Tumblr will migrate all of it’s half a billion blogs to WordPress on the backend

We’re not talking about changing Tumblr. We’re not turning Tumblr into WordPress.

This won’t be easy. Tumblr hosts over half a billion blogs. We’re talking about one of the largest technical migrations in internet history. Some people think it’s impossible. But we say, “challenge accepted.”

Nilay Patel on Threads: „And I thought our WordPress migration was complicated“, speaking of The Verge’s recent migration.

Shipping Tumblr and WordPress

Since Automattic acquired Tumblr we’ve made it more efficient, grown its revenue, and worked to improve the platform. But there’s one part of the plan that we haven’t yet started, which is to run T…

“We propose the symbol ⁂ to represent the fediverse”

⁂ is a typographical character, not an icon that needs to be inserted as an image. Unique-looking, but standardised. This means it’s very easy to copy-paste around! […]

⁂ is called an asterism. In astronomy, it refers to groups of stars in the sky, akin to constellations. We suggest that it’s a very fitting symbol for the fediverse, a galaxy of interconnected spaces which is decentralised and has an astronomically-themed name. It represents several stars coming together, connecting but each their own, without a centre.

Nice idea. I just followed @liaizon’s example and set the iOS/macOS text replacement feature to expand *** into ⁂.

Podcast: Warum wir (immer noch) bloggen

Ich habe das Gespräch von ben_ und Marc in dessen Kunstpixel-Podcast sehr genossen, in dem die beiden darüber reden, was Bloggen nach rund 20 Jahren für sie (immer noch) ausmacht.

One Million Screenshots

Screenshot der One Million Screenshots-Homepage

We rendered over 1 million of the web’s top homepages. This is the result. […] It’s a collection of 1,048,576 homepage screenshots that you can zoom all the way into. It’s a weired and wonderful way to explore the web.

Gebaut von urlbox, einem Service für das API-basierte Erstellen von Website-Screenshots (was es nicht alles gibt!). Natürlich auch mit der Nr. 949.649 der Millionen Top Homepages: dieser kleinen Webpräsenz. 😎

People and Blogs

People and Blogs is a weekly newsletter series where interesting people talk about themselves and their blogs.

Bleiben wir beim Bloggen über’s Bloggen:

Manuel Moreale, Vertreter des Blogging-Minimalismus und Self-Hostings, hat mit People and Blogs eine Interview-Serie mit unter­schied­lichen Bloggern und immer wieder­holenden Fragen gestartet, die gerade ihre 50. Ausgabe feierte. Mitunter sehr interessant, wenn ihr into blogging seid, wie eventuell der ein oder andere Autor dieser Zeilen.

Build The Earth – Recreating the whole Earth in Minecraft

We want to create a complete 1:1 scale replicate of every building on Earth in the computer game Minecraft, a virtual copy of our whole world that showcases the diversity of culture and living space on our planet and stands as a testament for what we can achieve when we work together as a global humanity.

Bis auf eine einstündige Testsession und den Posts hier habe ich mich mit Minecraft nie wirklich auseinander gesetzt, aber das hier ist schon cool. Irgendwie.

Das „Build The Earth Germany“-Team ist übrigens vorne mit dabei unseren Planeten zu minecraftisieren™ und hat neben dem Kölner Dom oder dem Schweriner Schloss natürlich auch schon so bewahrenswerte Orte, wie die Therme Erding oder die Telekom-Zentrale nachgebaut.

Fehlen nur noch 99,9999997645% der Landfläche der Erde!

monolith – CLI tool for saving complete web pages as a single HTML file

Unlike the conventional “Save page as”, monolith not only saves the target document, it embeds CSS, image, and JavaScript assets all at once, producing a single HTML5 document that is a joy to store and share.

Certainly useful at times.
