Ever wake up to 200 new newsletter signups and think “Wow, I finally made it!”

Yeah… me too. Until I realized none of them verified their email addresses. Not a single one.

My newsletters got spammed a couple of months ago, so I decided to write an article about:

What this is

Why it’s happening

How to stop it

If you’ve got a newsletter or any kind of public form on your site, this might save you a headache down the line.

Hope it helps!

I'm super excited to announce that cyphergoat.com is now live!

What is CypherGoat?

It is a crypto swap aggregator it automatically finds the best exchange rates from our partnered exchanges at no extra cost. You can then perform the swap on that exchange, without ever leaving our website! We currently support 12+ exchanges.

You can read a detailed announcement post on my blog

Why it stands out:

We will be the first open source crypto exchange aggregator on the market.

We offer an extremely easy to use interface for both advances and new users. CypherGoat is extremely fast since all estimates are provided in less than 5 seconds (unlike other aggregators)

We offer an open source privacy friendly cli, so that you can perform swaps without even using a web browser, GitHub repo: https://github.com/CypherGoat/cli

Head over to cyphergoat.com to see the magic for yourself ; )

I was recently looking for broken links on my websites using ahrefs tool, but it kept asking for money. I realized how easy what they were doing is to implement, so I did it myself.

That's how I made crawlr. It will recursively search all of the urls on your website save them into a csv file with their status code and let you know how many urls are broken.

It is written in go and is extremely fast. It takes a couple of seconds to index a couple hundered of urls.

Give it a ⭐ if you like it

I recently deployed my django app to production. So I thought I'd write a guide on how to do that.

Hope this helps some django people out

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

I have been trying to setup my own newsletter for ages.

All of the platforms that I researched asked for stupid amounts of money for the services they where offering.

20$/month for 500 subscribers is not fair pricing mailchimp.

So I looked around the web for selfhosted solutions. Finally I found Listmonk, it's a selfhosted newsletter and mailing list manager, written in go and is extremely performant.

So I wrote an article on how to set that up!

I hope this helps some fellow selfhosters!

I've recently set up my own Gitea instance and I figured I'd share a simple guide on how to do it yourself. Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone looking to get started.
