had a truly sick idea last night revolving around combining short-term cookies with JavaScript setTimeouts in order to fake long-polling (because you have to have GitHub API credentials in order to poll the GitHub repo) and then realized the only user who needs long-polling to auto-refresh is... the person who has API credentials
image posts... I need them
the site upgrades are piling up, I should really backport them to octobug 🤔
among some post editor improvements (better mobile support!) NEW posts should have a new permalink structure while OLD posts retain their old URLs (to hopefully avoid bombarding feeds with "new" posts, and to avoid breaking what I'm sure are hundreds of links to my first ~25 brilliant posts)
are so much higher when deleting the post requires deleting a file from a git repo 😰
hopping into the group chat to tell the squad how non-attached I feel today
I timed badly the delivery of a new phone (my old one was from 2020 and had had its battery replaced twice… I need a bigger battery, apparently) and its accompanying case so I was carrying it around for the last 4 days with no case and it was kind of terrifying.
The new case has arrived and it’s a huge relief to know that I am at least somewhat protected from fucking up my phone now
it’s starting to feel like a website in here
honestly writing vanilla javascript to do things that still "feel good" feels like doing the saddest magic trick, but attracting the most hardcore audience. For my next trick, useful OpenGraph tags
and then it didn't again when I posted whatever that was. Third time's a charm?
