Saw Trevor Noah doing the Daily Show from his apartment and holy shit why is it that this is what makes me more anxious than literally anything else?

Mar 6, 2020, 12:19 PM -05:00 I do something vaguely similar with my media endpoint, except I use a server that I rent out from from kimsufi, where I also host my webmention and micropub endpoints. But...does it ever bother you to split your content like this? Ā I use a static site generator, and one of the nice things about this is that your entire site can be generated from the contents of your local folder. Ā When part of your content (your photos) live somewhere else (a media server, or a CDN, or whatever), that's no longer the case. This bothers me somewhat, though I don't lose any sleep over it. Ā I don't really have a good answer for it.
Mar 6, 2020, 5:58 AM -05:00I use BunnyCDN as storage for my Micropub media endpoint, where I upload all the photos and other media files I publish on my blog. When I upload a new photo the media endpoint first uploads the original file with the name of itās SHA-256 hash value (so when I upload the same file multiple times, it doesnāt create multiple files). When I upload an image (JPEG or PNG) it also gets optimized and resized to a maximum width of 2000 pixels using the Tinify API (and then uploaded to BunnyCDN too), ... -

Feb 24, 2020, 3:39 AM -05:00Exploring Pine.blog
Iād noticed Pine.blog before at a previous IndieWebCamp, but not had time to delve into it very deeply. Seeing some of what Brian Schrader has been working on while following IndieWebCamp Austin remotely this weekend has reminded about the project. As a result, Iāve been spending some time tonight to check out some of the functionality that itās offering. In part, Iām curious how similar, or not, it is to what Micro.blog is offering specifically with respect to the idea of IndieWeb as a Servi... -

Following people with a different perspective than you is an easy, low effort way to broaden your horizons. Amplifying people with the same opinions or interests as you but speaking from an underrepresented group is an easy way to put more of those voices into public discourse. -

English has an ancient law: in words like 'chit chat', 'zigzag', and 'seesaw', we always put the part with an i (as in 'pit') or e (as in 'be') first. We instinctively know this rule of 'ablaut reduplication'. You can't have a pair of flop flips or jamjims, or play pong ping. -

Word-discovery of my morning is 'bumfle': Scots for a wrinkle in clothing or an unsightly bulge. Goes well with 'cover-slut', 17th-century English for a garment put on over another in order to hide a tear or stain. -
Feb 12, 2020, 10:27 PM -05:00 Your Website Is Your Passport
One of the themes that crops up again and again in the IndieWeb community is that your personal domain, with its attendant website, should form the nexus of your online existence. Of course, people can and do maintain separate profiles on a variety of social media platforms, but these should be subordinate to the identity represented by your personal website, which remains everyone's one-stop-shop for all things you and the central hub out of which your other identities radiate.
Part of what this means in practice is that your domain should function as a kind of universal online passport, allowing you to sign in to various services and applications simply by entering your personal URL.

Jan 27, 2020, 6:47 PM -05:00 Territory Acknowledgements
I am writing this on the traditional and present homeland of the Lānui Mnikuk and Epekwitk First Nations. Under the Peace and Friendship Treaties, this territory ā as part of Miākmaāki ā was never surrendered, and is still Miākmaq land. Ton, you asked āwhat was the importā of the paragraph like that in my last post, the one about the garden. Short answer, itās a territory acknowledgement. Itās a thing thatās become common in Canada at the beginning of a meeting or ceremony, to show our... -

@desmondrivet Hi Desmond, I think of the IndieWeb as being less about "knocking Facebook off its perch" and more about establishing a resistance movement. -

šø A section of the D&R Canal State Park trail between Rocky Hill and Kington has a tunnel that runs under Route 27/Main Street on the border with Kingston and Princeton. A few years ago I walked this section of the park as part of a longer walk from Griggstown in Franklin Township. I remember that the first time I saw this tunnel it felt a bit spooky when seen from a certain angle. One cannot see into the tunnel which, due to its length appears cavernous, and which makes disconcerting noises... -

Jan 12, 2020, 10:40 PM -05:00 This whole thread is awesome. I remember reading someone's fantasy Superman scene somewhere and it involving him on a mountaintop listening to the entire world in danger, in anguish over who to save first.

Take on Superman I think would work well in live-action: Explore his hyperawareness. Delve into the nerves living in a world of cardboard might give a person. Explore the feeling of being able to hear people in peril all the time and never being able to do enough. -
