@robinsloan I have come to suspect that slowly redesigning your website (forever) provides almost exactly the same kind of light absorption & calm satisfaction as knitting or embroidery (twitter.com/_/status/1338160419769208832)

#
[jgmac1106] only difference when I am mad at the code on my website I am not holding sharp objects...feature not bug
#
[jgmac1106] My best guess connected to the SolarWinds attack, I wonder if Google uses them
#
[jgmac1106] Between FireEye and now SolarWinds turning into one of the largest global hacks in history

#
[jgarber] Oh yeah, this one is bad. 300,000 customers including the largest agencies in the federal government and nearly all Fortune 500 companies.
#
[jgarber] Given the scale and constraints on the number of humans capable of working the hack, it’s unlikely the attackers infiltrated _everyone,_ but that’s cold comfort.

#
[jgmac1106] I moved to chat, but yeah this is a very scary and massive attack.

[chrisaldrich] Ha! I was just thinking about license plates the other day: https://boffosocko.com/2020/12/09/55782243/
#
[chrisaldrich] My version, though not a stand alone site: https://boffosocko.com/tag/license-plates/
#
Loqi [Chris Aldrich] Photos of the custom license plates I collect while driving around.
#
[chrisaldrich] a /tag of tags perhaps?
#
beko ayayay, that background is killing me [chrisaldrich] xD Back to feed reader xD
#
Loqi 😃
#
[chrisaldrich] beko, I've been reconsidering it almost as soon as I added it 🙂
#
beko 🤣
#
[chrisaldrich] I'd done it in years past where the effect was a thinner border and it was more subtle. Now it's too "in your face".
#
beko indeed
#
[chrisaldrich] I have hundreds of license plate photos across dozens of folders going back a decade or more... I need to find some time to collate and post them...
#
[chrisaldrich] [Katherine]++

Loqi [Katherine] has 1 karma over the last year

[jgmac1106] ugly sweater as a background image.....interesting
#
[chrisaldrich] [jgmac1106] only for the holidays....
#
[chrisaldrich] What is holiday theme?
#
Loqi Holiday theme is a temporary custom CSS or other change in a website typically meant to visually indicate the celebration of a holiday or special occasion https://indieweb.org/holiday_theme
#
beko could be worse. snow js for example.
#
[chrisaldrich] that page has a screenshot of my more subtle version in years past....
