I know this is freaky for some and the potential for abuse by others is real, but I am superstoked about the possibilities of this for private AI agents as a personal soundboard. www.technologyreview.com/2024/11/20/1...

Have been adding people to the SEO Community Starter Pack over the last week so there are quite a lot on there now. Might be worth a revisit and see if there is anyone you have missed! go.bsky.app/XyMat3

What I really love about Bluesky is how they do custom usernames, which is its own verification (aka checkmark). bsky.social/about/blog/4... If you part of an organization, you can also use that method to verify your connection (e.g. Journalists) using a subdomain. Any hostname can work!

For those joining Bluesky, don't forget to try out deck.blue

I feel like this site's demographics can be described as "still mad about the loss of Google Reader"

Broad core update happening now at Google. Watch for changes folks, and remember: they don’t share specifics around broad core updates. If you drop, it’s likely due to something you already know you need to improve or fix: searchengineland.com/google-relea...

Love this!

I am really enjoying my 3D printer. However after many prints, a small piece of the air guide from my #Ankermake printer fell off. Emailed support, asked for the STL file of the specific part and received it! Printed it and replaced the broken part. All good again! #righttorepair

Reminds me of this XKCD (ht/@xkcd.com):

1. Every user should own their own handle, so they're not living at the pleasure of their namespace overlord. 2. Domains are the only pragmatic solution, and they're already sufficiently decentralized and available now. HT @ansh.bsky.team

Surprised by the robots.txt approach Google is taking as a starting point to publishers copyright concerns for using their data when training LLMs, so I propose a meta tag to benefit publishers. https://searchengineland.com/robots-txt-new-meta-tag-llm-ai-429510

@majestic.com 👋

Google is unable to deduplicate identical articles, so it now recommends syndicated content is noindexed as it can't guarantee it'll honour cross-domain canonical tags. Again, one of the many instances of Google having inherent weaknesses, and then making it the web's problem to solve.

Indeed be careful with the information shared with LLMs you do not own or control.

Wait, shuddup — Substack supports Bluesky?! #NewSubstack

I wrote 16 minutes worth of words in the hopes that @pfrazee.com won't fuck up hashtags on Bluesky. Here's a link to skip the paywall: https://medium.com/chris-messina/hashtags-on-bluesky-ecc9c955b3cd?sk=ff159c67a2e9df0c049d17091b2bf22f

Today I ran out of inodes on my 18TB drive, even though the actual file size of the files was only 50GB and I had "only" 272 million inodes. By reformatting from ext4 to xfs file system I was able to increase the available inodes to 36 billion. So I am good now, well at least for a little while 😉

Check your firewalls and access rules: if you want to use the inspection tools in Search Console, you must allow Google-InspectionTool to access your site (and your clients' sites, if you're a hoster or such)
