I’m not really a TikTok user, but I have discovered a few accounts that are worth following. Since I don’t want to install TikTok under any circumstances and I don’t want to visit the website manually, I built myself a TikTok JSON Feed generator. This tool consists of only a few lines of JavaScript and uses the library tiktok-scraper. Now I can follow TikTok-ers and see new posts in Miniflux. I hope that TikTok will not block my server.

Nice, never even thought to try this!

This weekend’s IndieWebCamp in London has sensibly been switched to online-only because of the current health concerns.

A big well done to the organisers, Cheuk, Calum and Ana, for their initial attempts to keep it going and then swiftly reconfiguring for an online event. Communication with attendees during the week has been exemplary.

I’m very much looking forward to joining tomorrow’s sessions from the comfort and safety of my home office.

Hey @Linode why do you have so many ad trackers on your *login* domain? Of all places that's where you want to use as little 3rd party JS as possible!

Visiting login.linode.com loads trackers from Facebook, Doubleclick, Impact Radius, Oktopost, Linkedin, Google Ads, Bing

(btw I have some other security concerns with your login flow too, happy to follow up with this privately)

That’s surprising and concerning. Was considering it for a website (due to its attractive pricing)...

It's very strange. I've been using them for 10+ years and have been extremely happy with the service, so this is confusing to me.

@aaronpk My understanding is that's a legacy subdomain and they want people to log in via cloud.linode.com now?

cloud.linode.com uses login.linode.com for its login.
