The eighth episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out:
In Episode 8, I chat with Brennan, the author of brennan.day. We talk about, among other things, writing routines, building community in the indie web, "start here" pages on personal websites, and more.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
Wonders of Web Weaving also has an RSS feed you can use to follow along from wherever you get your podcasts.
Just wondering, has anyone managed to use Birdnet-Pi with the Pi in USB gadget mode? This would make it possible to change the details for the wifi connection when travelling, which is currently extremely difficult, if not impossible, without being able to access all the config options. Wanted advice before I try it. Would it work?

I guess we are having some kind of brownout here in #Rome. Electronics, like an oscillating fan and the laptop charger, are fluctuating on an off, presumably with voltage drops.
Just finished tomorrow's Eat This Newsletter: ube, menus, brambles, slop, not slop and not good either, and beef.

A bike tour, my birthday, playing two gigs with two bands, attending one other concert, Halde Hoheward with Florian, and the usual random frames in between. (43 photos)
Content warning: This poem is about the ongoing heat in Europe. I strike an optimistic tone toward the end, but if you would prefer not to read about the heat, I offer you one of the Scottish poems I have written in stead.
Nature’s weary tears fill the air;
invisible, warming.
Relentlessly, days proceed.
Hours pass; Celsius rises.
Midnights: warm like day.
We stay inside.
Blinds closed, water glasses full, cookers off.
Flowers bloom early.
Eyelids weigh; we yearn
for rest that does not come.
Heat ravages the continent.
London is Rome.
Roads reduce to liquid, power lines sag:
infrastructure is under stress.
Headlines depress.
Hope: We come together, reaching
with open eyes.
Her resiliency:
Our future?
I am off to Espelkamp, where mittwald run their Event Head in the Cloud. After sending in a Call for Papers, I found out that they’d wanted me to open this years summit with my talk “Weniger Slides. Mehr Austausch.” (translates to something like “Fewer Slides. More Exchange.)
Looking forward to it. See you there!
Reply via EmailNothing I like better than to be woken from a deep nap by the very loud clatter of hailstones on the terrace. A blessed relief.
There is a strand of thought out there that believes any and all legislation to do with seeds is evil and unnecesary. It is wrong. Here’s why.

Had a lot of fun yesterday at #loscon26, wearing the #CoderDojo hat. I had the chance to present @coderdojonbg and support the participants in taking their first steps into hardware programming — which was also slightly outside my comfort zone. The community was really cool and pleasant — thanks @simondueckert for the opportunity. Wishing all participants much more fun for the second day today!
