I use Fastmail for my mail service and it was nice that it was mentioned in this article. I'm going to have to add reviewing my post about BIMI to my list of things to do.
Email authentication is evolving, and Ed25519 DKIM keys promise clear advantages over traditional RSA: smaller keys, faster verification, and stronger cryptographic guarantees. But those benefits only matter if mailbox providers actually support the standard. To find out, Red Sift analyzed DKIM behavior across major email platforms to answer critical questions for email administrators: can Ed25519 keys be deployed safely today without risking authentication failures?
Unfortunately, I’m still at a place where I can justify registering a trademark so that people can see my picture in their email.
I like coming across articles where people use technology to make things better.
Back in January (how has it been two months already!?), I was working on the UML diagrams for my Kindle Display post and realized I had no idea how to make them accessible for screen readers.
This one was sitting in my drafts folder for a while. I’ve got a couple of these that deserve to be shared.
I miss the days where I thought something like this was only for the super paranoid.
Tor is an overlay network that was specifically designed to protect the privacy of its users. The Tor Network uses multiple layers of encryption and relays in order to protect a person’s location and other potential identifiers, such as an IP address.
Its name comes from the acronym for The Onion Router, a routing system using multiple layers that can get peeled off at each step, like an onion 🧅

I’m currently boycotting McDonalds anyway. I’ve been playing with look up all the companies that backed Trump and correlating how healthy the food is. Maybe there is a connection between them.
China has cancelled 12,000 metric tons of US pork imports, marking the largest cancellation since the pandemic's onset, amidst escalating trade tensions. This move deals a blow to American pork producers, who face high tariffs, hindering their competitiveness in the crucial Chinese market. The National Pork Producers Council highlights the impossible competition due to these tariffs.
I have been looking for this link for a very long time! I thought it was taken down for whatever reason and kept kicking myself for not saving it. I think it's a very good read as we start a new year
Experience “ū—”: The Last Distraction-Free Writing Environment You’ll Buy. Today.
…
The Ourobouros Fun Factory, LLC is proud to announce a revolutionary new tool for serious artists doing serious work. It’s a distraction-free writing environment that we call “ū–” (pron. “YOOOoooouuuuu…”).
Near the end of the year, I look forward to two sites that release some amazing articles about web development.
HTMHell Advent Calendar 2024
In 2022, I launched the HTMHell Advent Calendar, which was a great success. Since then, dozens of authors worldwide have contributed fantastic articles on security, accessibility, UX, and performance every year. This year, we’re back again with twenty-four more posts.
When I was in college, I had a web development class where the teacher would start off every session with websites that had questionable
decisions about the design. This site seems to be a continuation of that but shows you how to correct it.
12 Days of Web
A year-end celebration of fundamental web technologies: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
In addition to the articles, the authors post links to charities that they are raising money and awareness for.
This was a pretty nice article about things getting focus and how that plays with accessibility.
In accessibility, “focusable” UI elements are represented by two separate yet equally important concepts: the elements who can be focused sequentially and those who can only receive focus programmatically. These are their stories. Dun-Dun
This was making the rounds a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to link to it, but it was sitting in the backlog as I was trying to make something else perfect.
I don’t remember what I was waiting for, but I’m hoping that you enjoy it.
So let's talk about monetizing a blog, starting with the most obvious and perhaps easiest avenue: display advertising.

Another reason that I don’t like QR codes.
Public Warning.
If you EVER, and I do mean EVER see a QR code for anything... not just some things, ANYTHING.
Treat it as a scam, do not scan it, they can easily be covered up with malicious redirects to fake sites to steal your financial details. Direct you to malware sites to try and infect your device.
Treat them all the same... as toxic, potential harmful to your identity and security.
Never trust them... EVER!!!
If you 100% must use one, do what you should be doing at any (ATM) cash machine, check for devices that have been installed by crooks. See if you can peel the code off, not just at the area around the code, but the whole sign... look for anything unusual and if you have any doubts... even if it's 1% doubt... DON'T USE IT
This isn't scaremongering, scammers and thieves are out there every day, placing fake QR codes on signs all over the place. No where is safe from them. The way to win is not to play. Don;t buy into the enshitification of everything, don;t be told that you can ONLY do it one specific way (legally they have to offer more than one way to pay for a service).
Please boost and spread the word.
