I'll be at #EuroBSDCon for the first time in, eight years? Nine, maybe?

Anyway. If you're one of the folks who's asked me to show up, I'll be teaching email and TLS.

Register at https://2025.eurobsdcon.org/registration.html

Why this year? Lots of gelato within walking distance, obvs.

Discourse, in their endless wisdom, decided to now include the discourse-ai plugin by default in their distribution, which isn't just.. you know.. AI bullshit - it's also adding a hard-dependency to the pgvector PostgreSQL extension - which isn't included in any default distribution, so they just threw a big fuck-you to everyone self-hosting it with their own database setup.

It's days like this where I keep questioning why I'm still running infrastructure for FOSS projects.

Here is a web directory. Better than a search engine because it is curated and browsable.

Writing #HTML and #CSS is like meditation to me. I can do it for hours. It's beautiful.

I'm biased but, I think we should learn the language of the web in grade school. But maybe, with AI, it's a lost art; something we'll see on a tv show like a candle maker lol

porn games kicked out of itch, non-porn queer games brought down together as collateral, karada house deleted from instagram… the capitalist puritanism keeps accelerating as christofascism comes out of the closet… being overtly sexual and kinky was always a political act and is now more than ever, the fascists don't really want to eliminate sexualness or sex work, they want it hidden, marginalised, easily abusable outside of public life… it is by horny on main that we build safety and justice. horny on main is an insurrectionary act.

In addition to payment processing, our refusal to prohibit legal adult content makes it incredibly difficult for us to get certain types of insurance. (Like, more than one carrier has literally told us “we can’t write insurance for somebody falling and hurting themselves in your office because you won’t prohibit adult content on your servers.” Oh, fuck off!)

The fuck? That's utterly insane.

Meta did this? Mastodon gGmbH’s partner Meta at the Social Web Foundation?

But aren’t Mastodon gGmbH the good guys? I can’t see how they’d ever partner with Meta if this were true.

No, no, this must be fake news.

(Otherwise, what would it say about Mastodon gGmbH and the Social Web Foundation?)

Anyway, #Webflow kind of gets a bad wrap. But it is a world-class builder for serious front end developers.

No matter what I build, I write my HTML, CSS, and JS in Webflow. I couldn't imagine going back to writing HTML long-hand.

They have the best exporter, and the code is well optimized. Building in webflow is a great experience.

The problem is, Webflow the company kind of sucks. They are vampires.

#Webflow has been down for almost a full day. What's more frustrating is me realizing how much of my day is spent in Webflow. I literally have nothing to do right now lmao.

Posting about this again - I'm running a 5k this Sunday to help raise money for UNRWA counselors for children in Gaza.

In Gaza, children are living through conditions no child should ever experience.

Witnessing things no human should ever see.

Without mental health care, those images don't fade. They traumatize. They rewire growing brains. They steals futures.
