I just switched from Arc to Zen. Until now I used Zen for development and testing around, let's see how it handles day to day stuff.

I just found this site in the referrer list of my site. Looks pretty nice and seems to be based on the data of blogroll.org https://blogosphere.app/ #blogosphere

As I was working on an IndieConnector bug, I found myself right in the middle of a refactoring that was planned for the next major release. This will have some implications: IndieConnector https://maurice-renck.de/en/blog/2026/indieconnector-database

This is Pele, my new rendering library for diagrams and charts, compatible with the latest Mermaid syntax. - 100-500× faster than mermaid.js - 6× smaller bundle - No dependencies - Easy to theme - Responsive to device width - Open source (MIT) Try it at pele.run

In times of AI slop flooding the Web, and when everything feels like it's getting faster and faster, you know what I miss a little bit? Waiting for a new issue to arrive, sit down, look for the gimmick and read about interesting people; on good paper, with a great design.

I didn’t know this existed, what a cool idea! We (@diaabend) have just been added so I got a notification. This site currently lists 395 Punk bands which are on the Fediverse: https://fedi.punk.guide/ #music #punk #fediverse

Wow, this looks really really cool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85euP9GZbCM

Woke up convinced it’s Thursday 😵‍💫 Then realized it’s Wednesday! So many more opportunities! 😅 Now loudly playing some Anti-Flag and working on that #IndieConnector database class changes. Hopefully those will be finished today.

😱 https://youtu.be/xwB0ohq2xYk?si=_9yiWfCkkzJ3w4dj I think I still have my old iPod nano in one of those cable boxes.

I just watched Digger and don’t understand at all why the movie is getting so much hate. I thought it was great.

Ich bin dafür, dass wir den englischen Begriff „Whistleblower“ ab sofort gegen diesen deutschen Begriff tauschen!

As we just switched from „Spätsommer“ to autumn in a few hours, this album fits my current mood: https://tidal.com/album/538221247/u

I love that scroll effect (and the text of course): https://henry.codes/writing/dark-forestry/

Super… Krankenkassen übernehmen den aktuellen Corona Impfstoff nicht. Nur den letztjährigen. Ne aktuelle Grippe+Covid Impfung würde mich daher 160€ kosten…

> Read distraction-free on Substack This is a quite "funny" call to action when keeping in mind that it is substack showing all those overlays interrupting the reading flow when you're reading on their website.

Wow, that new Mastodon UI looks nice, but I guess it will take some time to get used to it.

I built a RSS service and reader for myself using #getKirby as the backend. It still only runs locally, but I am quite happy with the result. Here is a short summary of how I built this: maurice-renck.de/blog/2026/rs... #kirbyCMS #rss

I think it’s time to reactivate this #podcast

These are very concerning results, but unfortunately no surprise: https://2026.stateofdevs.com/en-US/ #StateOfDevs

Mainz. According to Wikipedia, Mainz is considered a media city due to its "strong media presence." Furthermore, Gutenberg, the inventor of the printing press, was born there. It may only be a matter of moments before the Wikipedia entry is up... https://maurice-renck.de/en/blog/2026/kirby-konf-2026

I am a fast reader, hopefully faster than these letters falling out of the book

throng.cee.wtf i've invented a new way to browse bluesky

RE: https://mastodon.online/@mauricerenck/117213203070254370 Also, today is #BandcampFriday so you could also buy the EP of my band! What an opportunity! And imho our cover art even looks a bit more playful: https://diaabend.bandcamp.com/album/alles-leuchtet

Look what arrived today:)

My enthusiasm for gadgets has steadily declined over the past few years. At least aside of music-making, because let's be honest: you can never have too many music-making gadgets! https://maurice-renck.de/en/blog/2026/new-gadget

So verlinkt sich die deutschsprachige Blogosphäre untereinander. Ich habe einen Graph gebaut, wie man ihn von Obsidian kennt. https://maurice-renck.de/en/blog/2026/blog-graph-august

In recent years, many of us have learned new terms. The "tipping point" is one of these terms, and it has been very relevant again during the summer. https://maurice-renck.de/en/blog/2026/the-number-59-26-can-kill-you

After a bit of silence here, during which I spent some time relaxing, reading books, and taking a so-called vacation, I'm now picking up where I left off and working on my Kirby plugins. I have a mountain of tasks and ideas piling up. https://maurice-renck.de/en/blog/2026/follow-plugin-updates

This post is nearly a year old, but I currently have the feeling it's more urgent than ever: "I am a bad swimmer" https://maurice-renck.de/erzaehlen/2025/der-schlechte-schwimmer

RE: https://mstdn.social/@iamkonstantin/117007557240401452 Wow, it's really awful to read the replies about passkeys, to be honest.

After watching #Backrooms in the cinema, this train station on the way back home really spreads its special charm.

I just stopped the SearXNG Container on my NAS. It's too slow on that machine and I got errors from search engines too often. I found myself getting annoyed and switched back to other engines. So, goodbye for now.

Here is a little sneak peek of the Kirby Obsidian Sync plugin. I am already testing around and will submit both of them soon, I guess. https://maurice-renck.de/en/kirby/kirby-obsidian-sync #getkirby #KirbyCMS #obsidian #sync
