Kind: Notes

I get that Aira is expensive to run. However, I would like to point out that I can get an actual honest to God dedicated server from Hurricane frickin Electric for less than that mid-range price, and on top of my concerns about what they're using all the data they're snarfing for and their complete lack of transparency about any of this I will continue not subscribing and insisting others not use Aira in my presence.

Because it's the start of a new year, I'm trying to convince myself to get a bike ride in. It's not going well but there's still time left in the day.

Good afternoon all. We got a bunch of housework done today, and we'll have a crockpot of chili going starting tomorrow morning, and there's a chocolate cream pie in the fridge for dessert over the weekend and it's all mine muahahahahahahaha!

Dear Wired: I know you guys need to eat and everything but you can fuck right off with that undismissable modal. I haven't closed a tab that fast in a while.

Dinner has been consumed. Very full tummy now.

You'llo probably want to set draft for posts via webhooks because sometimes IFTTT does really fucked-up cashing with some RSS feeds (which is not documented) and also some services (which is also not documented).

OK the thing you need to get IFTTT to set post status to draft when using webhooks is &post-status=draft

Merry Christmas and happy 8th night of Hanukah everybody. Just hanging out and listening to some graphic audio.

So the IFTTT webhooks service just isn't that well-documented. At all.

Shavuah tov and chodesh tov everybody. Welcome to a new week. Just a heads-up for #indieweb folks that if you're using IFTTT to pesos stuff back to your sites, &status=draft no longer works. I'm throwing things at the wall to see what sticks and will post a solve for posting drafts when I find one that works.

I've been a bit too busy lately to do anything other than read Mastodon, and I have to say I've missed interacting with you lovely people.

Oh wow. Twitter has deleted it's social media linking policy page. Look at the pretty 404! https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/social-platforms-policy

Just want to say I'm thoroughly enjoying all the Hanukah pictures with alt text on here. You guys are awesome. #MazelDon #Jewish

So I just read the new Twitter policy on promotion of other social media platforms for free, mostly because I've seen a lot of discussion and wanted to read the entire thing. The following things are true: Elon has the right to do whatever he wants on his private platform, and, this is incredibly dumb and I kind of hope the other socials start blocking Twitter links. And finally, some of the stuff people are doing to get around this is hilarious and I hope Elon has fun playing whackamole.

First light kindled, but trying to get a decent picture is too difficult. Happy Hanukah everybody!
