😩 In theory, kids are supposed so grow out of sleeping in their parents' bed.

I'm still waiting...



😮‍💨 Feeling mostly better. My eyes are still a little leaky, and I still have a backlog of mucus to clear out, but mostly better.



😱 I've just realised my freiendica instance isn't actually sending my posts, and I don't know how to debug it...


If anyone at all can see this, please reply. I don't think my posts are being federated correctly.

💡 Hey, @Adam :prami: I know you're busy and everything, but I just had an idea:
Webhooks for /now and profile pages (so I can push the changes to my personal static website, or set up my own nudges, or whatever)


😵‍💫 Why can't apps just be. Why should I have to submit an update to the app store if it still works fine?


Does Friendica support any kind of webhooks?


!Friendica Support
I'd like to set something up so that when I create a post on Friendica I could add something to my website (source in git and automatically built by a static site generator). Is there any sort of webhook support, a plugin with webhook support, or would I have to look into building my own plugin for something like that?



🤔 It turns out it did not work properly the first time, but after some debugging, it looks like we should be good to go now. I just need to double-check...


🧪 So... If I've got this set up right, this status.lol post should appear both on my website at death.id.au and be pushed out to the fediverse via my Friendica instance, also on death.id.au... 🤞


Here goes nothing... First post from friendica installed on death.id.au while my website is also served on the same domain (sorta kinda)
🤞


#Finch. What is it about this particular app that has allowed me to stick with it when I chop and change between so many others?
in reply to Gordon Pedersen

Just to be clear, this is just my current streak. I've been using this app pretty consistently for three and a half years...


This is my KBDCraft 60% typewriter.

Built from a Kit Lilith, with pieces from case Adam, along with some purchased parts and some I just had lying around. Plus some round "typewriter" keycaps from AliExpress.

It's also mostly hollow, so theoretically I could install a small PC like a Raspberry Pi or a NUC in there. But for now, it's good to use with a tablet.



🎮️ Getting back into playing Pokémon on my old DS lite.
Enjoying it much more than I thought I would.


Can I change the redirect on a single user instance?


!Friendica Support When I set my instance to be a single user instance, that seems to just redirect the root of the domain to my profile page. Is there anywhere I can change that behaviour? For instance, redirecting to a website?

I don't know whether you can do it in friendica, but at the very least you could do it in your webserver.

🫤 I need to pick myself up and get back into a regular rhythm.

I need a solid project to work on.





💡 Charlie and the Chocolate factory, but rewritten in the modern day, with modern day sensibilities.
New kids, new fantastic ways for them to get their comeuppance.

Plot twist: it's a sequel. There are stories and legends of what happened to kids in the factory many years ago, including that one kid who never returned and whose whole family disappeared soon after. Story morphs into horror-esque.

Double plot twist "Willy Wonka" is just old Charlie.



📹 So, I did a thing and made a video:
!Lilith + Lilin Assembly ()

It's a little naff, technical limitations and all that, but I'm hoping it's the start of something more in the future. We shall see.



🏨 I've been pretty lucky in my life - never broken a bone.
My daughter is not so lucky. Broke her wrist in two places. She was in a lot of pain.
But, a bit of nitrous and some plaster and she bounces back super quick 👍

📖 Book week parade at school today. As usual, so many Harry Potters, but respect to the one Hufflepuff among the Gryffindors.
in reply to Gordon Pedersen

FYI, mine dressed as Scarygirl, tentacle arm and all (thanks to mum). She was so happy with how it turned out 😊
in reply to Gordon Pedersen

Also respect to the kid who clearly didn't come in costume, but made the most of their red and black uniform by hand drawing a Deadpool mask on cardboard.


⌨️ I like my blog and want to use it more, but what sort of content could I create that ends up marketable and profitable?


🤔 I'm looking into things I could possibly do for work that are outside of my normal (i.e. software/web development). The idea of proofreading is sticking with me. It's something I've done in all aspects of my work for many different people.

So, how do I find people who need proofreading work?

🧠 My brain has just hit a procrastination lock-up. I don't know what to do, or what I should be doing


📺️ Hey, #Lucasfilm, I have an idea for a Disney+ series:
#StarWars Ascendancy. Explore the Chiss post- #Thrawn. It's basically #GameOfThrones in space!
in reply to Gordon Pedersen

All the family rivalry and politics and jockeying for power is there. As is the background threat (white walkers / Grisks), those guarding against it while the families fight (Night's Watch / Expansionary Defence Fleet), the chosen one with the mystic powers of seeing into the past / future (Bran / Cheery), seven kingdoms / six star systems...

You are also free from most of the established Star Wars canon, being in the unknown regions (aka The Chaos).

It writes itself!




🇦🇺 Yeah, I spent way too long looking into emojis, fonts and subsets. But now I have a trimmed-down Twemoji font, containing only flags. Only 76KB 🤏


🥱 Why is it that after a nap I feel groggier than when I lay down in the first place?



🙈 Why do some sites support a dark theme, but still default to light regardless of user preferences?

There's even an option for "system default", but that's not your default? Wtf?
