 * PINBALL EXPO 2024
   
   2024.10.20
   
   Just got home from Expo. What a blast! Spent a lot of time in the tournament
   room volunteering and playing poorly. Super cool stuff this year for the 40th
   year of expo. As always, the homebrew pins are a delight. The standing
   hugging pin had some crazy shots. 1930s flipperless pins were also a huge…

 * JORTAGE ROCKS
   
   2024.10.07
   
   I wrote some notes on mastodon maintenance/upgrades and why I went with
   Jortage for tilde.zone’s media

 * WORDPRESS.COM SUCKS
   
   2024.09.26
   
   Moved some stuff around the other day to preserve my benharri.wordpress.com
   subdomain. I discovered that a redirect costs $13/year to be able to send
   your traffic to your own site. This all feels so hypocritical with Matt
   Mullenweg’s recent ranting about WP Engine disabling post revisions. Bro,
   come on…. wp.com is just as bad if…

 * HANDY QR CODES
   
   2024.09.20
   
   Put together a silly little php script to build an SVG QR code dynamically.
   This started a while ago as a quick way to get a printable QR code for each
   pinball machine that would shoot you to an issue report form with the name of
   the game prefilled. I previously generated a bunch of…

 * NATE THE SNAKE
   
   2024.09.11
   
   Worth the read if you have a spare moment. So, there’s a man crawling through
   the desert. He’d decided to try his SUV in a little bit of cross-country
   travel, had great fun zooming over the badlands and through the sand, got
   lost, hit a big rock, and then he couldn’t get it started again.…

 * THUNDERBIRD FONTS & COLORS
   
   2024.09.04
   
   Saving this as a post here for my future reference. The key to getting the
   “default” fonts to apply to plain-text (and all mails with the allow messages
   to use other fonts setting off) is also changing the fonts for Other Writing
   Systems. Why is it like this? Who knows! This answer brought to you…

 * MARGINALLY BETTER SHORTLINKS
   
   2024.08.28
   
   I’ve found myself tinkering with WordPress stuff a lot lately. Here’s another
   quick change I made for nicer shortlinks with a shorter domain that I have.
   This was inspired by trawling through jwz’ archives and hacks. This post in
   particular. The first piece of this puzzle is adding this location block to
   the nginx configs…

 * WORDPRESS INDIEWEB SETUP WITH A BLOCK THEME
   
   2024.08.26
   
   I’ve been tinkering around with IndieWeb integration on this site and wanted
   to document some notes getting all this running with a block theme. Theme I’m
   running a mildly customized version of Pulitzer. I’ve used the Create Block
   Theme plugin to export my changes and have published it as a standalone child
   theme here. Changes…

 * BLOCK THEMES ARE COOL, ACTUALLY
   
   2024.08.18
   
   WordPress block themes have grown on me. Spent a couple hours this weekend
   sprucing up tcpinball.org. Found this lovely block theme and it all came
   together quite nicely. Had a strange bug where the Navigation block stopped
   working on certain pages. Didn’t find the actual cause but it fixed itself
   when I disabled the Gutenberg…

 * DNSSEC WASN’T WORTH IT
   
   2024.08.15
   
   [… we] estimate that DNSSEC validation is performed around 1% of the time,
   given the DNS query profile of today’s data I run my own authoritative
   nameservers and have had a slight nagging feeling that I should’ve enabled
   DNSSEC years ago. It’s been on my perpetual to-do list but I’ve never gotten
   around to it.…
