This is a streamlined version of Justin Jackson’s original page about HLS video and podcasts. This is all you need to know to create video podcasts that use open standards.

That’s it. Now compatible podcast players can switch between audio and video. I’ve also written a longer post specifically about Micro.blog.
When Claude has a clear task to do, it does it well, and exhaustively in a way no human could manage.
I'm now trying to come up with projects I can try that change things in visible ways so I can see which parts don't work. For example, I have a new Snarky Slogan to add to the list.
More street sessions in Cáceres.
Made a nice salad for lunch in Cáceres. 🥗
I don’t think my little $14/month server for OpenClaw is cutting it anymore. But Hetzner seems to have doubled their prices, so not sure about upgrading in place. Maybe everyone ordering Mac minis had the right idea. Even with new Apple prices, a Mac mini is a better deal over 1-2 years.
Had my first “uh oh” moment using OpenClaw. It accidentally had access to my GitHub account, instead of its own more sandboxed GitHub account. Not sure how this happened. Hopefully human error.
I am working on the new system now. It feels like I had a nice enough house that I have lived in for decades, sitting across the way, where I've been constructing a new super luxury house with all the things a modern personal publisher and code-partner to Claude would want. But until yesterday I could only simulate what it would be like to use it, I was still living in the old comfortable well-worn and out of date in so many ways. Today I'm sitting at the other chair typing this. Now the question is -- when I click the Publish button what will happen? Here we go. Well fuck me, it worked the first fucking time. Knicks in five! :-)
Re-reading Anil Dash’s endgame for the open web blog post and giving it some more thought. The two biggest areas that need our attention: keeping podcasting open and curating the web to highlight human-created content. There are other challenges too, but that’s where I’d start.
Would’ve been my mom’s birthday today. Last year, we celebrated in the hospital. Picked up Tiny Pies. A special moment, even if small. Pushing through today, working, because that’s sometimes all I know how to do.
Over the last week or so, I’ve gotten way too worked up over things I can’t control. That’s usually when I make mistakes, even if it’s something in private. Gotta keep focused on the big picture.
Last night’s fun.

I want to develop a scripting interface for Mastodon from Frontier. I need a test account for us to use. I have applied at two public Mastodon hosts and answered the question honestly, I want to use it to test a new scripting system, probably doesn't sound too warm and fuzzy.
One of my concerns with tabs going on the right is discoverability. Turns out you can tap and hold on icons to show the label for each tab. Here’s a quick video of how this looks in Epilogue, which is the first app I’m experimenting with for the Duo.
Doing some initial testing with the Duo simulator. It is strange. There are potentially a lot of layout choices to make. I think bare minimum now, then more changes later when I actually use the real hardware.
