Welcome to Senders' homepage
This is my personal site for my projects and other random stuff I feel
like uploading. A lot of it comes in the form of micro-blogs and stream
of consciousness ramblings.
You can subscribe to my extremely infrequent blog via RSS: /blog/feed.rss

RSS - A Follow-up
Get an RSS reader and connect everything to it!
Between switching to Mastodon for my social media allowance, and using
a dedicated RSS reader has really cut down my overall consumption and
wasted PC time.
this blogpost is originally posted to my gemini gemlog: gemini://senders.io/gemlog/2022-12-31-rss-a-follow-up.gmi
which is where I do most of my writing, converting some useful to share
things over here. It is also where the original RSS gemlog this is a
follow-up to was posted. For context, I wanted to cutback on a lot of
my web consumption, wasting time and just being mindless online. So I
looked to RSS to help centralize and solve this issue.
Recap
So I am using https://tt-rss.org/ as my RSS
aggregator. It’s a self-hosted RSS aggregator that, using profiles,
allows you to subscribe to multiple feeds and have them “synced”
between multiple devices (they’re not synced, you’re connecting to a
central server). I like this because I don’t ever have to worry about
dismissing, reading, or marking anything on my phone to have it still
present on my PC. And I don’t have to worry about feed subscriptions
or my phone pinging a bunch of feeds, or obviously, any third-party
hosting.

CSS Themes Exist Now!?
Yeah news to me too! Seems like according to
the MDN it’s been supported since 2019 for most browsers and
supported by all by now.
This is so wild!
Why is this cool?
Well you may have noticed this is in dark mode now (if you set your
preferences to dark in your OS/Browser). But this is cool because it
means we’re no longer restricted to using Javascript and custom
preferences for websites.
I had assumed this existed because sites like GitHub were defaulting
to darkmode despite me never setting anything in like my profile
settings. But I just assumed based off of my legacy knowledge this was
some custom render trick using javascript.
