I was now having a walk through some old pictures and this one just popped up. That's my second Honda VTR 250 that I owned, a total compulsive buying that gave me a great satisfaction and made me very sad to say goodbye to. A toy. A cheap canvas. I invested a little bit on her, mecanically and stetically.
I'd like to write some lines about her one today.
A year ago in June, when our daughter made 3 months, we jumped into our van and started our #ElternzeitTour2023, the second half of my parental leave: 3 months to slowly drive from #Düsseldorf to #Barcelona and back to visit my parents and let them meet our baby.
That was around 7000 kms, and we got to know plenty of campings, some of them we enjoyed a lot and some of them we simply could not wait to leave behind. With a wish to register them for the future and for others, we crafted this list that contains their reference, price and some personal opinions.
Weinsberg Carabus 600 K - Water issue, spring 2024

Weinsberg Carabus 600 k
Our recently bought third-hand campervan Weinsberg Carabus 600 K from 2021 gave us some headaches after our first Easter use. Nothing big, mostly related to not not knowing how to manage such apartment on wheels, but enough to block us from enjoying a weekend out and keeping us busy for a pair of weeks.
In this article I go through water pump change, custom water filter bypass and understanding the Truma water boiler and its valves, to have the van up and running again.
I usually mention that #Spain is just a puzzle of cultures that (push to) exist by themselves, and then may appear the #separatist sentiment.
Today an interesting map (apparently) from 2020 just crossed paths with me, and I intend to keep it at hand for these occasions that I'd like to bring the #multiculturality that actually builds this country.
Lately I am getting good at cooking a typical “truita de patates” how we call it in Catalunya, “tortilla de patatas” how they call it in Spain, or “Spanish omelette” how I discovered it is called internationally. I took a family receipt, some tips and tricks around, and evolved my own receipt that brings a delicious omelette with potatoes and onions as a base.
In a recent team breakfast I promised to some of my peers that I'll share my receipt, so here it goes 😋
Masto-Feed: A personal RSS reader as a Mastodon account companion

When I came to #Mastodon I directly engaged with the bot possibilities, and so I started my own RSS feed bridge to publish in the #fediverse. This is around a year and a half ago.
Since then, my EchoBot evolved quite a lot in stability and functionalities, but moved a bit away from the initial idea of having a personal companion that pings me when new content has published.
Recently I took its last version, stripped out everything not meant to be in a RSS feed reader, and added mentions interaction, to give birth to a new bot: the Masto-Feed.
Today I just finished the last details after seeing it working nice for the last month, and I am proud to present it to you in this blog post.
Migrate the firefish admin account to another instance

In a previous article I installed a #Mastodon #Glitch Edition intended to become my techie instance, moving there my bots from the previous #Firefish instance. The final step was to migrate my personal nerd account and this article was supposed to be a walk through… just that it’s not. It is a log about my adventure and failures to move an admin account away from Firefish, to execute a successful #fediverse account #migration against all odds.
So bear with me, grab a sit and a drink, and let me explain you how (not) to do a migration between fediverse instances.
Update Mastodon to v4.2.5 and keeping customisations

Recently the new #Mastodon v4.2.5 was announced and with it the urge of a security fix. In a previous article I explained a strategy to keep the code customised and up to date, and even working with #git is part of my daily work, I feel like explaining in detail the process so that I will remember it for future references and also may help anybody that has the instance somewhat customised.
Install Mastodon Glitch Edition on a Raspberry Pi 4

With the fall of #Firefish I started to look for alternatives for my nerdy instance. I won’t come back to #Akkoma and I really got fed up of the #Misskey / #Calckey flavour. I already have a #Mastodon that simply works great, and what about this #Glitch fork that just adds some features? Looks promising, let’s try it!
Recently I saw again one of my #RaspberryPi hosts freezing and needed a physical restart while I was away. This is the only topic that worries me about #self-hosting, as I am not always next to the hosts when they fail (that does not happen that much).
This time I received the tip from @Cassman@mastodon.social that triggered a test and this article about the built in #Watchdog!
