Alex Schroeder’s Diary

This is the online diary about the stuff Alex Schroeder reads and does. There are various ways to contact me, but email is best. 📧 If you hear other people say that my sites are down, they got blocked by my defences. I'm very sorry about this. See blocked from my sites for more.

Welcome to my Wall of Text! 😄

My priorities are clear: to leave the world a better place. 🌍

If you're trying to follow the blog, there's a feed RSS to subscribe to and a bot account @blog@social.alexschroeder.ch to follow. The bot just posts a few sentences from the feed and links to new pages. 🤖

Changes is for the wiki perspective. ✒️

Bookmarks has links to other stuff without a long post of mine to go along with it. 🔖

And finally, Site Map has some of the blog categories. 🗺️

I post on social media as @alex@social.alexschroeder.ch with a feed RSS containing an entry for every thread I started. 🐘
