I couldn't find a modern function to check if a font is available on a web page or not. A few hours later: Check if a Font is Available on a Web Page with JavaScript
In the ever going cat and mouse game with AI scrapper bots it seems Anubis is not enough, and use of Cloudflare is warranted. Using Cloudflare results in federation policy issues though. Is there really no cheap anti-AI bot proxy service HQ’d in the EU or otherwise not in the US? Can’t a gal have her money for fun tea and dolls, fight AI, and follow other artists?
These options are sucky:
- Deploy #Cloudflare anti-AI bot shielding. Get defed’d from any artists on MastodonArt or other stuff ran by WelshPixie on top of other instances with a similar policy
- Let all my stuff get slurped up by AI scrapper bots to appease other fediverse instances so I can continue to follow other artists

We just posted an update on Patreon for our supporters!
If you haven't joined yet, we'd love to see you there. You don't have to donate, but we'd be grateful if you were able to.
🎉 It's my #birthday and I've got a new domain name as a gift from my wife. 💕 So, from now on, my blog can be found at https://blog.gridranger.dev
Old links still work and will direct you to the same page.
I'm really happy. I helped others managing their domains from time to time, but I've never had a domain name of my own. It's a great help for staying independent from the tech giants.
It's been years since I implemented an RSS/Atom feed myself, and I'm struggling with content encoding for the ATOM <content> element.
From my reading, it should be html-escaped (see first screenshot). But Newsblur and feeder.co are both showing unrendered HTML (second shot).
Are these maybe cached from a previous broken version (as I've been working on this) or is the code wrong?

Any bloggers here? I want to see and read your blogs because I am curious about how others create their blogs, what the topics are about, and the design. 😄☀️

Back in the 1990s.
Text-oriented — no videos, just a few images.
No ads, no beacons, no platform filtering.
Each page had an email address —
you could write to the author directly.
The web was small and hand-made,
pages written in raw HTML, shared without templates.
A slower web —
where we could publish whatever we thought.
We can build that environment again.
OS community: "But you can self-host a #GitHub alternative".
Me: Probably not.
An #UnpopularOpinion on #FLOSS, #selfhosting, and #indieweb.
What GitHub is, and thus what its key features are, differs a lot over users, and use-cases.
Start with asking what Github *is* for the people it now serves, and the use case when you want to replace it.
Some "key features" for projects where I used GitHub are:

Give me a break, and a coffee.

Just pushed a little design refresh to stygiantech.dev
Was able to refactor some code to stop calling useEffect() to swap between light and dark mode for device mockups to keep more of the site rendered server-side
Check it out!
