Serving static HTML files: I’m surprised by the eagerness not to show the filename extension .html in URLs:
1. Many static site generators:
• Old style: /blog-post-title.html
• New style: /blog-post-title/index.html
2. Cloudflare:
• Requested URL: /blog-post-title.html
• Forwarded to: /blog-post-title
Downsides:
1. More complicated file system structure
2. Two URLs for same file

This sounds like good news(?)

#Mastodon: I keep thinking that a simple kind of nomadic identity (*) could look like this:
• A domain as a user name resolves to a “current account name” (via a DNS record).
• Each server has the same paths for all posts—no matter if they are local or remote.
• The domain points to the current server.
Phenomenon that perplexes me: Sometimes, Safari completely swallows client-side errors (e.g. exceptions). I have to switch to Chrome or Firefox to see them.
Not sure what is going on. Maybe it’s just me?
