I've added a status page with #uptimekuma. I want to get used to it for now. It is currently running on the same server as the rest of the services, which is not optimal. Additionally adding some more sensors at some point.

Just created an overview of the services I host.

I've decided to add an email newsletter to my blog. It is still 'work in progress', but I make progress and the first 'issue' will be sent next Monday.

GDPR-compliant, no tracking, lightweight, and nothing special.
