Portland event organizer @matto's tweetstorm voices a complaint I’ve heard from many local event organizers #pdx http://sflo.me/2uHFiMl

@siliconflorist @matto What this says to me is the more people feel personally invested, the more likely they will show up.

@siliconflorist @matto I tried charging $5 to get the dropout rate lower, didn't work. Raised to $10 and still had only 65% turnout.

@aaronpk Good job! Maybe I should add my W6AZ call sign to my About page here. Ha ha. 😀 Your radio is 2 m? Any plans for HF?

Nice! Or just make a whole separate site for it ;-) https://w7apk.com

I have a 2m/70cm radio right now. I'm interested in HF but I think that's a longer-term project, probably not until I live somewhere I can mount an antenna on my roof. (My apartment building wouldn't like that very much!)

Attempting an Instant Pot hot sauce recipe tonight! • 2 cups cherry tomatoes • 2 carrots • 1 small onion • 1.5 cups habaneros • 4 cloves garlic • 1 cup rice vinegar • 1 cup water • 1/2 cup Mustard • 1/2 tsp xanthan gum Chop the carrots, onion, garlic and habaneros. They don't have to be super fine. Sauté the onions in the instant pot until translucent. Add everything and set to high pressure for 4 minutes. Let the pressure come down naturally, or you'll get a room full of capsaicin and you will regret it. Blend with an immersion blender. Notes on the outcome of this recipe will follow!

Update! This turned out really good, it just doesn't have quite enough heat! The vinegar and liquid ratio was great though. next time I think I'll just double the habaneros!

Yeah, CAPTCHA can be indeed annoying sometimes but security is above all.

@namecheap I've been hit with this while buying a domain the past 3 days in a row, and this time happened twice in the same checkout!

I'm with you in that running this stuff in a browser makes me uneasy, although between https and actually trusting Agile Bits, I've launched the 1password web app on a couple of occasions. The vast majority of my use of 1password is their desktop and iOS apps.

The security of their ecosystem is written up in a PDF whitepaper, which is a good read: https://1password.com/teams/white-paper/

tl;dr your master password is never sent to Agile Bits, and they have no way of decrypting the data on their servers.

But it looks like the protocol just results in those comments getting scraped by the other site anyway, where u don't control it anymore.

@alicewonder32 Yep, the point is as the author of the comment, I've posted the comment in my own space. You can choose whether to show it.

I thought the IANA Link Relation Registry was the authoritative source as per RFC5988 https://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xhtml

@hvdsomp also not sure how you ended up on last year's CR draft of Micropub, the canonical URL is https://www.w3.org/TR/micropub/ (It's a REC now)

Some of the code wasn’t so nice and I didn’t want it out in public. Also didn’t want somebody else to put it on the store.

@timonus aw k, thanks anyway. I was hoping it'd be a good starting point for a Micropub app, possibly extending it to non-fsq as well.

Ah, sorry yeah. I removed it.

@timonus Any particular reason? Could you restore it long enough for me to sync my fork of it?

Hey @aaronpk, why are "shortlink" and "syndication" not included in the IANA Considerations section for W3C Micropub https://www.w3.org/TR/2016/CR-micropub-20160816/

@hvdsomp "shortlink" and "syndication" are already in the rel directory, Micropub didn't make those up: http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values

with microformats

Awesome. This was a test checking for my latest "feature" where my checkins that contain only a person-tag no longer get added to my home page feed. This way I can not worry about flooding my home page with checkins when I tag people in checkins without also adding text or a photo.

1) $51.66 is the cost of the power cord minus the gift card.
2) $29 is....the cost of the adapter you ordered?
