An update for those of you not following me on Twitter.

I have completed the quest for places to sleep along my route to Berlin for #WalkToWCEU. I've got enough sponsor to hire a replacement for the maintenance clients of https://nostromo.nl and donations are up to €1600+.

I'll start the journey on May 19th and will arrive in Berlin on June 19th. If you want to follow my adventure, be sure to follow my updates on https://walktowc.eu🚶🏼

So, how are things here? Haven't checked in for a while here. Any new developments or people I should follow?

6 jaar doen over het reduceren van #plastic verpakkingen met 20% in de supermarkt. En het dan een ambitieus plan noemen.... #manmanman

Still looking for:

As my contribution to WordPress for this year will probably exceed 5% of my time, I'm not holding back on contributing more.

Doing some administration for nl_NL on make.wordpress.org/polyglots now.

Are you attending WordCamp Europe this year?
I am. And I'm going to walk 730km to get there. Why? To raise awareness and funds for @donate_wc@twitter.com.

#WalkToWCEU

With the #WordPress 5.0 release coming today, please bear in mind that support specialists might be a bit more busy than usual and replies might take a bit longer.

To prevent extra workload for these people, postpone upgrading.

Wie weet waar kan ik kerstpakketten bestellen die ik per stuk ergens kan laten bezorgen?

Switching to Bitwarden as password vault.. Like the interface, like that it's Open Source. Like that it has family options. Like the fast sync between browser extension/desktop app (also in Linux).

Hallo #Deutschland 🇩🇪

Ich werde nächstes Jahr 725km für einen guten Zweck laufen, und da mir noch 13 Schlafplätze auf der Strecke fehlen, bitte ich euch um Hilfe! Bitte sieh dir meine Route an und hilf mir diese Schlafplätze zu finden.
Danke!

I switched PhpStorm to dark mode and the WarmNeon colorscheme and i like it. Easy on the eyes, good to read.

Checking out some new TV series and playing around with Sonarr, newsgroups and torrents.

And then you see your download rate of 15,4MB/s and 37GB in the queue 😋

As of #WordPress 5.0, the editor for posts has been updated to a block editor. This block editor is also used for all “custom post types” (products are an example of this). There are a few problems with #WooCommerce 3.5.0 or older. Updating to 3.5.1 or higher will fix these.

Today was a day of die-hard coding. Refactored a sync plugin to be a bit more, nice. Happy with the things I learned, since I migrated it from a Procedural setup to OO, and it's using a jQuery progressbar along the way.🙃

So, I'm looking for resources to help me to set up local WP development in Docker on Ubuntu.

There's much info around, all I need is a guide that introduces the basics, with examples on how to set up a dev site with a local mapped url (mysite.test)

Help is appreciated, thanks!

Android without Google.
This sounds like a dream, but it's reality.

@gael_duval started the /e/ foundation https://e.foundation/ in 2017 and currently there is a beta Android OS available.

This looks very promising!
