I swear this is the last time I buy the wrong thing from amazon (I've really managed to get my amazon'ing right down in recent years).

But fuck me, I searched for "18500 battery holder" and I didn't realise that it just slipped in results for 18650 battery holder. Totally. Different. Size.

This should break your heart, make you want to smash things and shout at our utterly disgusting leaders who allow this to happen.

Really short list of things that I learnt/realised recently that let me delete bytes (web stuff): https://remysharp.com/2026/01/13/bytes-i-can-delete-after-all-this-time

Weekend full of Neil Diamond songs, and to my shock, this was me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VozEhEK7t0Q - genuinely 🤦

How to get all the RSS feeds from @belldotbz query (on bluesky).

I've put the actual code in the alt text. There's one part of me that says that's accessible, whilst my gut says a screenreader announcing all this code is fairly useless (but then it can be copied?).

The little (hacked) handheld always surprises me. It holds its charge especially well - I've not charged it in 6 months and still boots (which I don't tend to expect from modern hardware).

Just an aging JavaScript developer attempting to learn things (I'm learning, whether I'm succeeding is entirely a flip of a coin, that's super glued to the floor)

Very much enjoyed Song Sung Blue. Properly pulls at the heart strings too.

TIL that:

<? this ?>
<! this !>
</ and this >

…all parse as HTML comments.

It hits a part of the parser the spec where the content is "reconsumed in the bogus comment state".

Who do I know that's going to
@btconf Dusseldorf?

Only because I'm shy AF (yes…) and I prefer to be a Klingon if possible.
