@aaronpk But did you ever actually use it? I never used mine.

I mean, that depends on your definition of "use".

"use" for its original intent? absolutely not.

"use" for things like this? of course :D https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/4325

Now and again, maybe once a year, I remember how we all got CueCats for free in the mail.

I had to go down the street to my local Radio Shack to get mine

Anyone have a print-on-demand service they recommend? I have a couple-hundred-pages PhD dissertation that's relevant to my work I'd like to print out and have on hand.

My book is printed through Lulu.com. I like that they contract with local printers so it's actually cheap to ship to almost any country because the books don't have to go very farl

Yeah, 90% of the time this wouldn't apply to me, but I can see the utility. The same way the email clients have the "Unified Inbox" across different email clients. Most the time I want to be able to just look at one category. But sometimes I load my reader and I have like 1-2 posts in 5 different channels. For those instances it would be kind of nice to open up a reader that I knew support this "Unified Unread" and just scroll and read them. I get tired of tapping between the channels when I run into those couple of posts in each channel situations.

Now that you mention it, if I see the unread counts across all channels and there's only a few, I wouldn't mind the unified channel for quickly catching up on everything. However, I would *only* want content from the channels that keep unread counts, not the ones that only show the dot. But that could be a server-side setting that the clients don't need to be aware of.

I don't think so ... let me check. And how do you parse the p-swarm-coins property manually? You have it in the docs, I just can't figure out how to do it.

I don't know how you'd do it in WordPress, but I built special handling of that property into my site to show them.

I noticed something weird with http://ownyourswarm.p3k.io and Wordpress. Coins aren't coming back to http://cambridgeport90.net for some reason. @aaronpk, any suggestions? I get mentions from people, though. Thanks!

hmm, they are sent just like regular webmentions, are they getting flagged by akismet or something?

Letterpress printed QSL cards for successfully sent and received Webmentions must be the most finely targeted joke. The audience very likely not larger than 3 people.

this is an amazing idea please let's make it happen

IndieWeb is more and more starting to feel like a genuine social network for me. It’s happening slowly, but I’m building up a list of people that I follow in my reader, and I get the odd interaction back here and there. And it’s not all just inside chat about IndieWeb plumbing. Good stuff!

(Not saying it wasn’t already a social network for other people – this is just my own experience. If I’d been blogging to my own site for 20 years, or joined micro.blog, I’m sure I’d be there already!)

#IndieWeb

That's awesome! I feel the same way! Over the last year or so it's actually been able to completely replace most of my use of Twitter and Facebook.

lack of code replay protection and proprietary client authentication method?

In my testing, I wasn't able to use an authorization code twice. Did you see something different?

Or rather an explanation of the thinking as to why it’s so close and why certain things were or were not deemed important to implement

for real! I'm so curious. I can't tell if it was just like one Apple engineer who read OAuth/OIDC and then built this, or if it was actually thought through by a team.

@aaronpk I don't have a web host per se, just a linode, which doesn't offer that. but I see they offer https://mailinabox.email/ so maybe I'll just try that, though it is overkill

ah yeah. I use DreamHost for my forwarding. I decided to get out of the email deliverability business myself once it started getting too hard to keep up on avoiding getting caught in spam filters. It's just a game I don't want to play anymore, happy to have people with a full time staff deal with that now.

I'd like to self-host a single mailing list that is never going to have more than about 25 people on it. Is there a dead-simple thing (wayyy simpler than Mailman) that will just.... alias something like thelist@tinysubversions.com to CC 25 different email addresses?
It doesn't need a public or even private archive messages. It's just for a small group of friends who want to stay in touch.

I do this with simple mail forwarding rules at my web host. It doesn't have any "mailing list" features like showing archives, all it does it forward to a handful of addresses, but it's excellent at that and requires no maintenance.

I hope I’m wrong. Looking at the ui it shows users being able to not provide it but I can’t find info in the code about that.

Their docs are wrong in a few places and are missing a lot of info.

@aaronpk Am i correct in reading through the apple sign in that they're protecting the privacy of your email address with a proxy but then giving everybody who asks for it your full legal name?

They actually have a way you can edit the name that's sent back to the app!

Nice write up 👍 Did you find the anti-fraud Real User Indicator capability surfaced using JS API? Available as credential.realUserStatus property in native.

Nope, haven't found that yet! It's missing from their docs too. I'm going to keep playing with it though.
