Which reminds me, I need to sort out Grumble and Divebar to send my #indieweb RSVP webmentions. https://jj.isgeek.net/2024/03/28-104359/

Been a while since I was able to join the #indieweb #hwc. It was fun as always! https://jj.isgeek.net/2024/03/28-104231/

Zuck: we're launching an interoperable ecosystem called #Metaverse
#Fediverse: oh hey twinsies

Zuck: we launched a text based app connected to #ActivityPub
#Mastodon: yay we do that

Zuck: we believe in openness now
#IndieWeb: neato! We won!

Zuck: *face melts to expose a steel exoskeleton* WE COPY THE FLAGSHIP FEATURES OF SMALL APPS SO THAT THOSE APPS DIE THIS HAS BEEN OUR ENTIRE BUSINESS MODEL FOR TEN YEARS

Guy who invented the at sign: fascinating. A victory for open source

**New Blog Post:** Memories of an empty city

I live in downtown Osaka, which used to mean waking up or being kept up by very drunk, full-grown adults yelling, laughing hysterically, screaming, or *fighting* late at night. I eventually had to get earplugs, which were somewhat effective. Well…this all stopped after Covid hit. 😬

Share Openly

I am continually impressed by my colleagues, friends, and acquaintances that make their own websites, whether it's design, dev, strategy, or somehow manage the entire task on their own. Regardless, get out there and make a site for yourself. Reach out for help if you need it.

I'm collecting a bunch that have recently emerged or recently found, but until I collect them up for posting, here's one to start with:

How Cambridge Analytica Exploited the Facebook Data of Millions | NYT 2018:

> In 2014, you may've taken a quiz online. Something that looks like this. And if you did, you probably shared your personal data and friends' personal data.

@ILoveNumAn I indeed have. Since you also mentioned missing flash games, I recommend checking out @waxy . He mainly shares techy articles, but also quirky browser games and weird little #indieweb projects.

It's official! I'm now a proud participant in the IndieWeb! :pensive_party_blob:

Microformats, webmentions, feed, automatic backfeed from Mastodon... the whole package!

I just wished for clearer documentation.. figuring out how to interconnect the various pieces was quite a nightmare, but very simple once understood.

One downside of using "test" servers for a long time: I need to decide what to keep -- and how -- when I shut them down, because I don't want to keep running extra copies of publicly-visible internet-facing software.

A lot of it I'm happy to just let disappear! (I can probably script deleting everything -- or almost everything -- for Snac2, since it has good CLI support. Not sure about the GoToSocial one.)

But I'll want to move some posts to my website, like I've done (and am still working through!) with posts at Mastodon, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Reddit, Instagram, Google Plus, all the way back to LiveJournal.

Now, unlike those silos, as long as I keep the domain name, I can redirect the web views of those posts using a simple nginx config or apache .htaccess file.

But what about the Fediverse view of those posts?

- I could just delete them, since they'll already be on my website.
- I could not delete them, but still shut down the server, and let the ActivityPub objects live on in whichever servers have them cached. If I boost them into my new account/server, they should stick around indefinitely.
- I could delete them and import them to the new account, breaking the original interactions but keeping them functional for new interactions.
- I could save the JSON objects and serve them statically from the original hostnames, alongside the redirects for the HTML views. I think this should preserve existing boosts/likes/replies, and I can edit them first to point to the new account, then create the archive using something like this approach:

I don't know, I'm probably just overthinking it!
