One of the most important things I do at the end of every day is close all my tabs, tmux windows, and SSH sessions. I need every morning to be a clean slate.

I legit wish I had the willpower for this

i think what i will do is, if Michabo is in dev mode, you can specify a hardcoded bearer token and use that instead of doing the whole OAuth dance.

this should work nicely for my prototyping needs.

you could just give yourself a special interface to generate access tokens too. sites like github do that.

It’s happening right now 😉

hm I don't see any currently failed checkins. Next time it happens, don't re-try it, and I can check the logs.

That’s strange. Next time that happens let me know and I can see if there is a particular checkin that is causing the error.

Every time I visit Aaron Parecki’s website, I come back with some inspiration - understand why & how he is implementing the things the way he is. There are many design decisions he’s handled perfectly.

But every time I visit his “Articles” page, I am bewildered with one decision he has made there. He loads a list of posts, fine. But then follows it with complete contents of 20 recent articles. Given that his articles are heavy on images, that’s more than 25 MB of response. Not ideal, I think.

I keep struggling with that page, and blog posts in general.

Right now, any time a post appears in a list, there isn't special handling for it, so these blog posts appear the same whether they are on the "articles" page or whether a single one appears in a tag page or my home page. I *think* I'm happy with that decision for most places on my site, but you're right that it's a bit much having 20 of them in a row.

If I was better about always including a featured image and always writing a summary, I would definitely switch to a sort of "card" view on this page, but I haven't figured out what to do when a post has no image or summary, since just the title isn't quite enough.

everytime people talk about cryptographic petnames I just go back in time to the Semantic IRC, PSYC, SecuShare crowd

the one key thing that crowd always misses is that we are building this stuff for normal people to use. normal people don't care about any of this. they get user@domain and user.domain.tld subdomains.

people don't want to tell the difference between

- Alyssa (0x12345678)
- Alyssa (0x87654321)

and they aren't going to go to the trouble to build a trust graph

Semantic IRC is the worst of every world

Went to the Apple store to check out iPads and see it I want one. I think they are too big for me. If I’m going to carry one around, I might as well take my laptop instead because it’s not that much more bulk or weight. I’ll get an iPad mini if they update it.

I am so waiting for a new iPad mini! That is my favorite size and I’m so sad they haven’t been updated in ages!

this stuff from cwebber about webs of trust is entirely the wrong way to go for identity

is this like a pseudo subtoot? referencing the actual conversation but not linking to it? ubertoot?

You’re not going to believe it, but I can’t reply to the Wordpress post from my reader because the mf2 HTML feed doesn’t have a URL property to tell me the URL of the post from your home page feed.

#38 resolve relative URLs in e-* html

The lack of the <base> element in the parsed result, as well as the fact that some parsers already do this, make me lean towards adding it to the spec as well.

@aaronpk Nice to meet you at #devconf! I already understand micro.blog’s Webmention model better than I did when I first wrote this, but if you’re curious where I started: http://micro.blog/jd/803408 and my current question about “re-mentions” that we discussed in person: https://micro.blog/jd/806147 I know these are both specific to micro.blog but I’m very interested in how Webmentions can gel well wtih centralized services like micro.blog in general.

Good to meet you as well! I'll take a look at those links soon!

Not sure what has gotten into me, but setting up Vim, using Irssi and starting to organize my .dotfiles but I might have to grow the beard back and mean it this time.

weechat is so much better than irssi tho. Plus you can use a pretty web interface for it on your phone!
