After switching from Grav to Ghost I have to tweak a few articles. To be able to quickly jump from the frontend to the backend, I wrote a super-simple bookmarklet. Just save the following code as a bookmark. javascript:window.location.href=window.location.href+'/edit'; After you click the bookmark, the browser will navigate to http://DEINEBLOG.URL/edit and, if you’re logged in, you can edit the article directly.

Like Matsuko, I also sometimes find videos too dark when watching Netflix or YouTube in the evening. Usually I just turn up my screen brightness, but I’d prefer to brighten only the video itself. The following code snippet lets you do exactly that. /* Brighter Netflix and YouTube videos */ video[src^="blob:https://www.netflix.com/"], video[src^="blob:https://www.youtube.com/"] { filter: brightness(1.4); } The text was automatically translated from German into English.

If you’re using a device that supports dark mode, this little blog will now adapt its appearance to match your system settings. With the help of Jeremy Keith’s description, I was able to implement this very quickly. It’s actually incredibly simple. Just drop the following code into your style.css and define whichever CSS properties you want to apply in dark mode. @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { /* Dark mode CSS properties go here */ } You might also consider adding a switch to the blog so users can override the default setting. Thomas Steiner explains this quite well here. ...

After doing some research, I couldn’t find any reason not to automatically update your Raspberry Pi and the services Pi-Hole and Homebridge. That increases security, and you also don’t have to log into the system repeatedly and can effectively disable SSH. I wrote the following script and have it run once a day via Cron. Maybe someone else can use this. echo "####### UPDATE DES SYSTEMS #######" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade -y sudo apt-get autoremove -y sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y sudo apt-get autoclean echo "####### UPDATE VON PI-HOLE #######" pihole -up pihole updateGravity You’ll need to adapt the Homebridge part to your plugins. ...
