In the #indieweb chat there’s a helpful bot named Loqi that answers questions from the wiki and lets us add countdowns. Sometimes the bot seems like magic and there’s jokes about it gaining sentience. To that end, I apparently added a countdown in 2018 for 6 years out: “Loqi can drive.” It was something I set and forgot, so it gave me a laugh to get the countdown notification today.
You can also “give” Loqi things and it will respond with random things, so this funny exchange happened afterward:
gRegor gives Loqi a car
Loqi laughs at the car
gRegor gives Loqi a cybertruck
Loqi gives back the cybertruck
See, smart bot.

I’m also convinced there’s room for another fediverse-compatible social network that handles both long and short-form content in a similar way to Substack’s articles and Notes. If someone else doesn’t build that, I will.
Yeah, it’s weird how no one has built this and certainly no one has been actively hosting thousands of blogs with long and short-form content, a social timeline, and fediverse integration for years. 🤪

Something you want
Something that hurt you
Today marks four years of #Owncast! Can you believe it? For fun, let's take a short look back at what that looked like.

in general my approach to things like webservers and email is
a) own my domain names
b) pick companies to run my email/website/mastodon/etc
c) switch whenever I want
I really appreciate the convenience of using services like fastmail/gmail/fly/netlify/github/nearlyfreespeech/etc, and I know that if things go downhill I can always switch
@aaronpk thanks - i like step '0'
You are very brave, patient and understands that you have options (1) and (2)
saved for playing around with.
I always knew this day would come. “Add a shared credentials relationship from twitter.com to x.com” https://github.com/apple/password-manager-resources/pull/759
@aaronpk sure, drop me an email (see my website in bio) and we can arrange a call.
@aaronpk Apple does not fuck around when it comes to understanding their users.
