I recently decided to rebuild my #11ty /now page and write up a technical post on how it works! Check it out below 😁 #indieweb #blog #now ethanruhl.dev/blog/improvi...

better a (paint)pig than a fascist

For the first time in *years*, I finished an entire book in less than a week! Read about it here: #books #reading #blog #indieweb ethanruhl.dev/blog/i-finis...

I finally fixed my Gitea SSH authentication this weekend! 😎 #devops #gitea >> ethanruhl.dev/blog/i-final...

Working on a piece for the newsletter, this is a data point - smart people keep shrugging and saying “communities don’t like data centers because of ‘vibes’” etc when it’s really that people are in fact smart enough to know they are bad faith neighbors. It is *entirely rational* not to trust them.

NEW: Thermal drone footage shows the Microsoft-backed DataOne AI data center in Vineland, NJ is running dozens of gas generators. None of them have permits. A Floodlight visual investigation with @us.theguardian.com:

I made a hat, and so should you! New blog post up, this time with a slightly different topic 😅 #blog #knitting #analog ethanruhl.dev/blog/i-made-...

I added a "now" page to my website! This was a thing I saw other indieweb folks doing, and it seemed like a great idea. There's also a "past" page linked as an archive of sorts 😎 #indieweb #blog #now ethanruhl.dev/now

Update: 11ty is awesome! It took a bit of reading to get my bearings with how the generator worked, but it seems like there's so much flexibility. Setting up Tailwind + DaisyUI was super easy as well! Super excited to add more posts moving forward! 🤩 Check out the new website here! ethanruhl.dev

After some frustration trying to extend the theme of my current site (using TailwindCSS + DaisyUI) in Hugo, I decided to start migrating my website over to @11ty.dev . I've heard great things, and it seems like it's much more customizable. Stay tuned for updates 😅 #webdev #indieweb

Recently decided to throw myself in the deep end and give CachyOS ( #archlinux ) a try as my daily driver OS. It.. didn't quite go as planned 💀 Read more below: ethanruhldev.tech/posts/switch...

Given all of the recent genAI discussion, I wish to repost this.

also if you're making a game and it has scenes: you want scenes to be a stack. you do not want there to be a "current scene" variable and you just go from scene to scene trust me it has to be a stack

I wrote a manifesto for making games, and (not) selling them, for #manifestojam illomens.itch.io/no-one-is-go...

"We have a kickass concept art team, and our art book is going to rock" is how you sell me a game.

My favorite routine while working on E-Day at The Coalition was checking the concept art boards. I knew the days and hours they updated. The level of talent on display was insane, and it was a great way to get motivated over my morning coffee.

you don't have to use an extension to do this on Firefox • open settings > search • scroll down to search shortcuts and click add • fill out according to the image below (text in alt text) • click add engine • scroll back up and select "DuckDuckGo No Ai" under "default search engine"

Since Google revealed its plans for an AI search overhaul, visits to our "No AI" search page have tripled…and they’re still rising! Want to make it your default on Chrome or Firefox? Grab our No-AI extensions and banish AI-assisted answers, chat, and AI images. (1/3)

IMPORTANT: For any artists/writers/etc etc, using Linktree to point people to their work, from 5 July, they'll be feeding all imagery you use on your landing page into DALL-E by OpenAI. I deleted my account this morning.

Arte es Ética@arteesetica.bsky.social · 5mo ago

¡ATENCIÓN! 🚨 El 5 de Julio de 2026 entra en vigencia la actualización de los ToS de Linktree. Esto incluye el uso de IA generativa (Dall-E de OpenAI) con los textos, imágenes y links que el usuario suba a su cuenta. Incluso compartirán toda la info del usuario con otros proveedores externos de IA ⚠️

Writing blog posts is super relaxing. I do proper "artisan writing" where you type every single character by hand. I know, it sounds kinda crazy in 2026 but you should try it yourself. It's pretty chill. https://bitbra.in/blog

It’s really frightening.

Hello everyone, I just made this starter pack for game devs who refuse to use generative AI. In any capacity at all, including for ideas or placeholders or code or inspiration or whatever excuses people have. No AI use, period. Let me know if you want added. go.bsky.app/6DRdowf

Went to an anti AI datacentre protest march today and a friend of mine got a picture that summed it all up

This needs too be normalized at conventions.

🌴 MAJOR ANNOUCEMENT! 🌴 Ourlands, my cozy island builder, will arrive on June 2, 2026 on both Steam and the Epic Games Store! I'd greatly appreciate it if you could go and wishlist it and share it with EVERYONE YOU KNOW! Spread the vibes. Links below 👇🏽

at my limit but also feeling fresh

the fuck it will
