@aaronpk I just finished using Claude to upgrade a lot of my old projects (not PHP). It went very well.

@bbbhltz i know @brennan runs an instance of the Ruby version (from pre-rewrite), you might use that instead? https://webmention.folk.zone

> So if you don't like that I used #Claude to help build the replacement, that's fine! You can treat it as though I shut down the service and go find an alternative, because that is what would have happened anyway.

Well poop. I guess I won't be using #webmentions until I find a solution

@brennan Oof.

As for what we can do: I think some of us should self-host the services we care about. And some of us should write their own implementations. That's what standards are for. Having the first implementation be the only implementation that's used widely is a problem.

@brennan ...if it's the thing that finally allows Aaron the capacity to move forward on some of these improvements, then I'm not sure the community has a right to complain about that?

If that crosses a line for you and means you have to migrate to different tools, that's totally fair enough. Frankly, I applaud anyone who takes that moral stance.

But if we're calling for people to come forward to fork those tools now, I'd ask why we haven't been doing the same for maintenance up to this point 🤷

How cool! Where did you get the panel?

lmao I do not know how I did this, but by test sending webmention replies to my own website and then deleting the test webmentions, I somehow got my source url BLOCKED from sending anything back to myself for testing.

great. anyone know how to remove this block when it's not in any of the UI? my blocklist on webmention.io is blank.

@aaronpk Five years on, my friend; time to update to what you're currently working with. Meanwhile, https://swb72.us/life-stack

@aaronpk One blank short of that device reading “SH*T”. LOL

@aaronpk

Dude, it's been 3-4 days, just KEEP ON RESTING.

@aaronpk Fantastic, I tried this a while ago but was getting multiple posts for every checkin and people apparently didn’t want that much of me in their feeds. :) This was a while ago so I’ll reconnect things and see if I can get it working.

@aaronpk How are you posting check-ins? I was trying to do this via Swarm but the way you’re doing it seems much better.

@aaronpk

Where's the TODO list that includes the purchase of real-estate sufficiently large enough to do the TODO ⁉️

@aaronpk What’s going on with that cat’s back legs?

@aaronpk Having a blast seeing these pix of Shenzhen. It’s been about 10 years since I was there and the place looks even bigger now.
