P&B: Ana Rodrigues – Manu

This makes feel all warm and fuzzy:

At the time, I was disheartened by the tech industry and terrified of doing a tech post. I thought those things were for everyone else but me.

Only at the end of 2017 did something shift inside me, thanks to Jeremy Keith’s talk at the ViewSource conference. I discovered the IndieWeb community, and with that came the reassurance that my “nicheless” blog was absolutely okay.

Thanks to that feeling of acceptance, from 2018 onwards, my confidence really picked up, and I was blogging frequently, including web development things!

Well said. The future is looking brighter for the #indieweb.

@atpfm good episode. On the topic of “life streams,” there are some people like me in the #IndieWeb community that use our websites for this purpose. I record every podcast I listen to on @overcastfm automatically. Every show and movie through Trakt. Every significant place I go with Swarm. My location in realtime using Overland (https://overland.p3k.app), and more.

I'm not convinced on the idea of POSSE, at least for stuff like this little micro post. I get it for other stuff but, to me, this (ie: Mastodon, Twitter, etc.) should be ephemeral. Realize not everyone agrees on this. I'm good with that.

My WordPress debugging - Thinking out loud...

I have 2 #WordPress blogs on subdomains WWW & AMF (see profile) almost identical in structure (95%).
Been testing a lot around #ActivityPub and #IndieWeb: new plugins, new interactions... And:
- AMF runs smoothly.
- WWW (older) has a few hiccups...

Been trying to test/debug/troubleshoot for some time now, removing all plugins etc.
Had to change theme (from 2020 to 2023) and that solved a few things (AMF uses 2020, WWW is now on 2023).

#Wordpress is joining the #Fediverse, making it possible for people to follow Wordpress blogs right from your Fediverse accounts. But what if you have static-site generator based #blog? Use the excellent (and free) Bridgy Fed service https://fed.brid.gy by @snarfed! For example, you can follow my blog at @abhinavsarkar.net@abhinavsarkar.net, made available on fediverse using Bridgy Fed. #indieweb

Last summer I did a complete rewrite of my website* and one thing I really like about it is I can now write blog posts and build them into a GitHub PR way in advance and then I can publish them from my phone by merging the PR.

* I wrote about it here https://hamatti.org/posts/website-rewrite-and-switching-to-notion-as-cms/

It’s fun doing “reposts” from your actual site.

Had to still manually add a Repost block, though, and tweak—as in: clear—the remote page’s title. Takes … more than a click.

Looks okay on the blog, great in my feed reader, and pretty cool on Mastodon, too.

And parsed #microformats look correct: https://xray.p3k.io/parse?url=https%3A%2F%2Fjan.boddez.net%2Fnotes%2F004a3bd657&pretty=true

The trick is nesting the `.e-content` inside the `.h-cite.u-repost-of`.

I use #gutenberg’s `InnerBlocks` to do so. #WordPress

Toying with the idea of having my website layout based on text art. The base will be actual text in a pre tag, and then the actual contents of the page would be in an iframe. Thoughts?

"Open source, community-owned software [...] offers a remedy to the deep rooted issues of opaqueness and stakeholder imbalance in closed-source software, but it is not innately cozy. That is an added quality resulting from an intentional design towards that specific end."

i follow a ton of blogs via my RSS reader, but i noticed that most of those blogs are written by (a) men and (b) from Western countries, mostly the US and UK.

now i'm looking for more diverse blogs i can add to my RSS reader.

i'm mainly interested in technology, the web, design, literature (especially sci-fi, fantasy, and horror), video games, and music. but i'd be happy to follow anything that's well-written and interesting.

any suggestions, Fediverse?

Engage a Wider Audience With ActivityPub on WordPress.com

Great to see WordPress.com’s support for ActivityPub. Following WordPress blogs from Micro.blog looks good, although @-mentioning Micro.blog from within WordPress isn’t working for me. I’ve been testing and reviewing the code, will make any tweaks I can so everything is compatible.
