I have installed the carriageway onto the track. This is what the shuttle rides along. Next step involves precariously balancing the 80 lbs light+shuttle assembly while I connect wiring. Not tonight.

I just learned when posting an image to mastodon, you have to upload the photo, then click edit to get the 'image description for the visually impaired' box.

Is there a way to get this box to show up automatically every time I attach an image, instead of having to remember where it's hidden?

I got the track installed for the medical inspection light I'm putting above my workbench. One of my kids is finally tall enough to act as a jackstand.

my kid knew he spelled a word wrong so he put a wavy underline on it like his computer does

I did figure out how to pay my mortgage by building supercomputers but I dunno how much longer that'll last

"do what you love" is fine but I haven't figured out how to pay my mortgage by sitting on my porch and staring off into space

mastodon does what I expect it to do about seventy percent of the time, and the other thirty percent of the time I look like a computer-illiterate dipshit

If you use #werc and have opinions about it, send them to me, or to the werc mailing list, or come yell about them on irc in #cat-v on freenode.

I'm pushing toward releasing a new version, so now's the time

werc now has a site-search app. it just redirects to duckduckgo, but it beats what we had before, which was a TODO to add google.

werc's default blog app, blagh, supports atom and rss, and now supports jsonfeed as well.

shoved html5 semantic elements into the default werc template. also switched it to classless css. helped someone use pandoc as the main html generator (so mixed markdown+latex stuff gets typeset properly, on the fly). next task: site search using duckduckgo, out of the box. hoping to release werc 1.5.0 on the tenth anniversary of 1.4.0

@neauoire one of my (anonymously-written) sites has a couple thousand subscribed to rss, several hundred subscribed via atom, and even a few dozen jsonfeed users. I have more readers via these feeds than I do daily pageloads and it's great

silicon valley has been promising us driverless cars for years and now it's finally been delivered and all anyone wants is a vaccine to stop it

@sigrid I want to make a version of THEY LIVE where he puts on the sunglasses and instead of OBEY CONSUME etc all the messages say shit like FUND CLIMATE RESEARCH and he just takes the sunglasses off and goes about his day and the movie ends

@neauoire thanks. is there a rundown of accessibility concerns for non-rich websites (those without scripts)? everything I know about this stuff comes from Section 508 requirements and edbrowse commit logs.

is it worth using html5 tags like <nav> and <article> and shit or is that just going to needlessly destroy backwards compatibility with older browsers? asking for a werc maintainer

shimano hollowtech ii is the worst shit

@neauoire @sigrid I made this when aiju was disappointed we didn't have a non-asshole site someone could put on a resume or show to suits

I tried for sarcastic nougat with a candy shell of modern brochureware
