Watching the Classic Doctor Who channel on Pluto TV, currently playing "Terror of the Zygons" wherein I forgot it's about tentacle aliens who deploy a cyborg Loch Ness monster to wreak havoc on Tom Baker

"You can't explode depth charges in Loch Ness, Bridagier!"

Spent some time hacking on my feedspool this weekend. Found a bug that I realized was making me miss a whole lot of feed items

Fixed that, which made it start rendering a whole lot more items. So, then I fell down a rabbit hole of making the web UI aggressively lazily loaded.

Now, I've got a statically generated news stream that incrementally loads as I scroll down the page of feeds, only loading as much as I want to see, just before I want to see it

D'oh, linked to my personal feedspool rather than the project page, which brought down the Mastodon orbital link-unfurler laser to my homelab. But that's okay, because it's a static site with a 5kb index.html :blobSmileSweating:

I should probably rig this thing up to publish to GitHub Pages so I can leech off their static hosting bandwidth for my news stream instead :thinkspin:

One thing that kinda sucks about this static site generator, though, is that it produces a lot of file churn that does terrible things in a git repository. So, that eventually throws a wrench into GitHub Pages
