Is it just me, or should a site that opens in dark mode show the "sun", "day", whatever icon, that represents light mode, instead of showing the "moon", "night", etc. icon that represents dark mode?

I find it a little irritating that clicking a "moon" or a "night" icon takes me to *light* mode...

i've been doing web programming for over 30 years and this is a wild one.

big thanks to @kickingk for doing all of the research to figure out this problem. i absolutely would have not figured it out myself.

kiki had a problem where it was generating correct rss feeds for everyone in north america, and everyone outside of north america had non-compliant rss feeds. the exact same code on every machine, but *only* the machines in geographical europe barfed out broken rss output. rss feeds were 100% valid in north america, and borked elsewhere. what the hell?

the rss errors in europe:
pubDate must be an RFC-822 date-time: Sun, 10 Aug 2025 08:00:00 BST

that looks like a perfectly cromulent rss pubdate to me. it satisfies every single date formatting requirement that i could find, and uses PHP's own datetime() function to generate it.

as it turns out, the rss 2.0 spec relies upon an RFC specification from the 1977 ARPANET: "RFC822: Standard for ARPA Internet Text Messages"

yes. i just had to write a patch for a 50 year old RFC ..... "feature".

if you're a kiki instance sysop, you can update your instance by downloading v1.1.7. and if you're wondering what kiki is - you can find out here:

danny van kooten does a great job of explaining what the underlying problem with RSS/RFC822 is here:

NaaS – No-as-a-Service

No-as-a-Service (NaaS) is a simple API that returns a random rejection reason. Use it when you need a realistic excuse, a fun “no,” or want to simulate being turned down in style.

On the critical importance of private work, and making things for just you (and your friends)

i have private work on my mind, lately. on sunday night my best friend laura displayed a show of eight paintings for an audience of two: myself and our other best friend, tess. she had, in fact, made them just for us. we were invited to the show four weeks ago, when she came up with the idea; as she worked she would occasionally tell us how “our” paintings were coming along. she wanted to make art with a deadline but none of the other pressures of an exhibition, and worked nearly everyday that followed to produce a run of eight dreamy, hazy, surreal and special paintings. by all accounts this was a rewarding and exciting process for her, and we had the pleasure of a kind of advent period, waiting excitedly to see the finished work. in the end the experience of the show was one of the most intimate of my life, and tess and i found ourselves profoundly moved, doing the classic girl thing of both crying immediately, then crying harder when we realized the other person was also crying. did i write a poem about it later? none of your business! i don’t know if laura will exhibit this work publicly. it is completely gallery-ready, but that is not, really, the point. she has already achieved her goal: creating a cohesive and personal body of work after months of individual commissions, working to fulfill the briefs and desires of others. i realized, while hacking away at my notebook, that my “poetry practice” marks the first time

What a strange time. I just read this sentence in an article about an HTTP client:

"Lightweight : Just 157~ KB in size"

Sorry but 157 KB is NOT lightweight. Especially for an alternative to "fetch".
