hi :)

I'm not sure what the justification is for this, but it creeps me out.

Can any of you guys recommend an RSS feed generator please? The feed generation in Grav is pretty shitty, and the feeds don’t appear to be updating properly on my site.

I’m looking at some of my self-hosting guru friends, like @amolith

Thanks all!

Yeah. First Post

I jotted down some of the reasons why I don't use #Facebook. I thought maybe some people may find it useful.

Yet another reason it's a good idea to move on from Twitter (and Facebook) to a decentralized option like Mastodon.

How many of you opened this at work?

I’m aware image uploads are still broken. There is nothing i can do right now, unfortunately, as it is due to our service provider (Wasabi). Sorry for the inconvenience. I intend to change the service provider as soon as possible and have made preparations for it.

Halfway there! I wonder if I should remove the black plastic outside of the screen or if that would break it.

First toot on Fosstodon. How's it going folks?

Internet is going in at the new house as we speak, and I'll be back in business.

A request, please boost.

Anyone who does podcasts in the IT/infosec/hacking world... I would like to be a guest sometime if you'd have me...

I need to up BlackFire's visibility, and as such, talking is a great way to do that.

So, if you are ever looking for a guest/stand in co-host/ whatever... I am available.
