Hello automated posting of photos in Bluesky

I posted a daily photo in IG for a long long time. This time round, I will be posting a photo each day in Bluesky using a script. Plus it is a random photo from a folder containing a few hundred of them, so it is also a surprise for me which one ges published each day. I would love to add Alt text, but that would require to run them all through some sort of AI (aka learning how to automate it). Not quite sure about that from the ethical point of view (plus who says the descriptions will be any good). On the other hand, creating descriptions for hundreds of photos is quite some work. Need to think about it.

More flet adventures

After getting the photo collage desktop app to a reasonable state, I am looking now at using it as a web app, which turns out to be reasonably straight forward, although a few tweaks are required here and there. I got myself a small server in the cloud to do some trials and so far I managed to set up nginx as a reverse proxy, set up certificates with certbot, and set up two separate apps side by side which are launched as services.

Lots of learning. Also plenty of issues to fix so it shows well on mobiles and tablets and to manage upload and download of files. Still, plenty of fun.

Good bye, CalendarPuzzle bot in twitter

 After a bit more than three years, today the CalendarPuzzle posted its last post in Twitter. Sorry for the followers there, I do hope that they will make their way to Bluesky and follow the bot posting there.
