I was able to restore my entries after clicking the “Restore” button, and choosing iCloud. However, the export feature is now paywalled.

This is hostageware, plain and simple.

I even had a todo to move away from it after I heard it had been acquired… guess it’s my fault for getting busy and not getting around to it.

One of my rules is to only use software where you can export your data easily. I guess I need to add another rule where I only use software where I control when it updates. That might be impossible with Apple devices though…

Does anyone know a way to get a full dump of pre-2021 Wikipedia?

Their dumps page only has current dumps.

I know it’s not perfect (i.e. anyone can edit Wikipedia), but I think having it would be a good hedge in case things get really bad.

I’m working on a small side project that allows you to react to any URL with any emoji.

https://opinionmoji.com/

It’s mainly an excuse to learn some new things (HTMX, Prisma, DigitalOcean, etc.), as well as get comfortable building and shipping something from scratch on my own.

My goal is to eventually see large (and funny) swings in reactions in realtime.
