Just in case you're feeling a distinct lack of puppets and odd music videos in your life. 👀

Actually impressed with the "manage subscriptions" function in Gmail.

It just took me like 2 minutes to unsubscribe from a whole bunch of nonsense.

I keep thinking about how we need a federated and 'more resilient to no internet' code interaction mechanisms and my brain keeps going out to mailing lists with just a friendlier UI. Like, that's literally solving everything (barring the replication of the codebase, just have different git hosts/mirrors ig?)

Like, why are we not doing it again?

Moving away from WordPress – important* info

When I started this blog in 2017, I picked WordPress almost at random, just so I could get started with something. And it has worked well enough.

But:

• it’s not cheap
• it’s a pain to make layout adjustments
• the post editor is clunky and sluggish
• WordPress.com sites are at least partially hosted in the US.

Because my blog is essentially a static website (comments section aside), I’ve decided to switch to a static site generator (Eleventy/Build Awesome) and a fully European web hosting provider (statichost.eu), which offers a free tier for small sites like mine.

How this might affect you

If you follow the blog, this will be the last post you’ll be notified about. After that, there will be:

• no more email updates
• no more WordPress notifications
• no more Mastodon cross-posting.

If you still want to hear from me

The transponderings blog is not dead, and I do plan to post from time to time (when my AuDHD brain allows!).

You will be able to:

• visit transponderings.blog as before
• follow/discuss/support the blog on Ko-fi
• follow the blog and get notifications using an RSS newsreader.

Thank you so much for supporting my blog. ☺️
