Making the perfect focaccia

This is really a perfect recipe for focaccia. And I am not bragging, as this is not my own recipe.

Many websites have RSS feeds, and if you follow a RSS feed you get the updates in your RSS reader. So if you follow the RSS feed of your favorite newspaper, every time they add a new news item, you will see it in your reader.

For me 2024 is going to be the year of the Fediverse. Moving away from X, Instagram, Facebook, Threads & BlueSky to focus on Mastodon, Micro.Blog, Pixelfed and other ActivityPub / Fediverse based media.

Will write about my experience. Did already a Medium post about starting on Mastodon last year as well as a post on the Social Web which is another term for the Fediverse.

More to follow later
