I have a rule to never *ever* buy anything immediately just because it looks cool, or is a great deal, or "this special offer must end soon". Anyway, these looked cool, and arrived today from Aliexpress!

anyone remember back in the 90s before google when search engines were just dogshit and it was really hard to find anything, and what search engines there were would sometimes just give you completely unrelated pages full of gibberish?
man, that was a terrible time for the web

FeedEcho exists because I used and loved Echofeed, the little service that cross-posted your RSS feed to Mastodon, Bluesky, and more. When it was announced that it was shutting down, I knew I would miss it, so I built a service inspired by it.

FeedEcho watches your RSS or Atom feed and sends new posts wherever you want: Mastodon, Bluesky, micro.blog, Matrix, Discord, email, or a plain webhook. Images and alt text come along, multi-image posts work on Mastodon and Bluesky.

It's open source if you want to self-host, and there's a paid hosted version at feedecho.net if you'd rather just point it at your feed and move on. Thanks, Echofeed, for the inspiration and the years of quiet, reliable service.

This is Vincent Ritter, who in addition to these thinly-veiled racist remarks also once posted "When a game asks for 'pronouns' and doesn’t let you skip that part. Uninstall. Sigh." And posted about how sad he was to see the heteronormative Apple emoji being replaced by inclusive, genderless versions.

He pays for a blue checkmark on X, cheers for Elon, and is a member of the Micro.blog team.

If you use Tinylytics or Scribbles, this is what you're supporting.

It's time to say farewell to the legendary netbsd-9 branch with one final release, NetBSD 9.5. The original 9.0 was released in February 2020.

In the meantime, that freshly released NetBSD 11.0 is looking pretty tempting. NetBSD 10.2 will also be released promptly.

I filed a #NLRB (National #Labor Relations Board) charge against #Apple on Aug 26 2021 when I was still an employee. Apple finally settled it with the NLRB last week. Now Apple needs to post this Notice where it promises the US gov & its employees that it will never again say some of the wild things it said to me.
