I wrote some notes on mastodon maintenance/upgrades and why I went with Jortage for tilde.zone’s media

Moved some stuff around the other day to preserve my benharri.wordpress.com subdomain. I discovered that a redirect costs $13/year to be able to send your traffic to your own site. This all feels so hypocritical with Matt Mullenweg’s recent ranting about WP Engine disabling post revisions. Bro, come on…. wp.com is just as bad if…

Put together a silly little php script to build an SVG QR code dynamically. This started a while ago as a quick way to get a printable QR code for each pinball machine that would shoot you to an issue report form with the name of the game prefilled. I previously generated a bunch of…

Worth the read if you have a spare moment. So, there’s a man crawling through the desert. He’d decided to try his SUV in a little bit of cross-country travel, had great fun zooming over the badlands and through the sand, got lost, hit a big rock, and then he couldn’t get it started again.…

Saving this as a post here for my future reference. The key to getting the “default” fonts to apply to plain-text (and all mails with the allow messages to use other fonts setting off) is also changing the fonts for Other Writing Systems. Why is it like this? Who knows! This answer brought to you…

Theme I’m running a mildly customized version of Pulitzer. I’ve used the Create Block Theme plugin to export my changes and have published it as a standalone child theme here. Changes…

WordPress block themes have grown on me. Spent a couple hours this weekend sprucing up tcpinball.org. Found this lovely block theme and it all came together quite nicely. Had a strange bug where the Navigation block stopped working on certain pages. Didn’t find the actual cause but it fixed itself when I disabled the Gutenberg…

[… we] estimate that DNSSEC validation is performed around 1% of the time, given the DNS query profile of today’s data I run my own authoritative nameservers and have had a slight nagging feeling that I should’ve enabled DNSSEC years ago. It’s been on my perpetual to-do list but I’ve never gotten around to it.…

Stumbled upon a silly blog I made for one of the German classes I took in undergrad. The account it was under used my long-dead @nmu.edu email so I ended up having to contact support to get back into it. Also found the final project page. I imported the posts and pages to this site…
