Oh @anarodrigues. Yes.

Also it feels like everyone else is keeping up, but they're not.

I think we're all keeping up with different pockets of stuff while letting others slide, and when I consider everyone that isn't me - yes between them they've totally kept up with more stuff than me!

What is great about this web dev community though is the sharing. We can't read all the things, but as long as we all keep communicating, we'll be alright :)

Starting my journey to Düsseldorf for @btconf soon!

Thanks to the DB Navigator app I already see the train is a little delayed and apparently packed full of people. Hopefully I will be able to get to my reserved seat... 🙏

@cvennevik thank you! I added a little padding to the arrival time in case of delays so hoping for a relaxed one even if I get stuck for a while...

I imagine the reason German sandwich bread loaves have no crust ends (keine Endscheiben) is because the bakeries cut the slices from one neverending loaf where dough goes in one end and bread comes out the other.

Funny also that the population needs to be informed they are permitted to toast normal bread.

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@sinjut it's not normal bread for them though 😅 German normal bread mostly turns to rock then toasted!

At a work event they toasted brioche for tasty toppings, and I was like "ooh toast!" and they were all "nein, brioche!" because to them toast was this specific pathetic bread that's only for toasting.

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@sinjut lol yes. I was like it's been toasted! It's toast!

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@sinjut @PalmAndNeedle yeah the Toastbrot loaves do seem to be tiny! Then I guess they decided they wanted to upsell, make the same stuff bigger and call it sandwich bread

@GrimmReality notably semi-recently is the Black Mirror episode Be Right Back.

Bastard had me bawling - yeah it might be a comfort until something is just a little off and then the whole thing becomes super creepy.

Anyone know a tool for doing analytics on follows and followers? I'd like to prune truly dormant accounts (no posts or replies visible even on their own server, not just ones that have made it to mine if I don't follow them) and followers who never interact with my posts.

sarajw,
@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@freakazoid gah, there was a tool, which would take you through your follows and show you their latest posts and you could keep or unfollow - wish I could remember its name

What options are there to properly fight spam in a static website? Are there any?

Or if I get access to a database endpoint, maybe via an ORM rather than PHP - I can put my entries in there, but how can I run spam checks?

I currently use Netlify Forms, they run Akismet and it's awesome. But I'd like to make my email contact form and guestbook form independent from Netlify if I can.

Every site I'm finding in my search for spam filters and contact forms seems to be all about wordpress plugins 🫠
