@bender So far so good 😊 I'll let you know how things go though!

@prologic is iMessages iCloud synchronization disabled? Applications might stop working, and functionality rendered worthless the more you block.

I keep getting this email occadionally:

Your iCloud storage is almost full

Now for various reasons, I don't want my children to be using iCloud to store data, files, photos or any of the sort. They're free to use iMessages, and other Apple services like the App Store, etc, but not storage.

So I've set about blocking iCloud Storage API(s) via AdGuard Home tonight as well as ensuring that my local network (client users) cannot bypass DNS policies and get out other sneaky ways, because some applications will just use other DNS servers, or DOH or DOT.

@important_dev_news Fuxk me decision makers are fuxking stupid sometimes 🤣

The people that design these bills and laws are unhinged.

@movq Good glad to hear it 😄

@movq Where do you stand on this nonsense? 🧐😆🤣

@klaxzy Fuxk yeah 🙌

@important_dev_news Thank fuxk 🤣

@movq how do you set your clock to use a specific time signal radio station? I have one wall clock in my office, it works great, but no way to set that.

@lyse Cool! 😎 You might be interested in my own learnings and toying around with building my own container engine / tooling (whatever you wanna call it) box. I had to learn a bunch of this stuff too 😅 Control Groups, Namespaces, Process Isolation, etc.

@bender See the problem is you don't live in the "busy" enough 😂 There are roaches everywhere here! 🤣 LOL snakes too! Plovers, Magpies, Crows, Spiders, even Deer for fucks sake 😂

@prologic I wouldn't know where to look for little cockroaches, or roaches, in general! LOL. We buy seeds to feed them. But not around the neighborhood, otherwise we would have a problem. 😅

@bender We have quite a few that are basically part of our friendly neighborhood. They knew we won't chase them aware, scare them, etc. In fact some of us find little cockroaches to feed them, tose 'em up in the air and watch them sweep in and grab the little suckers 🤣

@bender Dunno 🤷

@prologic something happened on this one’s neck, right? Or was it a blow of wind that ruffled the feathers?

Now I feel the urge to go around looking for one of “my own” to share. 😅 I love crows, ravens, magpies, all of them in the corvidae family.

@lyse Here's my magpie 🤣

This ☝️

@movq damn! those are some fine looking chickens 😆

@zvava feeds are fetched at least every 5m (if they've changed)

@prologic woohoo! Take that, micro.crap! :-D

And my new migrated blog is up woohoo 🥳 https://prologic.blog/

@movq exactly! 🤣

That Manton guy is so incredible dull, not even funny: https://www.manton.org/2025/10/03/apparently-there-was-some-drama.html

They look the same to the naked eye. Of course, I checked your raw feed, and saw only one.

@itsericwoodward hmmm, what was this, an edit, a deletion?

@movq can't you use generic drivers? I did that for an enterprise copier/printer/scanner we used to have at work, and it worked just fine!

Of course, all things optional is fine. Like, it will be ignored (just like banner would) for clients having no knowledge of it.

@zvava agreed. I think display_name will be redundant, and add to the "busy" factor. That is, the opposite of simplicity.

@lyse Bahahahaha 🤣😆

@thecanine content warning please! I had to go home and change, if you catch my drift. LOL. Well done!

@aelaraji, I mean to follow up here on the brief exchange we had on irc.mills.io, but I forgot. Never too late, so here it goes:

18:16 <aelaraji> quark 🙏 much appreciated but it won't be necessary, since there isn't much to miss out on in most of  where I hang out, so I could just disconnect and spare everyone else the noise 
18:17 *** aelaraji (aelaraji@776014f5a3edd32f1ed19658b7b85c8c655945b0feacaedd92fe60e61a3c0ae2) has quit (/ME goes "yeeeeet..!")
18:18 <quark> No noise for me. 
18:18 <quark> It’s all good. 
18:18 <quark> What would IRC be without on/offs?
18:19 <quark> Preeeety boring!
18:19 <quark> Ah, he was gone. 
18:19 <quark> Well, I will twtxt this to him.  LOL. 

@zvava the second format (the one you think should be changed to), is it backwards compatible to what's currently in place? I believe the first one would be.

@movq Same 👌

@itsericwoodward Cool! 😎

@bender Yes! What you're seeing in the demo is just demoing the routes file and redirects, etc/. Pathing more.

@alexonit so, a PWA, right?

Wouldn’t a deleted post not show on the list, and if referred from elsewhere render a 404?

@prologic ready, set, goooooooo!

I think I'm just about ready to go live with my new blog (migrated from MicroPub). I just finished migrating all of the content over, fixing up metadata, cleaning up, migrating media, optimizing media.

The new blog for prologic.blog soon to be powered by zs using the zs-blog-template is coming along very nicely 👌 It was actually pretty easy to do the migration/conversation in the end. The results are not to shabby either.

Before:

• ~50MB repo
• ~267 files

After:

• ~20MB repo
• ~88 files

@movq Yeah I was gonna say 😅 The problem isn't that bad 🤣 But still we should fix this soon™ 🔜

@movq You were seeing that mayn hash collisions for you to notice this? 😱

@bender I've made several improvements today, tightened up the line height and density of the text plus a few other nice things too! I think I'm ready to start migrating my blog over to this 😅

@bender I agree ! I reckon the line height could be a bit smaller 👌

@prologic it is looking good! On mobile, I find that the line height is too large for my liking, and that text takes too much space. I would like it a bit more dense. But that’s just my taste.

I haven’t checked in desktop; I try not to touch desktop on weekends. 😂

Pretty happy with my zs-blog-template starter kit for creating and maintaining your own blog using zs 👌 Demo of what the starter kit looks like here -- Basic features include:

• Clean layout & typography
• Chroma code highlighting (aligned to your site palette)
• Accessible copy-code button
• “On this page” collapsible TOC
• RSS, sitemap, robots
• Archives, tags, tag cloud
• Draft support (hidden from lists/feeds)
• Open Graph (OG) & Twitter card meta (default image + per-post overrides)
• Ready-to-use 404 page

As well as custom routes (redirects, rewrites, etc) to support canonical URLs or redirecting old URLs as well as new zs external command capability itself that now lets you do things like:

$ zs newpost

to help kick-start the creation of a new post with all the right "stuff"™ ready to go and then pop open your $EEDITOR 🤞

#awesome #zs

@lyse Very cool! 😎
