I wrote a quick response to Ben Gillbanks' post on why people use #Medium - I think it's still valid today, albeit 2 years after the post was written.

TL;DR - Avoid Medium. 🙂

I vastly agree with this from @Edent about names and special characters.

We can throw Welsh names into the misspellings required – Siôn, Siân, Glyndŵr, to name a few.

Wow, after 25 years of Unix experience, I learned that you can filter output in #less.

Press ampersand (&) and enter a regex to show only lines matching the regex.

Press ampersand (&) and then exclamation mark (!) to apply an inverse filter.

#WordPress is 18 today, so I thought it would be fun to share a screenshot of my first foray into WP, a tech blog called Refugeeks. The site started in 2010, and looked like this for nearly 3 years. 🤦‍♂️

The design is diabolical, but I thought it would be fun to share. Any of you folks got any design horror stories in your past? If so, get sharing them! 😊

Day 028 of #100DaysToOffload:

I left the JAMStack and IndieWeb in February 2021. What am I feeling three months later?

Been updating my blogroll. It now includes podcasts and newsletters too.

After a sudden hostile (and/or grossly incompetent) takeover by Freenode tonight, the #qutebrowser IRC channel is now on libera.chat: https://blog.qutebrowser.org/qutebrowser-moving-to-libera-chat.html - I urge other projects to do the same sooner rather than later, as long as you can still tell your users about it.

If you're NOT a part of the global rich, not working for big tech, or marginalized in any way, please try and fill this in if you can.
