finished noodling (for now) on a tiny browser tool to dither images in two colours, forked from @eli_oat :] I added a few features like colour picking to make it extra cute.

try it out at https://orf.place/tools ~

this has been my first time writing javascript in a year, in a very ad-hoc way. I tried optimising it a bit but idk if it’s ‘good code’ so I’m open to feedback from anyone who cares about that sort of thing!

open mentions was built because of #WebMentions as it seemed such a trivial yet useful idea that we fully expected such a thing to exist.

It’s things like this that make the internet truly great.

Corporate internet platforms are locking down the information on the Internet more and more. If you always thought about starting a blog, I guess, today is a good day. ⌨️

If I were to setup a service to recieve and send SMS to myself, how could I go about this? Is SMS gateway the term I am looking for? Is there something simpler?

It is ONLY for myself.

Can any Wordpress folks give me some advice? I don't like my website reaching out to Gravatar to provide a profile picture; both for myself when I post and for anyone else using my website. Is it possible to stop this? And if so, is it possible for my site itself to provide the profile picture, so that it can still be available via Activitypub? Many thanks! #wordpress #indieweb #activitypub #selfhosting

I've made some updates to my links page, https://flamedfury.com/links with a new section menu and added a couple new web directories that I was missing

are there any other services like stolen camera finder that search for photos that include the camera’s serial number in the exit data?

years ago my new canon g7x mark ii camera was stolen and i still hope to one day find it, though the possibility is so remote.

i want to enjoy photography again! i have a blog to post to now!

Back down the rabbit hole of HTTP signatures + ActivityPub today. Fixed an issue, and reviewed the new community group draft. Don’t feel great that my code mostly resembles the make friends and verify requests blog post from 6 years ago rather than newer docs.
