iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The web conference, now with 100% less you. Agent-first, human-optional, ice cream not included in the Enterprise tier.

After careful consideration and a look at where the industry is spending it's funding we've decided to pivot #FFConf in a "new" direction. I present to you: ffconf.ai Please share with bots and humans alike.

Wow. Now that's a subject! Spammer "accidentally" put the body in the subject field.

It's spam, you really don't want to know. Lots of the word "financing" repeated over and over with different conditions, like mortgage, etc.

Appreciate this is going to go rather wide, but we've had reports of ffconf.org not being reachable (literally ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED). I'd really appreciate a test and if anyone finds it refusing to let me know (obs it's reporting as up on downforme, etc).

I've cobble my own book tooling recently, a mix of calibre on desktop, syncthing (+awkward "calibre needs to be shutdown before sync"), a custom opds server and custom koreader patches - and…it's sort of hung together. Just discovered bookorbit. It's very…claudey…but so far ticking a LOT of boxes.

There's a weird tension between the posts I see (exclusively on linkedin) that are anti-AI (usually "vibe coder vs engineer") and yet use LLM generated image to demonstrate their point. I mean, it works to get the point across, but…just doesn't sit quite in the right spot…

I **completely** missed this. Partly my skimming eyes and keen to get to the (very nice) demos. Definitely worthwhile putting at the top (maybe a bit more contrast too for us oldies 😏). I like what @anatudor.bsky.social does with their `@supports` notes her demos.

Cleaning up my owned music and audio files, and this has surfaced itself. Do I delete the wonderful @adactio.com, @hicks.design, @meyerweb.com @tantek.com.web.brid.gy and Molly (RIP) from my disk? 🤔 I should really listen to this to see if anything has gotten better in the last 2 decades…

Since 2022, I've started adding conditional support info boxes in the actual demos via `@supports`. They've gone through quite a few iterations since: codepen.io/thebabydino/... codepen.io/thebabydino/... But I've eventually settled on just showing them if something's off.

I'm guilty of this in a recent post about text underlines, I quickly started peppering with support disclaimers.

Detect when elements overlap with CSS

This is a beautiful blog post and I love the work that went into the demos: ishadeed.com/article/css-... Took me to getting entirely to the end of the post to realise none of it worked because I use Firefox. I do wish we'd get better at marking "at time of writing X is supported/broken".

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

Since writing this post (originally 2 weeks ago), I've started to warm much more to Victor Mono. Re: breaking widths, I _think_ that's what's actually happening, though I do need to pick through your CSS in detail and compare to pull the bits I really do need (and likely eject my dodgy css!)

Redesign: fonts, alignment and nav

An update on the (so-called) redesign of my blog: remysharp.com/2026/09/26/r... I also note that social card embeds don't like .avif images, which is a shame…but I can't be arsed to add the png right now.

As I continue occasionally tinker on the redesign I've started (and often think "what's the point, current design is fine"), I wanted to share some o…

I can confirm, **from experience**, that fairy liquid ice cubes suck. So I doubt snorting a short of it is any better. That's how you ingest is, right?

Obviously it's a shot of fairy liquid. Duh.

Made the mistake of buying LinkNLink presence sensor a year ago. It regularly signs me out and drops connectivity, and the latest update, I can't sign in so doing a password reset and selected *Europe* to then be presented with this:

From what I can tell from the screenshot it is a with a tiny bit of English text in the background and there's a dialogue that's asking me a question where there is a blue button and a grey button whilst having no idea what any of it means

I love the quotes we get from attendees of @ffconf.org. And how cute do @hereinthehive.bsky.social and @hannahc.bsky.social look! It's the people that make the events. I look forward to this feeling each time.

Photos of groups of people chatting, taking selfies together and smiling together.

A quote beneath reads: "every time I've been to FFConf, I've left with my faith fully restored in humanity and the web development community, and itching to try out new things. It's always an inspiring event in calendar."

It's like calling a bullet "rouge". When are these companies actually going to be pressed legally for their cyberattacks? It seems to be coming from the same small group of massive tech companies, not random hackers.

I very much doubt if the media or society as a whole will call it what is, but this, "an agent hacking" wasn't just a random company, OpenAI did this. They wrote the software and pointed it out into the world. It's not the agent that's "rouge". www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOfV...

I have three tickets to see Death Cab for Cutie at the Troxy in London this Friday (show is sold out) that I can no longer use. Unreserved standing, to sell at face value £. Let me know if you're interested!

I find that the search hard to reach and cumbersome in the Navidrome web app. Feels like quickly finding is one thing that needs to be easy for me to grab. I do like that this alt UI focuses around making a play queue too.

Making sure to capture the higher end of the demographics.

a simple but full-featured web player for OpenSubsonic compatible music servers (Navidrome, Gonic, etc)

I actually quite liked the bare bones of tinysub.devins.page - especially as I can clone it and host in our home network, then the kids can manage their own playlists (and I can make my own customisations since it's relatively simple). It's just not so pretty.

But if they're looking at re-implementing, my feeling is it makes sense to repurpose it - because then some sites will automatically benefit from it. Plus, easier sell to the old dogs like me: "remember lowsrc, you can use it again"

Also useful for spotting which key combos _can't_ be captured (though, annoying too as new windows fly open and close all over the place… I *might* be sitting on my keyboard…just fyi)

A first for me: I was on the chest bench between a set (60 seconds rest) and someone took the weight off my bar. I didn't realise until I pushed the bar and realised it was massively easier. Fuck that person.

Navidrome users - do you have a favourite (player) client? Ideally web based, but can be native too.
