Computers are the worst. - My site was running like a dog today because I was getting hit by some scraper that was trying to grab every single post, so I turned on WAF rules in Cloudfront which solved that problem (but will probably cost me a stupid amount) but then I suddenly couldn't upload any images so obviously one of the rules was blocking that but which one? which necessitated an hourlong dive into various logs until we narrowed it down to the exact rule and turned that off so now...

Overgrown - I normally skim through the Boing Boing RSS feed pretty quickly, but I did a double-take when I recognised @devdevcharlie in the screenshot! (https://boingboing.net/2026/10/28/chrome-extension-lets-weeds-overgrow-your-neglected-browser-tabs.html) They linked to a fun Chrome extension she built that fills your abandoned browser tabs with weeds. I love that Charlie is getting back to building cool stuff online. I remember seeing her control a drone with a Leap Motion back in 2014, and...

Threadloop - Any sewists on Threadloop? It's meant to be a "Ravelry for sewing," of sorts. I set up a profile (https://threadloop.app/members/web-goddess) and added the shirt I finished yesterday. I'm impressed with the pattern database, which found nearly everything in my library. Interestingly though, they don't even attempt to create a fabric database. You can catalogue your stash, but it's all just user-generated with no attempt at creating a...

Sydney Open at the State Library - 500 visitors, several glasses of champagne, and one luxurious bath later, I’m happy to declare Sydney Open 2026 over! Thank you to the 11 amazing women who devoted part of their Sunday to welcoming visitors to one of our city’s premiere cultural destinations. ❤️ https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/95646

Recent media - I neglected to blog some media we recently consumed. I read Margaret Atwood’s The Penelopiad, which was a nice counter to all the heroic Greek myths we read and saw this year. My review on Goodreads: I expected a retelling of The Odyssey from Penelope’s perspective. I didn’t, however, expect it to be narrated by […] https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/95649

Finished! Periwinkle shirt in vintage cotton voile - I made my second Periwinkle shirt, this one out of a vintage cotton voile I got at the Destash market a couple weeks back. It’s a little drapier than the Tana Lawn, and it’s also a little more sheer. I was worried that you’d be able to see the design through the two layers of […] https://www.web-goddess.org/archive/95660

We should all have the delusional self-confidence of the mediocre dude recruiter who just spammed me with a PHP developer job opening, 17 years after I last had that as a job title. 🙄

“Cuis: The modern Smalltalk-80” Another fork of Squeak that has been around for a while, but this is the first time I’ve heard about it. https://cuis.st/

RE: https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@openbsdjournal/117541137348402483 It’s pretty funny that we’ll soon be at a point where every BSD will have a modern file system out of the box, but not Linux

Everyone who keeps backyard chickens probably learns this lesson the hard way, you need a really good system to keep track of how old the eggs are otherwise you occasionally crack a rotten one and stink up your whole kitchen

Made the mistake of using Google to convert kilograms into pounds and now I'm getting weight loss ads

Fuck you, #Amazon. The package bin is literally 10 feet to my left.

Attitudes aside, if @protonprivacy is going all-in on AI then I can no longer trust their security or reliability. It’s too bad. I’ve been a user for a decade and like their services. They’ve crept into a lot of my life. I can replace email and password management. I think I’ll roll my own file cloud. VPN will be the hardest to replace. https://www.404media.co/manifestos-fear-and-loser-thinking-inside-protons-ai-reckoning/

Saw a lot of nice Patrick Stewart tribute edits on YouTube, then I stumbled across the first AI one. NOPE. Guess I’ve seen enough.

So I was thinking of Nextcloud or similar rolling my own to replace Proton Drive. But then I have to worry about backups, security, and updating. Right now in the early morning darkness I’m thinking that PAPER may be the revolutionary technology that my filing system needs. I already have the hardware; it can’t get hacked; no security patches…backup is still an issue but not insurmountable

Setting up for fall entertaining in the yard and I’ve discovered that my hot dog steamer no longer wants to hold water. Yes I have (had?) a hot dog steamer. I don’t feel like grilling, so it looks like we’ll be ordering out for lunch.

Happy “I didn’t know I owned so many clocks” week to all who celebrate. Much like Holy Week, each day has a theme. Today is Why Is There A Clock in the Bathroom Sunday.
