How have I not known before now that (the first 3 books of) The Sandman has been adapted into a "radio play" for Audible? And with Gaiman himself narrating no less.

I had heard about this but I thought is was for the whole Sandman series so I have purposefully avoided it since I haven’t read the whole series yet. Thanks Colin for letting me know that it’s just the first three books. I’ll need to look into this now.

@MrHenko har funderat på Linode många gånger men eftersom släkten har sin email på mina domäner så blir det för dyrt att ha två tjänster

@jemostrom Det kan jag tänka mig att det blir. För min del så var det ett antal webbsajter och sen bara min egen e-postadress så jag kunde skaffa en enda VPS hos Linode för alla sajterna och sen FastMail för min e-post och fortfarande komma billigare undan än med Binero.

@jemostrom Haha, jag tror många gjorde samma fly-från-Loopia-resa som du. :)

Hugo verkar populärt bland micro.blog-folket.

När jag flydde Binero så gick jag över till en VPS hos Linode. Hade funderat på en VPS-lösning länge och blev tillslut tillräckligt trött på småkrångel med Binero. Å ena sidan är server-admin det inom datta som jag absolut inte vill pyssla med. Å andra sidan så är det såpass lite som krävs av mig för en LAMP-server med WP så det är värt det i slutänden.

Replied to An Instagram bug showed a ‘camera on’ indicator for iOS 14 devices even when users weren’t taking photos by Kim Lyons (The Verge)

An Instagram spokesperson said the company is fixing the bug. The app’s Create Mode is accessible from the Instagram camera which could set off the camera indicator, and a user swiping into the camera from their Feed may also trip it up.

This is bad Instagram. Really bad.

Replied to Thoughts on Netflix by Steve P Brady (micro.stevepbrady.me)

I think 3 seasons is probably the sweet spot as far as story telling goes. I’d much prefer 10 exciting and original 3 season shows to 5 bloated shows that just keep chruning out episodes derivative of their own past. Am I wrong?

I agree with this. I think this golden age of television that we are in is only helped by killing shows before they lose what makes them special. Netflix’ own Stranger Things is a great example of this. The first season was amazing, the second one really good, while the third one really feels like it’s time to wrap things up.

Another example of a show that ran way too long is Orange is the New Black. Amazing for a couple of seasons and then it just fell apart. IMHO, off course.

@MrHenko korrekt, det är gamla binero.
Jag gillar idén bakom WP och jag har väl nån sorts hatkärlek till programmet. Det som jag tycker är dåligt är känns inte "elegant" är rätt långsamt buggfixarna verkar inte ta slut har tappat data många gånger det som man skickar in i WP är väldi…

@jemostrom Aj då, Binero flydde jag hals över huvud ifrån för några år sedan. :)

Jag har vad jag vet aldrig tappat data från WP men i övrigt kan jag inte annat än hålla med dig. Jag tänker ofta att nu, nu, ska jag lämna WordPress och gå över till ett egenskrivet system som är perfekt för just mig. Hittills har jag backat ur varje gång. Min WP-sajt är inte perfekt men den funkar och den tillåter mig att publicera det jag vill, ungefär som jag vill.

Replied to PESOS from Instagram? by Jeremy CherfasJeremy Cherfas (stream.jeremycherfas.net)

At last night's online HWC we talked a bit about getting pictures in and out of Instagram, now that they have become so much stricter about the API. Getting images into Instagram except through approved apps seems to be getting harder and harder, and is probably impossible by now. Getting images out…

I haven’t used Instagram for a long time but for the last couple of weeks I’ve been trying to convince my fiancé to at least PESOS her Instagram posts to her old, inactive blog. This looks like a way that might be done. Thanks, Jeremy!

@MrHenko The one I use is at github.com/matzko/wp… I notice that is has not been tested with the latest version, but it is still working for me.

@jeremycherfas Thanks, that looks very promising. ?

@MrHenko Ah. I doubled checked and it's an automatic weekly backup. It only costs a dollar / month + storage costs. To setup there's just a checkbox to enable backups and it's set it and forget it.
They've also got a a guide how to automate it more frequently up at How To Use DigitalOcean Snapshots …

@jamesvandyne Interesting, thank you!
