According to my @bookwyrm account, I’ve finished 77(!) books since January.

Reducing the number of podcasts I listen to in favor of audiobooks is really paying off! ♥️

@reay I have a Libro.fm subscription, a local library card here in Bakersfield, and I used my parents’ address in LA County to get a virtual card there as well. 🤫

Say… Are you a macOS user? Do you have a stack of epub files collecting (virtual) dust because you're more of an audiobook “reader”?

I made a thing that might be able to help out with that. IDK. It works for me. Maybe it'll work for you too… 😅

I've already got enough going on, but I'm seriously tempted to spin up a new fedi instance (primarily for the area) in order to play around with .

My experiment with may've hit a stall. 😞

Running the latest stable branch, I cannot get outgoing email working. I have tried multiple transactional email providers and continue to get nothing but errors.

It also doesn't help that the project’s documentation is, honestly, lacking. 😬

I think that maybe I need to put this down, walk away for a little bit, and pick things back up after the Calckey project does its big rename and 1.0 release in a couple weeks.

Alternately, I could try using or instead. 🤔

In case y’all don’t like reading alt text, that’s a 2017 MacBook Pro running , an open source, inspired operating system.

The audio’s being kind of weird, but it’s still super fun to play around with.

I honestly couldn’t tell you the last time I installed a whole ass operating system for shits and giggles.

@seldo Oh yeah. It's horrible. Blocked them a few days after I spun up my instance.

TIL about WriterSolo, a screenwriting web app that, among other things, can import PDF scripts into its editor and output projects as Final Draft, Fountain, Plain Text, HTML, etc. files.

Why do I get the sinking feeling that apps will be able to opt out of tvOS 17 VPN connections?

I just want to use the Tailscale exit node I have running on my server in PDX to bypass LA’s MLB and NBA blackout restrictions. But there’s no way it’ll be that easy, right?

It's been a hectic week — so "coming soon" slipped a touch — but PLU Redux is now in the Plugin Directory.

Hey there, pals! Got a couple plugin updates for y'all after doing a little work on them over the long weekend.

Biscotti now includes WP-CLI support!
https://wordpress.org/plugins/biscotti/

PLU Redux is sporting a brand new Site Health check that lists off outdated plugins. It also uses the site's preferred date format when displaying the “Last Updated" date on the Installed Plugins page.
https://github.com/boogah/plu-redux

boogah,
@boogah@simian.rodeo avatar

P.S. I’ve added enough new functionality to PLU Redux¹ that I feel confident enough to submit it to the Plugin Directory. Wish me luck!

And, given the size of the review queue, wish me patience too. 😄

¹ PLU Redux is a fork of the long abandoned Plugin Last Updated.

Howdy, pals! 6.2.1 just dropped and it addresses (among other things) several security issues.

https://wordpress.org/news/2023/05/wordpress-6-2-1-maintenance-security-release/

Even if you're not on the 6.2.x branch, some security patches have been backported all the way to WP 4.1.x!

So, no matter what version of WP you're using, you should go update your site ASAP.

Joel Robinson (MST3K) slapping a button and yelling “We’ve got upgrade sign!” (a play on “We’ve got movie sign!” from the show) before the doors behind him open up and count down from 6.

On the off chance that you are running on an older version of , consider mashing that upgrade button to bring yourself onto the latest branch today.

As someone who maintains at least a hundred some odd WP 6.2.x sites, I can assure you that the water is fine.

Running my MacBook pro off one of my DeWalt power tool batteries. There are USB-C adapters for most major tool battery brands out there, many of which (like this one) will both power devices and charge the tool battery from a standard USB-C power plug. YMMV in terms of quality/safety (this is the official dewalt adapter which works great).

Great for power redundancy, etc. A no brainer if you already have the batteries for tools.

boogah,
@boogah@simian.rodeo avatar

@ethanschoonover I've been enamored with power tool batteries ever since I rigged my hand vacuum to use DeWalt packs last year.

Looks like I'm adding this USB-C adapter to my wishlist!
