Scenes and quiet moments from Hua Hin.

Full setup guide for running Forgejo as a rootless Podman container with Caddy as reverse proxy, systemd integration via Quadlets, and SSH access.

First steps after provisioning a fresh Debian VPS — system updates, a non-root user with SSH key auth, unattended upgrades, and hardened SSH config.

How I wrote a small Remark plugin that converts [[wiki-links]] from Obsidian into proper HTML links at build time — without changing how I write in the editor.

A practical runbook for common failure modes in Mastodon + Bridgy + webmention.io setups: token scopes, canonical URLs, delayed backfeed, and stale reactions that no longer exist upstream.

How Mastodon syndication was added to the deploy pipeline: RSS-based posting for articles and notes, OG image uploads, idempotent state tracking, and rate-limit hardening.

How webmention.io handles incoming mentions and likes, how a build-time component displays them, and how webmention.app sends outgoing notifications after each deploy.

How .bluesky-posted.json auto-populates u-syndication links on every article and note page — no manual frontmatter required after each post.

Extending the syndication script to cover notes, compress OG images before upload, use original publish dates, and persist Bluesky post URLs in the state file.

Automatically syndicating new articles to Bluesky after each deploy — fetching the live OG image, uploading it as a blob, and posting a rich link card via the AT Protocol API.
