Watching the NFL game, they’re showing the temperature difference between Kansas City and Miami. Mike Tirico narrates the temperature in Miami as “70 degrees.”
The on-screen graphic says 69°.

Sometimes I feel lucky that ADD is so socially “acceptable” these days. Today, though…
This fucking sucks.
We’re not who we were, and I’m so glad we’ve been able to grow alongside and with each other. Happy anniversary, Brittany.
Posting this and logging off: I’m trying to verify the HTTP signature on a Mastodon web request and it’s not working and I don’t know why. Details are over here. #activitypubdev #webdev
TFW a library you’ve been using/have a PR out for got abandoned so you started cleaning up your fork to put on Packagist except you found out someone already did it and made the same changes you did so it turns out you don’t have to support another library after all…
I’ve been wanting to use readonly
classes since PHP 8.2 came out a year ago, but I’ve been blocked by my (to this point) loosey-goosey approach to immutability and PHPCS not supporting the syntax.
Turns out PHPCS was Going Through Some Things. It’s better now.
Fun game over on Bluesky that I wanted to share: what’s the best single line from a song? Most of the ones I could think of were whole bridges or only worked in context. Finally settled on an older lyric from The Echoing Green.
Is there some “dev mode” in Mastodon I can turn on to see (a) what ActivityPub messages are being received and (b) why they aren’t doing anything/got rejected?
After trying and failing multiple times to get multiple Fediverse projects working inside my existing Docker Compose setup, I’m biting the bullet and paying for another VM so I can finally test against Mastodon.
I feel like I’m missing something…
For those that celebrate, hope you are having a wonderful Christmas. Today’s joy is a six-sided keyboard switch tester that doubles as a fidget toy.
I will try not to annoy absolutely everyone. No promises.

Testing time…
From @brentsimmons’ post on adding Mastodon support to the RSS reader NetMewsWire:
Such an app could be a nice unified experience. Get your Mastodon, Threads, RSS feeds, Micro.blog and, hopefully, other services — anything that supports ActivityPub, RSS, or some other open format or API — all in one place, in a way that’s already familiar to everyone.
That’s the second half of the plan for Smolblog. It’s under Beta Phase 2. Feedback and help is always appreciated.
Just wrote the last sentence of a story that comes in at just under 12k words.
But I like this one too much, so it’s getting edited!
Bookmarking this article about moving from CRUD to Event Sourcing as it has some of the simplest explanations of the concept I’ve seen.
Fascinated by this talk by Gary Bernhardt about boundaries in software architecture. It’s validated some of the architecture I’ve used with Smolblog and given me ideas for what I haven’t…
There are always going to be the free riders – tech companies, perhaps – who benefit from the interconnectedness of the world while refusing to do the work.

Last year Fortnite did a big in-game event to end Chapter 3 and launch Chapter 4. This year they had even worse queuing (my wife got kicked out an hour before and couldn’t get back in) just to have a few cinematic teasers and… get kicked out anyway I guess? I’m not mad, just disappointed.
Sometimes you get an error that just makes you want to walk into the ocean.
I hate signing into my Google account on my phone. Because Google, a company run by Very Smart People, always assumes I’m signing into my phone for the first time and bombards me with emails and notifications about “setting up” my phone and “making it better” with all of their apps. 🙄
It goes like this:
And after resigning myself to just using a raw SQLite database to store my character/setting info, I gave Collections Database a try. So far it’s working well enough to spend the $7 on the pro version…
Started and stopped several attempts last night at finding some software to use as a character database… Ended up making a SQLite file and opening it in TablePlus.
Hey Stripe, what’s your black Friday dashboard say about the number of businesses having their “best day ever”?
If you want to upload a file through an HTML form, be sure to set the content type to multipart/form-data
. Otherwise it will not work.
If you want to upload a file through the JavaScript fetch
function, be sure NOT to set the content type manually. Otherwise you’ll be stuck for a week. Like me.
