Bluesky's age assurance sucks, here's how to work around it.

Bluesky has implemented age verification measures in response to regional laws that restrict access, prompting users to verify their age through Epic Games' Kids Web Services before they can access adult content.

This sucks, but thankfully there are ways to work around it.

Before diving in: I encourage you to read this entire document, including the

// Fetch first extension matching the name if any

let sidebery_policy = WebExtensionPolicy.getActiveExtensions().filter((ext) => ext.name == "Sidebery")[0]
let sidebery_browser;
let init_sidebery_browser;

if (sidebery_policy) {
	let sidebery_extension = sidebery_policy.extension;
	let sidebery_uri = sidebery_extension.manifest.sidebar_action.default_panel;

Git Commit Freeze Due to GPG Lock Issues

If you encounter a problem where you cannot commit changes in Git – neither through the terminal nor via the GitHub Desktop application – the issue might be a freeze during the Git commit process. This is often caused by GPG lock issues. Below is a concise and step-by-step guide to resolve this problem.

Solution Steps

1. Check for GPG Lock Messages

Open your terminal and try to perform a GPG operation (like signing a test message). If you see repeated messages like gpg: waiting for lock (held by [process_id]) ..., it indicates a lock issue.

Pure ESM package

The package that linked you here is now pure ESM. It cannot be require()'d from CommonJS.

This means you have the following choices:

1. Use ESM yourself. (preferred)
   Use import foo from 'foo' instead of const foo = require('foo') to import the package. You also need to put "type": "module" in your package.json and more. Follow the below guide.
2. If the package is used in an async context, you could use await import(…) from CommonJS instead of require(…).
3. Stay on the existing version of the package until you can move to ESM.

Colours in terminal

It's a common confusion about terminal colours... Actually we have this:

• plain ascii
• ansi escape codes (16 colour codes with bold/italic and background)
• 256 colour palette (216 colours + 16 ansi + 24 gray) (colors are 24bit)
• 24bit true colour ("888" colours (aka 16 milion))
