Today has involved DNS wrangling and wasps. It's a bit like death and taxes I guess, can always count on there being DNS problems and wasps to deal with.

I have to spend money on retail therapy to undo the emotional damage of learning that #Quake is thirty - three zero - years old. Learned so much about 3D modelling from the level editors. Time to blast that haunted house ambience of the #NIИ soundtrack

Photos of the Quake + NIИ merchandise: t-shirt, hoodie, ammo box, and key chain in a lovingly recreated 90s LAN party setting. Look at the depth of that CRT monitor - the thing weighs a ton. And the slightly yellowed off-white colour of the keyboards. Then the stack of CDs next to the machine. The aesthetic is perfect. For the alt text elite, what's your favourite LAN party memory?

Baseline is not a ceiling 🙈

If you only use Baseline Widely Available ✅ features in your project, you’re missing out!
So many features you can use with fallbacks or as progressive enhancements.

I've just release v6.0.0 of the web-vitals library.

It includes support for measuring Web Vitals per soft navigation (like those used in SPAs) for supporting browsers (Chrome 151+) to give more accurate performance metrics for those sites.

‘Say yes and never do it’

Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios
You have some wonderful stories of basically getting away with stuff at the studios. I’d learned one very simple trick: say yes. Simply say yes. Like Joseph E. Levine, on “The Producers,” said, “The curly-haired guy—he’s funny looking. Fire him.” He wanted me to fire Gene Wilder. And I said, “Yes, he’s gone. I’m firing him.” I never did. But he forgot. After the screening of “Blazing Saddles,” the head of Warner Bros. threw me into the manager’s office, gave me a legal pad and a pencil, and gave me maybe twenty notes. He would have changed “Blazing Saddles” from a daring, funny, crazy picture to a stultified, dull, dusty old Western. He said, “No farting.” I said, “It’s out.” That’s probably the most famous scene in the movie, the campfire scene. I know. He said, “You can’t punch a horse.” I said, “You’ll never see it again.” I kept saying, “You’re absolutely right. It’s out!” Then, when he left, I crumpled up all his notes, and I tossed it in the wastepaper basket. And John Calley, who was running [production at] Warner Bros. at the time, said, “Good filing.” That was the end of it. You say yes, and you never do it. That’s great advice for life. It is. Don’t fight them. Don’t waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They’ll never understand.

I only recently learned of the Klaus Kinski/Werner Herzog saga. It's a legendary level of professional acrimony I didn't know could exist.
Kinski's work with Werner Herzog brought him international recognition. They made five films together: Aguirre: The Wrath of God (1972), Woyzeck (1979), Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), Fitzcarraldo (1982) and Cobra Verde (1987). The working relationship between the two was contentious; Herzog had threatened, on occasion, to murder Kinski. In one incident, Kinski was said to have been saved by his dog, which attacked Herzog as he crept up to supposedly burn down the actor's house. Herzog has refused to comment on his numerous other plans to kill Kinski. However, he did pull a gun on Kinski, or at least threatened to do so, on the set of Aguirre, the Wrath of God, after the actor threatened to walk off the set. Late in the filming of Fitzcarraldo in Peru, the chief of the Machiguenga tribe offered to kill Kinski for Herzog, but the director declined.

When you're up against network effects, there comes a time when it isn't worth staying and trying to get others to move. It's better to leave. And focus on building, on new network effects.

I decided to opt into the Origin Trial for the newly proposed element, which is currently running in Chrome and Edge browsers, on my new local surf report web app
dollarslice.nyc

It's there in the footer (when my feature check reveals it). Would love to see this element supported on iOS!

I loved this one - they're poking round a Borg cube and find the kitchen where the result of their massive cultural assimilation is some really amazing fusion cuisine. I think the B plot if that Lwaxana Troi is planning a wedding with Locutus.
