Tired: Forgetting to change ”draft: true” to ”draft: false” when ready to publish Wired: Having done the same mistake so many times that you don’t start with debugging your whole build process #11ty #blogging

Man kunde tro att det här var Altingets aprilskämt, men datumet stämmer inte.

Busy weeks, and not nearly enough time to complete any of the drafts for the blog. In the meantime, at least a couple of links to interesting things I’ve read lately. https://anders.thoresson.se/post/2025/05/some-quick-suggestions-for-your-reading-list/

What is the best way to know what memory modules to get for a #SuperMicro motherboard that is a few years old and none of the options listed in the official documentation is available anymore? According the discussions around the net SM is picky about what works. #homelab #selfhosted

Looking for recommendations on good bookmark managers, as I plan to start sharing what I have in my read it later pile on the blog. https://anders.thoresson.se/post/2025/05/preparing-to-share-my-bookmark-backlog-on-the-blog/

I’m looking for a bookmark manager that 1. Is available online, from any device I use. 2. Preferably #selfhosted 3. Makes it easy to add tags (and a description) when adding new bookmarks from iOS and MacOS 4. Make #rss feeds available for the different tags (or in some other way makes it […]

> social media and social networks are two different things that have sometimes been conflated. Social media is the proverbial global town square. A social network is the web of relationships between people; these might span apps, the web, and in-person conversations alike. Yes.

I’ve written before about what I’d do if I ran Bluesky or Mastodon. But what if I started from scratch? What would it look like to build a new open social platform - one that's private-by-default, human-centered, and sustainable from day one? Here’s the blueprint I’d follow […]

"Det svenska utrikesflygets utsläpp ökade dock från 2 057 till 2 515 kiloton 2024." Kan vara bra att ha i minne nästa gång någon försöker hävda att svenskarna flyger mindre. Ja, nationellt minskar det något, men det är de långa resorna som är värst. www.sverigesnatur.org/aktuellt/de-...

Featured profiles snuck their way onto mastodon.social in a nightly build. Check out the last section of my Featured tab - only visible on Mastodon web (for now)! https://mastodon.social/@box464/featured #Mastodon #mastodonapi

Är det på Mastodon man hittar de hemliga vägarna till studentbostad i #Lund?!

I continue to think about decentralized networks. And I'm wondering, among other things, if we need squares or courtyards, and how good metaphors play a role in wise decisions. #decentralized #fediverse #selfhosting #socialmedia #socialnetworks […]

Swedish major newspaper Dagens Nyheter on location in Kharkiv as drones detonate and harm civilians around the city. Video shot this morning, while Trump was having sweet dreams about a peace-loving Putin.

Having to decide on an instance is a common criticism against #Mastodon, making it harder for new users to get started. That’s also a common argument for why #Bluesky is more frictionless for newcomers: Only place to signup. But is that only because Bluesky at the moment isn’t decentralized in […]

It is amazing how easy it is to do small tweaks to a site built with #11ty! Ten minutes, eight lines of code in the template, one new key in the frontmatter. And now there are cross-links between posts that I publish in both English and Swedish! 🇸🇪 🔗 🇬🇧 […] [Original post on thoresson.social]

Arvind Narayanan's and Sayash Kapoor's "AI as a Normal Technology" is possibly the most interesting text I've read about #AI and #society this year (and perhaps including 2024 as well). It will take some time to process all my notes for sure! To help me think this through, please share any […]

Vet ni vad?! Det här blev så lyckat att jag tar en eftermiddagssittning också! ✌️ ☕️ 📖 https://thoresson.social/@anders/114442541574741485

Nu sitter jag här igen! Med en kaffe och veckans sparade länkar. #lördag

Igår: Första styrkepasset på tre veckor. Idag: Igår känns.

@ivory Something I would love is a feature that lets me jump to the post in my feed with a timestamp as close as possible to (now minus one hour). Would be great when you have been away from mastodon for a while.

Fortsätter tänka kring decentraliserade nätverk. Och funderar bland annat på om vi behöver torg eller innegårdar, och varför bra metaforer spelar en roll för kloka beslut. https://anders.thoresson.se/post/2025/05/torg-innegardar-baettre-metaforer-och-decentraliserade-naetverk/

I think Ente is doing a cool thing here. Or two, rather. 1. Building a photo storage solution that is e2ee and uses local models for image recognition and search. 2. Clearly communicates how things work behind the scenes. https://fosstodon.org/@ente/114433618839899426

Det blir lite roligare att städa när det finns ett nytt avsnitt av Hunden Katten Glassen att lyssna på! #ifkgbg #mastoboll
