Maintaining custom software
Jeena writes about the challenge to maintain a custom blog software.
I've neglected my rails application which runs my own website for many many years, mostly because it's a lot of work to keep upgrading rails especially when it comes to major version changes. Dependencies break and disapear, API's break, you need to rewrite a lot of code because new concepts and data structures gets introduced, etc. Anyway now I need to upgrade from rails 4.2 which was released 8 years ago to 7.0 which was released last year.
I still like to have written my own website because this way I can have exactly the functionality which I want, not someone else. But it's a lot of work.
I feel the challenge. I started rewriting this very site in Rails, to be able to include Webmentions and support other IndieWeb features. But sadly, I didn’t find enough time
recently to work on the project.
So cheers to Jeena and hopefully, he’ll be able to upgrade to Rails 7.
Once I’ve finished some more client projects, maybe I’ll be able to take the time to work on this site more.
Was möchte mir der Autor damit sagen? Ich verstehe es wirklich nicht.

Ich lasse seit drei Tagen einen Snowflake Proxy in Docker auf meinem Rechner laufen. Bisher bewirkt es nix Schlechtes für mich und hoffentlich etwas Hilfe da wo sie gebraucht wird.
Nachher gibt es endlich mal wieder Baked Oats zum Mittag. 😋😋😋

I left my iPhone out in the sun yesterday. Once I realised and took it away, it said that it overheated and needed to cool down before I could continue to use it. I submerged it into the pool, to cool it. It’s supposed to be waterproof after all. 1/x
This morning I was able to gather quite a few strawberries 🍓 from our garden. 😍
Really made my day. What a wonderful comment.
It was supposed to be plural. Rails apps. 😉
