Solution proved simple. Apply for a free account at Stadia Maps. Wait for (and chase up) verification email. Verify. Give Stadia this domain and everything now works. Any further effort on the checkins plugin will probably wait until the next problem arises.

Well, this is a drag. Just discovered that all my Checkins at WithKnown show an error because they are not authenticated at Stadia Maps. I hope I can find the problem and fix it.

Such an amazing chain of events with such interesting consequences. Alas, neither of my parents were the diarying kind, but I definitely appreciate my own as an aide-memoire. Seeing what I did on this day is always fun.

Interesting to read Devastatia's IndieWeb Carnival entry, which opens with an account of The Breakfast Club, the day after we saw The Holdovers. We were talking about great high school movies of the past, and of course TBC was among them (also If, The History Boys etc). As a Boomer, I wonder how those and The Holdovers (set in 1971) come across to recent generations.

Repetition!
Robert has a good solution to blocking text-to-speech narration in audiobooks, not a problem for me as I don't listen. But ... the 2023 roundup of Tyler Cowan's podcast said they were recording his voice for a custom text-to-speech. Might be worthwhile.

Even after a hint, which I didn’t actually need, the paucity of potential candidate was unhelpful.
Very excited to have a new season of #sceneonradio appear in my #podcast feed, looking into the coup d’etat in Wilmington, North Carolina, of 1898. John Biewen and his collaborators have produced some of the most compelling podcasts on racism and sexism, and judging by episode 1 this will be every bit as good as previous series.

Reading about how Terence Eden has integrated solar panels, smart metering and a fair-sized battery makes me very envious. I've never heard of anything like that on offer in Italy and as a renter rather than owner, there is absolutely no incentive for me to find out more. But I would genuinely love to pre-pay for my electricity for 10 years
