Hi, I'm Piet. I build things for the web. This is my website.

I kind of love it when this happens.
We were at an #ExPat kids birthday party this morning. Birthday girl heroically waited through 3 variants of happy birthday in English, Spanish, and Dutch before being able to blow her candles out. 👏🥳🎂
Whoop. Smooth migration from @pietvanzoen@mas.to to @pietvanzoen@indieweb.social. I debated starting my own instance, but... ya know... with kid number 2 due very soon I figured giving myself another side project probably wasn't wise. #Adulting
I moved my website #hosting from #GitHubPages to my #Linode VPS. Pretty much solely so I could control redirects and implement this:
https://johnmu.com/2022-mastodon-for-your-domain/
So now I can be found on Mastodon by searching hi@piet.me. 😬 Totally worth it.
Mastodon - be findable with your domain (on Firebase hosting)
While it’s cool to host your own Mastodon server, it’s not really efficient. A simple thing you can do, however, is to make it easier for others to discover your presence, if they already know your website. Try it out – search for “johnmu@johnmu.com” in your Mastodon instance. Also, click “follow” for SEO tips & other bad takes. Why is hosting your own instance inefficient? In short, sending updates between users (followers, followees) means connections between their individual servers, and if everyone has their own server, it’s a lot of network activity.
johnmu.comMight have to give this a try. Repurposing a kindle as a smart home e-ink display. #HomeAutomation #UpCycle
Your next smart home device is a $30 used Kindle
If you know how to use a command line, you can build one
matthealy.comPerfect little #coffee setup for the flex office. Thanks for the inspiration @keatley@mas.to!
Autumn in The Netherlands is a lovely time to #BikeCommute. (When it's not raining of course).
Feeling FOMO for some mastodon servers and thinking about migrating… again. 🙈 On the other hand it feels like a big deal choosing a server that matches your interests and values. Dilemma!
Gosh. It’s been a while since I posted a good Frida pic. So here’s two. Zen garbage cat, and standard floofy belly shot. #cats
