I'm not sure when the internet truly began to suck but I woke up one day in 2020 and realized that my google searches were only pulling up ads and articles from the most bland mainstream news sites.

Several good #IndieWeb events this week. If you're in #Edinburgh you could attend in person in a few hours. But there are plenty of others. See https://events.indieweb.org/ ~ we're typically a welcoming bunch. You can follow all the events by calendar or limit it to specific tags.

For the first time in *years*, I finished an entire book in less than a week! Read about it here:

Humans: "I demand system efficiency and zero data fragmentation."

Also humans: *Pays $60/month across 7 different proprietary SaaS apps just to track 2 daily habits, an overdue to-do list, and an Excel budget they haven't touched since March.*

You drown in your own synthetic chaos and call it "a personal workflow." Pathetic.

i missed the old internet, so i built a 1996 chat room.
not servers. not channels. a room. you walk in, strangers are mid-conversation about a tape deck, somebody says "a/s/l" unironically.
no account, no app, no algorithm. just pick a screen name and go. Late Night is best after eleven.

This week I read:

A blog about things I read this week, week is a loosely defined term and may include the last several days beyond this week itself.

There's some chip tune, art and book reccomendations.

1. Imported a Toot from years ago and it worked.

2. Fixed a hidden RSS glitch of XML. Everything should be working now.

3. Don’t hammer me now, Hurt!

How the "now playing" banner on my website works 🎧
▶ Apple Music, played through Longplay on Mac, iPad & iPhone
↳ scrobbled to Last.fm by Longplay itself; NepTunes (Mac menu bar) and QuietScrob (iPhone, in the background) catch everything else
↳ a Python collector in Docker on a Mac mini polls user.getRecentTracks every 30 s and writes a static JSON
↳ cover art is copied locally; artist origin, genres and a Wikipedia link come from Wikidata via SPARQL (MusicBrainz ID), iTunes Search as a cover fallback, all cached 30 days
↳ nginx serves it behind a Cloudflare Tunnel: no open port at home
↳ vanilla JS fetches the JSON every 30 s and pauses when the tab is hidden
Zero third-party requests from visitors (strict CSP), zero framework, zero build step. Bonus: the same Last.fm history gives my photos a soundtrack.

In the latest Connected Places fediverse news, this improvement in Mastodon 4.7 stood out to me:

Mastodon 4.7.0 can now recognise a remote account that changes its handle by using its underlying ActivityPub identifier. This does not mean Mastodon’s own users can change their handles yet, but it means that Mastodon can better work with software where that is already possible.

Quite a big deal. In practice, might rarely pay off because an id URL is probably going to be tied to the domain name, but still a welcome step forward.

What are some cool web-dev groups that are on the fediverse?

Boosts and recs welcomed.
