Holy cow, changing my PDS to use api.pop2 is SO MUCH FASTER. I saw this tip at the time but forgot to make the change. Remembered it just now when my Following timeline was broken and this change both fixed it and was a massive performance improvement.

The most first world problem of first world problems. quasa.io/media/the-st... Why is this a thing?!

Used to: Run service in `screen` or from inittab Now: Create docker image, push to registry, write 1000 lines of YAML to run the thing, upload to API via a JSON translation layer, write more YAML to make the thing available via a proxy, probably also create some virtual load balancer

There is a deep and often unremarked irony that the computing industry, in a decades-long industry-wide push to make everything easy, has made everything much harder.

Apparently the UK site Bookshop.org has now expanded to provide ebooks as well as just physical (this was standard in the US but has only just reached the UK site).

I'm launching a new Go-related series named Accepted. For each accepted proposal, I'll write a one-page summary that explains the change in simple terms. This should (hopefully) be the easiest way to keep up with upcoming changes. The first issue is already out!

Sometimes I feel like Ed Davey is a bit fed up of saying “Liberal Democrats” all the time - he always rushes through those two words! Ever thought of renaming the party, Ed? 😄

I have no idea what this guy was saying. I'm 42.

I've had a saga trying to do what I thought would be a simple migration to a new homelab machine, so thought I'd write it up. I also took the opportunity to try out leaflet.pub.

Oh, no, Starling. This is not a good change. That new logo and font are awful. At least the old one was quite uniquely Starling. Now it's just an S? Really? The colours are pretty gross, too.

Bring back the mini already

Reform MP Lee Anderson has unveiled his education plan: “The Union Flag at every school and sing the national anthem every day.” Good thinking, Lee. That will make the UK competitive on the international stage.
