The rise of AI tools that let you do anything to your data makes me want all of my data to be in more open formats. I want access to my Photos library as files, not an opaque archive. I want my journal entries in markdown, not locked down in Day One. The open standards people were always right.

We just transitioned CoSocial from an ad-hoc combine of AWS, OVH, and DO to @fedihost, see https://fedihost.co, a Managed Fediverse Hosting outfit. Already feels faster, and should be cheaper too. Self-managed instances are cool but not, I suspect, the general-case future.
FediHost - Managed Fediverse Hosting
FediHost is a managed fediverse hosting service. With a couple of clicks you can be up and running with your own Mastodon or Peertube instance.

HTTP has a new method: QUERY. Tl;dr: GET with a body.

The HTTP QUERY Method
This specification defines the QUERY method for HTTP. A QUERY requests that the request target process the enclosed content in a safe and idempotent manner and then respond with the result of that processing. This is similar to POST requests but can be automatically repeated or restarted without concern for partial state changes.
