I like Bluesky a lot and I like Mastodon too but mostly I really like websites tbh

People: there should be a social media platform that’s not owned by a corporation and can’t die due to lack of investment

Mastodon: hi, we-

People: no

Sad to hear about Cohost, I thought it was really neat.

Astro Bot is so so good.

Well Kato refuses to go near the cat flap but it’s serving well as a window for all the neighbourhood cats.

First time I’ve managed a 5k in under half an hour since I was a teenager. To most runners I’m sure this is nothing but I’m ecstatic.

I’m sorry to say it’s just a very ugly cURL script! It looks like this:

url="$(echo $note | sed -e 's|content|https://www.joelotter.com|' -e 's|\.md|/|')"

echo "Waiting for URL to become available..."
until $(curl --output /dev/null --silent --head --fail $url); do
  printf '.'
  sleep 5
done
echo "Page is up."

Had a very cute visitor today.

A lovely day at the footy. 7-0!

Thanks! I’d heard a little bit about Astro but not really read into it - from looking at it just now I think it’s probably a bit more heavyweight than what I’d need. Additionally I’ve reached the point where anything running on Node activates a trauma response in my brain. 😆
