving a nap right now, though. https://strava.app.link/s7x9dYFkW0b #running

Does anyone have experience with Hostkey? Their prices are interesting. https://hostkey.com/dedicated-servers/netherlands/ #hostkey

OpenAI notified me of an upcoming change to its Privacy Policy. Apparently, they're soon going to ask to synchronize your contacts, so you can find your friends on OpenAI. I have mixed feelings about this. #OpenAI #chatgpt

For the past year I've been building out my website to better showcase my services, something I'd always avoided because most work came through word-of-mouth. The hardest part? Reaching out to former colleagues and clients to ask for testimonials. It felt uncomfortable, honestly. But seeing […]

I ran my first half-marathon today, or so I thought. The official distance is 21,0975km. I stopped at 21km. Felt pretty salty about that, but a significant milestone nonetheless.

My new dishwasher now has an IP address. I activated "smart features" out of curiosity, but aside from tracking statistics and remote start, they serve little purpose. I suspect they added an app mainly because market research showed that consumers desire apps, rather than because there is a […]

Did a sub-25 5k today. Quite proud of myself for that one. #running

Designing business cards the only way I know how: By developing them. Built a full SVG -> PDF pipeline in Node that converts PNG to CMYK, and renders print-ready documents to be sent to the print shop. The first demo print wasn't perfect, so currently working […] [Original post on toot.community]

Was greeted this morning by monitoring notifying me of crashing web containers throughout the night. Root cause: distributed /media_proxy flood where clients request the entire srcset attribute as a URL (%20 + ,%20https:/.../small%20...w). At peak: 23,298 unique IPs per 5 min + lots of 499/503 […]

Deze week heb ik een gratis websitescan gelanceerd voor freelancers en MKB’ers. De scan geeft je een objectieve momentopname van je website: snelheid, beveiliging, vindbaarheid en gebruiksgemak — inclusief concrete verbeterpunten. Je vindt ’m hier: https://jorijn.com/nl/gratis-sitescan/ […]

#n8n was pretty great at some point, but now all you get is a hollow shell of what it used to be, urging you to upgrade to a more expensive tier.

Had a little fun with my website. The logo always contained a compass, but I wanted to make it interactive for a while now. Finally found the time a few days back. It tracks your mouse movement on the desktop, and you can tap it to make it go weeeee. https://jorijn.com/en/

The nostalgia-truck hit me hard on this release a few days ago. https://blog.jquery.com/2026/01/17/jquery-4-0-0/ #jquery #webdevelopment

Routed cloud LB traffic externally to the Hetzner metal machines instead of through the configured vSwitch. HTTP traffic feels much snappier. The vSwitch hasn't been very stable in the past, unfortunately. #tootcommunity

This handsome fellow is celebrating his 14th birthday today. He's currently enjoying some wet food. #catsofmastodon #cats

I'm looking for a Garmin FIT file from someone who does a lot of #cycling, with or without a power meter. I'm building a tool that converts FIT files to LLM-friendly data for workout analysis. Please email them to [email protected] if you're willing to share, but be aware that if you recorded […]

This looks cool. #thenetherlands

I see toot.community, right there in the corner. https://mastodon.hetzner.social/@hetzner/115854022341239324 cc @hetzner

Only three more years of #trump. Let's hope he doesn't burn the world down in the meantime.

I reached the point where I thought the snow was cool and all, but now it's becoming inconvenient.

Attempted a short run today. Didn't feel great, with lots of frozen-up snow from the past few days. Got to take a few nice pictures, though. #running #snow #thenetherlands

@knmi ❄️

Kinda glad I'm working from home today. #snow #thenetherlands

Here's something I've been working on recently: A monitoring system for MeshCore that gathers metrics from your repeater and companion nodes, stores them in a SQLite database, and creates a static site with interactive charts. It offers views for day, week, month, and year of battery and radio […]

#caturday: A picture with the rare white stuff. ❄️

This mornings snowy run yielded some great pictures. A vary rare sight in The Netherlands nowadays. #running #snow

Well, either its doing the long run while its snowing, in daylight, or doing it this evening while its dark when the snow is presumably gone again. I suppose I'll try the snow then. #running

This morning, I had a "shower thought": I could adopt the 80/20 approach to my overall life in 2026—80% relaxed, 20% fully committed. I call this Polarized Living. Jokes aside: I should stress less. #running #newyearsresolution

Went to see Avatar 3 last night. What a great sequel. Very well done. #avatar3

Remember me saying I was staring down the #meshcore / #meshtastic rabbit hole? I set up a MeshCore repeater node with a small solar panel on our roof. My inner nerd craved stats, so I built a thing to extract them. Very fun and educational. https://meshcore.jorijn.com

The volume 2 trailer of #strangerthings dropped. Whoah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0Eo0D038rQ

#mcp and all is fun, but most providers aren't very token-optimized. They kill the entire conversation with the #ai in just one prompt due to a flood of tokens.

It went pretty well, despite being sick. Happy about the results. #running

Doing a 15K race today while struck by a cold. Wish me luck. #running

Staring down into the #meshtastic / #meshcore rabbit hole. Oh boy.

Just a little joke. #cloudflare

I spent a few days sick and noticed a flaw in the Daily Suggested Workouts algorithm by #garmin: When you're under the weather, but your HRV and sleep are still good, the algorithm continues to recommend intense workouts. This can worsen your condition since each hard workout can temporarily […]

Debating a challenge to start the new year: going the first 30 days without a smartphone, in an effort to reset my unhealthy patterns with my phone. The rules: a dumbphone for calling and perhaps a once-a-day sync with Garmin for running metrics. I can think of some impractical consequences […]

Another night spent playing with GatewayAPI. I preferred @cilium since I already use it in most places. However, this cluster where #tootcommunity runs is entirely IPv4-only. Turns out, if you send data to the IPv6 endpoint of an external LB, and that LB forwards the source IPv6 IP using PROXY […]
