Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.

This was a quick-and-dirty thing for my own blog's migration, which I decided against for a few reasons, but maybe it will help others. Also, every time I try PowerShell, I like it more? Turns out it's great at handling JSON and converting time formats.

I made a tool for migrating Tumblr blogs to @11ty.dev static sites, since one didn't seem to exist! It retrieves all your posts with all attached metadata, using a Tumblr blog export ZIP and the Tumblr API, and saves them in a new directory structure with Eleventy's data format.

NEW: ProPublica’s Jake Pearson lost $10,000 mimicking the betting patterns of a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company’s “responsible gaming” safeguards. One week in, he was invited to become a VIP — and faced little pushback as he spiraled.

Great seeing responsively sized iframes landing in Chrome - developer.chrome.com/blog/respons... In my post "The browser is the sandbox", I said: "We need a way to size the outer-iframe (or iframes in general) that doesn’t rely on access to iframe.[...].innerHeight and sandbox='allow-same-origin'"

Responsive iframes in Chrome 154  |  Blog  |  Chrome for Developers
Chrome 154 adds support for responsively-sized iframes, letting an iframe size itself based on the intrinsic size of its embedded document.

The funniest part of my network is the 1999 PowerMac G3 desktop having a Wi-Fi 7 connection. It maxes out at 100 Mbps, though.

Yeah I’ll try to do that if I can line up a Microcenter trip with needing something, B&H Photo at least has most of their products at MSRP and (unlike Unifi’s store) free shipping, so I’m using them for the moment

I rolled out some updates for Just the Browser! It now disables a few more AI features in Chrome, and it now just turns off AI features in Firefox instead of turning off *and locking* them.

DuckDuckGo is bordering on unusable at this point. Every search engine is now filled with results from AI content farms, but DDG seems to be the worst at deranking them.

Docker Compose is often stupid and overly complicated, but it’s cool that the entire process for moving my web servers over the weekend was copying two folders. All the containers started back up on the new system like nothing had happened!

CSS Curiosities of the Past
Summary of the various CSS syntaxes, parsing bugs, hacks, bespoke features, and implementations used across browsers and the web to achieve specific goals in the days before browser vendors became more adherent to a single solid specification. Particularly focusing on the non-compliant, bespoke implementations of functionality seen in Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
