Mein Beitrag zum #Bloggerschnack im April: WordPress.com, Gutenberg, Safari – und zunehmend KI als Sparringpartner. Von WSKI bis Claude: Wie Software und Large Language Models meinen Blog-Alltag verändern. Ein Blick hinter die Kulissen.#Bloggen #Wordpress
After a quiet month of April, here is *finally* a short blog for May ;) Let's add tabs to your Hugo posts!

New post: Fearless Dependency Injection for Go

Well this is very nice. Like reddit, but better for mental health (mostly because it's just blog posts).

Do you remember the days when people used to write little notes, drawings and messages for people they cared about?

Mid year, trying to knock out a few blog posts. Finished the one on the Gemini protocol, since I wanted to do that one before I finish the small web one. Next up is a brief one on physical media, then the one on the small web after that. And maybe get a few more in after all those before the end of the year.

Now this is the kind of blogpost that's a joy to read: #mastodon #blog #SocialNetwork
It's been a looooong time since I wrote a technical article for my #blog
This one is about my work on Logtau, a collection of logging libraries for #NodeJS : #JavaScript #TypeScript #logging #FLOSS #OpenSource
For whatever reason, I keep coming back to this idea of sharing a somewhat random brief moment in time.

New on #blog: pkgbump: from a dumb tool to an irreplaceable helper
#Gentoo developer. It shouldn’t then be surprising that it is the one most asking for some kind of automation, and that the #pkgbump script would be one of the first scripts to become a part of the mgorny-dev-scripts package.
Today’s pkgbump have come a long way from the trivial script of its first iteration. The most recent versions finally feature the feature I desired for a long time: version manipulation. This also made it possible for the script to become a complete version bumping tool rather than just a part of a larger workflow. In this post, I’d like to shortly tell the story behind the changes, and demonstrate the new options.

I wrote a blog post... I didn't mean for it to turn into some weird poem.

For years, whenever I'd share links to my Wordpress posts on social media the preview image would be seemingly pulled at random, usually ignoring the first image. Finally fixed it yesterday by installing a plugin called "Open Graph and Twitter Card Tags", then checking the box that says,"First image from the post/page content" in the settings. I'm sure there are better ways to fix but it worked for me. Sharing in case anyone still blogs and has the same problem. #wordpress #blog #blogging https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/

Thanks to Brendan Schlagel, who got me thinking about this.

New on #blog (this time with quotes from Fedi): "Why Gentoo?"
#Gentoo is perceived by the wider public, the non-users. What probably stands out most is compiling. Almost everyone who heard of Gentoo knows it has something to do with compiling everything. And why are we doing that? Well, besides being hardcore, the common sentiment goes for performance. So yeah, Gentoo users must be some kind of hardcore ricers who try to squeeze every last bit of their system performance.
To be honest, I don’t think that’s a good way to describe Gentoo. Yes, compiling is at the core of it. But performance? I don’t think so, at least not in the obvious, -O9999 -fzomg-fast way. The world has moved on, CPUs have gotten faster, optimizations have gotten smarter, and distributions have started optimizing more aggressively. Optimization-wise, I suspect your average Ubuntu package with generic optimizations may be no slower than the equivalent Gentoo package fine-tuned for your CPU. And if it’s not, then it probably won’t make a real difference anyway.
There’s much more to Gentoo than that. Yes, some of it comes from building from source: the flexibility. But a lot of it comes from the wider Gentoo philosophy, the philosophy that brought us all together. The idea that Gentoo is the distribution we’re making for ourselves and people who enjoy Gentoo. So if I were to make a few arguments for Gentoo, I’d focus on that. And this is what I’d like to do here.

Learning random facts from random people, I mean, that's one of the great things about the internet, right?

What should a person do when they are typing up a Mastodon thread, and it's already almost 400 words before you've started to wrap it up? I estimate this will be over 5 posts.
I need a blog. I doubt I will get any readers or subscribers, but at least I can use it as a journal. Hopefully my Fediverse followers would open a link with a good enough teaser.
Followers, what are you doing when you want to post something long?
Wordpress gave me an award for endlessly fussing over a post. #blog #blogging #wordpress
The blog was very quiet this month, but behind the scenes, it was a month full of productivity! :)

Last fall I stuffed several hundred eastern redbud seeds into pharmaceutical gel caps, then waited for parasitic wasps to emerge so that I could take photographs. #blog #wasps #insects #parasites #nature #redbud #beetles #hymenoptera #macro #macrophotography #entomology https://colinpurrington.com/2026/06/wasps-emerging-from-eastern-redbud-seeds/

Have you heard of MRU.nvim before today? I didn't and that's another plugin I was missing to build my perfect Neovim.

Yesterday, I've posted about the Xteink X4. Today, I'm sharing my short-term review of this tiny thing, and a bonus.

For me, remembering mostly happens through reliving movement. But how about you? 🤔

Another rabbit hole I'd like to share with you. Maybe it'll become a new series on the blog...

I've joined the Xteink X4 team and took this opportunity to write the only post of this month. Just in time ;)
