Added dynamic, real-time status updates
Using Nginx SSI (to keep this site JavaScript-free), I implemented live, dynamic status updates for my general location, what I'm currently watching, and listening to. Current location uses a manual iOS Shortcut I can trigger on the home screen. The current album and listening state come from Apple Music, polling every 5 minutes. The last film watched (including real-time viewing status) uses a Plex Media Server webhook. This system will also push these updates to the fields on my Mastodon profile.

Added essay, "The Stars in Your Eyes Are Stolen: Æon Flux and Decentralized Power Systems"
For those who remember Æon Flux, it was more than just sex and violence. Re-watching it decades later, its social and political messages are clearer.
