This animated map shows a day of actual UK train movements, delays and all! On 19 August 2026 the network peaked at 1,794 trains moving at once. Even around 3am, at least 141 were running. Passenger services wind down, but freight and maintenance keep rolling. Source: buff.ly/0zrhl41

Do you also, when flying, watch the flight attendants perform their obligatory safety instructions ritual to the voice over the speakers before takeoff so they won’t feel bad that nobody gives a damn about them?

International Fox Day? Neat! There is something so uncanny about foxes. Even though I was looking right at this guy, my mind could hardly admit that it was a real animal.

17 years ago, I first discovered Flipnote Studio on the Nintendo DSi and it transformed my life. It's also half of my entire existence now since I tried it. If you just discovered me or know me for more than a decade, thank you all very much for still being here! I am there thanks to you all❤️

HomeFM is not yet published, at least not until I've tested it enough and has all the features I want. But I'm glad that I'm back to my collection. As a frequent shopper in Bandcamp, I can add those purchases to my collection and keep supporting my favourite artitsts.

I'm still testing the app, but already in the past days I've been very glad to rediscover my collection. Sometimes it queues quite forgettable stuff, but I'm also tired of Spotify kind of fencing me around my own choices.

I used Claude to build HomeFM from scratch (suggesting that it should use mopidy and icecast), and I'm impressed that the tool basically speedran over the same problems we had when we implemented BAMP.

Ciro Durán 🎏 @chiguire.ciroduran.com · 30/08/2026

I should probably disclose that it's not the first time I've worked on something like this. A few years ago we made BAMP with some colleagues. BAMP is also based on mopidy. BAMP also had a voting system to order the songs (or take them out).

Ciro Durán 🎏 @chiguire.ciroduran.com · 30/08/2026

HomeFM runs only in my local network. I can open it on my desktop or in my phone and I can play the songs directly there, either by search or letting it queue 10 random songs each time. Under the app there's an web frontend, mopidy (a playback server), and icecast for streaming.

One of the projects I started recently is a local network web-based player for my music collection. It's a collection I've been building for more than 2 decades, and I had neglected a bit in favour of streaming services. This is HomeFM.

(removing the name of the poster): ad blockers exist *specifically* because ad networks have been one of the biggest vectors for malware, adware, hijacks, and illegal images dressed up as "legit business" that i can think of for 20 or so years. we're reaping a near total failure to police any of it

"everyone — consumers, publishers, writers — would wind up better off if web browser ad-blockers didn't exist and the rationalizations for using one are mostly clever justifications for what's just selfish behavior with obvious negative social consequences."
