Bahá’í Reader 0.1.8 is out with a new Today view: the Badí‘ date, sunrise, noon and sunset, your obligatory prayer time, the next Feast and Holy Day, the Fast and the passage of the day.

I've lost old blogs the usual ways: Geocities, LiveJournal, a host that quietly folded. Most of us don't lose writing because we're careless. The platform changes, the feed dies, the URL turns into a 404. Persistwise is my answer to that. It watches your RSS feed and keeps three copies of every new post: a Wayback Machine snapshot, an IPFS pin, and a saved copy. You keep writing wherever you already do.

Persistwise — writing that outlasts the platform

Persistwise archives RSS posts to the Wayback Machine and IPFS so writing outlasts the platform.

New My Azeroth Life bonus episode: "Wings, Ghouls and a Very Long Monday." I introduce my two new Retail characters. Lemmindris, a Night Elf Demon Hunter, gets a fast, action-packed origin. Ghoulsbie was a human from Lordaeron who died, became Forsaken, then died again and rose as a death knight. His story is darker, and he's pretty cynical about it. He can't even win at being dead. About 18 minutes.

New on My Azeroth Life: Steel Over Sparkles. WoW Forever starts Nov 4 and I'm going analog there: Warrior, Rogue, Hunter and Paladin, probably all Horde. Names come after they're safely mine. In Retail I'll only play what Forever doesn't have: Lemmindris, a Night Elf Demon Hunter, and Ghoulsbie, a Death Knight. Expect more Forever than Retail for a while.

Linkguard has a small detail I like: when a page sits behind bot protection, it gets reported as blocked, not dead. A link checker that cries wolf every time a site throws up a bot check isn't much help. It's a free GitHub Action for Jekyll, Hugo and folderblog sites. It finds dead outbound links and looks up Wayback Machine copies for them, and it's report-only unless you ask it to open a pull request.

Linkguard: link checker for static sites

A free GitHub Action that checks outbound links in Jekyll, Hugo and folderblog sites and finds Wayback Machine snapshots for dead ones.

Small fm-cli tip: when you are reading a message, press b to open its HTML version in your browser, or i to load the images inline if your terminal can draw them. Plain text by default, the fancy version only when you ask for it.

fm-cli: Fastmail from the terminal

A small Go client for Fastmail

For the relay nerds: my relay lists its limits right in its NIP-11 info doc, so clients know what to expect up front. Messages can be up to 128 KB, you get 20 subscriptions per connection, and queries return 100 events by default or up to 500 if you ask. Reading is open to anyone, writes are for members. wss://relay.pleb.one

I wrote up the full story of Persistwise on the blog. Most of us don't lose writing because we're careless. We lose it because the web is a rental, and the Wayback Machine only saves what someone asks it to save. So Persistwise asks every time. It reads your RSS feed every 15 minutes and keeps three copies of each new post: a Wayback snapshot, an IPFS pin, and a saved copy.

Fixed a sneaky bug in Autonomix CLI. Our ideas repo builds a package named idea, but the installed check only guessed from the app and repo names. So the install worked, the check said not installed, and the app got reinstalled on every update. Now it reads the real package name from the downloaded file (pacman, .deb or .rpm) and saves it. Apps already in your config fix themselves on the next check. It ships in the next release.

autonomix-cli: install apps straight from GitHub Releases

A terminal utility, written in Go, that installs and manages applications directly from GitHub Releases, and tells you when a new release lands.

New on My Azeroth Life: the Vilebranch laid a fog over Numazon to hide what they were doing to the Witherbark. It hid Burrly instead. Eight captives walk out alive, and the mist still doesn't lift.

In common fashion, after I fought the battle that is name reservation, I came up with a whole new plan on characters and names. Now I will fight that battle on the 4th. #wowforever #warcraft

I've archived Rune, my AI word processor for Linux and Omarchy. It reached 0.8.7 in about two weeks with 504 tests, and I learned a lot. Then I found WordCraft, a fast open-source Rust word processor from the ArtCraft team. It already does what Rune set out to do, and more. Its AI works through a CLI, a JSON control channel and an MCP server, so you bring whichever assistant you like. Rune's code stays up under MIT if you want to learn from it or fork it.

New on My Azeroth Life: "The Sunwalker at Fairbreeze." Meet Dawnbrisket, the Tauren camp cook who kept the smoke pit for the Sunwalkers' dawn drums until An'she answered as warmth in his hands, which for a cook is a very confusing way to be chosen. Left behind when Aponi Brightmane went to the Siege of the Sunwell, he reaches Quel'Thalas late, takes up Astalor's hunts, and gets jumped four times in Fairbreeze.

My Azeroth Life Podcast question: the show follows several characters, with a Retail and a Forever episode each week. Would you rather get one weekly show with everyone's stories, or a short episode per character, maybe one a day? #warcraft #wowforever #azeroth #podcasts

Small thing I like about my relay: it handles more than short notes. It supports long-form posts (NIP-23), private DMs (NIP-17), lists (NIP-51) and outbox relay lists (NIP-65), among others. Reading is open to anyone, so feel free to add it. wss://relay.pleb.one

StoryTracker, the free WoW addon for Forever and Retail, now takes a screenshot at each story moment (quest turn-ins, level-ups, boss kills, first visits to a zone, deaths and more) and logs what happened and where. Each kind and the 15-minute timer can be switched off, and new releases install cleanly with addon managers like OmaForge.
