discord isn't "public", so something like a Discourse forum would probably work better, in combination with Signal.
as you pointed out elsewhere and linked to soatok's blog, there isn't a perfect alternative. but it doesn't need to be perfect. it just needs to be a little bit better than today.
correct. www.rockbox.org/wiki/Bluetoo...
discord is one of those things that really makes me *not* want to join a community.
oh, definitely. the stock firmware is barely usable. the only thing it's got going for it is that it works with bluetooth.
ideally i wouldn't need rockbox at all, but i can't live without scrobbling
i saw that original post and thought the same thing but didn't want to start shit on here lol, so i'm really glad someone else said it.
many (most?) implementations get portaling and inertness wrong.
A digital audio player placed on a hardwood surface with in-ear-monitors connected to it. The device says "HiFi Walker" in stylized all caps right underneath the screen. There's a giant scroll-wheel with a play/pause button in the middle, and a few other tactile buttons for previous/next/back, etc. The screen shows that it's currently playing Spiritbox's "Cellar Door" from the album "The Fear of Fear". The interface uses a blue monochrome planet, with several pixel-y decorative elements framing the player: a cute bunny, stars, clouds and sparkles. The song's progressbar is filled with even more shapes, like hearts!
it's here and it's glorious!

this year i'm going to write at least one print stylesheet 🖨️ (i've never written one before!)
i'm sure a raspberry pi could easily serve hundreds of concurrent users too, but that's assuming that's all its doing.
mine runs multiple services (some of which have bursts of CPU-intensive processing), a media server, and also the development server for my current project.
i do worry my little raspberry pi will give way if i push it too hard, but it's been fine so far. 🤷
this article perfectly captures the kind of system i've been building for myself: an always-on computer that runs a bunch of services which can only accessed within the local network.

the point is not to get rid of favicons. it's to start from an empty favicon rather than an error
<link rel="icon" href="data:," />
adding this line to all my starter templates to fix those pesky 404s.
looking even deeper into the world of digital audio players, it seems like rockbox is the custom firmware i need to install to produce a log file that can eventually be synced. www.rockbox.org/wiki/LastFMLog
it's all open source and hackable!
i hop between music platforms a lot but one thing that's non-negotiable for me is last.fm support.
so i immediately went looking and of course someone built an app (using vite!) that syncs offline listening data when you connect the device. github.com/wistoff/lega...
this looks wonderful! new tech tends to be pretty uninspiring, so why not look towards old tech?
how do i vote in this poll about running a poll on bluesky? 😅
the week has barely started but my open tabs are piling up fast 😬
(i like to close my browser at the end of the day)
date pickers are the absolute worst, especially when range is involved.
i always suggest having separate fields for start/end dates, where each field is further split into DD/MM/YYYY.
the pushback i get is usually related to aesthetics and often lazy ("it's less clean" or "google does it too")
*they "work" but only for some users.
i would absolutely avoid the old listbox, instead using a simple list of checkboxes inside a popover.
Liquid Glass is like a design system in a clown costume 🤡
github's status page is an expert at gaslighting
ha, i've wanted to do the same. basically sass but less bloated and forward-compatible with modern css
why do you want to leave bluesky, Zach? do you not like it here?
looks incredible!
