Sveriges riksdag legitimerar och skapar beroende till en kontroversiell plattform i tredje land, för nationell information. Sverige måste ha en stabil grund för kommunikation i kritiska lägen, men riksdagens webb gör tvärt emot det regeringen själv predikar. Jag delar en strategi för att göra rätt.

Det borde vara självklart att Sveriges riksdag ska äga sitt eget distributionslager och behandla alla externa plattformar som kanaler för vidarepublicering, aldrig som primära källor. Riksdagen ska inte ta ställning för en viss plattform över en annan. Det är en fråga om sårbarhet.

Jag ser framför mig tre tydliga lager för information:

1. En obestridd, trovärdig källa - Egen domän, snabbladdad, tillgänglig och öppen. Lär mottagarna vilken adress de kan lita på.

2. Standard för distribution - RSS till e-post, nyhetsläsare, sociala medier och mer. “Publicera en gång, nå ut överallt.”

3. Externa kanaler - För mottagarens bekvämlighet, och för redundans, men aldrig som officiell källa.

I'm trying to move away from GitHub issue to just plain markdown files in Obsidian and then using Bases (https://help.obsidian.md/bases) to sort, filter, track, etc. Me and Claude both love markdown!

A couple of times each week I do a little work on an image using the Acorn image editor for Mac. Each time I think about how awesome it is: it opens in a second and it only costs like $20! It's unbelievable good value!

Go get it now!

Elementor did an outgoing GET request, without my permission. Without Simple History I would not have known that.

How to Catch Plugins Secretly Phoning Home

Did you know that according to the WordPress.org plugin guidelines, a plugin is not allowed to track a user without their consent. That’s a good rule that sometimes plugin authors break.

Got Claude Code to format markdown files (and some others) automatically after working with them. Took a while to understand how to get the hooks config correct.

Attaching image of the config, if anyone else is interested.

Moving from LastPass!

I need a reliable alternative with:

- EU/Swiss base (No US companies)
- Long-term stability & digital sovereignty
- Solid apps for macOS, iOS & Android

Any tips for a secure European vault?
