A quick reminder: dueling URL parsers is a path to pain and sorrow.
(blogged two years ago)

I have had my share of adventures with URL parsers and their differences in the past. The current state of my research on the topic of (failed) URL interoperability remains available in this GitHub document.daniel.haxx.se
"Please do not use Google AI to find out our specials. Please go on our Facebook page or our website," the restaurant wrote in a weary Facebook post. "Google AI is not accurate and is telling people specials that do not exist which is causing angry customers yelling at our employees."
"We cannot control what Google posts or says," the post added, "and we will not honor the Google AI specials."

To defend against Russian tanks, Finland and Poland consider restoring wetlands
Finland and Poland are both considering rewetting dried out peatbogs to form defence barriers against a potential Russian ground invasion. Restoring these natural carbon sinks could also bring significant environmental benefits.

One of the benefits of eSpeak-NG is that it doesn't make assumptions like reading "CUP" is Cuban Pesos (hello US OneCore voices) - but the flip side is that eSpeak will read the year 1987 as "nineteen hundred eighty seven". If you'd like it to read that as "nineteen eighty seven" & learn a little #regex on the way, then @fastfinge has you covered with the "Correcting Years With NVDA and Espeak" blog post: stuff.interfree.ca/2025/08/28/…

Anthropic PBC told a pair of courts in July that a judge’s order approving class-action status for authors’ copyright lawsuit over millions of pirated books put “inordinate pressure” on the company to settle a case that could kill the company.Annelise Levy (news.bloomberglaw.com)
"AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry."
Win win.

Played a bit more with #fruitstand (github.com/BasementCat/fruitst…) from @Wren this evening, now my ePaper display (seeedstudio.com/XIAO-7-5-ePape…) came in.
I've never been so excited seeing an "Internal Server Error" displayed on the screen, because it comes from the server!
In just an evening I got my CI-built container properly tested, reported some bugs, fixed an issue and got the ESP32 properly linked to the Fruitstand webserver with #esphome.
Been a while since I enjoyed hacking on stuff this much :)

I'm not seeing the DB migration in the README but yeah that was one of the issues I ran into (I'm thinking the Docker container should probably just auto-migrate on launch), but sadly that's not this issue: github.com/BasementCat/fruitst…
I'm starting to feel it may be some config issue, like, maybe there is no default config for plugins until you explicitly save. And maybe they're not saving on my side for some reason. I'll debug more later, I'm already glad about the progress of yesterday :)

You were right about the database migration being documented in the README, my bad!
I'm not sure which exact action got stuff working eventually, but well, Fruitstand is working for me now, which is lovely :)
I'd like to document how to make seeedstudio.com/XIAO-7-5-ePape… work with Fruitstand somewhere. Do you have any preference? A new page under github.com/BasementCat/fruitst…? Something else?

Managed to make my TRMNL server "Queerminal" to support modules, so it now loops between an RSS feed and my calendar. Next up I need to make a weather view. Then clean up the code **a lot** and maybe it's ready for more public usage.Scalie Zone
"Mostly" as in, whatever is in the "pages" branch gets published as HTML, so you will have to modify your build scripts for the CI system you switch to. But given the commands will stay the same that would be fairly minimal amounts of work.
Then we get to the level of multiple repositories though, so you may want to move Fruitstand to a GitHub organisation for clarity (though not required).
Could also just put markdown files in the current Fruitstand repo but that is more limiting.
Understandable! It seems I have permission to edit the Wiki (it might be set to public), so it accidentally published the moment I hit save. I hope that's okay anyway :)
I might tweak this if more stuff comes up, but for now, I'm considering github.com/BasementCat/fruitst… to be "correct documentation". Feel free to change/ask as you see fit :)
