It's been a swell many years, awoo.space, but the allowlist-based federation policy has started to bite as more and more friends have joined weird, niche, or single-user instances.

iOS 16.2 will introduce opt-in End to End encryption for most elements of iCloud (all elements that don't rely on legacy integrations - eg. Calendar, Mail, Contacts). US users will get it this year, others will get it early 2023.

"This is my only body. But that doesn't mean I can't do renovations and decorate it how I see fit."

Me: Bamboozled over how to make a client JS-only theme switcher without a FOLM (Flash Of Light Mode) on each page load.
