Well, this is a bit awkward, isn’t it? Another web and socials update in less than two months! Didn’t I just post everything in the last update back in Q2, almost early Q3 of 2025, in June?
Dear readers, some news just can’t wait, so let’s get straight into it: website updates.
It’s not a case of, “Oh no, I decided to go back to shared web hosting and ditch the VPS.” It’s more about this: Cloudflare is a US-based company, and lately, I’ve been moving all my services, if possible, away from US companies to self-hosting or to EU/EEA/European hosting providers. This led me down a rabbit hole (got it, rabbit hole—never mind!) and eventually to sites like euroalternative.co and european-alternatives.eu. There, I found a true gem, close to my heart and my country: Bunny.net, or to be clear, BunnyCDN and their BunnyDNS service. (See, a pun right off the bat, lol!)
It took some trials, tribulations, and some support chat (which was gosh-darn fast for a Friday afternoon, damn Slovenians!) to fix the issues, and now it’s working perfectly. The site seems to be loading a bit faster than before, and there’s no more unwanted “site-checking” JavaScript monitoring code being inserted.
There might be a few more bugs, but they’ll be squashed. Parsley certainly didn’t help them run this site, bre.
Socials Scene: TikTok Return and More
As for my social media presence, I’m back on the TikTok scene and still active on others. (Okay, maybe not so much on Mastodon or BlueSky, but I’m active on the rest!) Please don’t boo me or throw grenades for reopening my TikTok account. It was mostly for following BalkanDad and Amerikanac (Justus Reid), but it got me back into posting random TikToks, mostly AI-generated. Yes, AI-generated videos, using Canva AI and Google Veo 3. I can’t really say which one is used for what. Some posts are also crossposted to Facebook and Instagram. Good idea, I guess.
A Personal Note on Summer and Projects
Now, on a personal note: since it’s vacation and summer time, my pleasure and pet-peeve project is on hold. I’m thinking of not restarting it as a website, but only keeping it as a social media presence. Plus, that domain is now used for other things. The DNS will tell you more, as Marko Perković Thompson’s song says, “Ako ne znaš šta je bilo” – not only in Zagreb but also in Sinj.
Until the next post, keep it up and enjoy!
