    Feed2Toot

    Started looking into a service to auto-post from this blog onto my Mastodon feed. Feed2Toot fit the bill perfectly. I wanted to run the whole thing from a Docker container, though, so I’ll quickly write a how-to. This whole thing runs from a Raspberry Pi, as root. No k8s or k3s for me. The path…

  • The World’s Deadliest Thing

    The World’s Deadliest Thing

    Around 1895, whilst investigating the case of a group of musicians who had died after eating cooked ham, a Belgian scientist called Emile van Ermengem identified the bacteria at the heart of Kerber’s sausage poisonings, a disease that had been coined Botulism, after bolutus, the Latin for sausage. Later work showed that these bacteria, which…

    shanwong.design

    Shameless plug to get Google to index the website faster. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I was playing around with the idea to up the marketing and social media stuff for Shan (WFH is taking its toll — I was bored, always doing the same, saw Shan struggle to do both creative and marketing work, and I had plenty…

  • Theme

    I had the same theme for over four years. I’ve made quite a few custom css and PHP edits myself, and it had been outdated for ages… But it served me well. However, it’s now time for something new. As always, as minimalistic as possible. On a side note, this blog has been moved from…

  • https is win for spam

    Well, here are some stats for a longer period of time since moving to HTTPS. So moving to HTTPS lowered the average from ~1000ish to ~200 spam comments per month (I implemented HTTPS near the end of 2011-02). And yay, for Akismet’s graphs being back. For some reason they’d been broken for ages on this…

  • How to get rid of spambots on WP?

    Simple, start using SSL. Not entirely sure why this keeps spambots away, but a drop from ~100 spam comments/day (1/2) to at most 4 seems pretty cool. Edit: seems like they just do a POST request to an old URL (http://blog.tuinslak.org/some-post), which results in this reply: HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Server: nginx/0.9.4 Date: Tue, 22…

  • blog over ssl

    Starting a SSL test on this domain as of today. Free cert by StartSSL. SSL is clearly the new hype, and this time I won’t be last to join it! 😉 Just going to check how much (if any) SSL slows down my site. Every http requests gets automatically rewritten to https.

  • Theme, blog, and stuff

    As you noticed… Or perhaps didn’t notice, I’ve started using a new, simplistic theme a couple of days ago. Kinda thought it might be too simplistic (I’ve hidden the sidebar, there’s no search or archive, etc), but I started to, you know, get attached to it. So it’s here to stay, for a year or…
