The New HTTP Order

Posted on January 1, 2025 by mariteaux

Happy new year to all our faithful blog readers! January is always the time for reflection and looking forward to the future, and while I do the personal talk on my personal site, I want to discuss the future of you connecting to this here site network here today. I’ve beaten this drum before, but I’m about ready to puncture a hole in it today, because I’m pretty sure there’s not going to be a drum to beat in the next few years.

I am seeing the death of the HTTP-only connection coming in the next year or two, and I am pissed. I will have to force HTTPS on somnolescent.net, something I have resisted at every turn so far, if we want to remain accessible to the wider Web. Think this is hyperbole? Here’s a nice throwback to ring in 2025—have a steaming hot marf rant to keep you warm in these winter months.

Merry Christmas!

Posted on December 25, 2024 by caby

Caby here to wish the other folks at Somnolescent (and anyone else who might see this) a very Merry Christmas! I hope today has been and continues to be good to you, and I wish you deepest thanks for how much more wonderful you’ve made my year. I’ll have something longer out sometime later this month but Cammy encouraged me to create a blogpost to show off this year’s festive group pic,,,

Oh, you want to see the picture? Of course, here you go! Continue reading →

Itty Bitty Trip Doodles

Posted on October 18, 2023 by caby

A little while back, I told Cammy about a couple doodles I’d done in my sketchbook on my coach trip home from London after we said our goodbyes and he headed on a plane back home, just trying to cram some little memories onto paper before they disappeared from my head, and he suggested that I should put them on the blog when he finished the trip journal. Thought that was a super cute idea! I had intended on working on it before he finished but time got the better of me, so it is a little late,,, Sorry, Cammy! Continue reading →

art fight 2023 (first blood)

Posted on August 6, 2023 by fiveducks

Hey! Been a while. Been a weird year.

I participated in Art Fight for the first time last month. Call it part of my “being less of a hermit” arc. Which is funny because I dropped Twitter and barely pay any attention to any other social media. (I did say less of a hermit.)

But enough about the downfall of the modern internet, I’m here to talk about Art Fight. Which also wound up having drama, funnily enough, though I didn’t pay much attention.

Mac and Cheese disaster

So I saw a video of a guy making some real bomb mac and cheese really easily by cooking the noodles, leaving some of the pasta water in it after draining and adding cheese shredder shredded cheese to the mix. … Continue reading →
