every few days some rando will start sending unsolicited activitypub messages to my server. what is the motivation there? i guess on some fediverse server types these will show up on the federated timeline or something?

I can't go into a grocery store without hearing music from the 1980's. It's not where I expected things to be musically in the 2020's but, leaning in a bit, please consider Urgh! A Music War (1981), a collection of live tracks from lesser known bands and performers like Oingo Boingo, Klaus Nomi, Wall of Voodoo, and many more (okay, The Police, too)!

I'd really like to hear more of this in grocery stores...!

TIL scripting media queries... gone are the days of the no-js class on the body tag...

i'm working on improving the ktistec user experience when javascript is disabled.

ktistec uses trix as its rich text editor.聽 of course. trix doesn't work without javascript. behind the scenes, however, trix uses a hidden textarea to hold the body of the post being edited. using scripting media queries, ktistec can now show (or hide) either the editor or the textarea based on the availability of javascript (2030b26b).聽

i'm working toward providing a decent experience in ktistec with javascript turned off.聽 the first step was emitting minified css instead of using the webpack style loader plugin to apply css via javascript (fd7a5369).

what is the state of the art in copyleft licenses? (fwiw, i put ktistec under AGPL because i wanted to cover modifications as part of services running over a network, and i wanted the virality, but maybe there are/were other options)
