📝 Organizing and archiving music #Music #Tech #Plex
Every time I purchase digital music it gets downloaded and archived the exact same way.

📝 Social media's broken (and that's awesome) #Tech #Socialmedia
Post on Mastodon, post on your own site, post on Bluesky, skip the algorithmic soup that is Threads (or — if you do — enable federation so I can follow you absent the noise) and please, please skip posting on the platform owned by the world's dullest edgelord.

@npub1gzl…kk4u @npub18tc…e06t I haven't made my way to Crocs yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if I find myself wearing them before too long.

The older I get the more comfortable I am wearing socks with sandals.

@npub1xed…yg9w have you tried tailwind?

Probably a good time to delete as many possible apps, accounts and serves with access to your location.

@npub18tc…e06t 😅 I’m technically inclined (and — I suppose — biased as a result) but the presence of flagship instances seems comparable to what Bluesky does (and will) offer.

🔗 My Modern CSS Reset via @npub1nhc…zqa0 #Development #Webdev #Css
How many of us start every web project by copy-and-pasting Eric Meyer’s famous CSS reset?

I'm puzzled by the interest in Bluesky and Threads given the ample historical evidence we have for how for profit social media platforms trend over the medium/long term.

📝 Dynamic pages with 11ty and Cloudflare workers #Eleventy #Development #Webdev #Javascript
I was rendering about 3300 pages every time my 11ty site built — probably overkill. About 615 artist pages, 1200+ movie pages, 500 show pages, 500 for books and ~35 for genres. Whew. Build times hovered at about a minute (still very impressive!) but would only ever increase.

🔗 Creation and Curation via Manu Moreale#Ai #Tech #Blogging
I was listening to a podcast episode the other day while I was driving and in there there was a thought that stuck with me: the idea that the web is moving from a creator economy to a curator economy.

🔗 Home-cooked web apps via @npub15gs…msz8 #Development #Tech
Recently, my attention has been focused on building web apps to suit my very specific needs. The first one was a financial dashboard of sorts, where I took the data from my YNAB account and built out custom reports so help me make sure we’re hitting our investment goal and spending according to our values.
