When I start building personal web services these days - dashboards to help manage our home or little test projects - I have to first sit myself down and say: \"yes, we like the cloud services. The cloud services are a shiny trap. They are the fairy feast you must turn away from. Do not eat the goblin fruit at the altar of their edge networks and scaling deploys, because your data will not be your own and your app will exist at the whims of a corporation whose product is you. Now, SSH into your box. Create a SQLite database. Create a Deno API. Create an HTMX form. There. You own your shit again. Isn't that better?\"

BlogFlock will always be free to use and never show you ads.

โญ It's suddenly spring and there are loads of exciting new features on BlogFlock, my social network for sharing lists of blogs you love with friends!

๐Ÿงก A 'posting frequency' filter to help tune out the noisiest feeds and highlight quieter, less frequenty updated blogs.
๐Ÿงก List descriptions now support Markdown (suggested by @jthingelstad)
๐Ÿงก You can delete lists!
๐Ÿงก The list search can be sorted and the filter has been fixed
๐Ÿงก On the backend, I've made huge reliability improvements and migrated to #Postgres.

My favourite user-created list at the moment is https://blogflock.com/list/rED4E, which is full of such fascinating blogs.

I asked this on Cohost back when, well, you know, it was (๐Ÿ˜ฅ), and got some great responses. But I want more! What is a sci-fi novel that genuinely rocked your world off its foundations? That years later you suddenly stop and remember and the wonder floods back? A sci-fi novel that did the thing the very best sci-fi does: transformed you?
