I bought a 2nd hand gravel bike today because my race bike (Cube Agree GTC SL) is really not well-suited to safely ride in icy/ wet conditions. So happy to show off my new old Specialized Diverge which I will happily also take off-road 🙂

So regarding that new EU social network (which is said to be decentralized but unclear if that implies ActivityPub which would make it more relevant in my book); entering a string in the “invitation code” and clicking “continue” does not result in an XHR request to the server and there’s a lot of JS on the page to handle the invitation code.
This implies the code is checked in the browser so the correct code(s) is somewhere in the JavaScript. So it should be possible to reverse-engineer it, no? 😉
Any takers for this challenge?
Pretty sure no-one is waiting for this, but after having spent a couple of years on the Fediverse (Mastodon in my case) I decided to add ActivityPub support to my WordPress installation via the ActivityPub plugin.
I have the WP Rest Cache plugin active, so I’m expecting things to gently hum along, without (most likely) or with these posts gaining traction.
Kudo’s to Stian and Servebolt for assisting me to get the webfinger endpoint to work, which is … not self-explanatory on hosts that have unoverrideable configuration on the .well-known folder 🙂
I watched a movie this evening which featured the main actress singing “Both sides now” and is was moving until it became too musical-like for my taste. But now I’m in a Joni rabbit hole again, listening to all great versions of Joni performing that song. One of the earliest live video’s I found was from 1969 and on the other end of the timescale there’s the Grammy one from 2024 with Brandi Carlile, but for me the most touching rendition by far is this orchestral one from 2000;
Currently the last lines of code are being added/ reviewed to integrate a “wizard” tab in Autoptimize Pro, which should help new users to switch between different presets all while keeping backups of original settings so one can easily try out different optimization levels. Have a look at below screenshot to see where we’re taking this 🙂
And while we’re at it; have a great 2026, whether you’re using Autoptimize, AOPro or if you’re just reading this out of curiosity!
Lopen er gangen van de (Belgisch) Limburgse mijnen onder uw huis? Dat kunt U misschien aan de hand van onderstaande “ongeveer juiste” kaart zien, die ik uit nieuwsgierigheid op basis van de kaart van de Facebook-pagina van de “Kempense Steenkoolmijnen – vriendenkring” maakte. De positionering is op basis van de loop de Maas gedaan en zou dus min of meer correct kunnen zijn.
Op het eerste zicht geen gangen onder mijn huis, maar als we rekening houden met een serieuze foutenmarge (die Maas paste niet 100%), kunnen we daar toch niet zeker van zijn 🙂
Op mijn fietstochtje vandaag, terwijl ik door Borgharen reed, schonk een mij voor altijd onbekende wandelaar me een gulle glimlach. Amper een secondje verbondenheid en dan de zon die kort daarna doorbrak en mij Winterzonnewende op de fiets was memorabel!
Fuck, ik word volgende week 57! Eigenlijk heb ik daar best vrede mee, net als met mijn kalend hoofd. Maar anderzijds stellen mensen zich af en toe de vraag wie ze zijn en ook daar ben ik geen uitzondering op.
Ik ben onder andere:
As a long-time Radiohead fan I was happy to see video of their first gig in many years and although did enjoy the set I don’t have the feeling I’m missing out on anything really. Great songs, great musicians but nothing new, nothing really unexpected (not counting a couple of songs that they only very rarely perform live).
I watched the vid and then switched to a The Smile live show from 2024 and (although) it’s very different and -to me- a lot more relevant than what Radiohead is doing now which (to me) seems “just” a rehash of past greatness maybe?

Crazy that this requires an explicit opt-out by the way, it really should be opt-in (so off by default).
More info about this can be found at tweakers.net by the way.
