Hopefully this blog will chart my motorbike rides on my trusty Royal Enfield 350 Classic.
I might add other things that I find interesting, then I might not.

#music #spotify #lastfm #data
I’ve been tracking my music listening habits for decades on last.fm ever since my dad introduced me to the platform – it’s great to see what music I listened to overtime.
I used to use last.fm daily to find new music by exploring radios, in a time before streaming when ripping mp3s of disk (or online) was king it was the best way to find new music. Once Spotify took over I dumped my local music collection and exclusively listened to streamed music, I had my last.fm connected and mostly ignored it while it silently collected my data.
I’m not sure when last.fm changed but it’s a far throw from its glory days now and it’s hard to see really simple stats about my listening history without signing up for a pro membership. Recently I found an alternative which is exclusive to Spotify called YourSpotify. It is self hosted and pulls recent listening data in real time from the Spotify API but requires a data export from Spotify (which takes up to 30 days) for full historic listening data.

#services #selfhosted #homelab
I have wanted to host my own fediverse/activity pub compatible server for a while – however I felt running a full on Mastodon server was to heavy for my use case. And other options seemed to take a bit too much effort to host for my liking.
I had all but given up until I came across Write Freely which is a blog focused platform that just so happens to share posts via activity pub. Setting it up was super simple as a single docker container and it supports single user mode, or multi user mode with very basic permissions.
I have put it up on a spare domain which I can use as my federated username @prra.xyz because it is generic I can also use it as a social media post engine for all my company accounts.

I am due to start a new role next week which I am very excited for, but before I confirmed I had to go through the process of trying to find roles available in my industry and area. While sites like Indeed, and LinkedIn have vast amount of job postings I found them difficult to navigate and often out of date – or companies straight up don't post to them.
I have a list of local companies or companies in my ideal sector which I would like to work for, you could call this my list of dream jobs. It includes some interesting tech startups nearby, charities I like the mission off etc.. Most of these organisations have a careers page which I can visit to see any open roles, but it's hard work checking 15 or so job pages every few days to see if anything has opened up.
Thats where some self hosted software came into play, I setup my own instance of Change Detection and loaded in all of the companies I wanted to track. Now twice a day I get an email if any of them post new job listings, even if they don't post those roles to large job sites.
