I was pointed to this text version of this awesome talk at Web Directions in 2015 by Maciej Cegłowski and every paragraph is still spot on: https://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm I don’t care about bloat because it’s inefficient. I care about it because it makes the web inaccessible. Maciej Cegłowski That really hits a nerv. Hat tip @data_shaman

Those were the days 😀

Case of illness *sigh :/

@elmine it is probably a problem related to gdpr. As for me personally I don’t care because I use my own setup to keep some privacy when it comes to tracking. Also I’m reading your feed that doesn’t embed anyway 😁 There’s some no cookies domain for YT you could use tho. Find that option in extended embed dialog on share. Not much use if a visitor is logged in to G tho. I doubt there’s a good solution for privacy and usability at the same time.

Switching from a small TypeScript project with roughly 65000 files scratching on a typical fs.inotify.max_user_watches limit to a small C project with just 40 files (symlinks included) always creeps me out.a somehow – sorry 😜

I recently started checking all my old posts manually. Turns out only a handful of links still work. The thing that really annoyed me tho is when a domain changed ownership and displays wildly different content eventually. Some even with disreputable content. So yeah, some “link hygiene” on occasion is probably a good idea.
