  • State of the Thunder 7: Extended Support Release 140 (and explaining our four channels)

    In this latest State of the Thunder, we're discussing the upcoming yearly ESR, 140.0, which is due out June 24, 2025. We explain our numbering convention and our different channels, which comes from Firefox, and the difference between ESR, Release, Beta, and Daily. Find out why we're encouraging to use the monthly Release channel, but how this won't take anything away from ESR. Learn more about what channel is right for you (especially if you use add-ons), how to help us with using Beta and Daily, and how to safely move between ESR and Release. And as always, we finish with a community shoutout!

    • The modern web sucks. My band's website doesn't.

      My band has a website. I made it using 1990s technology. And 2K20s technology. And I think it's pretty nice.

      In today's episode, I'll cover the Eleventy static site generator, and how I adapted a design made on vintage hardware (using AOLPress on Windows 95!) to a modern workflow.

      Important links mentioned in the video:

      🖥️ Homestar Runner's "Back to a Website" toon (which may have inspired this video): https://homestarrunner.com/toons/backtoawebsite
      🎈 Eleventy (or 11ty as the cool kids call it): https://www.11ty.dev/
      🎉 Sophia Brandt wrote up a helpful article about deploying to GitHub Pages with Eleventy: https://www.rockyourcode.com/how-to-deploy-eleventy-to-github-pages-with-github-actions/

      And if you want to help me make more unsponsored videos like this one:

      Chapters:

      0:00 I say "greetings" and explain why I like static sites
      2:41 What is a static site generator anyway?
      4:13 About my website (thestopbits.net)
      6:01 Modding the Eleventy template
      9:14 Adding posts to Eleventy
      10:04 I talk too long about the modern web

        • Greenland-Timelapse-2025

          Timelapse taken "overnight" but through the polar day in May 2025. It shows 24 hours of change in the sea ice and the movement of icebergs out in the bay. As the weather comes piling over the mountains on the other side of the fjord, scientists put out instruments to measure the changing light. This was taken through the kitchen window at the DMI geophysical facility in Qaanaaq in NW Greenland. I added the animation of satellite images to try and relate what we see from the sky with how it looks on the ground. It's not always easy to interpret either one.

          I promised to post a new video if the peertube fundraising campaign reached the half way point: and they smashed it, so here as promised, is a bit of a quick and dirty edit. I hope it gives a sense of the way the daylight and the weather changes the landscape, as well as how the satellite images look on the ground.
