Over the past decade, there’s been a growing epidemic of excess. Influencers on social media flaunting expensive cars, designer clothing, big houses (so you wanna be a rock superstar), and then, of course, the extremely lucky Youtubers, TikTokers, and so on and so forth, who make it big because they...

I haven’t written very much on my blog in the past week. I haven’t done so, mostly, because a lot has been going on in the world, and my head is spinning! In my personal life, I’m moving positions at work, so there’s a stressor, but not too stressy, because...

I’m testing to see if my script correctly waits a couple minutes, and then posts to Mastodon with the description and hashtags in-tact. If all goes well, this text should show up on Mastodon as the summary. And this should only be visible on the website.

Much to probably nobody’s surprise, I am very indecisive, and I can’t figure out what I want to do. In my ActivityPub distro-hopping adventures, I’ve installed Mastodon onto a VPS, and switched back. Not because Sharkey is bad, or not to my liking. It’s great! But I can’t keep myself...

Earlier yesterday (at this point), I quickly posted about a new comment section thing I made for my blog, and in all reality, it wasn’t finished. Someone on the fedi mentioned that forbidden words should be server-side. I also noticed that I didn’t really have a way to know that...

I pretty much have zero time to write a fully comprehensive post, because it took an hour and a half to figure out how to do this, and now I have to get ready for work. But! Each post on the website here now has a dedicated comment section that...

It’s a tale as old as time. You buy 400 games on Steam, but ultimately you end up back in a Blizzard game. Or, … in this day and age, an ActiBlizzard game. Or, in this specific day and age, Diablo 4, so that you can prove you’re better than...
