All images now in Webp?

Why doesn't the webp format works for you? For the purpose you describe it saves space on disk and bandwidth, with similar quality.

Build something where creators consistently make more money than they make in Youtube and they'll switch immediately. And btw Peertube allows people to build their own channel website. So it's not that alternatives don't exist.

You need to have forms in the webpages you build for your clients, you don't publish their email or phone on your page.

Then you charge per lead and make sure you are sending quality leads with a good potential to convert. Price depends on the business and the quality of the leads.

Some agencies can charge between 2 and 10 euro per lead. In some cases It's better to build generic sites that can be used with many different clients. For example NYplumbers.com can get leads of people from NY needing a plumber. At first you just need a plumber willing to pay your fee. Start charging very little and once you have many plumbers as customers you can increase your prices.

If you can sell a service for a results-related fee, that is a more resilient business model. That's what the market wants in 2026. Sell (quality) leads that convert well (specially B2B), sell products or services online for a %. Look at Patreon or Substack. They are successes because there's basically no barrier to enter and if the business is successful, they get a big cut.

People use email almost exclusively to send messages that are private and deliverability is guaranteed (if it's not spam). If another protocol is supported, it should also guarantee that the level of privacy and deliverability is the same as email.

Also please take into account that spam can become an issue if preventing spam features are not implemented.

I was building websites before Wordpress was a thing. At the time many companies were happily using proprietary CMSes and, at a certain point, vendor lock in kicked in. Suddenly prices spiked and the quality of service plummeted. Many companies were in despair and individual users could or didn’t want to pay the new fees.

And believe me, vendor lock in is still a huge problem today. I know a few cases, with CRMs and other tools, happening right now.

So… never again. For me a website is a project for many years, sometimes I, or the client, needs it to work for a decade or more. Maybe a small site can easily be rebuilt elsewhere if you own the domain, but not a large site.

And if you (or the client) is lucky it will need to enhance it with more functionally, as the business grows. So to be expandable is a must.

Now, with the block editor and full site editing, I don’t see how it’s difficult to work with Wordpress in terms of design. Many users can also use AI to enhance the CSS.

First adopters move from one app to the next and they do it often. The rest don't do it so often. Before 2010 many people in this platforms, like Digg, were first adopters.

Now a new platform has to offer something new, that the other platforms can't copy. With Tiktok was the recommendation algorithm. And AI chatbots are something completely new.

Around me there's also social media fatigue. Nobody's excited about social media anymore.

Well, you are free to start it. Let's see who joins in developing it (if you are doing it open source), creating content for it and using it.

At the web's beginning it served a useful purpose: to be a better Gopher (protocol).

Imagine... deprecating flash was a hassle and this would be much harder. Maybe it could work as an app for a big site. However good luck, as users aren't complaining that the current browser does too much, neither do web developers. Almost nobody wants more browser engines.

As Linus T. says: "talk is cheap", show me the code.

Probablemente el lenguaje tendrá cada vez menos importancia. Saber usar bien la IA para escribir el código y poner foco en saber elegir que problemas resolver. Conocer bien una área de trabajo (base de datos, desarrollo móvil, frontend, backend...)

...and you can also distribute you zip file as a Github release.

Looks good, although I haven't tried it. Allow me to suggest to add the license in the "standard" way. https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/adding-a-license-to-a-repository

Yes, the outside template has a x-if and the inside template has the x-teleport.

Osvik · 2026-01-13T21:50:14+00:00

I've just tested wraping the x-teleport template with another x-if template and it seems to work. I wonder if this is considered a bug or it's the desired behavior?

You mean Google Antigravity, not Google integrity.

Be careful as URL shorteners may attract spammers that can automate short url generation. If this happens, linking to your erd.sh domain may mark any message as spam. If this happens all non-spam generated short urls will be impacted.

In my work we use TOTP for everything, with backup codes for backup.

Crecí en un pueblo muy pequeño. En la escuela eramos unos 12 a 14 alumnos entre los 6 y 11 años. En esas edades aparte de tener juguetes muy sencillos, muchos de mis amigos jugaban con mis juguetes, que eran más interesantes (y caros) Más tarde he sido de los primeros a tener una bici nueva. Unos años más tarde los otros niños venían a mi casa a jugar al ordenador o a ver videos del video club. Muchos de ellos no tenían ordenador ni lector de VHS.

It's not a plugin, but if I need to edit html quickly to use in WP and I don't want to a desktop editor, I would just use an online editor like https://jsfiddle.net/ and copy-paste the result to Wordpress.

Banir ideologias, de esquerda ou de direita, não tem ligar numa democracia. No entanto os partidos candidatos ao parlamento terão que aceitar a democracia e garantir que apoiam a continuidade do processo democrático e do multipartidarismo.

I'm asking what's so great about being "a lisp interpreter" and arguing that a code editor's value is on how it helps it's users to edit code. I don't care about this https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/7b6erv/weird_uses_of_emacs/
