Skip Mobile Wikipedia on Firefox Add-ons
Lately, I've been reading Wikipedia on my phone significantly more than I used to. I get 15 minutes on the train each morning, which makes for some great reading time. But when I'm on my phone, Wikipedia redirects to the mobile website. I'm sure there are some people out there who love it, but it's not for me.
There's a "Desktop" button at the bottom of the page, but it's annoying and inconvenient. So I created my first Firefox Add-on, "Skip Mobile Wikipedia". It rewrites all requests to the mobile Wikipedia website to the standard canonical domain, and sets a cookie to prevent any further redirects. It works on the standard desktop Firefox and on Android.
Install the Add-on and view the source code.

#MediaWiki 1.30.0 is now in #Debian unstable
This is a short term transition to help test something that is close to the next LTS version: 1.31 (out in June!).

Today I had the privilege of judging an elementary school science fair - the same school I attended so many years ago. I'm really excited to see kids learning about and applying the scientific method in addition to basic engineering principles at such a young age.

Turns out one of my favorite websites, http://tay.today/ has been suspended by the hoster, probably because the bill hasn't been paid...
I've managed to recover all of the data thanks to archive.org <3 but now I need to find a cool domain name to host it on :/

Delicate's video is hilarious. Taylor is going to be gif'd more than Emma Stone.
