Adaptive dark mode looks neat! TL;DR: For websites that signal support of dark mode with <meta name="color-scheme" content="light dark"> in HTML or color-scheme: light dark in CSS, Adaptive Dark Mode does not change a thing. I love these posts by the @webkit.org team. In many cases they don't just explain how new features will work, they also share some good best practices. For example: All the web technology needed to fully support dark mode is widely available today, including: <meta…

last updated 0 minutes ago online goddess' post about the cost of blogging got me thinking around my internet connectivity and budgeting/personal finance special interests! whilst i know and believe getting online can be relatively very cheap in the UK, i know for most people it's not, and "speedy and reliable" and "affordable and/or cheap" are often in contention in a lot of countries. graph is from the ITU in case you're interested. they have lots of cool data. apologies for the graph so…

Voted! I’m always impressed with how well Minnesota runs polling places. ✅

This is the eighth post in my A-Z Toolbox series, in which I’m listing tools I use down the alphabet for no logical or practical reason. Beans. The letter H is a bit thin compared to previous letters, but htop was an easy winner. It’s an interactive process viewer similar to top(1), but with colour, bar graphs for CPU and RAM usage, and easy to use filters. I’m a fan of running OSs stock, but htop has long become essential for BSD and Linux machines. Others include: HAST on FreeBSD, which I…

21:17 - Pulled the three of wands again tonight... What are the odds?

the lake sends brutal winds my way I'm cold already but keep walking the cold feels like a punishment why are you still walking these streets, girl? a question I don't want to answer so I keep walking

January 2026 February 2026 March 2026 April 2026 May 2026 June 2026 July 2026 August 2026 September 2026 People allegedly liked my Cohost compilation posts at the time and I think it's good to share sometimes. Though since this isn't Cohost anymore, I'm slow at looking at my RSS feed (these ain't even all from my RSS feed), and I hate looking at bsky, there's probably just going to be way fewer/smaller posts on these. Oh well. Please comment with anything else you think was good, I am going to…

Timely video to watch with my post earlier today about algorithms. The post The Last Normal Year appeared first on @Kevuhnn / 📸 / 📚 / 🇨🇦.

A great flight to Dublin Finding the perfect backpack for the trip. Love that thing! Seeing Stevie Wonder in concert, the whole reason we are in Ireland right now 😊 The amazing autumn colours everywhere The best thing is that I could do everything I wanted without fail. Being so in tune with my body is a blessing.

I am in my first long-term relationship right now. Context: I have not had a long-term relationship before this my thirty-eighth year because 1) I'm not pretty and don't use makeup to give myself the appearance of pretty, so nobody looks at me, and 2) I am shy and really struggle to make the first approach, which is apparently the thing that happens in this modern dating era. I've had twenty years of love songs and romance movies, TV shows, and books influencing how I think a romance is…

I really miss you I regret I repent I hurt Some things just feel right Like a clown in a small car A brown bear yelling yard Colleague, feel some responsibility A being can't survive Without no humility A kiss from a rose? Well, those have thorns Guess I should've been more careful A deer hurts when shot A man hurts when aimed Frolic, for headaches plague us all I really wish you were here I crack I sleep I lie

Hi friends, In October, Scour scoured 1.5 million articles from 34,703 feeds. 164 new users signed up since the last product update email, so welcome to you all! Here's what's changed in the product: 🧠 Smarter Topic MatchingI rebuilt the way Scour determines which content is relevant from the ground up so you'll see more relevant posts and fewer off-topic ones in your feed. During the rebuild, I also replaced the embedding model Scour uses, meaning I am no longer using the sponsored model from…

How jolly. This week, one of my friends asked me to spend a chunk of time with an AI product that he’s vibe-coded and is thinking of turning into a business. I’ve seen some of the output and it doesn’t appeal to me at all, nor do I see how there is a market for what’s being sold. So I said no. I hate being the party pooper, but I so often find myself playing this role. I’m fascinated by how my non-technical friends are putting together websites, games and other artefacts with AI and would love…

Part of the ongoing Big Tech's War on Users series. In April 2016, seventeen newspaper publishers, The New York Times and Tribune Publishing among them, sent a cease-and-desist letter to a brand-new browser company called Brave. Brave's plan was to strip the ads off websites and sell its own in their place, and the publishers called it theft. Brave's reply had a line I keep coming back to. Per Computerworld, the company warned that the letter was "the first shot in a war on all ad-blockers, not…

Thus, living beings might be understood as a remarkable kind of organisation of matter: a bounded, metabolically open, self-maintaining form that gives rise to purposeful, intelligent action. This is key to understanding both the skills of our flesh, and why we can think of ourselves as being ‘deskilled’ today. When we recognise that our bodies are intrinsically intelligent in their organisation, we don’t need a conscious agent beyond the flesh. The body is the agent from which intelligence…

I like lists and keep many of them on my homepage. I don’t trust much external services and don’t want to have half a dozen accounts to track 🎧 music I listen, 📖 books I read, 🎮 videogames I play, 🎬 movies and 📺 series I watch, or 🌎 countries I visited. I regret not starting tracking all these things earlier. And the reason I write it now is that I updated my books page with tons of book covers and fancy stacks. You should have your own favorite lists too!

On the last evening of my work trip, I finally figured out how to set up a WireGuard VPN container and port forwarding for my home server to use my travel router (GL-MT3000) to connect to home and have a WiFi network giving me my home IP address (including IPv6). But I guess now it’s a solid and secure setup for future travels. wg-easy is pretty simple to setup. Theoretically, I could use NetBird with an exit node on all my devices, but I prefer something that doesn’t need an extra app running…

The post NEO – What’s New appeared first on Hugh Howey.

Every time I come back here, the process of getting from A to B seems to have changed. At some point I’ll probably get locked out entirely, either from the account itself or from the posting process. And to be honest, that will probably be a relief for all concerned. (The image above is from the route of one of our local parkruns and perhaps isn’t quite as useful as its creators imagined.)

Just posted about @sodir.org on @socialspec.org. I'm loving all the activity around #SocialSpec. 📈 Next up: @pfefferle.org's SocialSpec plugin for Wordpress should be available in the Wordpress Plugin Directory (any day now). 👏 Let's go! 📈

Judith Moore; or, Fashioning a PipeJoanna E. Wood101 pagesA very slim paperback printed on demand at Amazon's Bolton, Ontario fulfillment centre, I'm to blame for this book's existence. It was ordered in the Covid spring of 2022, just after I'd finished Joanna E. Wood's debut The Untempered Wind (1894), a book I described on the Lost Ladies of Lit podcast as the only novel, ever, where I actually wept." You can hear me begin to go on about it at 36:45.Had it not been for The Untempered Wind, I…

I basically took a whole week off, thus my weeknotes are late as well. I was behind on my Monthly Summary and this had to wait for a little longer. Nothing too bad though. This week was jam-packed with stuff, lots of updates on things that happened, stuff I bought, places I went to, and food I ate, from October 27 to November 2, 2026! 🛬 I flew on an airplane! It was my first trip in about five (maybe eight) years, and well, even though the trip was only about an hour long, it was still a pretty…

I had thoughts today, and a lot of sadness. I have been feeling extremely sad. I miss you a lot. I miss spending time with you, and feeling that comfort. I think I am in part missing a fantasy, because my safety was not real. Looking back I do not think the things I asked of you were too much. To some degree I hope you are confronted with the man you wish to be in the time you spend away from me. I hope you work on battling with your addiction on your own, until you are at a point where you do…

There’s been a lot of change up at Stinchcombe this year, with fencing and grazing introduced on the SSSI. But oddly enough, I hadn’t actually walked that part of the common all year. Today was a good opportunity to drive over to Leaf & Ground and walk a nice circular to look at progress. I must admit, I was bowled over to the improvement in the grassland already. The steep slopes had been cut and raked (I guess for the final time) and although I didn’t see them, the cattle have been doing…

"Tech companies are spying on us" is a truism at this point. Endless articles and investigations have ensured that everybody is aware: they are spying on us, they listen to our conversations, they know more about us than we know ourselves, they know you're going to be fired or become pregnant or become depressed before it happens... I have never felt anything close to that. I get shown ads for products I just purchased. All this spying, machine learning, big data result in "he bought a…

After my last post Domen graciously reached out to talk about my use case and to gather my feedback and he very quickly spun out a branch that became out-of-tree devenvs. I have been using devenv --from daily for months, and it works famously. I can store a configuration for running outside a client's repo their repo and track it in git. This allows me to be reliable and reproducible across client commitments, without polluting their source control with Evan-specific config files. (Not everyone…

Following up on my revival of a MacBook Air with Fedora, I decided to install Silverblue onto my old MacBookPro13,2 (the 2016, T1 Touch Bar model), which I once (somewhat naively) termed my mid-life-crisis laptop. With the benefit of hindsight, I can now finally come to terms with why this particular hardware revision is much maligned in general, and revisiting it was an interesting experience because: I had forgotten how bad the keyboard is The Touch Bar is worse than useless in general, and…

I thought you might like to hear a recording of piece I heard a couple of weeks ago at the National Concert Hall in Dublin. This is Laniakea by French composer Camille Pepin which is inspired by our Local Supercluster of galaxies which astronomers have named Laniakea, an Hawaiian word meaning “immeasurable heaven”. Stylistically the music reminds me a lot of John Adams, and I don’t mean that in a negative way!

There are a bunch of extremely tight races in LA!! You should vote in them. I am unable to vote for any of the LA City specific races, like Mayor, because I live in Culver City, a separate municipality which is nearly completely surrounded by the city. I spend the vast majority of my waking hours every single day in LA-the-City, however, so the outcome of those races are particularly important to me. If you're voting for mayor, I think you should vote for Nithya Raman. She is not actually a…
