Feeling sleepy is common during eternal Caturday.

OK so for whatever reason, there is no way to force my 2017 21.5" iMac to boot Big Sur Public Beta from an extenal SSD automatically. I can only do it if I boot up cold while holding down the Option key and selecting the disk labeled "EFI Boot".

Ooof, that installation process was rather painful…but it's *finally* all set up and running pretty smoothly so far. It'll take a while to install a few custom apps and set up some developer tools to try out. Stay tuned! 😁

The stock market is a reminder that most of the money that’s moved is never in service of people who need it the most and justifies the elimination of systems that keep it up.

I’m thinking about Webmention feeds and I’m noticing now how special they might be compared to some other feeds. For example, if I wanted to do something that just spat out every Webmention I’ve received, that’d get noisy fast if I have a very busy stream of incoming Webmentions. I do want to consider generating a feed that’d resort itself based on the last recent activity but also provide context about the volume of activity that happened on said resource. Perhaps making the specific feed of activity of said resource be the target of the feed as well as linking to the resource in question would work. Lots of variability here to be honest and I’ve an interest in keeping the ā€œhowā€ this works very straight forward. This would be all stuff you’d see in a social reader, for some context.

Someone said that Harley has a New Yorker accent and I felt compelled to inform them that it’s a strictly white Italian one in New York, but not a New Yorker one.

This year is totally inverted from past years. I'm *not* installing the Public Beta of iOS/iPadOS 14 on my devices. But I *am* installing the beta of macOS Big Sur fresh on an external SSD to test out, because I'm so freaking excited about this release. It's a new era of the Mac!
