It seems City of Edinburgh Council have realised paving over a drain isn't the smartest idea.
It has been fairly quiet this week, so far we have made 4 catering deliveries, including the two today pictured to Atria One and the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute. We also bought lunch, consisting of soup and main courses, to the Heart of Newhaven Community Centre, and cured meat to the Belfry.

Our First Anniversary Brings a Narrowed Focus for Weekly TPFs
Tightening up the ship After a year of publishing The Fulcrum, I (as publisher) now know the topics, tools, and techniques I want to focus The Programmer's Fulcrum coverage on. And maybe it will have the side benefit of shorter TPF posts. We'll see if I can tighten up my discipline as well. ;) That...

The Feed is the Product: Why We Stay in Walled "Gardens", and Why We Might Finally Leave for the Open Social Web
We have known this for years. We have known that the major platforms are bad for our attention, our sleep, our politics, our children, and our sense of reality. And yet here we are, still scrolling. This essay is an attempt to answer two questions: why is leaving so hard, and what does it look like when it finally becomes possible? Let's take the platforms one at a time, because each one has found its own distinctive way to be terrible. Meta is the empire that learned nothing. In 2018, we learne...

Habt ihr bei dem ATmosphere Wordpress Plugin auch das Phänomen, dass man sich regelmäßig neu connecten muss? Oder mache ich da etwas falsch? 🙈
Weeknotes no.2 – hello AT Proto & local LLM 🦋🦖
Added AT Proto publishing to my blog and played with local LLM models
Entering the Atmosphere
Not an exciting post, but theoretically, this blog post should cross-post to Bluesky and exist in some way in the AT Protocol atmosphere. Maybe that is exciting!

Das AT-Protokoll und ich

Announcing folk.zone: An attempt to build the IndieWeb commons myself.
Announcing folk.zone, a collection of free, community-run internet services I'm building as an IndieWeb commons. Including Mastodon, WriteFreely, Forgejo, Pixelfed, Lemmy, and more. All self-hosted on hardware in my living space. This is infrastructure for the common folk, not for enterprise or scale, inspired by omg.lol and rooted in the IndieWeb and Fediverse principles.
Muss man bei instagram sein?
Muss man bei instagram sein, um als Fotograf wirklich gesehen zu werden? Vielleicht, denn da spielt offenbar die Musik, wenn man seine Bekannten aus dem echten Leben "bespaßen" bzw. erreichen will. Auch scheinen sich viele Fotografen (auch die professionellen) damit abgefunden zu haben, dass man auf instagram präsent zu sein hat und nehmen zähneknirschend hin,...

Bye bye Bridgy Fed – Bridge zu Bluesky deaktivieren
Wie ich vor einigen Monaten beschrieben hatte, kann man föderierte Inhalte aus dem Fediverse über eine Bridge auch mit der ATmosphere teilen: Das ActivityPub Plugin – Eine Bridge zu Bluesky Nun gibt es das neue Plugin ATmosphere, welches nicht nur den Blog mit meiner Identität verknüpft, sondern auch, ähnlich wie bei dem ActivityPub Plugin, Reaktionen...

Consider this Ethical Publishing Stack and Workflow for your Site, Blog, or Newsletter
This article originally appeared on The Fulcrum. I published an article on Symfony Station (now sunset) years ago, titled Need a Writing Stack and Workflow for a Tech Newsletter or Blog?. It did not concern Symfony or PHP directly. However, it was still related. We wanted to be the best source for news on the...
