new blog post! šŸ§‘ā€šŸ’»

this one is a little til on running python, via cron, in a docker container, on a raspberry pi (and all the associated headaches)

This might be the most important blog post I ever wrote. It's been a while since I wanted to publish some sort of personal manifesto on my site.

After I stopped promoting myself as if I were a brand, I needed to put my foot down and declare what I stand for, on the only place that's not going away: my personal website.

So, here it is. A personal manifesto, where I touch on these topics:

#MentalHealth
#Sustainability
#Technology
#SmallWeb
#IndieWeb
#SocialMedia

https://minutestomidnight.co.uk/blog/personal-manifesto/

10 years ago today the first #federated #IndieWeb comment thread was published and collected peer-to-peer IndieWeb replies across websites without any intermediary, silo or otherwise¹.

2013-04-19 @eschnou.com posted a brief note on his personal site with #atMentions of a few domains (putting an '@' sign immediately before a domain name to indicate an explicit cross-web @-mention), which itself was also a first²

Ā "Testing #indieweb federation with @waterpigs.co.uk, @aaronparecki.com and @indiewebcamp.com !"

When @aaronpk.com was notified and replied from his site within minutes³, it became the first peer-to-peer federated IndieWeb comment thread, at the time using h-entry and Pingback. I blogged about it a few days later⁓.

Earlier this year I blogged more observations of all the user interactions that happened on that day and shortly thereafter to make this all work: https://tantek.com/2023/014/t4/domain-first-federated-atmention

Unfortunately Laurent Eschnou’s original post is no longer up, and we only have the Internet Archive copy. However most of the IndieWeb reply posts are still up including Barnaby’s: https://waterpigs.co.uk/notes/1334/

The oldest still working federated post and comment thread was second overall, unsurprisingly from @aaronparecki.com⁵, a whole 40 days after Laurent’s first.

This is day 37 of #100DaysOfIndieWeb. #100Days #OpenWeb #federation #fediverse

Your personal website can be your fediverse address², each providing seamless discovery for the other.

As web developers we should be building & developing our personal sites to exemplify the latest & greatest of such practices, including using Mastodon/ActivityPub as yet another distribution mechanism (ala POSSE) for your existing personal websites rather than a separate profile/stream.

Discussed this with @nebu@mastodon.social and @kadirtopal@mastodon.social just after the last talk @beyondtellerrand.com (@btconf@mastodon.social @btconf) yesterday, fitting conference closing thoughts complementing the heartfelt opening talk by @localghost.dev (https://sophie.omg.lol/ @sophie@social.lol)³.

Is there a #fediverse variant that has implemented threads well?

I think this might be an underestimated feature. There's a cadence that the threaded microblog post created that is kind of a new mode of communication - even a new kind of format for thinking.

It's this format that allows us to share the hook of a thought, then unpack it. It facilitates collaboration on early ideas - including testing the soundness of those ideas.

šŸ“¢ Webmention Support in Enhance Blog Template

Our next step towards making it easier for folks to participate in the open and indie web is adding support for incoming and outgoing webmentions to the Enhance blog template.

#IndieWeb #btconf #fediverse

We finished #btconf last night talking about the discoverability of personal websites with @sophie and @nickautomatic.

It turns out it's hard to be read, even if you have captivating and original content.

Reply to this post with your personal url and I'll link you on my website, https://fredrocha.net. Bonus points if you have an RSS feed link.

Let's start a @btconf webring!

Back at Beyond Tellerand (@btconf@mastodon.social @btconf) and delighted to see the opening talk by Sophie Koonin (https://localghost.dev/ https://sophie.omg.lol/ @sophie@social.lol)

ā€œThis Website Is under Construction – a Love Letter to the Personal Websiteā€

See Sophie’s related post on ā€œBuilding a website like it's 1999... in 2022ā€ (https://localghost.dev/blog/building-a-website-like-it-s-1999-in-2022/)

Hoping that some day someone in the #cryptography community takes notice of my Apis Cipher. I know it's not "cryptographically secure", but I do believe it's novel and not without its merits. That said, my #crypto math skills aren't the strongest, so maybe I'm wrong. I would love to see, though, a thorough break down of where it's strong and where it's not.

I mean Joomla (and especially it’s UI) gives me the creeps but good to know I guess.

Quantifying content moderation effectiveness.

Moderation Interval: The time between when a post that needs to moderated is posted and when it is moderated in seconds.

Moderation Score: The average moderation intervals over a period of time.

Ā 

ExamplesSingle Post

Something is posted that needs to be removed.
Post is removed after 60 minutes.
Moderation interval is 3600.

Daily (Weekly, Monthly, and Yearly) Score

5 posts need to be removed in one day.
Posts are removed after 5, 15, 30, 60, and 120 minutes respectively.
Daily moderation score is 2760.

0 Moderation Score

It is technically possible to have 0 (perfect) moderation score because posts are sometimes pre-emptively removed by automatic filters.

Issues

Content is sometimes wrongly removed
Doesn’t account for how much content is viewed before removal

For example, a post that is removed in 10 minutes but seen 100 times has a lower moderation interval (600) than a post that is removed after 5 minutes but is seen 1000 times (300).
