Discord and Slack are yet another silo. By all means have chats, but bring some of the content out to your blog!

Top 3 reasons to transfer Stripe subscriptions from one account to another
After transferring tens of thousands of subscriptions in my side gig, StripeTransfer.com – which is a service that helps individuals and businesses transfer their Stripe subscriptions from one Stripe account to another – I’ve come across three main reasons this service is needed. While there have been other reasons I’ve been asked to migrate or […]

Tumblr turns on ad-free tier
Tumblr: As of today, you can set up ad-free browsing on your personal desktop computer, from anywhere in the world, and then enjoy the same effervescent Tumblr you know and love (yes, including mobile) without the interruption of ads. Scroll away. $4.99 a month If I was a daily Tumblr user, or if I powered […]

Printers are terrible.

This weekend I cooked a smoked barbecue dinner, painted, read, worked in the darkroom, shopped w/ Eliza, got in the hot tub, ice skated, etc. Guess what I didn’t do? Look at any social media. Over 60 days now. Feels good.

Audio: Starting and finishing
Recorded on February 18, 2022 Join me as I scan some photos and chat about starting things and finishing things. Are you dealing with the same thing? Write a comment! (Audio clip unfound. I’ll try to restore this file in the future.)

🔒 SSL is back on cdevroe.com – I put that off way too long.

Scripted a quick security cam process on the Ubuntu laptop for outdoor cameras I plan to setup. Takes a photo every few seconds from multiple cameras. Now to find some POE IP cameras.

Both Cypress and Red Oak are now available as Micro.blog plugins. I’m planning on updating both to work with WordPress 5.9’s new site editing feature in the near future.

I’m still experimenting with Ubuntu via a virtual machine. Unlike macOS, core OS updates are very quick to install. It is refreshing. I think I’m ready to install it on an old laptop and, maybe, use it for a week for fun.

Pocket Casts must have had a bad sync because all of my old subscriptions just popped back up. NO. GET OUT OF HERE POCKET CASTS!

What I saw somewhat recently #91: February 9, 2022
This week I feel like I’m at war with my photo library. I’m attempting to move files around, verify back ups, and generally do a clean up – and at every step I feel like the photo library is winning. I continue to wish this were easier. Onto the links! Until next time. Oh! Before […]

Tom MacWright on blogging
Tom MacWright: There just aren’t as many active blogs as there were in the past. I think this has amplified the benefits of blogging: you can make more of an impact and create more of an identity with a blog than you can with Twitter or any siloed social network. I was just having this […]

Block Protocol – A specification for web blocks
No, this doesn’t have anything to do with blockchain. Joel Spolsky writing about Block Protocol: As a result of the non-standardization of blocks, our end-users suffer. If someone is using my blog engine, they can only use those blocks that I had time to implement. Those blocks may be pretty basic or incomplete. Users might […]

Photos for Mac tip: To delete auto-generated date folders in the source list drag them all into each other until they are all in one folder then delete that folder.

All this hubbub around Spotify and podcasts reminded me to try out their app to see if they’ve improved since last year. They haven’t. It is still a terrible app to watch/listen to podcasts.

Never play Wordle before coffee.

I’m planning to write about how leaving social media has benefitted me, what I’ve done with that time, and further steps I’d like to take.

I’m looking forward to using the updated Apple Music app in macOS 12.2. I’ll likely update today.

I’ve decided not to buy the current crypto dip. I just don’t care about speculation anymore. I now own almost zero crypto, which I hope will help me to stay objective in my opinion of it.

Star Wars Visions was a lot of fun.

Feels good to be slowly adding some new RSS feeds to NetNewswire.

cdevroe.com weighs in at approximately 5.3GB. Or, almost 1GB greater than March of last year.

Moxie Marlinspike on Web3
Moxie Marlinspike*, ex-CEO of Signal, on Web3: I decided to explore some of what has been happening in that space more thoroughly to see what I may be missing. To explore Web3 he built a “distributed app” that tracked NFT derivatives and also minted an NFT that turned into a poop emoji once you added […]

Robin Sloan on Web3
I’ve been meaning to link to Robin Sloan’s “counterweight to the growing hype” of Web3 for many weeks and forgotten. I think it pairs nicely with my link to Molly White’s Web3 hype damper. Robin’s piece does more than simply attempt to squash the excitement of someone curious about Web3. It is a fair and […]

Web3 is going just great
Readers of my blog may already be familiar with my thoughts on crypto and NFTs. To reiterate, in short; I’m bullish on blockchain, so-so on Bitcoin, looking closely at Ethereum, and skeptical about the longterm benefits of NFTs (though I think they could be a useful technology). If I had to summarize my opinion on […]

I double checked my OneDrive photo library back up and realized it was missing about 10,000 files. So I’m redoing that entire backup from scratch.

Tomorrow marks three weeks off of social media. It has been fantastic. I plan on writing a post about the journey so far after a full month. If you have any questions, let me know.

I linked to photographer Luisa Dorr on January 6th, Kottke did on January 7th. Just sayin’.

What I saw somewhat recently #90: January 6, 2022
At a recent distillery tasting Wow, 90 of these. I hope at or before 100 I go back through them all and pull forward some of my favorites. I hope most of these links still exist! You may see less of these types of posts since I’ve left social media behind and I think I’ll […]

Cypress for Micro.blog has received a bug fix release (thanks Manton). If you’re using the theme you may want to make sure you’re using the latest version. More fixes coming for Cypress.

Made some postcards in the darkroom. Sent this one to a fellow film photographer and friend in Oregon.

Finished reading The Beatles: Unseen Archives. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great to see the timeline and old photographs.

2021 in review: blog and projects
I thought it would be fun to review what has happened this past year on my blog, what I had set out to do, and what I’ve accomplished. I’m hoping that by writing this post it will give me some clarity on what I may want to try to do in 2022. January In very […]

My 2021 blogging stats
Number of posts per month: Total: 420 See 2020. I posted more to my blog in 2021 than 2020. As I said in my review post, I need to sit down and give a hard think to what my goals for 2022 will be, but I do hope they include sharing more here on my […]

Please send wintertime hot tub energy usage tips. I feel like a crypto miner over here. 🥵

Pure – A minimal theme for Micro.blog
Chris Hannah: I’ve named it Pure, and that’s mainly because I wanted very minimal styling, and to have it be a pure version of a theme. For the benefit of it acting as a “starter” theme for people that want to maybe want to start tweaking a theme but don’t want to start from scratch. But also for […]

Back in the darkroom. Archiving negatives from the 40s from my grandparents and making prints and postcards.

I have an old MacBook that I’d like to repurpose. It is pretty old so I’m thinking a Linux server or file server. Any suggestions?

90-days ago or so I postulated that Meta would fire Instagram’s CEO. That hasn’t happened, yet. So I was wrong.

Last night, in the darkroom.

What I saw somewhat recently #89: December 17, 2021
Penelope says gm. Also, just some quick things that don’t have any specific links that you may want to search on Duck.com; Steph Curry’s 3-point record, the James Webb Telescope, the analysis of the tornadoes that hit the mid-west last weekend. Until next time.

For those wondering, I’m keeping a log of the services I’ve exploded so far. I’m thinking of pushing it a bit further than I intended (more on this in the near future).

A few quick 35mm film snaps from October’s trip to Virginia.

Just pushed an update to all Cypress for WordPress owners for social icon support for Flickr, GitHub, Mastodon, TikTok, and YouTube. For December, use dec21 at checkout for 50% off.
