Image hit counters! Who's going to build the github developer web ring? We need all the old things back.
If we’re going back to the 90s, can we re-embrace avoidance of proprietary Microsoft tools (GitHub) in favor of f/oss alternatives?

What do you recommend? There was one I remember seeing the name of here but I've forgotten

It has webhooks that tie nicely into my (also self-hosted) Drone (CI) and Mattermost (f/oss self-hosted Slack replacement) and CapRover (self-hosted Heroku) setups.

I did some research before writing an article. GitHub started proxying images in 2014, and there are a lot of repositories that use this technique to keep their stats. I think GitHub is OK with that.
Re: proxy security concerns: >Unlike GitHub, most of them don't even bother proxying the image to hide IP, referrer, and browser agent. If you want to allow external images on your site, you must proxy them and hide everything about a person who requested it. > A person with bad intentions can trick a victim into opening your profile that looks completely legit and detect his IP and a browser. Can you explain this in…
Such people usually know, that clicking on random links is not safe.

[inserts gif of visitor counter spinning out of control] [also adds in some "under construction" gifs] I really wish I had some way to access my original AOL website. So many memories... and web ring links...
Friendly reminder that you can disable automatic downloading of remote images on emails on your phone and other email clients. People use it to track if you've read or not the email, engagement etc.
Unrelated badge ideas: 1. Write a watcher that periodically reports whether you’re actively using a coding-related app (Terminal, VS Code, etc.) to a server you control, and serve a “coding”/“not coding” badge on your profile page; (could even detect which project you’re working on, and display that;) 2. Write an Apple Watch app that periodically reports whether you’re asleep, and serve a “sleeping”/“awake”/“unknown”…
Would this Apple Watch app be able to detect increased heart rate and brisk hand movements? Asking for a friend.
Find out who's currently excited about demonstrating middle-out compression to one's mates? :-)
First I heard about a readme for your profile page. So the facebook-ification of GitHub progresses? At what point is LinkedIn going to be merged into GitHub? (Only partially /s)
It's just gone live in the last day or so. The designer talked about it here a few weeks ago: https://twitter.com/pifafu/status/1265773172520914944 Personally I don't see much reason for this to be implemented via a git repository (rather than a text field in a database, like the existing Bio text), other than "we're GitHub, everything's a git repository, so why not". At the moment, it's a single-file repository. Per…
I guess they didn't want any past private repository to have its README public just because they added a profile feature.

Taken to its logical conclusion, this would mean you're opposed to the existence of web archives (which you probably aren't).
