I'm bummed to be missing @omfest.co. I bought a ticket but it snuck up on me and I couldn't get down to SF in time.

TIL about @spacefast.com, by @automattic.com.

Looks like another "publish first, sign up later" service, like Cloudflare Drop. I hate that it took AI agents to get us here, but I love that these exist now. This is going to be huge for @hypertexting.com.

I'm in the "it's time to start drafting some blog posts" phase of the next big @hypertexting.com release. Which means it's time to record some screen captures and edit some video.

@exe.dev launched Pools today:

A pool is a collection of VMs that share a set of resources. Before pools, a VM’s resources came directly from your plan. You could scale VMs independently, but you couldn’t define a production or staging stack with its own resources in its own region.

Pools also give you predictable pricing. We don’t want to send you a surprise invoice because one VM had a burst of traffic.

I love what these folks have been building. A cloud provider with predictable pricing? Yes please!

Remember MarsBot? M.G. Siegler (@spyglass.org) asked a question yesterday that got me thinking: "Where is the 'Where I've Been' Service?" He took a trip down the SoLoMo (social, local, mobile) memory lane with apps like Foursquare, Swarm, and Gowalla. His focus was on the lo...

Say it louder for the people in the back! 📢

Take a break. Click this link. Thank me later.

I love this story about middle school kids hanging out in the comments section of an @npr.org podcast episode. Why? Because they weren't allowed to use social media.

Life finds a way. 🦖

Today I'm thinking about the reasons why almost every website you visit wants your email address or phone number, but almost none will EVER ask for your social media accounts as contact info. 📇

I feel like that says something about how valuable social media is in terms of actual networking.

RE: @manton.org's comment on @sixcolors.com's review of the M6 Mac Mini:

Maybe there’s a missing product in Apple’s lineup: a Mac with the guts of the $699 MacBook Neo. Call it a Mac nano.

When the redesigned Mac Mini was announced I had hoped for it to be USB-C powered. But a Mac Nano (or Mac Neo) would be an even better fit for a USB-C powered Mac that could be used in all the ways you can use a Raspberry Pi. I bet they could beat the old Mac Mini pricing for a device like this, and ship it at $299-399.

TIL about OPFS, via a post on @duckdb.org about Persistent Databases in the Browser with DuckDB-Wasm and OPFS.

TIL about @podstandards.org, via @manton.org's post about video podcasting. Looks like a great resource, and extremely relevant to my interests! #RSS

Manton Reece (@manton.org) on fun ways we used to use email signatures: Remember in old emails and usenet posts how people would put quotes in their signatures? Kind of miss that. I wonder if there’s a modern IndieWeb replacement for that. I've been thinking about this as ...

I'm intrigued! The current state of the art for these apps is a hot mess, so this is a welcome change. I'm looking forward to trying this.

The Safari 27.0 release notes are live, it's a big one:

Our Safari release notes have never been as long as they are for this version. The number of features alone rose from 58 to 83 since the first beta in June.

Download open source emoji images in multiple formats, with 2D and 3D variants. 👌

I'm loving all activity around alternatives to GitHub for collaborative revision control. I've been curious about Cloudflare Artifacts, and now I'm gonna add @delta.dev to my list of these things to try.

Whoa. Two @hypertexting.com TestFlight releases in a row were approved in under 60 seconds. 🤯

Has there been any reporting on changes to the TestFlight review process? Is it automated now? Are any apps being reviewed before being approved for TestFlight distribution? 🤔

Whoa. I just submitted a new TestFlight build of @hypertexting.com, and it was approved in less than 60 seconds! 🤯

There's a new sheriff in town!! 🤠

Security and AI hacking concerns aside, I love this idea! Don't be a meat proxy.

My apologies if you just saw a bunch of posts from me show up in your feed reader. I migrated from https://calebhailey.com/atom.xml to https://calebhailey.com/feeds/main.xml a few weeks ago and didn't setup a redirect. 🙃

Just landed a "repost" button in @hypertexting.com. 🤯

I think this is going to have a significant impact on my link blogging cadence. 📈

I've been slowly replacing all of my cameras with HomeKit Secure Video cameras and generally much happier with them – including the sub-$40 Aqara G100 – than HomeKit compatible cameras like the Arlo Ultra 2, which were ~$100-150 each. Competition FTW!

I'm surprised by this Apple Intelligence in Home pricing though. If it was purely storage-based pricing, I would probably turn it on for all of my cameras and end up spending more in the long run. This per-camera pricing means I probably won't even try it.

I just noticed the trees in my front yard are starting to change colors. Bring on the hoodie weather!!! 🍂

Tempted to YOLO the MacOS 27 update just for the corner radii. 🙈

Just edited a page using the @hypertexting.com iOS app and it feels so good. 💅

Ternus could cement himself in internet meme history if he were ever to do a WWDC opening video skit where he deadpans “I’m John Burgundy”. 😂

Putting the finishing touches on the new @hypertexting.com TestFlight release this morning. I’m excited to ship this!
