I needed to combine 2 images together into 1 file. The images contained sensitive information so I did not want to use any of the typical image editing tools that train AI on that data. Decided ImageMagick would do:

magick img1.jpg img2.jpg -append combined-vertically.jpg

magick img1.jpg img2.jpg +append combined-horizontally.jpg

Convenient!

This happy red-bellied black snake kept a close eye on us but did not flee. It seemed content basking in the sun.

Today I discovered Safari's "Distraction Control" feature, which lets you hide distracting items. This will be handy for removing elements that cover the content and elements with looping animations.

Most importantly, it's fun to dissolve them out of existence. Poof!

Hmm, I have an SVG with a textPath to show some wiggly text and now I want to do some post-processing on it in Figma, but when I open it in Figma, the text layer contains no text?

Any suggestions? Can I convert a text/textPath to outline/path in the browser using JavaScript somehow? Could I calculate the x/y/rotation of each letter using JavaScript somehow and replace the textPath? Have I missed some obvious, easy alternative?

It still surprises (offends?) me that LinkedIn has games.

Which brings me to my latest Stylus style!

Testing Vite PWAs on iOS:

- on the Mac, run the vite npm script with --host to expose (eg `npm run dev -- --host`)
- visit the network IP and chosen port in Safari on iPhone (vite will display the network URL or I can option-click the wifi symbol to find the IP address)
- in Settings app, Safari, turn off "Not Secure Connection Warning" to get past "Navigation failed because the request was for an HTTP URL with HTTPS-only enabled"
- tap share button and "Add to Home Screen"
- to uninstall, tap and hold then delete

Testing on macOS:

- open the same link in Safari
- click the share button and "Add to Dock"
- to uninstall, open `~/Applications` in the home directory (not `/Applications`) and remove it

I forget these details every time.
