EatTheCorn.com is officially 19 years old as of today! It is, with a difference, the world’s oldest X-Files website that is still actively maintained. (English-speaking website I should specify, as there are still some non-English old-timers too.)

This website is now also federated via the ActivityPub protocol, so you can follow and interact with me in the Fediverse (e.g., Mastodon) at: @orodromeus@www.eatthecorn.com. Edit: the WordPress/Fediverse linking seems to have some issues, so instead it is best to follow my account, which I will use to notify website updates: @orodromeus@mstdn.social.

This appears to be the best option going forward, considering the all-encompassing enshittification. I will also be testing bridges to other things (like BlueSky bridge). This will take some experimenting. Over the past few years I had taken the habit of posting updates in Facebook and updating the website itself only occasionally; this will change from now on, expect more frequent website updates and links to those updates in other social media.

Finally, some fun! With this “Muldle” app, you can test your X-Files knowledge! Only the “High Score” tab works for me: try to identify which episode screenshots come from, identify ten in a row to get one point, and compete with fans worldwide. I am currently at number 75, which is no small feat.
