The winter bird feeders are set up.

Rewired my Omega enlarger. Now I’m ready to mount it horizontally and make large prints from 4x5 negatives.

I hope Stephen Lemay’s first contribution as Head of UI Design at Apple is to make the active window (and buttons) in macOS clear and distinct.

Seeing these two posts on Threads stacked one on top of the other is 👨‍🍳 💋 👌 cc @marcoarment who must be dancing in the dunes on Fire Island (which is not part of Long Island, I hear).

@rileytestut Dumb question (be warned) I cannot figure out how to play Super Mario Bros with my wife on @delta ? Is there no way to play 2 player mode?

@vhbelvadi I just read your post re: tolerating the uninteresting and I agree - you need to leave room for discovery. I cull seasonally. https://cdevroe.com/2025/03/19/spring-is-for-unsubscribing/ In addition to that routine, in NetNewswire I have a "trialing” and a "subscribed" folder. I […]

Beginning to draw plans to build an all-new darkroom in the basement. More proof that film photographers hate money.

I'm a boredom zealot.

@ramsey Any chance you are familiar with PHP's libxml implementation via Domdocument and how, perhaps, there was a recent release that may introduce issues? PHP 8.3.27 with libxml 2.10.x or higher having all sorts of issues (especially with encoding). I don't have an enormous amount of […]

Just donated to the Mastodon organization. https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors#donate

It is imperative that we all add boredom to our daily routine.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@Gargron/115569820207257167 Thank you @Gargron !

After a year of home renovations cramping my creative spaces — it is time once again to get the cameras firing again and the darkroom in order.

Where and how do y'all store your #ebike batteries over winter?

@siracusa Did you see any indication of whether or not Steam Frame could/would support AirPlay? :)

Setting aside the rest of this evening to learn every feature of the iPhone 17 Pro Max. And enjoying a martini.

I purchased multiple licenses of Simply Static Pro for #wordpress and it works fairly well for small websites. But it is far too slow for a personal blog like mine with a lot of posts (30 minute build times, 🥵). And their support refuses to help unfortunately. When I built my own SSG it took […]

@miaq I noticed in your “2% Braver” post that the link to Nieves Gonnzalez' IG is broken because it contains an @. :) Thought I'd let you know! (Thanks for sharing it!!)

@caseyliss in your defense, I’ve had my new iPhone for just a few hours and have already dropped it twice. I think they come with a special slippery coating right from the factory. 🤝

Went from an iPhone 12 Pro Max (take that @nazhamid!) to an iPhone 17 Pro Max. The update feels meaningful. Two new buttons! Now, to plan an outing to put these new camera sensors to the test.

Tonight I watched an interview with Bryan Adams from 9 years ago where he said he switched to digital and I must admit I’m a little shook. I thought for sure he was still primarily working with film even today.

Recently I’ve taken to finding every waterfall in an area I travel to. Most of the time the people that live in the nearby area don’t even go to them. Highly recommend.

Bring back forums for public communities! Discord or Slack keep knowledge holed up within them. Forums can live on forever.

Does anyone run Windows 10 in a VM on M4 Pro? What is the latest way people are doing this? Virtual Box? Dual boot?

@cabel curious... In Transmit, if I’m uploading say, 45,000 HTML files... and I hit "stop”... why does Transmit not just stop?

Purchased Rotundo from @simplebits for an upcoming project. (I modified the G slightly, but he won't mind) Beautiful font work as always from Dan. 🔗 https://simplebits.shop/products/rotundo

Good buddy Frank Chimero gave a great talk at last week’s Kinference conference in Brooklyn and now it’s online as an essay! Beyond the Machine is one of the most clear-eyed takes on creative existence, coexistence, and resistance in a world with AI. I love the framing of over/beside/under when […]

with hesitation... thoughts on llms https://cdevroe.com/2025/10/27/hesitant-thoughts-on-llms/

@Gargron I wish it were easier to search for Mastodon accounts that are from my area. Am I missing a search operator or anything that may help? (assuming the account makes this information public in some way)

I remember these days of Mastodon. They were fun times. So many accounts have been created and abandoned though — with those people opting to be on platforms where people complain and spew hate. Bring them back here to share knowledge and art and fun projects! […]

I posted on Threads. About Threads. https://www.threads.com/@cdevroe/post/DP1k-SXkeq0

Software development is impossible to keep up with. Everything changes every single day. Our to-do list is always longer at the end of the day than it was at the beginning. And that is totally fine. I recommend being totally OK with never being done, constant change, and impossible tasks. I […]

I walked into a small town music store today. I’m not a musician, but I could tell by the look of the place I should go in. Spoke to the owner. Told him I shot on film and asked him if I could make his portrait. We had a nice conversation. He’s been in this location 3 years, it used to be a […]

Can we please move past the “everyone hates everyone else online” phase of the social web? It is so exhausting. Have coffee together. Jump on a video chat. Shake hands. But please stop quote tooting one another and arguing.

This week we released two important updates that set us up for a lot of future things for Hubbub -- our #wordpress plugin that adds sharing and follow buttons and mailing list growth tools. If you've never checked it out, now would be a good time. Expect fast paced updates. 🔗 Hubbub Lite […]

🚀 Signboard 0.4.0 adds due dates to cards. It also lays the foundation for just about any card metadata (such as labels). 🔗 https://github.com/cdevroe/signboard/releases/tag/0.4.0 #opensource #kanban

If Mastodon adds Starter Packs I sure as a wet willy better be on someone’s “Useless Tooters” pack.

While this solves our problems, we are far from the only Fediverse project that could use some funding and we want to support the growth of the entire ecosystem. So to give back to the open social web, we’re also donating $500,000 total to these incredible Fediverse-related projects 🎉 […]

On the weekend I managed to fix several longstanding bugs in Unmark and a beta of version 2025.2 is now available. 🔗 https://github.com/cdevroe/unmark/pull/299 The beta is running on the hosted version which no longer has a free tier and we increased the yearly fee. Of course, you may always […]

Just renewed my YouTube Premium plan for another year. It is the only thing I pay Google for. You can save a fair amount by purchasing an annual plan via a web browser (rather than the app). Finding the annual plan is near impossible, so here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/premium/annual

Computing devices of all sizes are so fast that I no longer see a strong need for native apps. Consider building a web stack app (preferably open source) for your next project. The open web is our app store.

Recently purchased a few tracks from A Unicorn Masquerade on Bandcamp (who also goes by Bread on Penguins on YouTube). https://unicornmasquerade.bandcamp.com

☕ + @sitenonsite + coding… 😊

Signboard is now available for Linux (in addition to macOS and Windows). Here it is running on Arch / #Omarchy Thanks to everyone that has installed the app despite its newness. I'm building this very slowly and for me (I love kanban!) but am thankful […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Signboard 0.3.1 is now available. It includes a new card note editor (thanks to OverType) with custom themes for light and dark mode. This update means Signboard cards now support lists, checklists, links, headings, etc. And, clicking the card ID will open […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

This is a big big problem and I really hope it is fixed in a less expensive and destructive way soon. https://www.manton.org/2025/09/22/as-a-consumer-i-never.html

We’re taking another step in building a sustainable financial base as a non-profit. Today, we’re announcing new hosting and support offerings, tailored for larger organisations and public institutions. These enable organisations to own their social identities, on their own infrastructure […]

I've found the best wallpaper for Liquid Glass!! https://joehornerprints.com. He sells packs for $7. They make for gorgeous backgrounds, just bought a set.

First toot from #omarchy on a 2012 Macbook Pro. Arch Linux (plus all the bells and whistles that come along with Omarchy) runs about as fast as possible even on this old hardware with spinning disks! Fun to play with.
