Mate insisted on putting on Red One last night
A Christmas movie, in November. But, he's been ill, so I'll let that pass.
It's a great movie, too. Brilliant fun.
But there was an underlying message which I didn't appreciate. They made it clear, if there was no Santa then there was no Christmas.
But that's not true, is it?
Christmas isn't about old Saint Nick.
It's about Christ.
No matter how much people try and subvert the meaning and purpose of the celebration, it doesn't change reality.

Going to adapt this, tonight or tomorrow, so you can pull up and view the interactions between the account you're viewing and the people you follow. Quick and easy. Doesn't need AI and the associated cost, either.
#nevent1q…3ph5

2026-10-31 16:55:36 UTC

I ditched the followers metric because it was utterly unreliable and a poor metric for anything beyond feeding ego.
This is better. It's not entirely accurate, it only reaches out and checks so far, but should, over time and interactions, provide more useful insight when viewing accounts than accounts which once clicked follow.
This isn't a WoT thing, btw.

Right, done all I wanted to for now with the location thing. I'll be able to expand on that at a later date and make it even more useful, but for now it does what I need it to do.
Next task is to change the followers list. By change, I mean, remove. What's the point of it? What does it actually tell you about a person? Nothing useful, really, given the number of dead accounts on here, as well as lurkers. So I'm going to experiment with interaction scoring, a sort of WoT type model, I guess, but it's not a WoT, it's just...activity metrics. But, again, it'll be extensible, like the location thing I just added.

I've added automatic meta data stripping to images on Plume (video next) along with appropriate notifications.
I've also added a pin to the compose boxes, as well as replies, so you can manually place a map object in a note, or kind 20 image, or video. Being able to share place information is useful and could be built on further later on. I decided to do it this way because reasons.
This note is just a test, btw. The map data should be stored as a tag in the note and will possibly (probably) only render in Plume atm, so I've added an option to encode it directly in the note instead.

#nevent1q…rrvu

2026-10-30 11:28:50 UTC

Just trying with an idea. I see most people setting their clients up to strip meta data from image and video uploads, which seems smart.
However, I'd like to be able to actually share that info sometimes.
So I'm considering an opt in, so you can share a geohash of the location an image was taken and then Plume and any compatible client could display a map or satellite view of the location.
I reckon I'd use that, and I reckon I'd enjoy seeing the places where some photography is shared from.
Could then collate that in to a global view of great locations for getting the best shots and be able to plan trips out to those places to try my own hand.
Thoughts, #nostr?

Still waiting for him to come back to the ward. Went for a walk up The Hill while I wait.
It's not actually called The Hill, it's Portsdown Hill, part of the beautiful South Downs.
But in Pompey we only have one hill and it's pretty obvious what we're talking about, hence "The Hill".
Anyway, the view is lovely, sometimes. But it's bloody steep.
I've walked up and down it more than a few times recently. I'm nit sure if I've extended or reduced my lifespan, but it's taken a lot of effort, either way.
I may have had too much coffee.

Just added list feed to Plume, which actually makes lists useful to me again now. Book lists appear to be interoperable with #Alexandria now, which is nice, now music playlists. Then a few cosmetic changes.
Before then though, I must go back to the hospital and inspect the butchers work.

Mate's finally in for his op, so while I'm waiting I'm going to carry on fixing things in Plume and see if I can't make better use of lists.

There's a casualty in every storm down here.

Bloody hell...I'm back on the boat, big tides expected tonight, but I've got to be up when the tide's falling to pull her lines a bit tighter and empty the bilge. Storms always make me nervous, she's been damaged in three storms now and I'm constantly chasing repairs. Still, it beats living in the city, despite the effort. I can tolerate town for short periods but those periods are getting shorter and shorter as the years roll on.
