In the process of gatsby upgrades I fixed an annoyance/bug/workaround that had been in the code for five years.
Sometimes you just look at it again and think “Well that’s not the way to do it”.
kind note
When forking a project that uses urls for module or package names (Hello, Go!), is it polite to rename the module straight away, or do you just leave it as the old name?
Aw, man! Do I need to start moving away from using github as a login provider? I mean, sure, I can set up my own indieauth endpoint, bridge to my own OpenID as a provider, expose that on a VM somewhere, implement tailscale reverse proxy auth, then forget my password. Just seems a bit overkill.
Managed to get the posse’ing blog to split notes and post threads. But why does the root message not show on the profile page? 🤔
After putting underlay back down, the stairs are definitely a bit quieter, and I also resolved some problems with the kickstarter feed over the weekend.
Fixed a bug where if you linked to your project in pre-release, it would probably never show up in the feed after launch. Just on the feed today I’m seeing new projects (to me) that have been running a while.
Also made it run much cheaper. Not before I also introduced a bug for three days that’s cost me ~$30. Win some, lose some.
The carpet is back down, all tools put away, the stairs still creak. But, I had fun. I’m mostly very wary of tackling DIY, so getting all that done was a big win.
Also, no blood lost on carpet tacks. No wood splitting, no plaster damaged, new underlay down. All in all, very far from a disaster.
“I’m moving my blog to substack” is becoming a really handy way of cutting down on the number of RSS feeds I feel the need to keep up with.
Made a little update to the Kickstarter feeds. It’ll now correctly pick up posts which embed the Kickstarter link but don’t include it in the text.
Going to do some work over the next few days to try and get the running costs down more.
It’s my own fault. I uttered the immortal phrase “I’m all done with this task, just need to update a couple of tests”. I could hear gremlin-like giggling as soon as I said it.
I have finally (finally!) ordered a new bluray player. I’ll be able to make a start on the last two years of Doctor Who boxed sets
