The Jared White Show — Episode 34

Omg I just realized something great about IndieWeb protocols: it is WAY WAY EASIER to build a generative bot using feeds and optional WebSub In effect the various RSS-generating apps I’ve made ARE bots as far as IndieWeb cares How cool is that?!

A long-winded IndieWeb ramble I wrote on the train back from Portland

(This is a somewhat-edited version of a disconnected ramble I posted on Twitter/Mastodon while on the train home today. I feel like putting this somewhere that I own it, but am not in a good enough mental state to actually write it properly.) Yesterday at IndieWeb Summit, someone – Aaron, I believe – mentioned that one of the big differences between IndieWeb initiatives and ActivityPub is that IndieWeb is made up of simple building blocks you can pick and choose while ActivityPub frontloads a lot of complex work. This is a sentiment I very much agree with and it’s unfortunate that the main reason Mastodon switched from OStatus (which is very IndieWeb-esque) is because it made it slightly less inconvenient to pretend to have private posts. Which aren’t even implemented that well. Mastodon’s ā€œprivateā€ posts really suck from a bunch of standpoints. There’s no ability to backfill or even view on web without being on the same instance, and Mastodon’s actual privacy controls go in the wrong direction, so it’s still necessary for a separate vent account. As usual I don’t know if this is a problem with ActivityPub itself, or an artifact of how Mastodon shoehorned its functionality into ActivityPub, but either way, the end result is that Mastodon’s post privacy isn’t really all that useful, nor is it really all that private. So, right now ActivityPub is the darling of the fediverse, but I’m hoping that the current push toward AutoAuth and trying to use it as a basis for private webmentions and the obvious next steps of private feeds and private WebSub will change that. I do worry that IndieAuth/AutoAuth are kind of hard to do in piecemeal ways though (well, okay, IndieAuth becomes really easy using IndieLogin but I don’t want to see a single endpoint become what everyone on the Internet relies on). And of course once you get into an integration between auth stuff and content stuff you also need to worry a lot more about content management and how it integrates, as well as this seeming fundamentally incompatible with static site generation. At the Summit there was definitely a lot of compromise that people were doing, such as using Javascript libraries to introduce externally-hosted dynamic IndieWeb stuff onto statically generated pages. I think in this world where SSGs can be supplemented with third-party endpoints that use client-side JavaScript there could be a world where some level of privacy can happen via clever use of client-side includes of data at non-public unguessable URLs. (Although the ideal solution for that is to use the third-party APIs to generate webhooks that then trigger a file change → git commit → commit hook → build/redeploy.) Non-public unguessable URLs aren’t great for privacy in general (and I mean, Publ has had ā€œprivacy through obscurityā€ since day one and there’s several reasons why I rarely use it anyway) but it’s at least better than nothing.

My favorite part of the @IndieWebSummit was meeting so many wonderful people! I felt comfortable sharing my ideas and being my silly self. I learned so much and feel inspired to get more involved. Thanks @indiewebcamp for bringing us all together. šŸ‘šŸ¼šŸ’•

@atmlutter It was great meeting you this weekend! I didn't realize until last night that you were from Toronto. Maybe you and @jackjamieson could start up a Toronto #indieweb meetup? :)

Pac-Man is eating houses in Montana.

I'm told this is a canola field. Taken as I was flying in to Kalispell.

I just came across this webpage that tries to compare the "customer experience" of git, bazaar, and salesforce for some reason, and I feel like I'm having a stroke comparisons.financesonline.com/git-vs-bazaar

If I get good news, I’mma talk about. If I get bad news, I’mma journal it. Slightly working on posting more positivity. Balance!

See you later, Portland! It was a blast hanging out with friends old and new at the IndieWeb Summit. I’m hoping to write a recap on my flight! Thanks Delta for the upgrade šŸ˜
