What I Want From The Internet - Christopher Butler

You can, today, still go back to the can-to-can structure that a personal website, an RSS feed, and a browser provide. It’s not perfect. It leaves an enormous amount of signal unheard. It requires more work to find things, and to be found.

But you can do it. And I hope you do, in some way.

😅 PSA: If you started getting #Indieweb #webmentions from my blog all at once just now, I apologize: I was tinkering with #Bridgy. Sorry!

I’m on quite a blogging roll since I started using Jekyll how it was intended – i.e. for publishing articles sans comments, webmentions etc. I seem to have settled on the 3-500 word post, which is an inbetween sort of length. Consequently, I’m posting more posts than notes 🤔

I’ve got an idea for a book as well.

Eu intencionava dar uma estudada em #webmentions, mas vi um post recente de um cara com site pessoal falando que praticamente só recebia spam e que estava desativando webmentions no site dele².

Vocês têm alguma experiência com isso? Gostam? Desgostam?

Honestly I think Mastodon should remove the DM feature from the UI given the nature of the AP protocol. Even if you encrypt the message contents it is still always going to be public information that you sent something and who you sent it to, given how ActivityPub works so given the reasonable expectation of privacy that comes with a feature like DMs, which AP just can't do, remove the feature from the interface so people know to use something else for private communication.

I am confused why I got questions like "What are your weaknesses?". How about your company tell their weaknesses first? This way both of us realize that nobody is perfect.

I wrote a blog post about my opinions on the hiring process that I experienced.

There’s a new beta out for Micro.blog 3.0. This adds the last big missing feature: posting to external blogs like WordPress. It should work with blogs that support the MetaWeblog or Micropub APIs.

UK / London #IndieWeb folks, and others interested in having their own personal website, who'd be interested in reviving an in-person 2hr meetup this summer?

Weekday
Weekend
No, uncomfortable with in-person meetings
No, other reasons...

PS. I would LOVE to have a session introducing federated social media and exploring what this means for the practices of community building and marketing in open source.

Is that something you could speak to?

Please put a proposal in for #FOSSY's Community: Open Source in Practice track!

Happy to be a sounding board if you have questions or ideas.

#OpenSource #IndieWeb #Fediverse

I’m excited to announce: Summer of blogging! For new folks signing up on Micro.blog, hosting is only $1/month for the summer. Full blog, photos, themes, ActivityPub, Bluesky cross-posting, and more. It’s a great time to start a blog at your own domain.

I've made some layout changes to my website: https://pbarker.dev/.

I've moved the site intro and social links over to the left side of the main page to make more space for posts. I've shortened the footer and moved info about the site to a dedicated page. I've made it easier to get to the RSS/ATOM feeds, tags list and archives.

I've also added a newsletter link which takes you to Buttondown where you can subscribe to get my posts by email: https://buttondown.email/pbarker/.

And lastly, each post now has a "Thanks for reading!" box at the end of the page which I'll be expanding with some more info and links soon.

My next plan in terms of site layout is to upgrade to Bootstrap v5.3 once it's out as it gives improved support for switching between dark & light modes (https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/customize/color-modes/).

You can also expect a post celebrating my 10 years of contribution to OpenEmbedded & Yocto Project to go live soon. But first, I need to do some real work...

#IndieWeb #Blog #Blogging

I think I’m in need of some #IndieWeb help. 🥴

So, in classic IndieWeb fashion, I want my website to be my hub on the internet.

But I’ve been looking into all the different standards (#Webmentions, #Micropub, #ActivityPub, etc.) but I'm not sure which one or which combination of them is best for my needs.

So I thought I might reach out on here with what I'm trying to do and see what people thought were some go ways to go about it.

Oh hey, my plugins weren't the cause of errors on my #IndieWeb #Known blog when updating the PHP version.

I don't really have a clue at the moment.

Sigh.

There's not enough time in the day to be a slave to capitalism and do things you enjoy.

I'll have to pick @ben or maybe @KevinMarks brains when the great economy gives me time.
