The Human-made sites webring

— “Webring”, you say?

— Yes. A webring.

Those things from the late 90’s/early 00’s where real people with real websites connected via a linking mechanism known as a webring.

Well, it’s not so much of a mechanism as a list of websites that link between each other in a chain.

So you could land on one which would say it’s a part of a given webring, along with a “next”, “previous” and sometimes “random” site.

So you could easily discover other websites that share common values.

Human made.

My idea came a few weeks ago to try and join together people who had real websites and blogs who were against using ai slop in their writing.

That’s to say, it’s not a case of judging people who use AI to accomplish certain tasks. But it is a conscious decision to collect together people who vouch to not churn out AI slop in their posts.

Keep it real.

Keep it human.

If you have a website/blog, and want to join a slowly-growing community of people online who prefer the web stayed human-centered, then come along to human-made.site and join us. 🙂

Back and forth

— Right, that’s it. I’m getting annoyed with the block editor. I’m switching to ClassicPress

Two months pass.

Slightly missing the fact that my posts appear in the fediverse via the excellent activitypub plugin for WordPress.

— Okay. I’m gonna switch back to WordPress.

Sees that the next version of WordPress is merging in a whole load of ai-related features.

*smh*

— Fuck this! I’m going back to ClassicPress for good. Nothing is worth mixing with the slop machines.

And now its back off. All the ai crap that WordPress is shovelling into core just puts me right off WordPress. Looks like I’ll be on ClassicPress for the foreseeable future.

My website is back on the fediverse.

I really want to start writing short stories on here. Much like an old friend Andy Hawthorne does.

Vim :: Search and replace across multiple files

From within Vim, you can search all files for a string/pattern with the following ex command.

Replace “string_to_find” with your search string. The path given as example is every file under the app directory recursively.

:vimgrep /string_to_find/ ./app/**/*

That command will put all occurances of the string into your quickfix list.

You can then run a command on each instance of that with the following command:

:cdo s/string_to_find/new_string/gc

This runs a substitution for each entry in the quickfix list.

The `g` flag is “global” which means if the occurance happens multiple times on the same line it will replace all. Otherwise it will only replace the first instance on each line.

The `c` flag is to “confirm” each change. Each change it tries to make, it will ask you to specifically answer yes or no to change it. I prefer this for most things.

You can then either manually write each file you have changed, or use the following command to save all the files that have been changed:

:cdo update

Born This Way by Lady Gaga

Not a huge Lady Gaga fan but this album has some bangers on it.

Probably one of the better albums of 2010s pop, based on my limited experience.

I Want To See The Bright Lights Tonight by Richard and Linda Thompson

I’ve been a fan of Richard and Linda Thompson for many years.

However, I have somehow never listened to this album — at least I can’t recall hearing it before.

“pour down like silver” and “hokey pokey” I have heard a few times though.

This album did not disappoint.

Really love their idiosyncratic sound.

Continuum by John Mayer

First time listening to John Mayer.

Nice album.

Quite relaxing whilst programming with songs that have nice messages.

Damaged by Black Flag

Loud, fast punk album.

Was okay. Not my complete cup of tea but I respect it for what it is.

I’m still finding inline styles in old posts from my time with WordPress and it’s guttenberg editor. I like the idea of the guttenberg editor, but gosh if it doesnt bloat the fuck out of your html.

I’m now on ClassicPress which is WordPress, if WordPress hadn’t gone down the swanny.

Jar of Flies by Alice In Chains

I’d heard that this was one of Alice in Chains’ best releases. However, for some reason it took a while for me to get into it.

I’m glad I persisted, as this has become a favourite album / e.p. of mine I’ve heard in a long time.

It just gets better with each listen for me.

A space ship flies ahead with its light blue trail behind it. It flies towards some small mountains and a distant planet ahead. The sky and the ground fog are a hazy light purple colour.
In deep space, a space fighter space ship flies away from a colossal-sized freighter. The freighter is burning, falling downwards and blowing apart.
A dark red sky waith a lighter red moon giving a fiery feel. Two birds fly between us and the moon, still very far away.
