We can have a different web
Many yearn for the “good old days” of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.
After 2½ years, I’ve released a small update to pg_search. Version 2.3.7 adds support for Active Record 7.2 and various other small changes.

DNA is an acid that is made up of bases. 🤔
Had a great time seeing the Flaming Lips last week.

Twitter Sucks is now live again, after migrating it from Heroku’s discontinued free plan to Fly.io.

Got some prescription sunglasses for the first time in my life. Gonna take some getting used to. 😎
Just watched a video about Jotai, a minimal state management library my team uses with React. Pretty amazing to see a very full-featured drawing app created with not very much code.
I just migrated my Mastodon account to nertzy@ruby.social. For now I think I’m going to try out keeping my micro.blog and Mastodon feeds separate, but we’ll see…
Is there a paid service that I can point a DNS record to, and it hosts a private Mastodon instance for me?
I’m feeling like that is closer to the future. My micro.blog account is partway there but not “full Mastodon”.
