Currently playing around and testing the ActivityPub plugin for WordPress, with the latest PR so its also working with ClassicPress v2.
\nLets see how far this is gonna work out.
For better or worse, there should now be a toot with image attached, with a useful alt text, plus some fancy tags (if the plugin converts categories to tags, that is).

Its based on WP 6.2 and does not contain Gutenborg (ie. the Block Editor), but compatiblity layers for allowing “regular” block-focused plugins to continue working. So CP 1.6 is supposed to be the last version based on WP 4.9.
\nI’m going to test the current alpha / nightly release of CP v2.0 soonish under a separate subdomain. It should allow for using newer WooCommerce versions, which in turn would enable me to do a “proper” fork of WooCommerce with most things up-to-date and working, instead of having to rely on WC 3.9.x and a lot of backporting / rearranging.
\n“Soonish”, because these days, I’m quite busy with work and cannot exactly say when I’m going to have some spare time left to do a proper installation. Proper installation includes the complete data of THIS blog, with a potentially updated / enhanced theme (I’d love to switch this one over to the amalgam of Bootstrap 4 and 5 I’ve been using for client projects lately), and all the plugins that mostly stopped working.
\nI’d also like to test if WP Super Cache works again with CP 2, or if I still need to do a soft-fork. From what I could see from comparision of commits is: The incompatiblity is non-existent, its a decision made by the developers, changing the “Compatiblity” setting in the plugin identification block to “at least 5.x”, but the plugin by itself works perfectly well even in WP 4.9.x and CP v1.x, as soon as one changes the resp. line to “4.9”.
So I finally decided to disable Bogo, which has been a shoddy solution from the very start. But now its a shoddy solution only supporting the other shoddy, WP-6-only solution, ie. Gutenborg. Tried a few workarounds, but in the end, its wasted time and efforts to get this shoddy piece really working.
\nHence I’m probablly going the dirty’n’hard way, as in: its not quick, but its gonna work somehow: Use meta fields to assign language, add fancy stuff to the theme to indicate the language of the current post or page, connect posts and pages using meta fields, and so on. Maybe also add a simple translation / i18n shortcode for quick inline sections, and a simplified language switcher to the sidebar / navigation.
\nMaybe release a simple tutorial + micro plugin, too. All to be seen in the nearby future.

\nPartial english translation – if you’re living in the US, there certainly are better ones. THIS one is foer NON-US folks!
\n– ca. 250g Flour
\n– 2 mid-size eggs
\n– 175g creamy peanut butter
\n– ca. 100g Nutella / Milkyway spread
\n– 2 TL cocoa powder
\n– ca. 100g Magerine
\n– ca. 200g sugar – besser 175g
\n– 2 TL table salt
\n– 1 Msp. cake “spice” (nicht notwendig, aber Gew\u00fcrze wie Nelken und Zimt heben nochmal den Geschmack)
\n– 350g Blueberries – or any other type of berry
\n– 3 TL Sourcherry marmelade (or any other similar, dark type of marmelade; adds some additional depth to the dough)
\n– 2 TL backing powder
\n– ca. 150 ml milk or similar liquid
\n– backing paper (alternative option: grease / oil the baking pan)
Planned for a box type of 30 x 20 cm; amount produces about a 4 – 5 cm high cake. Other option: Circular, low cake pan with a diameter of 26 cm and 4 cm tall border.
\n– mix dry ingredients
\n– add peanutbutter and nutella / milkyway spread and mix it well using a fork
\n– add and mix in Magerine
\n– crack eggs and mix them in
\n– kneed / mix the dough thoroughly for a few minutes
\n– add and heap under the marmelade
\n– measure the right amount of milk / liquid, then add it slowly while mixing the dough further (eg. with said fork or a spoon)
\n– the consistence should be similar to a cream (pudding), ie. not too runny
\n– if too runny, try adding some flour and thoroughly mix it into the dough
\n– slowly add / fold in air for 1 – 2 minutes, to improve the fluffiness
\n– after having prepared the cake pan before-hand (by either adding the baking paper OR greasing it properly), pour in about half to 3/5th of the dough
\n– now add the (washed and cleaned) berries
\n– finally, add the rest of the dough on top and smooth it out
– preheat the stove to 200 C lower / upper heat; destination temperature: 180 C
\n– middle of the stove (or lower third, just not in the upper third!)
\n– bake it for about 40 minutes
\n– if needed, add up to 10 minutes to the baking process (depending on the stve; I’ve accidently left it in there for 58 minutes, but apparently didnt do any damage)
“Die Blaubeeren werden bald schlecht – wenn du welche haben m\u00f6chtest: bedien dich!”
\n\n– ca. 250g Mehl
\n– 2 mittlere Eier
\n– 175g cremige Erdnussbutter
\n– ca. 100g Nutella / Milkyway-Brotaufstrich
\n– 2 TL Kakaopulver
\n– ca. 100g Magerine
\n– ca. 200g Zucker – besser 175g
\n– 2 TL Tafelsalz
\n– 1 Msp. Kuchengew\u00fcrz (nicht notwendig, aber Gew\u00fcrze wie Nelken und Zimt heben nochmal den Geschmack)
\n– 350g Blaubeeren – oder jede ander Beerensorte
\n– 3 TL Sauerkirsch-Marmelade (oder jede andere \u00e4hnliche, dunkle Marmeladensorte; gibt dem Teig nochmals etwas geschmackliche Tiefe)
\n– 2 TL Backpulver
\n– ca. 150 ml Milch o.\u00e4. Fl\u00fc\u00dfigkeit
\n– Backpapier (alternativ: Form gut einfetten / \u00f6len)
Ausgelegt f\u00fcr eine Kastenform von 30 x 20 cm, Menge ergibt ca. 4 – 5 cm dicken/tiefen Kuchen. Genauso geeignet: Kuchenform mit 26 cm Durchmesser und ca. 4 cm hohem Rand.
\n– Trockene Zutaten vermischen – Mehl, Salz, Kakaopulver, Gew\u00fcrze, Zucker
\n– Erdnussbutter und Nutella o.\u00e4. hinzuf\u00fcgen und gut mit einer Gabel o.\u00e4. durchmengen
\n– Magerine dazugeben und durchmischen
\n– Eier aufschlagen, ggf. durchquirlen und hinzugeben
\n– Teig gut vermengen f\u00fcr ein paar Minuten
\n– Marmelade hinzuf\u00fcgen und unterr\u00fchren
\n– Milch o.\u00e4. Fl\u00fc\u00dfigkeit abmessen und langsam hinzugeben, w\u00e4hrend man den Teig weiter vermischt
\n– die Konsistenz sollte \u00e4hnlich einer Creme sein, also nicht zu fl\u00fcssig
\n– falls zu fl\u00fcssig, ggf. noch etwas Mehl hinzuf\u00fcgen und gut durchmischen
\n– leicht aufschlagen / Luft unterheben f\u00fcr 1 – 2 Minuten, um die Fluffigkeit zu erh\u00f6hen
\n– Kastenform / Kucnenform vorbereiten – entweder mit Backpapier auslegen oder gut einfetten / \u00f6len
\n– ca. die H\u00e4lfte des Teigs in die Form geben und verstreichen
\n– danach die (vorher gewaschenen und gereinigten) Blauberren \u00fcber die erste Kuchenschicht streuen
\n– zum Schlu\u00df den restlichen Teig \u00fcber die Blauberren-Schicht geben und gut glattstreichen
– Ofen vorheizen auf 200 Grad Celsius Ober- und Unterhitze; Zieltemperatur: 180 C; bei Umluft entspr. 20 C abziehen (180 => 160)
\n– ca. 40 Minuten im Ofen bei 180 Grad Celsius
\n– wenn n\u00f6tig, bis zu 10 Minuten zugeben (je nach Ofen unterschiedlich); mein Kuchen war versehentlich 58 Minuten im Ofen, hat aber auch nicht geschadet
Nach einigen, eher spontanen Bewerbungen und daran anschlie\u00dfend \u00fcberw\u00e4ltigendem Feedback, orientiere ich mich jetzt, Mitte 2022, etwas um.
\nD.h. die Gespr\u00e4che haben mir u.a. gezeigt, dass ich, wenn ich denn meine Selbst\u00e4ndigkeit erhalten m\u00f6chte, diese besser, griffiger, detailierter aufstellen und definieren muss.
\nDa ist zum einen meine fachliche Ausrichtung: Weiterhin Web Developer / Frontend-Designer, was ich auch ab und zu mal als Gegenst\u00fcck zum DevOp bezeichne, so etwas wie »DevDes«. Die Gewichtung hat sich, auftragsbedingt, in den letzten Jahren st\u00e4rker Richtung Entwicklung verschoben, so dass das Verh\u00e4ltnis bei ca. 60% Webentwicklung und 40% Webdesign & Usability liegt.
\nZum anderen ist da noch das, was ich tats\u00e4chlich an Leistungen durchf\u00fchre:
\nWie ich das jetzt griffig im Portfolio pr\u00e4sentieren kann, ohne wie ein Bauchladen zu wirken, ist der n\u00e4chste Schritt. Es ist ja nicht so, als w\u00fcrde ich alles in gleichem Umfang durchf\u00fchren – so sind Notfallaufr\u00e4ge mit gehackten Websites eher nicht der Standard.
