Great news - my frontend can do the onboarding procedure! It successfully uploads my h-card and posts a “first post” to the blog, so it won’t be empty.

For now I didn’t do authentication yet. I’m still thinking if I should do password+TOTP auth, just a password or a WebAuthn. Or maybe I could just use indieauth.com directly, but that needs at least one social profile in the h-card, which is not guaranteed right now.

I like https://unicyclic.com/indieweb/‘s implementation of web-actions. @mblaney is that webaction configuration widget open-source?

Made it on time to #NPSF yesterday(1), first time in weeks (months?). And to yoga this morning, or so I thought, actually 30 min early(2).

I knew the past 3 months would be intense, my time was blocked out for work(+travel+organizing+speaking) & ultra training (https://tantek.com/t53e1), and nothing else. Tiring time zone changes and long trail runs meant choosing sleep, missing some NPSF workouts, or being late. IndieWebCamp SF 12/7-8 was my last commitment of 3 months, and I barely had the energy for it after actively observing the TC39 standards meetings that week before. I had no reserve for setbacks (like my water heater breaking the night before I hosted Thanksgiving for family). Such packed time & focus seemingly invited an unexpected & intense arc of joy, a story for another time.

Still making sense of that night after IndieWebCamp SF, despite managing to bake my first blueberry pie (https://tantek.com/t5451). Recovery since has been hard, both from being drained, and from needing to reflect on what I could have done better, to be sustainably better, instead of a crash & burn of sorts. A better friend, healer, and lover, in that order.

For now I’m rebuilding, and small temporal victories are one sign of progress.

Setting up a Staging Server for my Micropub Endpoint

Setting up a Micropub server that I can use to test changes before it publishes content to this site.

Now I have a Micropub client. Maybe it’s time for Microsub? I’m not sure because Android’s way of dealing with dynamic lists of objects on screen is intimidating.

1 month ago today: Victory Column en route to @IndieWebCamp #Berlin.
Our second #IndieWebCamp @MozillaBerlin this year, we had amazing participants(2,3), hosted an @OptOutSocial hackathon, and a keynote by founder Teresa(4 📷 @cheukting_ho)!

About a dozen sessions with notes and some with session videos linked from the schedule: https://indieweb.org/2019/Berlin2/Schedule

Last but not least, great working with co-organizers Yulia (@ioctaptceb), @RosemaryOrchard, and @DShanske to put it all together and discuss community at the Organizers meetup the day before the camp(5).

The Accidental Side Project ◆ 24 ways

This gets me right in the feels.

I can’t believe I was lucky enough to contribute to 24 Ways seven times over its fifteen year lifespan!

I'm going!

Looking forward to my fourth IndieWeb Summit! Join us in Portland, OR to learn, play, and use the web your own way!

@jackyalcine how secure do you think is Koype’s #IndieAuth via TOTP? what are the implementation details, what’s your threat model?

I’m building an auth endpoint and thinking what to use… Don’t worry I won’t hack you (for now 😉) #security

How many of you #IndieWeb people have your own sites as your homepages? I’ve set mine as a new tab.

Actually planning to have a React-based dashboard with an inbuilt indieweb reader and stuff

The modern web is becoming an unusable, user-hostile wasteland

The future of the web, isn't the web

Why not use it as a syndication target though instead of having an “add an event” UI? Do we not trust our own blogs to handle the markup correctly? :3 #ownyourdata #ownyourevents #IndieWeb #microformats2

This Page is Designed to Last: A Manifesto for Preserving Content on the Web

Geocities, LiveJournal, what.cd, now Yahoo Groups. One day, Medium, Twitter, and even hosting services like GitHub Pages will be plundered then discarded when they can no longer grow or cannot find a working business model.

Considering the needs of someone who wants to make and maintain a website, without the ridiculous complexity of “modern” web tooling:

How do we make web content that can last and be maintained for at least 10 years? As someone studying human-computer interaction, I naturally think of the stakeholders we aren’t supporting. Right now putting up web content is optimized for either the professional web developer (who use the latest frameworks and workflows) or the non-tech savvy user (who use a platform).
