I saw this in person at the Hell, Ink & Water show. It was my favorite.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

I think the underrated part is where the risk moves. With static output, a vulnerable dependency lives in the build rather than on a running server, so patching becomes a rebuild and a deploy instead of a scramble to find out what was exposed.

BuildAwesome (@11ty.dev) is a great way to run a static website which doesn't need PHP at all. ZeroPoint (getzeropoint.com) is a great way to use BuildAwesome efficiently to build a marketing style website.

The category is: songs whose first two sung notes are exactly an octave apart. Examples are: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," "The Christmas Song" ("Chestnuts roasting on an open fire..."). Other examples, please?

I know folks get real mad when I say this but in times of widespread security crisis, static sites sure are nice

EFF's Privacy Badger Anti-Tracking Extension Expands to Safari

macrumors.comEFF's Privacy Badger Anti-Tracking Extension Expands to SafariThe Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) today announced the launch of Privacy Badger for Safari on macOS. The free browser extension allows Safari users to block ad trackers to prevent companies from spying on your web browsing and tracking you across the web. Privacy Badger has been available on other platforms like Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, but it is new to Safari. It requires Safari 26.5 or later. The EFF says Privacy Browser can automatically learn to block hidden trackers on the web. It uses algorithmic methods to determine what is and isn't tracking, and it doesn't block ads unless those ads are also trackers. Safari already limits the amount of information that trackers can access, but it lets trackers load. Privacy Badger blocks the trackers from loading and techniques that bypass Safari's protections don't work. The extension is also able to block cookies and remove link click tracking from outgoing links on Facebook and Google.

It's a key part of conservative ideology: "I have no obligations to you and I can treat you however I like, but you are required to love me."

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Also cool is that I built this mostly (except the microphone) with old tech I already had. An important consideration given the terrible everything.

I've been taking some of my frustration with the death of my industry out on home-automation and #selfhosted projects. Yesterday I built one of these (this isn't my article, it just gave me the idea) and it's the most immediately gratifying build I've ever done. jasontucker.blog/how-i-turned...
