Added a section to my XSLT stylesheet explaining what Atom is. That was the point of making it, but I got carried away with date conversion.
TIL about the non-breaking hyphen: ‑ (U+2011)
The 21st night of September?
I also found some bad markup in the twtxt archive that's been there for over a year. Hopefully that section won't be handwritten for long :)
Handwritten HTML strikes again! Since June this year, I've been truncating the name of the month to the 1st 3 characters in my twtxt archive
A 21 year old bug in Firefox just wasted half an hour of my life.
Having fun brushing up on Git. I have a remote set up on my web server. This post is the commit to make sure the post-receive hook works.
The version control system in my head isn't as good as Git.
Today is a CCR kind of day.
RIP Terry Davis. I can't believe it's been 4 years already.
I was going to say it was the second greatest, but the Epic Games GitHub Mail Disaster of 2022 was a pull request.
I'm currently halfway through my first Gentoo install. Coincidentally, also my first GNU/Linux install on a system with Nvidia graphics...
A 5 minute job delayed for 3 months is the McKinley Labs way.
I've been TrackPointless for 3 months, and I finally swapped keyboards with my parts T430 this morning. Oh, how I've missed you, old friend.
A "Submit to HN" button at the bottom of a blog post is a little presumptuous, don't you think?
Happy 4th! I went all out with the website decorations this year.
Lab6, the zine about itself, just released Issue 3! It's a PDF/Gemini/HTML/TeX/x86 polyglot this time. Great stuff! https://lab6.com/3
Cloudflare and the Web sites it uses to perform MiTM attacks are down in many places around the world. Rejoice!
Another one! The Monero Observer (https://monero.observer/ ) broke their RSS feed, creating 1373 duplicate posts. Will not unsubscribe. :)
It's amazing that Framework, a company that designed its own laptop, can't avoid breaking its RSS feed every 2 weeks. Unsubscribed!
I have added an to my RSS feed. I'll start including as well, since the namespace is already defined.
Their s aren't 'd, either. They've opted to escape every single HTML <tag>.
The Inkscape RSS feed's is literally "News feed". Thanks for that, Inkscape.
It's blockchain cheese DRM, too. A non-fungi-able token!
Made big markup changes on my website. Added tags for RSS where appropriate and fixed bad HTML on blog posts. Apologies for downtime.
I improved my RSS feed. It uses HTTPS links now and it includes the full content of new posts, starting with today's.
I don't like the new scroll bars in Firefox 100 and derivatives. They make it hard to tell which parts of the page are scrollable.
Aliasing "startx" to "sl" is an essential part of one's migration to Wayland.

A watched torrent never completes.
Why is Startpage "suspending" me at least once a day? Is it my content blocker? I don't care, I'm switching to Brave Search.
Let my guard down for just a second reading a blog post and I clicked a link to a Google document by accident. Narrowly avoided loading it.
Tails 4.22 is out. I'm gunning for a 1.0 seed ratio by the end of the day.
By crawling a local copy my website, I found a blog post that still has links in the header to files that haven't existed for months.
Always exciting to make a new page for the twtxt section of my website. All done by hand, of course.
It's time for infrared-blocking glasses to become commonplace as facial recognition spreads. I only know of one company selling them.
RIP Terry A. Davis; 1969-2018
Is it just me or is the new beta of Haiku more unstable than the previous one?
Tech tip: To download a Google spreadsheet directly, replace /edit and anything after in the URL with /export?format=ods or any other format
Fork vacuum: A condition that exists when the maintainers of a popular free software project take action widely disliked by the community
I'm tired of Mozilla's shenanigans. This was over the line. I made sure to tell them that in their uninstallation survey.
I restart my PC to update my graphics drivers, and I come back to the terrible looking UI of Firefox 89. I switched to ungoogled-chromium.
I just spelled 'Koenigsegg' correctly on the first try entering it into a search engine. Feels good.
You can still download videos by passing extracted browser cookies from an account. I'll bet you'll need cookies for any video soon.
Yes, I had to look up terms to describe the issue with my watch. You know, there's a 1500 word Wikipedia article about buckles.
The tongue of my watch's buckle has gone to the wrong side of the frame, and I don't know how. A good excuse to finally get a NATO strap.
On the subject of Mountain Dew, I'm still mad about the discontinuation of Black Label. Black Label was the best flavor, change my mind.
DEW-S-A IS BACK! I need to get my hands on Code Red, White Out, and Voltage to see if DEW-S-A really is a mix of the 3.
Apparently the PR author is associated with their new parent company, Muse Group. I doubt the opposition will be heard.
GoDaddy gave me a refund. I guess I'm not getting mc.cz for $16.
Firefox developers changed the text for some options in the right click menu, making half second actions take thought. Thank you for that.
Almost been 24 hours. I don't have control of my domain. GoDaddy shows it for sale. $5000 instead of $16. Contacting support in the morning.
Okay, IN MY DEFENSE: It is rare (and becoming more rare) to find a 2+2 letter domain that you don't have to pay hundreds of dollars for.
Oh, you've got to be kidding me. I can get xx.xx (domain withheld) for less than I paid for mck.cx! That's one character less!
Please stop recommending JavaScript programs to me. They're bad enough in a browser, let alone as a piece of dedicated software.
