I remember when 8-bit machines ruled the Earth, IOS was a Cisco thing, and e-mail bounced around via dial-up, back before the first AI winter.
I'm now enjoying the new AI spring and doing all sorts of fun stuff.

Nice idea, although I fear it will break due to AppleScript. I might take some time to investigate doing it all as a Swift CLI.

I have been doing this with toad and opencode and it is great for those unprompted ideas that pop up while in the big blue room, but not really useful for large projects.

No, because of Graal.

Since one of my holiday projects was completely rebuilding the Node-RED dashboard in Preact, I have to challenge that a bit. How were you using the model?

I had a similar set of experiences with GPT 5.x over the holiday break, across somewhat more disparate domains: https://taoofmac.com/space/notes/2025/12/31/183…

The detail on the animations is, as usual, top notch, including the way snow doesn't just immediately turn off but stops falling slowly. I love it.

Ha. Well, https://taoofmac.com was ported to Hy ( https://github.com/rcarmo/sushy ) in a week, then I eventually rewrote that in plain Python to do the current static s…

I LOVE this. There were a few other similar projects a few years back but they all seem to have stalled - hopefully this one will keep going

Nice. Can’t find mine in the top 1000, but I can live with that. I _am_ fascinated at some in the 100-200 rankings, since they seem to have very few posts (and short at that, based on my random sampli…

I have a fully static site. And the backing storage doesn’t let me set custom headers

Sure thing. Got sidetracked this weekend with pre-work cleaning, will get back to it soon, hopefully.

That quote, together with the rest of our timeline, made me realize that we might just be getting to the point where the dolphins finally up and leave :)

You add UTM tags to the links, like everyone else.

Never stopped doing it. And my resolve strengthened when most blogs started doing summary feeds to force people to visit —- I kept doing full text feeds as a matter of course, and if it wasn’t for the…

I had that header set back when I ran my blog on my own HTTP server. Probably should spend some Cloudflare worker cycles to put it back now that it’s purely static…

Wow. I used one of these as an “upgrade” to a VT220. I am very much tempted to bolt a Pi Zero to a display and dedicate it to running just this, with that font, and a finely calibrated amber color (ma…

It will be a very small cloud.

Nice. An obvious link to the compose file would be great (I assume you have prebuilt images on ghcr.io?), and if it happens to work on ARM, I will certainly give it a try.
comment
Nice. I wonder if there’s any way to quickly get a view for a whole year.

Disregarding the clickbait, we’ve been able to do file suffix aliasing with zsh for a decade or so now—no need for that convoluted hack.
