@Nickiquote @firstdogonthemoon We were promised a global village powered by curiosity, kindness, and cat pics.
We got an ad-fueled rage machine that spies on us…
but hey, still cat pics, so 🐈⬛✨
Shoutout to the tech bros who broke the internet and got rich enough to name their kids after Wi-Fi passwords. 🙃

Here's someone who made the jump to a self hosted solution with some technical details on their migration
I wrote a blog post on "Entrypoints to the Indieweb", in which I share how I integrate some wholesome indieweb-surfing into everyday life.

Just as on Twitter, seeing insanely long threads here that'd work so much better as a blog post. One the other day was 45 parts or so! Seems a waste to write something interesting in a format that's difficult to read/share/find again later. #BringBackBlogs
Another short blog post, this time about my first Mastodon Bot @stateofRDAP and the RDAP space that it observes

My February contribution to #BringBackBlogs:
Email plus aliases allow you to create unlimited unique email addresses by putting a + and word after your user name. It’s useful for all sorts of reasons and many people seem to not know about this feature, so I wrote about it.
#BringBackBlogs inspired me to blow some dust from mine, revealing a bunch of posts I hadn't finished or published 😅 Here's one of them. #HLS #HLSJS #VideoDev

I was busy writing a grant proposal in January, but here is my first contribution to #BringBackBlogs.
When I was at Stripe, I would see dates like 3/4 and have to know if the person who wrote it was in SF or Dublin to know if they meant March 4 or April 3.
There is a date format internationally recognized and endorsed by multiple industry standards bodies. It's the only one you should use with an international team. I wrote about it.
I wanted to add my #PersonalWebsite to the #BringBackBlogs thing and realized the signups are closed :blobcatderpy:
I checked the page many times and forgot to do it until today lol
At least I met the requirements of a minimum of 3 posts for January. Unlike *some* blogs I checked in their directory :blobfoxannoyed:
Finished 3rd blogpost for the month, just in time to meet the #BringBackBlogs requirements 🥳
This one's more of a technical guide on setting up WiFi on a minimal Debian server. Had trouble finding a comprehensive guide, so sharing my knowledge & experience on the matter.
That's what blogging is all about, right? 😊

Greetings new #mastodon followers! As part of the #BringBackBlogs initiative I post on my blog every weekday. Happy Monday! https://www.operationpuppet.com/2023/01/16/morning-coffee-blog-ogres/
How to use Tasker to enable locking your screen with Google Assistant
Ever since I started being able to talk to my Android phone, I've wanted to be able to tell it to lock my screen. And ever since then, Google Assistant has stubbornly refused to do it. I can't imagine why Google hasn't implemented this feature; they obvio

I'm out of practice with #OCaml, so I'm going through #RealWorldOCaml (first edition) to refamiliarise myself with it while noting down anything that's broken or missing: https://keith.gaughan.ie/rwocaml-1.html
This first entry just covers chapter one.

Why you should stop circulating that study about COVID in poop from airplanes (a.k.a. please stop screwing up the messaging about COVID safety)
It's a bad study, it doesn't prove anything about whether it is or isn't safe to fly, you should stop circulating it, and you should stop and think about the impact that catastrophizing flying is having on COVID being taken seriously (or not) by the public.

Behind hedges and overgrowth, lies the Cimetière des Légendes. A collection of 1950s/1960s French cars, rusting and falling apart as decades pass.
FYI all my photos have a supporting blog article and additional photos on my website. Although I may not always include it with every toot, if you want a link let me know and I will share it.
You can check out more cars and read the #blog for this one over here https://www.obsidianurbexphotography.com/leisure/cimetiere-des-legendes-lost-panhard-france/

Why you should not use RegScale
Companies that engage in slimy marketing practices tend to be slimy companies. RegScale fits that description, so you should avoid doing business with them.

Today's #JikBlogFlashback (https://blog.kamens.us/2023/01/02/your-data-is-yours-backing-up-your-mastodon-data-to-protect-against-server-failures-and-account-suspensions/) is actually a new blog posting in honor of #BringBackBlogs month (https://bringback.blog/). Here I explain what I'm doing (and you can too!) to regularly back up my Mastodon data so that I won't lose it if my server goes away. Thanks to @kensanata for writing the tool to make this possible!
Oh NO! I just discovered that one of my favorite author Twitter accounts, which would cross-post to their Instagram, has stopped the public Twitter posting and now only uses the locked Instagram. Kudos for objecting to the new owner of one, but the other's owner has plenty of problems too AND it's locked to accounts. 😖 #BringBackBlogs
