There are some nice metaphors in there.

if i started offering to host ClassicPress installs for like $5/mo including 1 custom design (maybe per year? maybe additional customs for one-time fees?) would anyone be interested?
gonna tag this as #indieweb even though it's a little different... but still a way to have your own site!

“Name your contacts like a psychopath” by Nithitsuki
«I’m a uni student, and that involves meeting many new people, and inevitably saving many contacts for countless occasions, even if some of them only get used once or twice.»

Just Grep It
As I continue to move my documents from the cloud and make them platform agnostic by converting them to plain text, I wanted and needed a universal way to search across all my files by tag or content. Since everything is in plain text, there is no reason to over complicate it. I can just grep it.

I've wanted my website to be the main source of truth for training data for some time. Here is a run, with OS mapping of the track, elevation and metrics timelines, and key stats, implemented on my site. I've still about 500 broken activities to fix, but I'm very happy with the output so far.
Okay, my website rewrite is online now! What do you think (especially about the design)?
It might go down again this evening because I want to re-enable the full bot protection. After that, a proper build setup and a refactor are done, I'll start developing my own IndieAuth provider.

“Weeknotes: Week #21 (2026)” by Harsh Shandilya
@msfjarvis: «Honestly not even sure how I feel about this week»

A question for everyone selling things online:
What is the one product photo in your store that you have re-shot the most times?
There is always THAT ONE product. The hero piece. Re-photographed 4 times in 18 months and still not converting.
Reply with what it is and how many attempts. No judgment.

Should I deploy my website rewrite now (after the poll is over) or refactor it first?
It currently clones some (relatively large) collections for some requests. Refactoring would mean moving them into a temporary SQLite database and only selecting what I need from there. I might also optimize the caching headers…
Bot protection & IndieAuth integration would be the next things on my todo list after that. (But they would life in their own services.)

Now!
Refactor first
Another life update, in which I've received a letter all the way from Scotland, did some website tinkering, and missed out on spotting a goldfinch by sleeping in:
