In honor of Father’s Day, I’m going to engage in one of my favorite past-times: $#!+posting dad jokes. 😏

If you’re a dad (or you have a dad– I guess that’d be everyone here except my immaculate conception, clones, androids and the asexual reproduction homies) please add to the ensuing and possibly annoying thread. Consider yourself warned for irony, cringe and general rando post fun & mayhem.

–Also go wish your dad a Happy Father’s Day before you forget 😜

Let’s get it started:

Since I would love to have Telegram be a first party “citizen” of the Fediverse, the network of open social media network apps and sites that are connected with ActivityPub, I formally opened a suggestion for it to be added somehow if possible via the Telegram user suggestion portal.
I think it would be great if every Telegram user was able to tie into the #fediverse via making @username@t.me handles and using group chats/channels equate different conversation activities vis-a-vis Lemmy, Flipboard and Discourse.

Last Week Today! S2024E9

Was a busy (two) week(s) since the last one, so let’s catch up with happenings: 🎂 March 20th and 31st marks “Birthday Week” with the fam, as it’s BoyType and MonkeyGirl’s turns to celebrate getting one year older. And me and SuperWife’s time to be broke AF. …

Of course we picked the only day it’s raining down here to be camping at the JAX beaches. Well we’re gonna still make the most of the time off!

But our campsite is a flooded mess at the moment so I guess it’s a movie day inside the camper for now.

Messing around with Bluesky post embedding codes

Per this post, I’m testing some ways to embed Bluesky posts into my Wordpress powered site here. As I find other ways, I’ll add them here. Simple Blog Card using a shortcode and plugin: [simpleblogcard url="bsky.app/profile/k…"] Bluesky.lol snippet creation using …

Hello COVID my old friend, I hoped we'd never meet again

Here we go again with the bullshit. This time, my sense of smell is 90% gone. 😩 Paxlovid enroute and no real symptoms other than post-nasal drip from hell and sore back though, so hopefully this'll be over in a few days. 🤞🏾

Fifteen Years Of Wordpressing

Unfortunately my previous blogs are lost to the ether but they were all mostly powered by Wordpress. I might gather some of my backups and make some "backfill" posts and relive whatever moments I can find. Until then, let’s celebrate this milestone and thank the contributors and community …

Overnight crash

Dropping a note here to make sure my site is back up – Things got crash happy overnight with the database eating all the RAM for some reason. Bad garbage collection or a missed chronjob maybe. The joys of wordpress adminning. So as soon as I’m done with the day job (where I actually do …

In the spirit of POSSE, I just spent 3 hours trying to get some backfeeds from silos like Instagram and Facebook going… I made it work before, but I can’t remember what I did with my last website that made it work.



It's a real head scratcher. I guess I'll need to ensure crossposting is turned on here at StarrWulfe HQ then I won't have to deal with this foolishness again.

If anyone has some experience with Brid.gy and how to do this effectively, please give me a shout. 🙇🏾‍♀️

Microtransit: what happens when you add ride hailing to regular city transit bus service.

Gwinnett County's Ride Gwinnett transit service microtransit van opens its doors for boarding passengers.

In parts of Gwinnett, there’s no waiting for a bus at a predetermined stop or route and the fare is just a flat $3 to go within the zone.

(BTW @gwinnettgov, any ETA there?)

…and it works like 🧈.

Can’t wait until we get it in our part of the county

Farewell Richard Roundtree

Richard Roundtree, AKA "John Shaft". RIParadise, 1942 - 2023  

I really hope Chris doesn’t mind me borrowing literally 90% of his layout, formatting and general overall aesthetic from Boffo Socko when I’m ready to smooth out the edges of my site here.
They way it looks and how information is presented is just what you’d expect of a person who is rather efficient at capturing and categorizing information.

Suddenly a new ATL transit NIMBY group has appeared! 🫢

www.youtube.com/watch The whole reason the Beltline even exists is because it was meant to be a transit corridor. A multiuse trail was also part of the design, so both need to be constructed. But also, since the land developers jumped into the fray and built their car-oriented buildings off the …

job done

Well that does it for me tonight. I got a lot done on this here ol' site. I’ll continue to kick the tires and fill in the gaps but so far so good. Indieweb stuff seems to be working as seen at micro.blog and tested with some good friends. Will run thru the tests tomorrow to make sure. …

Testing again.

Hope the activitypub folks cans see this now….

We were on a different set of tracks leading nowhere and everywhere at once.
