Wondering what to do now that Pocket is gone?

I have been taking Polaroids of my garden and the views from it and divided them into seasons - an ongoing project that started a few years ago and here are a few from Winter on the Pennines.

Obsidian introducing a Markdown-based databases feels like a big step towards Notion/Airtables/Trello in legible plain text on your machine. In some ways, it seems weird that we didn't do this twenty years ago. In other ways, it feels very futuristic.

Such a fat baby #FelineFriday #cat #throwback #filmphotography

Skype and Pocket gone this month. Ten years ago the big platforms seemed infinitely useful. Now they feel like a liability.

As a former Pocket user (currently on Reeder) I’m starting to look into self-hosted, Markdown-based read-it-later. So far the `nb` CLI looks really good (though you need your own reader interface). My dream is a Markdown reader with MD ==highlighting==. Feels like a side project 👀

Halifax's housing market is insane, but you can still buy a house downtown for $650,000 — which gives me the unsettling feeling that the real market adjustment in Halifax's North End still hasn't happened.

Germans will look at a keg and be like “it’s giving beer”.

Folks who manage your own domain for personal email: how do you do it? For years I’ve used Gmail, supplemented with email forwards in Godaddy, but I’m getting more and more frustrated. I want something that gives me more control, freedom, and durability.

"Functionally the same but blurrier" — Google in 2025.

Automations might offer worse results than humans, for more money, but businesses will still choose the robots because they undermine worker bargaining power.

When Facebook, Apple, Google, and Twitter collectively killed RSS.

I’ve got my 120gb monochrome iPod set up with about 6000 high-res songs, all tagged and organized 😌 (I think I’m at 20% capacity). It even has dynamic playlists based on multiple genres and sub-genres like “Chill Indie” or “Canadian.”

Why is Google informing me that Robert Deniro is a hip hop artist?

There’s not a lot of inspiration to be found in the tech world these days, but the releases from this team remind me that we can still do awesome work, and that’s pretty inspiring.

I'm listening to FLAC files (from my old hard drive) on my flash-modded 128GB 4th-generation monochrome iPod classic ($145 on Kijiji) using Rockbox (free open source software) with high-end headphones ($80 on Kijiji). This sounds and feels amazing. And it's all "obsolete."

We all screamed when it finally fell.

I could not believe what I was seeing, and I had to scramble to set up and snap this. Fuji GX680 with the 300mm on Portra 400. It's obviously underexposed but it was a really grim day and even with bracketing, this is the best I got. #filmphotography

I just googled an email address and the google ai offered suggestions for how to check if the email address is real, including, I shit you not, their first suggestion: attempt a password reset in gmail. Google suggests resetting strangers’ google passwords for a fun invasion of privacy.

My mom, Cindy Littlefair, had an amazing life. I wrote a little about it, because the grief feels lighter when I think of her story living on in the hearts of others. I‘ll never stop missing her. www.littlefair.ca/posts/mom
