· @micro.thedroneely.com ·Hmm, this theme now coerces hugo into
generating/bootstrapping authors from the site configuration file. The test
result? @nobody. Might be an
interesting pattern.
Data mounting operates a bit strangely underneath the hood though,
this issue (~2yrs
) might be one
to watch, but not too sure.

· @micro.thedroneely.com ·I’m not a magician. If you possess the uncanny ability to elucidate concepts like open source software/hardware to the average consumer and their relation to consumer products then — you’re a literal magician. Magic.

· @micro.thedroneely.com ·Just noticed that Mastodon prefixes a
user’s homepage
route with the @at
symbol. Pragmatic and clever name spacing? Tempting. Though I’d still prefer a
URL
of the form:
https://example.com/user
Instead of:
https://example.com/@user
Yeah… superficial, but it looks cleaner.

· @micro.thedroneely.com ·In my country, political has at least three classes/levels. These are: spin doctor, spin master, and spin grand–master. Most citizens are easily spooked, so it’s easy pickings for politicians/journalists/pundits — the usual. Best to ignore news/politics. Tracking outrage is a fundamental futility, unless it’s your job. ;–)

· @micro.thedroneely.com ·Claws Mail is a great mail client. It interoperates nicely with any text editor and has a flat file design structure (many use case possibilities). The negatives are that the interface is a bit dated and runs on a single thread.

· @micro.thedroneely.com ·In freelancing your job is not to be a hero, but to attract blame and lose arguments swiftly and strategically. Customer service, you know?
People problems >
technical problems. This is an axiom. Your
tools don’t resolve people problems, only technical problems.
Everything’s dandy when accolades go up and around. Compliments directed only at you? Bad news.
Style beats substance.
Attitude beats competence.
Foreign beats local credibility.
Scapegoats (blame deflection) and messengers/prophets (indirection) are the norm. Navigating this is a dark art, and yes, the human mind is magical and highly superstitious.

· @micro.thedroneely.com ·Time is generous. I don’t use/follow social media, so if this micro blog ever interfaces with a headless there’ll be a constant deluge of posts.
Perhaps it might be an interesting experiment to document and wire in every
driven headless CMS
available. It’s about time to put NixOS through its proper
paces. How many heads can one fit onto this body or is it the other way round?
It’s just an API
after all.

· @micro.thedroneely.com ·Users are psychologically primed to hate vertical scrollbars, but what happens when you remove them? Bring in the horizontal “indicators” duh… Oh you designers. ‘Tis probably wise for browsers to make that a user option and default to vertical scrollbars before scroll accessibility goes up in flames.

· @micro.thedroneely.com ·One way to remove multi–page transition jank is to force a permanent scrollbar.
Are there any kindred spirits? Yes — there’s
a kindred spirit. Overflows
may disable descending position: sticky
behavior. Avoid that problem with
other
jank removal techniques.
html {
overflow-y: scroll;
