After much consideration I’ve decided to stop doing the live stream and the 24/7 ambient sea stream. I can’t my head around everyone not on iOS not being able to tune in.

Im not sad about it, it just means streamlining and fine tuning my site in a different way

I'm off to the big city for a couple of days, so no big BashBBS updates until I'm back.

But fuck me, it's lovely to be able to SSH into piewpiew from wherever I am and read my own little news feed!

I don't need a $5,000 MacBook.

All I need is a Raspberry Pi Zero. The ORIGINAL one. Not even the Zero 2! :D

THE FUTURE IS NOW! 💾☕

A dip in self confidence, harsh self-talk and extreme procrastination.

OutPost 1.4 for the Mac is out, and it adds a URL scheme so other apps can start a post. A link like outpost://new?title=…&text=… opens a new post with the title and text already filled in. That's handy for sending a highlight from a read-later app such as GoodLinks, or for a shortcut.

It never posts anything on its own, and whatever you were writing is kept as a draft. It's coming to iOS testers soon too.

Do you have #perfectionist tendencies and try to #blog but you have like 100 unfinished drafts?

Same!

This week I have been finding it a helpful exercise to look at my massive pile of drafts, and try to find opportunities to merge half finished (or 1/4 finished, or 1/8th finished) ideas together into a single post.

I've culled from ~30 unfinished ideas down to 6.

They may end up being absolutely whackadoo articles, but they'll be finished.

Perfect is the enemy of done, etc.

If you cite a Google Search URL for an “interesting” or especially a new term, use the "npfr=1" query parameter to force Google to return results for your literal search, instead of auto-correcting it, either to a related older term, or potentially something new and popular in the future.

E.g. If I wanted to direct you to search results for the word "faschadenfreude“, I would share this link:

https://www.google.com/search?q=faschadenfreude&nfpr=1

Without the "nfpr" parameter, the query would have redirected to showing you results for merely "schadenfreude“.

Due to some amount of recency bias in search (and LLM) indices, news and other events can impact what words and phrases are these services redirect you to. Since new words and phrases can and will get more attention, there’s no way to predict if or when any search you link to will be redirected to something else in the future.

The only way to be sure a Google search results link in a blog post shows what you intend is to add the "&nfpr=1" URL query parameter to the link in your post.

Postcard from the terminal: Neat Finds #05: Homepages, Pocket Synths and a Server in a QR Code

Issue five. Most of this batch is about places where people put their own words: directories of personal sites, a homepage host, a couple of blogging platforms, a forum, a guestbook, and servers for protocols most people have never heard of. Toward the end it gets…

"On the drive home, we talked about how everyone we know is fighting their own battles. Every life, no matter how perfect it may seem, shows cracks under close scrutiny. But that’s okay. With other people beside you, it’s worthwhile."

Your site might be politely asking Google to ignore it.
Starters and preview builds often ship with noindex or a blocking robots.txt. Check both on production before you wonder why nobody finds you.
Save this and follow for more plain-words web checks.

Feature request for #atproto apps:

Add and show metadata about which tool was used to eg. post a Bluesky post.

Twitter used to do this and it helped discoverability of third party apps.

The #IndieWeb documents their approach here: indieweb.org/h-x-app

Here's the Archive page in Persistwise. Each post from your feed gets one line, newest first, with a status for each copy:

Wayback: saving, trying again, or saved
IPFS: saving, trying again, or pinned
Saved copy: ready

"Trying again" means it's retrying by itself, so there's nothing to babysit. A post only counts as archived when both the Wayback snapshot and the IPFS pin are done, and each finished copy is a link you can open.
