  RE: https://social.lol/@neatnik/117619804907762736 There’s another well-known “tiny” analytics service out there, but I don't think many people realize that its creator uses Grok to build it, and also recently donated money to DHH's fascist techbro club. 😕 Anyway. I’m happy to put a more ethical alternative out there with NeatStats.

  Emails from info@omg.lol and id@neatnik.net are now delivered via Scaleway's European TES (Transactional Email Service), directly from Paris. (Don't worry, we'll dust off any baguette crumbs first.) We'll continue to run our own email infrastructure (in Nuremberg), but at least now our important transactional emails will still reach Outlook users even when Microsoft gets cranky and decides to arbitrarily block swaths of Hetzner's IP space. Resiliency! 💪 https://wordwrap.lol...

  As the year draws to a close, you might consider printing a 2027 full-year-on-a-page calendar. I've got you covered here: https://www.neatnik.net/calendar/?year=2027 (Also, is it just me or did 2026 go by way too quickly?) https://wordwrap.lol/neatnik/2026-11-13_214611

  omg.lol's default IRC web client (https://chat.social.lol) is now Obby! It's very nice. KiwiIRC lives on at https://kiwi.social.lol, and Obby can continue to be reached at https://obby.social.lol. Also, if you've used Kiwi in the past, it would have set your "real name" value to a link to KiwiIRC (in the ancient tradition of some IRC clients advertising themselves through that field 🙄). If you want to set your real name value to something else, you can type /SETNAME Your N...

  Elon Musk owns X. Solely. There is no board of directors; there is no higher governance structure. X *is* Elon Musk. When you "return to X", you're supporting Elon Musk, full stop. There's no way around it. When you post there, you're contributing to him. Directly. So if you're not going into this with your eyes open, you're fooling yourself. But if you *are* going into it with your eyes open, you are the problem.
