Consolidating my scattered writing under one roof, without giving up digital ownership.

It would be unimaginable back then to have a single database driver that can work across multiple runtimes. 2026 is great.

สมัยก่อน จะต่อ database ที คือต้องไล่เช็คว่า runtime / version / os ที่ใช้ มี library ตัวไหนใช้ได้บ้าง

ตอนนี้สบายละ driver ตัวเดียวรับจบเกือบทุกอย่าง

In 2024, I bought an ASUS ROG Ally Z1, a handheld gaming PC. Since then, I've done a lot of customisations to it, both on the software and hardware sides, and I thought it'd be a good idea to document them here; maybe I'll help someone overcome some of the problems I faced,...

Strong words; Infantino’s role as president of FIFA is now untenable. UEFA and its 55 member associations stand as one. We unanimously and unequivocally reject FIFA’s proposal to transfer ownership interests in the World Cup and other FIFA competitions to private investo...

Second WP test post using different email/account

The desktop computer is a miracle of human ingenuity, from the microscopic precision of Intel's Core Duo processor to the vast possibilities of offline and online computing. On the tragic decline of desktop towers, the IndieWeb and open-source software as alternatives to corporate platforms, and why we should take the time to become system admins and webmasters.

This is the second post dated 29 July, which is the point of it. Posts here are markdown files named by date, and the date alone is enough when there is one post: content/2026-07-29.md → /blog/2026/07/29 content/2026-07-29-two-posts-in-one-day.md → /blog/...

Listened to this podcast interview with Andy Hertzfeld one of the lead devs on the Macintosh, he talks about his time at General Magic and Google too. His interviewers were surprised that he likes developing with AI tools. People think that developing is just coding, but tha...

Test post from my WordPress site (andysylvester.com) to my rss.chat instance (rsschat.andysylvester.com)

Graceful degradation is underrated

Our feed parser is updated to understand the new elements for RSSchat.

Chainsmoker cat, a long lost Super Mario variant, AI slop vs human art, and a toe biter

Creating a menu as a list in Jekyll from a collection is as easy as defining the item title and url as yaml in either the config.yml or in an object in the _data folder navigation_header: - url: "/about" title: "About" label: "Visit About page" In this example I...

Ricardo Mendes has been doing some interesting development inspired by rss.chat, his application is called Really Simple Conversations (see his instance and Github repo) – check it out!

I hate computers so much. Only 10 minutes into the day, and already dealt with two bullshit problems.

• Volume control was not working on MacBook Pro laptop. Restarting the machine fixed the problem.
• Airfoil couldn't connect to a Satellite. Restarting Airfoil fixed the problem.

If that was the first 10 minutes, I imagine by the 4th hour I'll have put all of these cursed machines directly into the trash.

I want one social network with lots of branches where ideas flow in ways people want them to flow. Take the big corporations out of the middle. They have not served us well because they aren't in the business of serving us. They can provide unique user interfaces for reading or writing. They should be as diverse as apps are everywhere else but the web.

4hero - two pages

Again I find myself agreeing with UEFA and not FIFA

The soul and governance of football are not assets to trade – especially with zero transparency as to who gains financially.  None of us are the owners of football. It is not FIFA’s to sell.

A post with no title is a perfectly good RSS item. The spec says all of an item's elements are optional, provided at least one of title or description is there — so this one goes out as a <description> and nothing else, which is exactly how the linkblog end of the feed world has always written.

Worth knowing if you have ever tried to link to a single one of these: we always publish <guid isPermaLink="true">, so this note has a real URL even without a title to hang it on.
