There used to be a Mac app to add holiday lights to your menu bar. This weekend I realized it would be pretty easy to build a lightweight web component with the help of Copilot.
Christmas Lights is a WordPress plugin, but you could use the web component on any website.
Email has been broken on my WordPress install for quite some time. I finally fixed it recently and I wanted a way to monitor usage.
WordPress normally sends transactional emails about things like password resets. The volume is not much on most sites, but it’s important that they’re delivered.
You can pass your Postfix logs through pflogsumm to analyze the logs and make sure everything is healthy and, importantly, that you’re not generating spam emails.
It turns out a website I host for a family member had a contact form that was generating a lot of spam! I switched it to a Jetpack Form with spam protection by Akismet. Problem solved.
Christian Selig on the iPhone Air cameras:
The only area I’ve kinda been disappointed on is the camera situation. No, not the telephoto, I really never used that personally. And not the ultrawide, for me that just felt too wide. But the ultrawide did allow for awesome macro capabilities that this iPhone Air is sorely lacking.
This is so interesting to me. I feel like the only thing I’m missing with the iPhone Air is a telephoto lens. I knew that would be the thing I missed the most, but I didn’t realize quite how often I used it. It will be another hard choice next year if I have to choose between an iPhone Air with no telephoto lens and an iPhone Pro.
My requirements
- Should use a domain I already own
- Should follow modern web standards and have decent SEO
- It should be very easy to add new content
- All pages should be statically built
I would add that it should have RSS.
Some of the remedies proposed in the case risk the future of our Firefox browser and Gecko browser engine—the last remaining non-Big Tech browser engine.
In the coming weeks, we hope to see a shift to focus on remedies that can improve search competition without harming the pro-competitive role that Firefox and other independent browsers play in the ecosystem.
I’ve been saying for a while that I can’t imagine how Mozilla continues without this funding from Google. I’m not particularly opposed to the government breaking up monopolies, but this entire case doesn’t make sense. What does it look like to break out Chrome as a separate company? How could such a company make money without a search deal that has how been deemed to be illegal?
