  Seen a bunch of people sharing that "RemoveMacAI" tool, so feel like I should point out it's largely built on top of someone else's tool that isn't getting anywhere near the same love: https://github.com/4evy/pared

  I’m not anti-passkey, but I got caught really off guard by a site automatically creating a passkey for me with zero user input. Imagine if I’d logged in on a shared device and now the device owner gets passwordless access to my eBay account!

  Whenever I write about old software, it still strikes me how absurd it is that it’s easier to run software from the 90s and 2000s on a modern computer than it is to run an iOS app from 15 years ago.

  Has anyone worked out what the “Automated protocol deliverability probe” spam wave is about? Do we know who’s doing it or what their goals are? #MastoAdmin

  Feels extremely weird that my wife had to mod our TV so it would stop exfiltrating all our data. At least it's possible...

  I keep finding myself wondering… now that it’s becoming clear that most people are going to be priced out of regular electronic device upgrades for years, and the ones that do exist are likely to be much more RAM-constrained then before, are apps/websites going to have to be much more well-optimized than they have been for the past decade or so?

  What do people think the good Linux laptops these days? I've got my eye on the MNT Reform Next, but curious about other options. Good battery life and screen would be nice. Would prefer something not from a US company.

  While debugging the Magic School Lunar translation, I ended up spending some time reverse engineering the save game format so I can speed my way through all the battles. Turns out it was a lot simpler than I thought! But I did run into some fun misdirections on the way, so wrote it up: https://www.mistys-internet.website/blog/blog/2026/08/01/decoding-magic-school-lunars-save-game-format/

  Truly absurd situation where the only copy I can locate for sale of a local west coast Canadian album I want is in… Germany, and won't ship to Canada.

  The stuff I've been working on recently is finally public! I've spent the past bit revamping the social media site support in Browsertrix. We can capture much more content from Facebook and Instagram now, and I've also fixed Youtube video capture. In addition, we've added a new "smart scoping" feature that ensures we crawl more pages from social media profiles even if they wouldn't otherwise be in scope. https://webrecorder.net/blog/2026-07-27-social-media-improve...

  New blog post! I came across a fully-interactive offline archive(!!) of a BBS from 1994 and wanted to share an interactive walkthrough of it. Let's explore 90s Kansai online and see what people were chatting about. https://cdrom.ca/games/2026/05/30/xd.html

  I always find myself wondering what people think the "p" means when they're quoting resolutions these days. The "p" part hasn't been relevant for 20 years, and most people just treat it as a standard part of describing resolutions, but... do people think about what it's short for? Probably not?
