Second year in a row missing #stateofthebrowser . Last year Dom and I made a sword. This year I am FRANTICALLY prepping an 8 hour DnD session for tomorrow. Excited to keep up with the highlights on social.
Notes
Short-form thoughts, links, and updates.
I find myself longing for a like “reading” platform. That is Storygraph + readwise reader + audiobook server + notes/highlight aggregator + epub hosting and syncing.
My mac mini network mount has failed for the last time. Gonna move the remaining containers over to my thinkstation linux box this weekend.
I am putting this out into the universe and search results: Do not use a mac mini as a home server if you’re mounting data from a NAS. It’s not worth the faff.
Trying to blog more and think and write more about the books I read among other things.
Please enjoy thoughts on big gay Shakespeare

Third times a charm testing Mastodon cross syndication for notes https://www.joehart.co.uk/notes/
Testing second time to see if the Mastodon syndicating is working and the backlinking github actions 👀
Testing posting notes from my personal site here, to bluesky and mastadon 👀 https://www.joehart.co.uk/notes/

I think one of the cool things LLMS/Local coding agents could do is really open up fediverse stuff for regular folks.
Fedi and self hosting is just far out of reach for most people, but lowering that barrier to entry would be awesome.
Really it’d be the point where you could have a competent coding agent running in a device that costs, say, less than £1000.
The urge is rising in my to take a punt on a colour e-ink tablet again… Between Remarkaboox did a tablet with the Gallery eink
God I wish boox did a tablet with the Gallery eink display tech.
Finally on the home assistant hype. Not for a lot of things, but having the hallway lights turn off when i press play on the Apple TV in the evenings is great.
I gotta say, using voice control to write things down on my computer is the most Star Trek I think I’ve ever felt.
God damn this is cool as hell. Immediate purchase. This plus an e-reader might be the perfect set up for me.
I miss the old iPad multitasking a lot.
Mixture of comfort reads and deep deep reads this year #StoryGraph

I don’t want a phone.
I want a tricorder.
💡What a start to the day with react powered light bulbs from @erikras.com #reactAdvanced @reactadvanced.gitnation.org
God damn it, Tim Berners-Lee’s book “This is for Everyone” is gradually warming my frozen heart.
It’s been a long time since I’ve felt optimistic about the web again.
Gotta say, whatever the React Flow folks are paid they should be paid more.
Every AI Startup and their cousin is using it for the primary interface.
