@sinbad try Zola if you want a true single binary site generator, your markdown file and theme can probably be ported quite easily

Also, via a mastodon promotion campaign by @sinbad I got myself a Hag Capisco Puls chair recently (at $500, so yeah, not cheap at all);

I do love the build quality and find myself changing sit posture quite a lot, just because it has so many knobs to play with.

A few things nag me:

1. its backrest is a bit wobbly and AFAIK, by design.

2. it is somehow less comfortable *with seat cushion installed*.

3. it is sometimes called the Joe Rogan chair because of his show and recommendation.

“Assuming a large, polished and centralized web service adding an open protocol will somehow bring new users to many indie, rough-around-the-edge, underfunded websites, then somehow become less dependent on the large web service.” is the most optimistic thinking I have read this year.

Mastodon 4.2 fixes 2 problems I do like:

- Image thumbnail is now larger and it will try to keep the image's original aspect ratio.

- The "copy link to post" is finally the source permalink for the post, not the instance cached link of the post.

Both are very good if you are into anime art and sharing them across platforms :)

@PeiLun damn didn’t expect the pixel graphics (probably from the world flipper team)

@Sujiyan I think this article captures my more recent views: unbounded high yield is unnatural and our chase of it is what doomed us to supply chain failure. Web3 doesn’t leave me with good taste given its stands.

Not sure how I feel about all major Japanese-oriented mastodon instances falling under one company, we will see how it pans out as decentralized network do tend to aggregate due to people’s preference for convenience and zero cost. (See email servers and web 1.0->2.0 transition)
