"Your trauma made you stronger."
No, my trauma made me traumatized, it made me weak, gave me sleepless nights, and memory loss. It gave me feelings I've never wanted. I made myself stronger, by dragging myself out of a dark place, and dealing with consequences that weren't my fault.

Why did @dletorey@mastodon.social give everyone floppy disks as lanyards this year at #SotB2023? “If your homepage doesn’t fit on one of these, you’re an idiot and you’re doing it wrong!”
Did #slack get rid of the ability to customise theme by Hex Code? Weirdly I can click "share" and get a copy of the hexcodes, but there's nowhere to set new ones that I can see?
Every day Slack works further away from the independent non-corporate vibe we all used to appreciate.
Hark! A person with #ADHD has decided that this will definitely be the time they will become focused and organised. The other 56 attempts were just a practice run and don't count.

I spent most of the day working on Meetable, my event listing website that powers https://events.indieweb.org and a few other sites. Some great new features and bugfixes!
• Added passkeys for admin …
There was a time in my life when I was working on open source, like, every weeknight and weekend. I was contributing to tools I used as well as my own OSS projects. Just firing on all cylinders.
After a few years I got super burned out (https://nolanlawson.com/2017/03/05/what-it-feels-like-to-be-an-open-source-maintainer/). These days I kind of feel like my weekends and evenings are sacred. I file bugs on browsers and OSS projects constantly, but I usually do it as part of my 9-to-5.
Contributing to the commons is a noble cause, but man is it tiring.
More #strangeloop thoughts. I have a hard time gauging when sensory nuisances impact my stress level, so went with wearing ear protection as much as possible.
I intentionally wore the big yellow gun range protectors not just to make it easier to find me, but to more openly show that wearing ear protection is a thing. Had I known it earlier, many conferences would have been much easier to attend.

BREAKING NEWS: A generation that knows nothing about #RSS and #Atom has finally grown up.
During the podcast recording today, a user in a live chat reached out to me saying that the #feed button on my personal site is broken 'cause it returns an #XML.

Happy bi visibility day! Yes, I am married to a beautiful man who I love. But I'm #StillBi. Not gay.
Same as we shouldn't assume a person's gender by how they look, we shouldn't assume a person's orientation by who their partner is.

“Side projects don’t need to be monetised to be valid. They don’t need to become NPM packages or open source projects.” @ohhelloana@mastodon.social #SotB2023
Sorry, what company removes their TOS they published a couple years previous for transparency, because it had a low view count?

🥺 just a little guy
🥺 why are you doing this to me

Well that was an exciting couple of days. Love rambling on stage to people - ignite/lightning talks are a new kind of nervous energy, you don't have enough time for the adrenalin spike to stop before you're off the stage!
Thoroughly enjoyed #DevOpsDaysLDN and looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions for next year!
One of the things about coming on mastodon is you’re never just scrolling around and come across a new kind of porn you’d never even imagined existed, it’s terrible
As you may have noticed, I’m in the middle of revamping my blog. It’s now a
static site, run via Hugo and Cloudflare
Pages. I was planning to use
Disqus for comments, but changed my mind when I realised it meant ads and
tracking. This led to a search for alternatives which ended in choosing
Webmention.
Slack tip: ⌘⇧S (command shift s) expands the workplace switcher to a dedicated column.
Allows you to see which workspace has new activity without needing to tap to expand the list first.
