neubot 2026.01.11 is here to fix a few more issues!

• Weather requests now have a widget

• You can now set temperature units in Settings

• Fixed Query Highlighting

• Show Mode (Beta)

• Improved API Documentation

• JWT Tokens & Authorization Bearer headers

• Developer Portal & OAuth apps have been removed and replaced with the previous system, now easier to use with headers instead of cookies.

neubot 2026.01.10 is here! The first neubot update of 2026!

Changes:

• Unlimited General Queries - General Queries are no longer subject to monthly rate limits.

• More Natural Responses - Responses are now friendlier and easier to read.

• Improved Home Assistant Support - You can now check if devices are on or off.

• Revamped API - The new API makes using neubot in your app even easier! Widgets are now accessible from the API and we simplified the login process.

• Modular Codebase - Completely refactored the codebase for modularity, ease of maintenance, and performance.

• Developer Resources - Get started with the new API and integrate neubot into your app with the new API Documentation and Developer Portal

• New Hosting - neubot is now hosted on the JoshAtticus Deploy infrastructure rather than my personal home server, so it should be more reliable and faster for more users.

every week since I got my pixel watch this day in January 2023 fitbit sends me a email telling me I’ve gained 14.5kg and that this is consistent with last week so I now apparently weigh over 2.2 metric tons.

I have never entered my weight into Fitbit

JoshAtticusID is now less annoying to use, by default you now stay signed in for 24 hours rather than 2, and 30 days if you check “Remember Me” while signing in.

When authorising an OAuth2 app you’ve already signed into, you’ll be asked to authorise it much less frequently.

My blog has a new feature, syncing comments from wasteof.money! Comments made on new posts about blog posts here will be synced to the appropriate post on my blog. There’s already some synced comments on the post I’ve reposted if you want to see it in action, comments are synced every 15 minutes but I can make it 30 minutes, an hour etc if needed. The bot may be used to sync comments from other places at a later date, but for now it’s just wasteof.money. https://blog.joshattic.us/bot

edit: oops, it worked on my local testing environment but not in production, it should work soon

edit 2: fixed!

Someone has FINALLY said something about fake 5G. Non-standalone 5G was a mistake and I hate it and we should kill all carriers that label 5G NSA as 5G when it’s more like 4.5G https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSIin43UZ2s

I lost $40 on ts listing I only sold one iPad

I released my joshatticus.is-a.dev domain from my old website for literally 15 minutes and someone else has taken it and added it to their github pages, like, can I have it back???

Completely confused as to why this blog post has brought the most traffic to my blog in a single day, it literally got 150 page hits within an hour, my plausible is showing a 1,200% increase in traffic lmao
