Oh, a nice one for my collection on https://karl-voit.at/cloud/
If you introduce technical unnecessary network connectivity to devices, you have to deal with risks like that.
For my tool-choice article, I came up with an #orgmode template to support collecting #requirements and solutions with their evaluation.
This might be handy to some of you.

True.
However, you've switched from a very rich syntax (#LaTeX) to a very simplistic one (lightweight markup language - #LML). There's a difference in output: https://karl-voit.at/2015/07/26/LaTeX-typography/
Don't get me wrong: I, too, prefer writing documents in #Orgmode and exporting to PDF myself. It's a very good compromise.
Meanwhile, I'd not care if the process switched from org->(pdf)latex->PDF to org-> #typst ->PDF or anything similar.
However, I'm not so sure if I'd use Org for setting a document where I really want to get the maximum, like I tried with my PhD thesis: https://karl-voit.at/tagstore/en/papers.shtml

Yet another neat feature of my #orgmode #lazyblorg #staticwebsitegenerator: text snippets you can re-use all over your articles. ✂️
From in-line words to whole paragraphs or headings:
https://github.com/novoid/lazyblorg/wiki/Snippets
My first use-case are the disclaimer texts on top of each #UOMF article that refers to the series main page: https://karl-voit.at/2019/09/25/using-orgmode/
The more I add smart little helpers like that, the more I am happy to have started writing my own tool in the first place: perfect adaption to my personal use-cases.
My #orgdown static website generator #lazyblorg learned lots of new tricks lately:
- ultracool #TagTree navigation 🏷️
- Atom feeds for single tags and combination of 2 #tags! 🔖
- share on Mastodon 
- "random articles published on the same day" 🎲
- published on pypi 🐍
- popular articles recommendation 📈
- generates list of all external URLs for link-checker workflows 🔗
- fixed broken handling of WaybackMachine URLs ⏲️

Try out its features on: https://karl-voit.at/ 🤩
It's still mostly a "works for me" solution (true geeks can make it run!) but a *really* fancy one! 😎
By accident, my #lazyblorg is one of the first blogging solutions that include a "Share on #Mastodon" functionality on each article page. 🥳
Learn how to do it yourself: https://share.joinmastodon.org/
Read about that: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Decentralization-as-a-hurdle-Mastodon-now-offers-share-button-for-websites-11196695.html
Try it out yourself at the bottom of an article like: https://karl-voit.at/2024/06/18/Fediverse-and-Mastodon/
👍
Over the last days, I wrote a personal tag-page about #music and how it relates to me: https://karl-voit.at/tags/music/
Have fun, if you're interested in my point of views.
And there is more in the pipeline where this came from: keyword #lyrics.
Stay tuned and subscribe to my Atom feed(s). 😉
@oantolin Well, I haven't used any #staticwebpage generator except my own: #lazyblorg.
The reason why I programmed my own generator was that I could not get the features I wanted to have anywhere else:
- blog posts anywhere I like them: among my tasks/projects/contacts/...
- absolute minimal effort to write a post
- that includes also being able to include images with just mentioning their file name
- navigation via #tags and #TagTrees (combination of different tags - very cool!)
- different types of pages: temporal, persistent, ...
- different Atom #feeds for the users: all articles, just one tag, all articles that combine 2 tags
It just feels "home" to me.

Ich schrieb gestern einen Leserbrief: Vorschlag, wie ein #Podcast (#minkorrekt) ein (#Wordpress-)#Forum durch das Fediverse ersetzen kann
https://karl-voit.at/2026/02/18/Vorschlag-minkorrekt-Fediverse-statt-Forum/
Das Konzept ist nicht nur für minkorrekt interessant.
Mit Hausmitteln kann man das #Fediverse mitnutzen, um mit seiner #Community Kommunikation zu betreiben.
Vielleicht hilft die Idee auch anderen Projekten.
@dborch @harkank
Es ist auch der vollkommen falsche Spin durch die Medien und von ahnungslosen Politikern.
Das Problem sind nicht die sozialen Medien.
Das Problem sind die süchtig machenden Algorithmen, endless scrolling, das Maximieren von Aufmerksamkeit und Emotionen.
Würde man sich darauf fokussieren, wäre plötzlich das #Fediverse eine wunderbare Möglichkeit, sich zu vernetzen, ohne die meisten, wenn nicht sogar alle negativen Auswirkungen.
