Reality became a set for the virtual world
It is a sunny day here in Lisbon, I am walking by the central station and hear a street musician. Actually, it is a special kind of musician: The guy is a rapper.

He brought his speaker, a microphone and is performing in front of a small crowd. It is a melodic mix between spoken words and singing, he quite hits my taste. 

I stop and join the audience, to l

Don’t plan your life in Excel
Do you have plans how your life should look like. Laid out all nicely step-by-step in a huge-ass Excel spreadsheet? This is not how life works, or how it should work.

Remember back, a year, ten years or all the way back to your childhood. How do your memories look like? Are they in a clear this-happened-after-that timeline? Do the decisions, you did take to take you where you are

You are the leader, act like it
If there is one thing everyone hates, it is a leader who claims to be still "one of the pack". Is that you? If yes, you have to stop doing this. Now. I mean it. You need to accept this one important truth: Your times as part of the pack are over.

And don't get me wrong, I don't mean: Be a mean Steve Job/Elon Musk kinda girl now putting other people down. No. You can, and should!, b

@simeon I acutally use headspace lately. Quite relaxing.

For finding quirky things on the web I did built I tiny side a few years back :D

@nathan @admin Seems to be a broken fork of my plugin, which you can find on https://wordpress.org/plugins/autopost-to-mastodon/

@jwkicklighter Would shut it down end of May if no-one wants to take it

@simeon Per week I currently spend roughly 5 mins on approving new users. But the instance would really benefit from more love and energy, that I am currently not able to give.

@leroy @simeon @tmvst @jwkicklighter Right now I spend <5mins per week on this instance. But that is also why it basically is not active. I plan to move my account to a bigger instance. Want to stop having my own instance as it takes mental space I currently don't have.

@jwkicklighter would say 7 :D

@simeon @tmvst @jwkicklighter @leroy I plan to discontinue indiehackers.social. Would any of you want to take it over? Can hand over the domain for free, and the hosting currently is about 10€/month via masto.host

Zucker macht krank. Gibt es eine Heilung? - Der Glukose Trick von Jessie Inchauspé

=> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp_lHi-PvkU <=

Zucker hat alle Merkmale einer Droge, die wir in unsere Gesellschaft ansonsten verbieten: Man braucht immer mehr, hat Entzugserscheinung und trägt körperliche Schäden davon. Doch auf der anderen Seite ist Glukose, die elementarste Form des Zuckers, der wichtigstes (und einzige) Energielieferant in u...

@schreiblehrling @crossgolf_rebel Was weiß ich? Sorry sieht so aus als wäre die initiale nachricht private?

@tim @aleflavio But actually you have a valid point with the wordpress hashtag. Did not have that in mind that it might spam this tag. Will adapt that it does not use a hashtag anymore.

@tim @aleflavio Hey Tim. This is not spamming anything, but the users actively sending a "test post". Nothing that the plugin does automatically.

For my talk at the #gopher #meetup this wednesday (22.3.2023) in #berlin I tried to hack the #kubernetes networking and spy on all traffic in the cluster...found a way on how to passively monitor all traffic.
Wanna know how?

I've mentioned being interested in building a hashtag-based Mastodon relay (kudos to @drazi for the idea), but it looks like https://relay.fedi.buzz already does this?

Anyone tried this yet, or interested to?

@leroy How do you decide if it is time for "something fancy"?

What are you using to build a landing page for your tech startup/product/sidehustle?
