All about yellow in the medieval periods one needs to know. Read up why it was not the color of the oldest kind of trade and how it was dyed:

@daedalost (https://lostinawesome.wordpress.com/2019/09/02/kurzfilm-astartes/) just introduced me to the short movie “Astartes”. While my wh40k times are long gone I still enjoy the fluff of the fandom and this one is intense.

Update: WordPress 4.2 has full UTF-8 support! There’s no need to upgrade manually any more. For many years, MySQL had only supported a small part of UTF-8, a section commonly referred to as plane 0, the “Basic Multilingual Plane”, or the BMP. The UTF-8 spec is divided into “planes“, and ...
tl;dr Thanks to @GaryPendergast I now switched from latin1 to utf8mb4.
Well f*ck me but I really didn’t take care about my blog at all any more. Checked the logs and an occasional error about emojis and the database showed up. On investigation I found out that the database was still running on MYISAM and latin1. WordPress never updated this during upgrade (despite my DB having support for this for ages). My website moved a lot and existed even before switching to WordPress in 2004 so it’s sort of a miracle that it’s still working anyway. Unlike Geocities and the likes I mean 😉

Fixed by running this SQL on all of my tables:
ALTER TABLE wp_posts ENGINE=InnoDB ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC;
ALTER TABLE wp_posts CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;

A previous article discussed password management tools that use server-side technology. These tools are very interesting and suitable for a cloud installation.In this article we will talk about KeePassXC, a simple multi-platform open source software that uses a local file as a database.The main advantage of this type of password management is simplicity. No server-side …
I like how this article about KeePassXC mentions the SSH agent integration [that is usually skipped in such articles]. Good stuff:

Did you know that you can play hundreds of games nowadays? Not just Windows through Proton – no. I’m talking about native games.
