Digital sovereignty is currently the order of the day.

It all started with a post on Lobste.rs, someone asking how others manage their SSH keys.

Since I started using DuckDuckGo in the early 2010s, one of my favorite features that made me stay around to this day was the !

Here we are at the end of another year, so I will share again the two books I enjoyed the most.

The good part of having a personal blog is that I can write about whatever comes to my mind.

Another Friday, another Django related post.

This week, I’ll continue on the same theme of my previous “Django Friday Tips” post.

One year ago, I checked the top 1 million “websites” for a security.txt file and then posted the results in this blog.

Since late January, the python package index (PyPI) supports archiving projects/packages.

Here we go again for another post of this blog’s irregular column, entitled Django’s Friday Tips.

Another year went by, and another batch of books was consumed.

I’ve been participating in the Fediverse through my own mastodon instance since 2017.

PyCon US happened in May, this month, the 154 videos gradually started being published on YouTube.

This week, I’m back at my tremendously irregular Django tips series, where I share small pieces of code and approaches to common themes that developers face when working on their web applications.

Earlier this year, I decided to explore Redis functionality a bit more deeply than my typical use-cases would require.

A few years ago, I covered here in the blog the “security.txt spec”.

Bitcoin Atlantis is just around the corner.

To be sincere, I have a strong preference for written content.

Reporting application errors to a (small) list of admins is a feature that already comes built in and ready to use in Django.

Today, let’s go back to the topic of the first post in this series of Django tips.

If you are a frequent reader of this blog, you might already know that I created a small tool to generate a simple webpage plus an RSS feed, from the content of multiple other RSS sources, called worker-planet.

We reached the end of another year, and generally, this is a good time to look back, to evaluate what was done, what wasn’t done and eventually plan ahead.

Occasionally, “modern” baby monitors hit the news, but not for the best reasons.

The possibilities of the ActivityPub protocol, and what it can bring to the table regarding interoperability in the social media landscape, are immense.

No matter how much you try to delay and how many reasons you find to postpone, eventually the time comes.
