i want to publish my blog posts on a hidden web-based blog (write.as or something) that outputs RSS, and would like my jekyll blog SSG to render my static site from that RSS feed instead of the markdown in _posts. Does anyone know some existing tools to do this or must I write them?

thinking of writing a small/quick youtube-dl web frontend, sort of like put.io

people complain when i (objectively, accurately) use the term spyware to describe software that bundles opt-out analytics. it transmits your activity off your device, without your consent, often silently. everyone gets butthurt and says "that's not spyware, that's analytics" but not one person has offered any explanation on how that's *not* exactly the same thing that spyware is and does.

this is so fucked up. reporter out alone operating camera and doing a segment, gets hit by a car.

are we angry at the car operator who hit a well lit human being? no, we're angry at the newsrooms who send reporters out alone for some reason?

how is this not victim blaming? it happened because she was alone? fuck no, it happened because americans don't pay attention to the road.

wow the documentation for fabric (python ssh admin tool) is terrible

it bothers me disproportionately when people tell lies about me. i'm fine if you share negative opinions about me or whatever, that's your business, but it really grinds my gears when people spread factually incorrect statements about me

keep getting rate-limited by my own masto because docker's userspace l3 proxy obscures source IP in http requests because docker is dumb and mastodon has no knob(!) for disabling rate limiting.
