In case anyone was wondering, the victorious pheasant from last week’s battle is this one. He has his lunch under the bird feeder most days and otherwise prowls around making sure other male pheasants don’t intrude on his territory. He’s also not at all bothered by our 2 cats. #birds #ukbirds

The reason the modern 'CDN' is so complicated and layered is because what 'content' it delivers has changed, what 'networks' it uses has changed (enormous bits of the internet are in CDNs of various stripes) and even what 'delivery' looks like is different; so many more possibilities these days

You can find out how to create a subdomain handle for a bridged account here: bsky.social/about/blog/4... (look for the phrase "How can I set a subdomain as my handle?")

@kevinmarks.com I've also tweaked some of my rss code and when I checked your simple reader, it all looks good now. But would you mind checking your longreader to see if it looks ok?
