Hmm. Ordered some extras alongside my C64 Ultimate. Since the homepage says they use semi-local warehouses, I felt pretty good about it. For some reason they send the three extras one by one, and I received the first one from Europe. Being a bit surprised by the delivery time for the next one, I decided to track it, and it’s coming from the US :-S. I sure hope this doesn’t mean additional import fees.

How We Made Our SaaS Homepage Cookie-Free for Better Privacy
Discover how we made our SaaS homepage cookie-free, enhancing privacy and streamlining the user experience.

The thing about a life-logger, is you input sensitive data about your life, lifestyle and activities, so privacy and data-integrity are some of the most important issues.
There can be no server, the data has to be yours and yours alone. Because you can’t tell what is happening to the data in a closed-source app, it must be completely free and open source.
You can’t trust a corporate diary, they must sell to anyone offering enough money.
So it is with my life log app, all data completely in your own device. No home server ever sees anything.
There is no home server. Just the code.
To achieve this Exocortex Log is a Progressive Web App. It downloads when you are online at the website and can be installed onto the homepage of your phone.
It keeps all data on the local device using indexdb.
This means you must be responsible for your own backups. Be sure to export and back up your data regularly. I have gaps in my ten year record where my phone was stolen and most recent backup was months prior.
Once installed it will work offline, airplane mode, no internet, down in the tube station at midnight, anywhere.
There's a blog on the website saying this and more: https://exocortexlog.com/news/articles/2025-12-06-release/

"So here is what we should all be doing instead: embracing the Big Ball of Mud. Let us be honest; in an age where mental health concerns are finally gone mainstream, I find accepting such truth after 25 years a deliverance for the software engineer in me. Our projects are like hourglasses glued to a table, so we should just breathe."

Goodness Gracious, Great Balls Of Mud!
On June 25th, 1999, Brian Foote published a seminal article that became, for a short while, one of the most commented pages of the early Internet, at least by struggling software developers and prospective architects. Such was the impact that it "was twice featured in Slashdot" (kids: that is the 1999 equivalent of "this article hit the homepage of Hacker News"). After almost exactly 25 years since that publication, one question still lingers: when are we going to accept defeat?

Im SEO explodieren die Klicks regelrecht mit einem einfachen Trick 🧨💥
Bei vielen Seiten die ich bisher gesehen habe, waren Themen oft nicht trennscharf auf eigenen Seiten sondern geballt auf einer One-pager Homepage oder einer Dienstleistungs-Seite.
Wofür soll die dann ranken? 💩
Besser immer eine Startseite aus Hub für Marke und Verlinkungen und pro Dienstleistung eine eigene Seite. Kostet ja in der Regel nichts, aber hilft Google die Seiten für relevante Keywords zu ranke…

One thing which is annoying about Vivaldi and also Firefox and presumably also all the other Android web browsers is the way the "Add To Homescreen" button works on pages like Mastodon which are Progressive Web Apps.
If you add the shortcut to the homescreen then it opens as a WPA which means the browser stuff is all gone and hidden. No back button. No way to bookmark. No way to launch a link in a new browser window etc.
Ought to be two separate buttons for "Add a link to the homepage" vs "Add this app as an app to the homepage" but there isn't.
You can get around this by turning on airplane mode and adding a link to the error page to the homescreeen, which then works as a link to the website in the browser, not a WPA app, when you're online again.
I did this to the links I use with Vivaldi before I realized it's proprietary and so will not do.
Trying to rebuild them as Firefox links again and sadly something is broken now. Won't add the error page. Tells me the pixel launcher is crashing.
So I can't have the old web bookmark links to pages in WPA apps. Boo. 😦

I just learned about my arXiv author id. It is "kahle_t_1" and using a link like
https://arxiv.org/a/kahle_t_1.html
you can get all articles by me without including those written by other people going under the name Kahle, T.
Might not be the most urgent thing with my name, but this seems very good. If you want to link to your preprints from your homepage, it might be worthwhile to use this instead of a link to search!
