There is a lot of struggles when maintaining a newsletter platform, but I believe that similarly with hosting your own website outside a platform, one could host their own newsletter. If you are looking to self-host your own newsletter solution, check out listmonk, it has a nice interface and it is relatively easy to install and use. When it comes to delivery the emails to your subscribers a nice mail server is Maddy.

This is sort of a new years resolution. I don’t remember doing any post like that in this almost 20 years that I am blogging. Oh! That is right! 2024 I will celebrate 20 years of blogging. I will make sure I write something special on the day to celebrate. But for now let’s put together a list of things I would like to get in 2024. I would start with this blog, back in June 2023 I did a 30 day challenge where I wrote a post a day.

I’ve been hearing and seeing some examples about Digital Gardens around the IndieWeb, and I always wonder if I should create one for myself. So when I saw Mark Sutherland’s call for the August’s carnival challenge on the topic of Gardening I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to create one. Making that decision was the easy part. Then I started to research and looking around for examples. In the IndieWeb wiki there is a page with a few resources on Digital Garden with links for other peoples creations.

Well a full month with 30 posts, one per day. It was a bit challenged at some days. Sometimes I didn’t know what to write about. But I didn’t shy. A lot of my posts were for myself in the future. I think I will appreciate look how I was thinking and what interested me in say 10 or 20 years from now. And what now? Apart from a few ideas I think on this space I will be writing less frequent but I will be posting here every time I find something interesting.

There are some activities that I can do with out have to pay attention to much and they ended up been enjoyable because have a relaxing feeling to it since a little effort is need to engage with it. Two that come to mind are washing the dishes and hanging the clothes in the clothe’s line. Many times I have done such activities while watching a video or listening to a podcast.
