@goat@hellsite.site sorry to bring this up but has your therapist been seen converting large amounts of silver into cobalt, this sounds a bit suspicious

Again doing random webstuff because I saw a pretty color (the dark grey). Just focussed on the general blog layout, the homepage + navigation is still a mess (same tho).
Taking last time's criticism into account all the colors pass accessibility checks now

If your ideology is named after a person, you’re in a cult.

Pretty wild how common the "your library needs to reinvent wheels at least 500 lines worth or else it's BAD" mentality still is, you'd think it's obvious that small dependencies are the perfect 'do one thing, do it well' philosophy...

@polymerwitch @kawaiipunk something to keep in mind with matrix is that your server will also do a lot of outgoing federation requests to other servers, so to hide your ip from them as well you do need some kinda local vpn

@polymerwitch @kawaiipunk the quite nice setup I run for pixie.town is hosted at home, but renting a tiny vps (at Hetzner but could be anywhere) that all the traffic gets vpn'ed through to obscure my home ip

when someone complains about all the wasted space on a website that could have content in it, i ignore all their website design opinions forever

@erikk@chaos.social well keeping track of them is what your package.json is for, and the vast majority of dependencies following this principle basically never have to be updated, and if they do their API will be consistent enough that it's a very simple process. Almost all issues happen when you start using big monoliths like lodash that have such an immense api surface
