Well now I definitely feel old: The Astronomy Picture of the Day from NASA is 30 years old today!

Happy Birthday #APOD! You don't look a day over 29!

@poppacalypse I don't feel like a master. Maybe a webwrangler? Webweaver is one I like.

Once you flatten knowledge into prediction, once you replace the actual road of learning with a shortcut that feels smarter than you are, you’ve done more harm than you know.

RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasn’t perfect.
But it was yours.

Paintings by Canadian artist Alex Colville from the 1950s-1970s that look like PS2 graphics

I noticed a (minor but abusable) data leak in the RMM/PSA tool Atera a while ago, reported it and it's now fixed. I think it's somewhat interesting so I wrote it up.

Tldr: if you tested your SMTP settings, it used a public mailbox on mailinator, allowing anyone to watch for (and respond to, if you're so inclined) mail. Phishing opportunity!

Internet friends (and future friends!): I'm putting together a talk about joyful weirdness on the web and was looking for examples of what other people have fallen in love with:

Could I ask you to show me examples of weird, delightful, unexpected websites and webapps you've made or seen?

Picard diplomacy tip: Peace begins with the choice to reject your own anger.

On my about page https://plunch.de/about/ I chose a floppy disc icon to depict the #IndieWeb. Anyone got a better idea?

The icon should be available on Phosphor icons.

@shankulkarny I have written about that very thing before 😅 my preference is to refer to the web, and the commercial web (Facebook, Instagram, etc)

Look forward to reading more of your posts and seeing you in the 32bit community, I hope :)

@shankulkarny I see you!

There are several communities of people that come together to discuss websites (in a content way as well as a meta or technical way) and entertain & support each other to boot! One of which I advocate for: the 32bit cafe (https://32bit.cafe)

Consider joining the discourse forum, the discord, or just have a look around. It's a very welcoming community and through them you will find others.

#CSSNakedDay is here - showing a site's structure without the style to promote accessibility!

Alright, I'm on a roll with ideas today. Here's an idea for extending the indieweb.txt proposal with additional information on how you would like your site to be referenced on others sites.

https://shellsharks.com/extending-indieweb-txt-reference

Here I am riffing-on and extending the indieweb.txt file mentioned here https://indieweb.org/indieweb.txt.

Wouldn't it be cool / nice if you could share information on how others should reference your site on their site? Everything from your site's name, your name, aesthetics, etc

#indieweb

Please, person reading this, please make more room for you to share pieces of you in spaces you own on the internet.

@cory pick your favourite models from the model picker in Copilot Chat to accelerate the destruction of the environment

@ben I would say so! The simpler the backend the better - a static site is king of course but some of the more beefy backend solutions will slow things down.

Do you think Microsoft understands what consent is?

Cool native #HTML elements you should already be using: "I’m constantly surprised by what I can build with plain, native HTML, and it’s always satisfying ripping out a JS package I’ve replaced with a simple HTML tag." https://harrisonbroadbent.com/blog/cool-native-html-elements/
