If you’re a feed reader developer/contributor and want to help thousands of sites with misconfigured server caching reduce their hosting costs:

  • Support conditional-GET with Last-Modified headers.
  • Support conditional-GET with ETag headers.
  • Support the RSS ttl element in feed markup.
  • Support the syndication module in feed markup.
  • Request compressed formats (gzip and Brotli; Zstd is also becoming available now). libcurl should have support, if you’re using that.

Feeds are some of the most-requested pages on a lot of sites, and full-text feeds are often rather large. The feed-paging module helps but not everyone aggressively pages since client support is limited.

I like the idea of having one feed containing everything I’ve written, even if it isn’t the default feed. A single-file archive of my site optimized for feed readers. But if my default feed becomes paginated (the Brotli-compressed version is approaching 300kb; I’ll paginate it once it crosses 500kb), I’ll want my alternate unpaginated full-text feed to have very conservative refreshing.

I imagine a hypothetical future in which I host my site on a single-board computer on a home internet connection, and I build my site for that use-case.

in reply to Seirdy

People have been hosting websites for decades and misconfigured server caching is still a thing. It won’t go away. Client developers can’t expect servers to all be well-behaved, and should make leeway for this reality when reasonable.


I’ve been thinking a lot about this extraordinary song by the UK folk group the Young’uns. In stunning style, it tells the true story of a young man in the anti-fascist protest in London in 1936. It makes me ask myself each time, how much courage do I have?

I downloaded the entire AppleVis website locally on my Mac, which took up approximately 30GB of disk space.


Did you know Tuta has these keyboard shortcuts? To see more simply press F1.

hey, for those of us who aren't Windows users and never have been strongly, could you make "?" also be a shortcut to help? (Some of us also use compact keyboards, or are otherwise used to ctrl and alt instead of F-keys...)

There should be a law against this.

Dřevěné arkýře v historických centrech měst na Maltě. Nejčastěji jsou k vidění v hlavním městě.
Některé zdroje uvádějí možný původ z Maroka. Balkónky mají stanovené rozměry a příliš nevyčnívají do úzkých uzlíček, aby je ještě více nezužovaly. Zpravidla mají 4 vyklápěcí okna.

So thanks to a number of you out there I now have tried Enafore for Mastodon and I am loving it. Like others including @brian_hartgen have said it is almost like using an app and not like a web browsing experience. If only the rest of the web could use this style of navigation! Happy Sunday everyone. Steven.

I'd like multiple usernames to be folded better, it's a bit of a pain hearing everyone's domains all the time.

@cachondo Yes, that's what I have for Tweesecake. I like it to say, initial name and two mentions etc, but you have the option of reviewing those names if you want them.

This is my next attempt to post a thing through the trailers account.

I am aiming for …

  1. a title here, which is ‘and a one and a two’.
  2. The content, of course, which is what you should be reading now.
  3. The link at the bottom shouldn’t have a question mark in it, because the permalink should be short,
  4. and finally we need audio to work as well.

This is largely because the trailers account will be posting … well. Trailers. and the trailers are audio things.

Imagine if #Firefox, #Chrome, and their derivatives could render Markdown, AsciiDoc, LaTeX, EPUB, and Gemtext as seamlessly as they handle PDFs. This could revolutionize the way we publish lightweight websites, making it as simple as dropping a text file into a directory.

🤔 maybe would be fastest if it was added to pdf.js mozilla.github.io/pdf.js/

Then the changes to Firefox code would be minimal, I assume.

Though until browsers support it, it could make sense to have some web server or ningx script that automatically wraps the files into a reader web app. So users can just drop in the files into SFTP and the web server wraps it when the browser doesn't support it natively.

"If you don't hear from us within the hour, you should receive an email from us in less than 6 days." is the most nonsensical sentence I've heard in a while.



USB-C is a fantastic "standard" if you are a cable manufacturer. My latest dance required trying three different cables, all unlabeled with anything other than manufacturer name, before my devices would talk to each other.

I remember people were so excited that USB-C was going to make the vagaries of USB a thing of the past, but in my experience - today was not much of an outlier - it has only accentuated them while introducing new puzzles.

The love for cars has gone so far that in many regions life is hard without a car. (though that's not only Germany and USA, but also other countries another prime example is Dubai)
Like missing public transport, missing bicycle lanes, but not only that, even missing sidewalks , so you can not even safely walk.
Also infrastructure such as stores and other places a modern society needs are spaced along car distance, so without a car you are at a disadvantage.

OK, I want to hear something utterly ridiculous.
A midi file that when converted to raw PCM, sounds like music, but for that to happen, the midi data itself would likely be really strange indeed, but it has to conform to the midi spec and be playable even if it did sound like nothing.

Mal eine Faustregel zum Thema "Sozialschmarotzer".

1. 'Sozialschmarotzer' fallen (solange damit Menschen gemeint sind, die von Bürgergeld leben, obwohl sie theoretisch 'arbeitsfähig' wären und nicht Steuerbetrüger) faktisch zahlenmässig nicht ins Gewicht.

2. Sobald politisch und gesellschaftlich dennoch von 'Sozialschmarotzern' geredet wird, wird ein Nicht-Problem zum scheinbaren Hauptproblem aufgebaut.

Curiosidad sobre las olimpiadas: en 1992 la competición de tiro era mixta, y se llevó el oro esta señora, Zhang Shan. Vamos, que ganó al resto de señoros. En consecuencia se prohibió jugar a las mujeres para las siguientes. En el 2000 se les dejó volver a competir pero aparte.
Que veo a mucha gente preguntar por qué algunos deportes no son mixtos, pues por esto, por si ellas ganan.
