A new table of contents, lots of writing, and new fonts were added to the website this week. I also started a forum for me and my friends. Do I spend too much time online?

Updating my site to @craftcms 5 also means that I’ll have to update the three plugins I wrote for Craft 2. I had already started rewriting the #Webmention plugin, but didn’t finish it. So instead of waiting until I remove this blocker (= forever), I'll now increase the pressure a bit by killing Webmentions on my site completely with this CMS update. 🥺 If I want to have Webmentions back on my site, I better finish rewriting the plugin soon… 😅

"text": "I thought it would be fun to revisit\u00a0Known, the open source publishing platform that powers my site.How it worksKnown allows a team or community to publish news on any topic to a single, searchable stream of content that\u2019s easily accessible from any device. It is not a full CMS, and nor is it designed for independent publishers to sell subscriptions; instead, it\u2019s optimized for publishing to a single feed.\n\nEvery Known site is a single feed of content that any number of users can publish to. You can have one user, as my site does; you could have thousands, if you wanted.\n\nThe stream can also be filtered by hashtag, author, or content type \u2014 so you can choose to only view content on a certain topic, or only photos, or some combination thereof.\n\nEach stream, filtered or not, is shown as a standard web page by default. These can be themed, but it\u2019s also easy to view different interfaces. RSS and JSON are available for every screen you can view as a web page, and it would be easy to add low bandwidth HTML, for example. (I once added an interface type that displayed everything as a Star Wars crawl. It got old fast.)\n\n\n\nWhen you log in, you get a little menu bar that lets you publish different kinds of content. It\u2019s a little bit like Tumblr\u2019s bar, but here, every type of content is powered by a plugin. You can download new content types created by other people, or you can write your own. On my site I\u2019ve created a kind of blog post called an \u201caside\u201d, which I\u2019ve decided to make a distinct content type.\n\nHit the button, and you can compose right on the page.\n\n\n\nKnown supports an idea called POSSE: Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. You can elect to syndicate a post to a third-party site by enabling the toggle for that site below the compose window. In this illustration I have two example webhooks, but people have written plugins for Mastodon, etc. (In the beginning, Known had plugins for Twitter, Facebook, and so on, but all those APIs locked down over time. The promo image, which you can see above, includes Foursquare and Flickr as options, which is a clue about the era it originated from.)\n\nYou can also compose using any application that supports the Micropub standard. I tend to write all my blog posts in iA Writer.\n\nKnown supports Webmention, so when you publish a post that links to a site, that site will be notified. You can even use webmention to respond to someone else\u2019s post elsewhere and have a conversation across the web.\n\nIt\u2019s free and open source, and intentionally runs on the same LAMP stack as WordPress. Be warned though; as the screenshots suggest, it\u2019s now a little old.A little historyKnown was originally called Idno. (\u201cWhat does it stand for?\u201d someone once asked me. \u201cI d\u2019no,\u201d I replied. This is the level of humor you can generally expect from me.)\n\nI wrote the first version of it when my mother was recovering from a double lung transplant: she was in need of community but absolutely didn\u2019t want to discuss her condition on Facebook. I\u2019d previously written Elgg, an older open source social networking platform, so I decided to think about what a social community platform might look like in the era of the mobile, ubiquitous web. What would it look like for a community to publish to a place where it could continue to own its own content, on its own domain? (It seems like a quaint exploration now, but remember that this was 2013.)\n\nI became friends with the indieweb folks, and met Erin Richey at an IndieWebCamp. We decided to collaborate on the project. It was her idea to submit it to Matter, where we took part in the third accelerator class. Along the way, we did some focus group testing (Erin\u2019s instigation) and chose Known as a permanent name.\n\n\n\nIt was a startup for a couple of years; there was a paid, hosted version; a Known-powered site even won an award for KQED. But it wasn\u2019t the kind of thing that excited investors, and we weren\u2019t making enough money for it to be sustainable. Ultimately, I allowed myself to be acquihired by Medium, which allowed us to pay Matter back, and we both settled into new jobs. The day before my first Medium paycheck, I spent my last five dollars on gas. (Erin and I welcomed our actual child \u2014 a human one \u2014 two years ago. So there\u2019s a coda.)\n\nBut there are still users out there, myself included, and the open source project is still alive. It\u2019s been slower over the last few years, because I haven\u2019t had much time to devote to it. (The main thing I\u2019ve been looking at is a command line exporter to allow people to more easily take their content into WordPress, as well as some experiments with ActivityPub.) But it remains a core part of the operating system that powers my identity online, and the identity of others.\n\nLately I\u2019ve been thinking that there\u2019s a place for this model of publishing. The internal architecture needs to be overhauled; the Bootstrap-driven default template needs to go; but I think there\u2019s really something to the model of letting communities publish to a simple, queryable feed of content that syndicates out to the world.\n\nPerhaps it\u2019s finally time for Known 2, with an easy upgrade path from the original? If you\u2019re intrigued by the idea \u2014 or if you\u2019re a Known user \u2014 I\u2019d love to hear your thoughts.",

You should setup Search Shortcuts in #Firefox, they have sped up my web browsing experience considerably.
James (@jamesg.blog) wrote up a great summary of how to do so and his experience:
* https://jamesg.blog/2024/10/13/search-engine-shortcuts-firefox/
I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine, so here are the Search Shortcuts I have setup when I want to explicitly search/lookup something elsewhere, roughly ordered by my perceived frequency of use:
i - IndieWeb - https://indieweb.org/
w - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
g - Google - https://google.com/
d - MDN Web Docs - https://developer.mozilla.org/
m - Google Maps — https://maps.google.com/
b - Bing - https://bing.com/
a - Amazon - https://amazon.com/
x - Twitter - https://twitter.com/search
If you don’t see one of these search engines in your Firefox Settings: Search Shortcuts, you can visit its URL above and then follow the instructions in James’s blog post to add it to your browser’s list of search engines. Once added there, it will show up in the Search Shortcuts table and you can double-click it and add a one-letter (or more) shortcut as you wish!
What Search Shortcuts have you setup in your browser?

No I did not block you on the #fediverse / #Mastodon / #Misskey etc.
If you were following me @tantek.com on your client/server/instance of choice but noticed you were no longer doing so, that was due to a recent software bug in my fediverse provider which accidentally caused everyone’s #ActivityPub servers to unfollow me (bug details below).
No it’s absolutely not your fault, you did nothing wrong.
We need a variant of Hanlon’s Razor¹ like:
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by a software bug.”
Take another look at my posts if you want (directly on @tantek.com or try searching for that on your instance) and if you like what you see or find them otherwise informative and useful, feel free to refollow. If not, no worries!
Also no worries if you ever unfollow/refollow for any reason. I mean that.
I always assume people know best how to manage their online reader/reading experiences, everyone’s priorities and likes/dislikes change over time, and encourage everyone to make choices that are best for their mental health and overall joy online.
Bug details:
This was due to a #BridgyFed bug² that deleted my profile (“ActivityPub actor”) from (nearly?) all instances, making everyone’s accounts automatically unfollow me, as well as remove any of my posts from your likes and reposts (boosts) collections. It also removed my posts from any of your replies to my posts, leaving your replies dangling without reply-contexts. Apologies!
The bug was introduced accidentally as part of another fix about a month ago³, and was triggered within the following week⁴.
Anyone following me before ~2024-09-22 was no longer following me. A few folks have noticed and refollowed. Any likes or reposts of my posts before that date were also undone (removed).
Ryan (@snarfed.org) has been really good about giving folks a heads-up, and apologizing, and quickly doing what he can to fix things.
Bugs happen, yes even in production code, so please do not post/send any hate.
I’d rather be one of the folks helping with improving BridgyFed, and temporary setbacks like this are part of being an early / eager #IndieWeb adopter.
This bug has also revealed some potential weaknesses in other ActivityPub implementations. E.g. deleting an “actor” should be undoable, and undoing a delete should reconnect everything, from follows to likes & reposts collections, to reply-contexts. Perhaps the ActivityPub specification could be updated with such guidance (if it hasn’t been already, I need to double-check).
To be clear, I’m still a big supporter of #BridgyFed, #ActivityPub, #Webmention, and everyone who chooses to implement these and other #IndieWeb related and adjacent protocols as best fits their products and services.
All of these are a part of our broader open #socialWeb, and making all these #openStandards work well together (including handling edge-cases and mistakes!) is essential for providing #socialMedia alternatives that put users first.

When I first dipped my toes into the then shallow pond of weblogging my first (and very temporary) blog was build on the Manilla blogging platform by Dave's company, UserLand Software. And soon after that I discovered RSS. I fell in love with both ideas. I can truly say that Dave Winer got me starting blogging. I am happy that I continued with the project and that many others have joined in (although many dropped out along the way).
So Dave was present at the creation of some cool stuff, but it was blogging that brought him to a wider public. “Some people were born to play country music,” he wrote at one stage. “I was born to blog. At the beginning of blogging I thought everyone would be a blogger. I was wrong. Most people don’t have the impulse to say what they think.” Dave was the exact opposite. He was (and remains) articulate and forthright. His formidable record as a tech innovator meant that he couldn’t be written off as a crank. The fact that he was financially secure meant that he didn’t have to suck up to anyone: he could speak his mind. And he did. So from the moment he launched Scripting News in October 1994 he was a distinctive presence on the web.
Like many of us, he realised that what came to be known as the blogosphere could be a modern realisation of Jürgen Habermas’s idea of “the public sphere” because it was open to all, everything was discussable and social rank didn’t determine who was allowed to speak. But what he – and we – underestimated was the speed and comprehensiveness that tech corporations such as Google and Facebook would enclose that public sphere with their own walled gardens in which “free speech” could be algorithmically curated while the speakers were intensively surveilled and their data mined for advertising purposes. - The blogosphere is in full bloom. The rest of the internet has wilted by John Naughton.

The jumbo squid population in the Gulf of California has plummeted, causing sperm whales to leave the area. Environmental changes, including warming seas, are likely responsible for these shifts, with potential ripple effects on the region’s marine ecosystem. · The jumbo squid population has crashed in the Gulf of California – and the consequences could be huge, say expert
John Gruber responds to a piece by Kevin Roose about iOS 18’s new contact-sharing controls, claiming they’re controversial. Apple now lets users select specific contacts to share, instead of their whole address book. Roose argues this hurts social app growth, but I agree with Gruber that this seems long overdue. Gruber thinks John Nick Heer’s response captures his thoughts perfectly. Mine too.
Consider the Plight of the VC-Backed Privacy Burglars
Earlier this week, Panic Software announced that Transmit will lose Google Drive support due to Google’s expensive and time-consuming security review process. Although this decision was tough and debated, they decided it was not worth the ongoing costs. Panic will instead focus on other features. They’re hopeful Google revises its policies someday.

I read about the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) potentially reaching a tipping point, which could trigger dramatic climate shifts by 2050. The AMOC moves heat across the Atlantic, influencing global weather patterns. If it weakens further, the northern hemisphere could cool, and global climate belts might shift, causing chaotic weather, flooding, and droughts. Scientists estimate a 42–76% chance of collapse in the next few decades. This concerns me deeply, particularly for the Eastern Caribbean islands where I grew up. We’re already vulnerable to hurricanes and sea-level rise—how much worse will it get if the AMOC destabilises? It’s unsettling to think that the fate of those island countries could depend on the urgent need to curb global warming created by wealthy Western Countries.

"text": "When I first dipped my toes into the then shallow pond of weblogging my first (and very temporary) blog was build on the Manilla blogging platform by Dave's company, UserLand Software. And soon after that I discovered RSS. I fell in love with both ideas. I can truly say that Dave Winer got me starting blogging. I am happy that I continued with the project and that many others have joined in (although many dropped out along the way). So Dave was present at the creation of some cool stuff, but it was blogging that brought him to a wider public. \u201cSome people were born to play country music,\u201d he wrote at one stage. \u201cI was born to blog. At the beginning of blogging I thought everyone would be a blogger. I was wrong. Most people don\u2019t have the impulse to say what they think.\u201d Dave was the exact opposite. He was (and remains) articulate and forthright. His formidable record as a tech innovator meant that he couldn\u2019t be written off as a crank. The fact that he was financially secure meant that he didn\u2019t have to suck up to anyone: he could speak his mind. And he did. So from the moment he launched Scripting News in October 1994 he was a distinctive presence on the web.\n\n Like many of us, he realised that what came to be known as the blogosphere could be a modern realisation of J\u00fcrgen Habermas\u2019s idea of \u201cthe public sphere\u201d because it was open to all, everything was discussable and social rank didn\u2019t determine who was allowed to speak. But what he \u2013 and we \u2013 underestimated was the speed and comprehensiveness that tech corporations such as Google and Facebook would enclose that public sphere with their own walled gardens in which \u201cfree speech\u201d could be algorithmically curated while the speakers were intensively surveilled and their data mined for advertising purposes. - The blogosphere is in full bloom.
