Been thinking about CO2 and air quality far too much the last few days. I had seen some data about airflow / CO2 being related to spread of contagious diseases before but I keep wishing there was more focus on it various places.

This Hacker Conference Installed a Literal Antivirus Monitoring System
At New Zealand's Kawaiicon cybersecurity convention, organizers hacked together a way for attendees to track CO2 levels throughout the venue—even before they arrived.

Too many thoughts about this … did you know that SEMrush has social media planning tools too? The company has been around … decades?

Should I ...
a) just update this list with some others I've checked out now or
b) write a new post with additions? or
c) just do another one in a month with this list AND anything else I've come across...

Leaning towards C

Checking records - again apparently I’m testing things in my main account today for some reason

Notifications of comments is still one of those fail points I feel like keeps happening with blogging comments.

I also don't like how I've integrated bluesky into my own website for blog commenting because people replying don't know they could have their comment approved to show on my site.

@youronly.one I am not sure if leaflet notifies people (yet) when someone responds to their comments off of a post so just in case (I saw and responded here):
leaflet.hilarybaumann.com/3m635zuwm6s2...
ATProto Apps with their own records as of 2025-11-20 - grouped by some general types - Hilary's Leaflet
This is not a comprehensive list but it is pretty thorough. There are at least 10 more I need to dig into and probably add here later today maybe. This does NOT include PDSs, Appviews, and clients. ...

What was I doing again?

I think it’s go get coffee to reset my brain time.

Faaa Cloudflare Turnstile is the piece I didn't think about. (I had been using reCaptcha.) Though that's still easier to fix than DNS. I just don't know that I have a fallback to Turnstile (since I won't give reCaptcha a credit card it can infinite spend on.)
November 18, 2025 at 2:44 PM
Not having all your eggs in one basket gives you more ways to fix some things if you need to.
This is kinda an argument for Cloudflare not being your registrar so you could change hosts which would allow you to forcibly change the authoritative DNS if you wanted to. Same for any CDN really.

That's the main thing I see in this (though how long do you wait before you do that amount of work.)

@stream.place love that I can listen to an audio only situation with my phone in my pocket and also the pip (or whatever it’s called on iPhone) so I can use more than one app and still see what’s going on with Streamplace.

I’m annoyed that I have drafts of several things that would seriously help a number of people IF I could work out a few details AND make sure updates are near realtime (which isn’t quite possible with either feedbuilder I tinker with.)

I need to deep focus on work in more ways than one.

Poking at the new Affinity app and for a few seconds I was impressed ... and then I wasn't. Proprietary .af file. Ok fine, I'll export my vector scribble test.

But then I exported as an EPS file. It flattens the layers. Why? I've been "saving as" EPS files w/ layers from Illustrator since 1999.

Per labeler setting for !warn & !hide.

I know that the few labelers doing this are doing so to protect a community so I understand the decision but I do want the granularity of control for myself.

Hoping more clients/apps end up doing this (I don't have an android I can test with.) #atproto
There are two labels !hide and !warn that a moderator can use to hide or warn for serious bad content. The warming levels are fixed in the client (if implemented, Skywalker does).
It turns out any labeler can apply these labels!
In the next release you can change the levels for these labels

Does anyone have a suggestion for an android phone I won't hate that's also cheap that I can use for testing?

It wouldn't be my main phone.

Or maybe better - what android has a good camera? esim?

(Restricted to people I follow only because I want thoughts from people I know.)
November 15, 2025 at 2:55 PM
I’m over here turning off all labelers and various warn settings trying to figure out why a particular response was hidden …

Argh … is there a per post tool that will show me what might be applied? I know how to look up an account…

Is it just me or is it offputting to other people when a project intended to make money doesn't have a website? Dev doesn't even seem to have a website...

Like hobby project is fine or testflight beta but when I see you already have subscription plans in your app? Something about it is throwing me

Meh but seems accurate.
