As a number of others have done, I've added a disclaimer to the top of the archive page saying that old posts may not reflect my current views.
It's not that there is anything particularly contentious but that my take on things, especially social media, has shifted over time.
Just because I may not think a certain way, however, doesn't mean that I can't be proud of what I have previously written – some of it is among my best writing.
I think it is also the case that what I have previously written would still be valid were things online to have remained how they were, but the landscape has shifted. It may not necessarily be my thoughts that have changed but that they are incompatible with the world in which they now exist.

Congratulations to Kevin for making hy(de)blog (an evolution of hyblog) available for download. It takes my original experiment and reworks it, fixes some issues, tidies it up, and adds more options.

The start here page can sometimes take a moment to load depending on which posts are randomly selected and whether they have links.
Even though MySQL is pretty quick, when conducting multiple recursive queries a bit of delay is inevitable. So I thought I'd add a temporary "loading" notice which then loads the actual page content (once generated) into the current body with HTMX.
I had also added this for /reader (replacing "mixed content" images takes a little while) but it caused some other issues so I need to work on that.
