This explains why all these years ago when #indieweb crossed my radar, POSSE didn't feel quite right – and still doesn't https://notebook.wesleyac.com/indieweb-thoughts-posse/
I need to be able to "live online" in different spaces, and collect it back to my blog, if I want.

trying to find how to follow directly an http://Snarfed.org #indieweb via https://fed.brid.gy from #Mastodon , no success

a small companion piece in addition to my contribution to this month's indieweb carnival theme, second person birds, hosted by @fractalkitty. a perspective: gatherings at the end of a day of mysteries and joys.

💾 When you can do anything, you’ll want to do everything. In dev, that’s the fastest way to wreck your own creation.

my home server https://aus.social has been inaccessible and returned 502 error for whole evening \ many hours.
I have not seen any 24h upfront notifications about scheduled maintenance. I have not seen a "server on maintenance" page. This left me wonder.
No one advertised here an "X/twitter or other status/downtime/uptime page of a server" .
There is no https://status.aus.social or aus.social/status
Whole situation has been made weirder by https://isup.me which checks for downtime, and "thinks" 502 is normal return code page, marks site as working fine.
So, what exactly happened & what was that maintenance, in technical details?
Is aus.social hosted on single server hardware/vps, because if there was a second server for load balancing - there probably wouldn't be such issue.
Should we expect this situation to repeat?
What is recomended official status page\downtime checker? (that is not hosted on this server and will be accessible in case of downtime)
There is no known contact form with Admin, like IRC\XMPP, outside of Fediverse.
Is server maintained by single person or team or public organisation ?
Also, if it's single person, WHO IS exactly the Admin ?
because this server is advertised and suggested as trusted and reliable on joinmastodon.org , that supposed to communicate to users upfront on any issues.
Also, if you are not on aus.social, but anywhere on fediverse, this is example of how this #fediverse #activitypub is still centralized around single points of failures like DNS, central servers. So my few suggestions to you as user (outside of this issue): Bring your own Server. #Selfhost. You can selfhost static pages for free with #indieweb & activitypub support. Add #hyphanet #scuttlebutt #zeronet keyoxide keybase.io PGP GPG blockchains etherium #p2p #ipfs OrbitDB tox bitmessage jami briar Namecoin http://pubky.tech http://keychat.io to your stack.

Autonomy, independence, federation, WordPress and concrete



I have had to make some behind-the-scenes changes to this website. In the process, I am planning to make it more interoperable with the fediverse and indieweb standards — and I am sticking with WordPress.

About

 

Thinking of various tech and design trends in terms of a post about nostalgia cycles I wrote a decade ago. (yeah, I know...)

  • 10 years later everything is out of fashion.
  • 20 years later everything's back.
  • 30 years later you have a sense of what to keep and what to toss.

This is why browser sidebars and transparent desktop themes are back after 20 years, and why some of us are stubbornly trying to rebuild the personal web of the 1990s.

Even though my work on @abelio has become a bit stale recently, I'm considering moving it to @hanami
to experiment with #rubyonrails alternatives and step outside my comfort zone for the first time in years.

Any thoughts on this idea?

It would be so nice if maintaining an open source tool paid even a fraction of how much it is glorified lol 😂
