@ricfink A mix of Seagate and WD, but it’s the Synology that’s failed twice. The third Synology has been fine so far tho!

At this point I'm thinking a couple USB 4TB drives that rsync to another set that sync to Backblaze is a better option. Fewer moving parts.

I recently had to RMA my device twice because the controller kept failing. The drives were all fine each time tho.

@mattb I have a 5x4TB RAID6 (2 redundant) but IME the hardware around the drives fails more often than the drives themselves.

@toomuchpete me too. me too. 😭

@toomuchpete it's not that bad I promise 😂

Thanks! I actually just finished the technical side of it this morning. Turns out it was more about doing things like writing conditional text for things like "the figure above" instead of "figure 1.4" since the figure numbering happened in the HTML->PDF toolchain step. I think I have a finished epub and mobi file now, so I just have to figure out the distribution step through Lulu.com now. (It's also made slightly complicated by the rev share agreement, so I can't just go wild with distribution or direct online sales of it.)

@dominik Yep, finished up the prep work of the epub/kindle version this morning, still working out the distribution details!

I want to give a huge thanks to @lindsayb610 and the team at @Okta and @OktaDev for all their help with the launch!

@rainnwilson Why hello. So nice to see you on Discovery after seeing you at @OktaneConf last month! 😂🚀

@keithjgrant indieauth.com is one of the only remaining OpenID providers, and Stack Overflow still accepts OpenID logins

@meyerweb I just updated the user agent that indieauth.com sends so it should work for you now!

@meyerweb Strange, your Wordpress is returning a 403 error when the user agent is set to Chrome 43!

ah cool so you're mostly interested in the trip tracking aspect of it? Not so much the passive continuous aspect? I bet I could put together a mini app that publishes a feed like this: https://aaronparecki.com/transport

@johnjohnston I'm considering building a mini version of Compass, and I'm curious, what is the most important feature of location tracking for you? Having full history? Sharing your realtime location with friends? Something else?

@johnjohnston It's a bit complicated to set up right now, it wasn't really meant for shared hosting. Definitely doable on a Raspberry Pi tho.

@shuoink Plenty of examples of why that's a bad idea here: https://indieweb.org/js;dr Fine for web apps, not so much for documents.

if the HTML isn't rendered server side, it's not a website. it's a web app, and will most likely be lost to time https://indieweb.org/js;dr

@shuoink data attributes are "not intended for use by software that is independent of the site" https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-20110525/elements.html#embedding-custom-non-visible-data-with-the-data-attributes

@benwerd That's awesome, but the demo is broken! Browsers won't give access to the location APIs w/o SSL anymore and there's no cert!
