Declare Independence
...don't let them do this to you!
This are news about nodeponds-nerdletter itself!
What started out as a daily experiment and to declare independence against the arbitrariness of modern social media (with persons like Elon Musk) - now came to a new point to declare independence. Read the whole story here.
This is new behind the scenes!
Nodeponds-Nerdletter is now running its own infrastructure. I setup my own server. I am using the open-source-tool Ghost. The server is actually hosted in the deepest Germany in Falkenstein. So the complete newsletter is now self-hosted, which is also good for you: less eyeballs on the usage-stats. But: I still have activated stats, so open- and click-rates are still getting measured. And for the sake of completeness: for email-delivery I use the service Mailgun.

And the best: not only great tool - it just feels good to have complete control and independence over the complete infrastructure.

This were the recent news. The rest will stay the same - much more nerdstuff throughout the whole year - no matter what!
