What if you spend all this time documenting your hydroponics system and nobody comes? But fear not: I'm very happy to hear about the first copy of what I built!

There’s a great feature of having a live conference that people can attend! But it’s extremely difficult to do properly especially when people are ten hours away. I wonder if we, in the IndieWeb, can take this opportunity to distribute this. There’s probably prior art on this - I haven’t seen it yet.

The idea is to have people pre-record talks and information to be about 4 - 5 hours worth, total. Then we can have a live streaming server play this playlist on loop about 6 times so (ideally) everyone can see them as if they were watching it for the first time. After the loop is done for about 6 times, we could then make individual video pages, similar to how conferences publish videos after a talk.

What does the community think? I’m hoping this would reduce the pressure to agree/find on a time and distributes it out for people. We’d need people in at least 4 different zones to help make sure that the videos are looping correctly (but that shouldn’t be too hard). I think TwiT does a good job of this.

One of my favorite passages from Madeline Miller’s Circe: Odysseus describing the the birth of Telemachus and how he cried all that first day. Happy Father’s Day to all the fellow dads out there, and I hope you and yours have gotten some sleep.

Byaahh! It’s eternal Caturday!!!!

Oregon’s history is horrid. Know it:

Opinion: IT Companies and organisations that don't go remote-first, and instead insist on on-prem for staff, will find it impossible to hire talent post lockdown.

I call my ballet career “a Trump rally” because I too had disappointing turnout

Something I think about a lot is how to prevent people from messing with the IndieWeb. It hasn’t been a huge concern as of yet because thankfully we can trust everyone in the community so far. But if we were to go 10x in size right now, how do we stop people from posting something, editing it and making it seem as if the original post changed? We give people a lot of trust into the content they publish.

I know any solution towards this would have to be backwards-compatible with how we do things now and shouldn’t impede progress but I do think that I’ll be working very hard on making this a required function for my readers. And I think I have an idea for one (as well as a way to make this work for everyone without causing too much headache - it’s a bit like DKIM but with less moving parts).
