Discord now requires age verification, and why you should reconsider the age-old forum

We're not even two months into 2026, and yet another large social media network has done the seemingly unthinkable and instituted a policy that triggers a mass exodus.

I am of course talking about Discord's roll-out of age verification globally, across the entire site.

Not only will they require age verification, Discord is also utilising AI technology to analyze your content and habits to infer your age.

📝 Migrating infrastructure off Coolify #Development #Webdev #Docker #Coolify #Tailscale

I've spent a while recently migrating my personal infrastructure off Coolify. Coolify's an excellent tool and one that helped manage the initial learning curve of managing and deploying things when I started to self host things.

Searchable and sortable in every way you can imagine (by most followers, newest, by language, etc)

Announcing Mitra Mini v0.1.0

Mitra Mini is an ActivityPub client that implements nomadic identity. It has become stable enough that I decided to cut the first release.

It all started nearly four years ago with a vague idea that linking cryptographic keys to #ActivityPub actors could unlock decentralized identity in Fediverse. Eventually, the solution was discovered, and implemented by several projects, but these implementations were servers, not clients. Now there is finally a client, and the design has been proven to work well.
