I’ve had this album on my radar already. But it needed their fantastic live gig at this year’s Rock Hard festival to remind me to give it another listen. And I missed out! Great melodies, all the instruments deserve being listened to, and above all is this great emotional voice.

It's been a hectic week both at work and in my personal life - haven't had time for much else....
Amenra does an acoustic guitar cover version of maybe my favourite Portishead song. So good! Love how the guitar is recorded and you hear all sorts of background sounds, as well as the player doing the percussion probably live while playing guitar.
Only thing I am bummed about going to #WCEU is the Switch 2 getting delivered later today and I won’t be there to set it up with my daughter. We’ll make good on that on Sunday (or Monday).

2. when I wanna programm a focus trap, like a modal creates one, it is suddenly not enough to do a querySelectorAll('iframe, input:not([type="hidden"]), select, textarea, button, a, [contenteditable], [tabindex]:not([tabindex="-1"])). I now have to select all elements and filter them for being scroll containers by issuing a costy getComputedStyle(). it would be better if there was a :scrollable pseudo class or similar.
@Chrome Q: starting with Chrome 132, you folks made scrollers focusable when they do not contain any focusable children. In practice that yields two problems for me:
1) to make certain areas not scroll through when a backdrop is visible, I create a pseudo element which cacthes scroll by makeing it scrollable and setting overscroll-behavior: contain. Problem now is that the parent element gets focus, even when it has focusable children itself (only the pseudo hasn't)

Well, good luck debugging something in production, when your logging statements put out to debug, but your Rails.logger.level is set to info. Thanks for nothing, past-Daniel.
Had a handful of new FeedCity signups in the last 24 hours. Need to fix some code for the OPML imports (and still need to fix some bugs related to this). But from what I can see, it worked for most people. And they seemed to have tolerated my still very basic onboarding.
Lots more feeds in the DB now. For now, the feed-fetching still seems to cope.
But I need to adjust the workflow for validating feeds: I use the W3C Feed Validation Service, but you only get a very limited amount of validation requests (per day, I believe). I ran way past this limit in the last 24 hours, and - rightfully - get a lot of 429 responses. Really need to behave better, or run the validation process myself.

My friend Daniel is running FeedCity, a feed reader I have been using for a couple of months now. (I’ll write a post about it sooner or later.)
When using FeedCity, you get all kinds of information about a feed, e.g., whether they are valid (many are not, strangely enough). Naturally I wanted all these icons to turn green/be active for my own feeds as well.
During IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf this year, I implemented sending WebSub notifications, to immediately notify potential subscribers, whenever my feeds update. Here's how I implemented this.
