The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

💜Life hack:

If you are working from home and you have the opportunity to bury your face in the fuzzy tummy of a friendly cat or dog...
...you should probably go and do that.

@jasonmcneill @cassidoo @jlengstorf @codeFreedomRitr @kenny_io Decoupled? No.
Reduced load? I guess.

The primary benefit is in breaking the relationship between the number of requests your site gets, and the amount of "work" that your server has to do.

@jasonmcneill @cassidoo @jlengstorf @codeFreedomRitr @kenny_io If your serving infra is not also making the things that it serves, then it is decoupled.

The chef and the waiter are different people.

@AshlynnPolini @oktetohq To describe @oktetohq as being “lucky to have you” is the understatement of the century.

They won the lottery.

Missing you loads, but excited to see all the great things you’ll do there.

SAME!

It feels good to be reminded of the small thank you I send each month to a project that I benefit from and enjoy.

Also, supporting open source projects like this has been proven to make your hair glossier, your skin healthier, and your bowels more regular. https://twitter.com/brob/status/1455161914183634947

Always fascinating to hear @LeonieWatson talk about approaches to accessibility on the web.

Her talk “bag of spanners” at #SotB2021 has great tips and is a reminder that I don’t do nearly enough on my own sites to craft a great experience for assistive technologies.

Motivated!
