Remove leading newlines
This standardises all my markdown files to have no leading newline after the `---` that ends the frontmatter. This makes display on Gemini (in which newlines matter) much more consistent! I can't spot any errors with the regex I used here, but there may be one or two articles that change shape — hopefully I can spot them and fix them!

I spend a good few days every couple of months building an electronics project of one variety or another, so I have _a lot_ of breadboard, veroboard, microcontroller boards, and ICs that do word and wonderful things floating about the place.

This research team has built a method of reducing a Gameboy ROM to only the subset of its data needed to play a certain recorded section of a mini-playthrough.
|

This means you can insert a _playable_ of a game into your site, without encroaching on copyright! Plus you can upload the (same) ROM and continue playing from that point in the game too. This is extremely cool!

I've a niggling mini-project to write code to insert new emoji into my mac's system emoji font file.

Naturally this wouldn't be useful to anyone except myself (as no-one else would have this glyph), but I'm using it as a way to learn how TrueType Fonts are put together.

I just cleared that backlog of chats & emails I've been procrastinating handling for at least a year (courtesy of all my hard feels of 2023). Clearing them out & reconnecting with folks feels _gooood_.
|
||||
|

…If you were expecting a message from me and _don't_ have one — I accidentally deleted it 😳 please say hi again!

Interesting 2024 was _superb_! Part of me wants to gush about all the wonderful talks, but also _so much_ of this wonderful evening of eclectic talks is the people and the atmosphere and the passion of the speakers.

It's not a complete solution by any means (it would only work for static sites) but I'm leaning hard into the use of the peer-to-peer [IPFS](/tags/ipfs) to take the teeth out of DDoS attacks.
|
||||
|
||||
Though today most IPFS sites are served from IPFS↔HTTP gateways (which will fall to a sufficient DDoS attack, like any other server), using the p2p IPFS protocol itself would mean an attacker could only ever take out specific peers. Though that's still unpleasant, the aim (taking down a given site) is unachievable, so it disincentivises site-specific attacks.

There are _a lot_ of Facebook posts in my export; many of them are trash, or so link-rotted I'm avoiding importing them here, but I'm utterly fascinated by what the world of the early internet was for me. Also, somehow, I was _even more_ excitable 😅
