Digital Independence Day

It’s unbelievable how fast time flies. Good intentions sometimes feel like old bookmarks in Netscape Navigator — you have them, but rarely use them. I did manage to revive one though: I migrated my personal blog from Ghost to Hugo. If I’m counting correctly, this was migration number three. My blogs seem to share the same fate as personal homepages with “Under Construction” GIFs.

Why all the effort? Starting in 2026, the first Sunday of every month will be Digital Independence Day. That felt like the perfect excuse to document my own side projects, detours, and little aha moments on the path toward digital independence — without tracking, algorithms, or cookie banners. Almost like the old days. Just with better CSS.

Cheers, Lars
