Wisp.place Documentation | Wisp.place Docs

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/03/17

During a Cloudflare outage¹, I learned about [Wayback/Archive] Wisp.place Documentation | Wisp.place Docs

Decentralized static site hosting on the AT Protocol.

Wisp.place enables you to host static websites directly in your AT Protocol repository. Your Personal Data Server (PDS) holds the cryptographically signed manifest and files as the authoritative source of truth, while hosting services index and serve them with CDN-like performance.

This is the documentation of [Wayback/A] wisp.place by [Wayback/Archive] Ana (@nekomimi.pet) — Bluesky.

GitHub – valyentdev/valyent: A developers-first cloud platform.

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/20

In my list of tools to try out: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – valyentdev/valyent: A developers-first cloud platform.

I will likely start with the cloud version, but the local version looks promising too.

More links:

Via: [Wayback/Archive] Valyent.cloud: “📢 Valyent.cloud is getting fully open-source, and its UI dashboard is getting more features day after day. It allows developers to deploy Docker images at scale — made fast-booting and secure microVMs, taking inspiration from Fly.io.” — Bluesky

It died, but longer ladders will be there: 12ft – Wikipedia

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/31

From 12ft – Wikipedia:

On July 17, 2025, the News Media Alliance reported that it had taken down the website.

It’s impossible to enjoy the content of online media by paying (for instance because payment systems are not compatible, but also because those media often have region blocks), so this is to longer ladders (and understanding how ladders work):

Wat notities over het CDN wat de NPO gebruikt voor podcasts

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/11

Nog niet gecontroleerd, maar wellicht werkt dit ook voor (fragmenten van) radiouitzendingen?

Edit 20260313: redirect toegevoegd voor SEO, en sectie over redirect-checker.

Uit een draad over het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs die een paar maanden terug enkele dagen na haar boezem vriend en ex-man Gerard Cox overleed¹.

Ionica Smeets schreef over het liedje op Mastodon², maar de link naar de audio van de podcast [Wayback/Archive] Andermans Veren – Beluister Andermans Veren zondag 14 januari 2018 | Podcasts | NPO Radio 5 verdween al snel.

Omdat ik al eerder een probleem had met de audio van [Wayback/Archive] Keihard de Beste – NPO Podcast te downloaden, dook ik in de CDN die de NPO gebruikt.

De archivers hadden er wat problemen mee dus het staat in 2 stukken:

  1. [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica ik ga het je proberen uit te leggen. En dan kan jij het vast in veel simpeler bewoording weer terug uitleggen zodat anderen het ook begrijpen. …” – Mastodon
  2. [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers: “@ionica hopelijk heb ik je een beetje kunnen helpen met je opmerkingen in…” – Mastodon
  3. ³

Er waren wat zijstapjes naar onder meer hoe je een goede vraag op het internet moet stellen, dus de draad werd lang (:

Hieronder de volledige tekst, aangevuld met wat gearchiveerde links. Maar eerst twee versies van het liedje “Met puntjes” van Joke Bruijs: opnamen van 1986 en 1988:

Buddy (software) – Wikipedia

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/12/03

Interesting: Buddy (software) – Wikipedia

Buddy (also known as Buddy.Works) is a web-based and self-hosted continuous integration and delivery software for Git developers that can be used to buildtest and deploy web sites and applications with code from GitHubBitbucket and GitLab. It employs Docker containers with pre-installed languages and frameworks for builds, alongside DevOps, monitoring and notification actions.

On my list of things to try in case built-in GitGub and GitLab functionality does not suffice my needs any more.

I wonder how well it runs on ARM architecture.

Is this the ultimate XKCD “Dependency” derivative?

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/29

xkcd modern digital infrastructure torn down by a satisfied looking cat

Besides the August 2025 XKCD infrastructure dependency inspired cartoon on the right, the more recent and great [Wayback/Archive] XCKD: Dependency derivative below is a monumental piece as it combines the recent:

  • fiber outage of the Internet Archive
  • DoS of Cloudflare by itself
  • AWS us-east-1 dependencies outage
  • Crowdstrike DoS of Windows machines
  • framework-du-jour mentality in the JavaScript world
  • many more¹

Some notes on running Postfix inside a docker container

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/11/14

The plan was to run a Postfix secondary MX inside a docker container.

Below are many links that might help me to get that going.

For now, I think this is the shortlist of solutions to try:

  • Docker Mailserver
  • Mailcow
  • Mailu

GitHub – cryptpad/cryptpad: Collaborative office suite, end-to-end encrypted and open-source.
