I wrote a blog post about how I optimized some PNGs on my website to reduce the filesize. I talk Custom Actions, optipng, and Image Magick commands.

New hVmark Release: v1.6.0
I added two new markers: code and centered text. And the latter accomplishes the task in the most deprecated way possible.

hVmark is my tiny, opinionated markup language: MIT-licensed, intentionally strict, and built to power HisVirusness.com.
at last, thank you all for your patience as i worked through this project! here's a full writeup on the process i went through with the #solarpoweredServer, and what eventually worked. you can build your own off-grid linux server for under $250 USD!
It is a wonderful illustration of how cheap it is getting to run solar panels!

Thanks to @capjamesg for the topic nudge about “museum memories”.
This created a list of more than 30 strong wonderful memories and experiences.
I picked one to start and get it out before the end of the month. It is Musee d’Orsay and the Three Mixed-media Arabs that drew me in so long ago - https://www.vanderwal.net/random/entrysel.php?blog=2141

So apparently rsync is slop now. When I heard, I wanted to drop a quick note on my blog to give an alternative: tar. It doesn’t do everything that rsync does, in particular identifying and skipping up-to-date files, but tar + ssh can definitely accomodate the use case of “transmit all of these files over an SSH connection to another host”.

This is such a silly stance IMO. Purity culture anyone? Are people like Drew going to continue to reduce their list of acceptable software until they’re forced to not us any software because an LLM was used in the pipeline somewhere? Dumb.
Early this morning, Anthropic published version 2.1.88 of Claude Code npm package—but it was quickly discovered that package included a source map file, which could be used to access the entirety of Claude Code's source—almost 2,000 TypeScript files and more than 512,000 lines of code.

Oops!
OkCupid and its owner Match Group reached a settlement with the Trump administration for not telling dating-app customers that nearly 3 million user photos were shared with a company making a facial recognition system. OkCupid also gave the facial recognition firm access to user location information and other details without customers' consent, the Federal Trade Commission said.

Grrr these damn people make me so mad.
در حال حاضر کثیف تر از Gestapo، آیا پلیس تورنتو می تواند تصویر خود را با استخدام یک Mascot جدید احیا کند؟? https://jungyulkim.com/free-press/fa/articles/دموکراسی-canadian-در-معرض-خطر-در-حالی-که-حکومت-بر-توده-ها-بر-مردم.html #News #Art #Canada #NewYork #Toronto #Mob #Crime #Indieweb #Headlines
I read @joel post about unpolished websites recently. While I agree with him, I do have some words of my own... :)

None of this would be possible without support on Patreon. Media ecosystems right now skew towards blockbuster hits, the already-popular getting algorithmically rewarded with more success. If you want to see more independent queer media, check out my work and consider subscribing. #tdov #indieweb

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! I'm Samantha, and I've been blogging about media for a decade now. I focus on demystifying criticism through pop culture, so if concepts like death of the author leave you scratching your head, or you're looking to broaden your artistic horizons, check me out. I like to focus on genre media, especially sci fi, fantasy, and horror, and I have a particular interest in comics and anime:
