You know that somewhere, somehow some glorious Linux geek is building a hacked together alternative out of a Raspberry Pi, a 3d printed rubber strap and a ton of solder...

I wish I had the skills to build this: https://imgur.com/a/FSBwD3g

I feel like I should be upfront: I am not a gamer.

However, I did procure the new @Razer Blade Stealth 13" ultrabook with a dedicated graphics card (GTX 1650). The intent was for a backup laptop for coding and video editing.

...but I kinda want to play a game now. Suggestions?

Bit the bullet and ordered the Bose Noise Cancelling 700 headphones after feedback from followers. Early testing? They’re beautifully designed, comfortable, easy to set up, and the noise canceling is superb. Sound doesn’t blow me away, but is solid. Keeper! 🎧

Keep an eye when charging them the first few times! I was just talking with someone who had the charging port melt from overheating.

Reasonably happy with my current “IndieWeb” setup, although I’ve deliberately not implemented things that are probably considered part of it—likes, replies, etc. (Also, not sure if I should be relying on 3rd-party [backfeed] services, and it ain’t exactly plug-and-play.)

Hey it's your site, do what you want with it! 😄

The music didn't happen while I was talking and again, it wasn't "too" loud. I normalize my audio to maintain a constant perceived loudness. So if the music was too loud, so was my talking. But again, my issue was the "commercial" part. Have you seen the video? The new Fuji one?

Looks like you're gonna have to start doing that on Twitter too. Maybe a purple card for "did you actually watch the video"

Correctly using bookmarks (instead of reposts)

hm I'm confused. Usually we use "repost" to mean the same thing as what Twitter calls "retweets". That section you linked to is pretty confusingly worded, but means to say that if your bookmark is *only* an entire duplication of the thing being bookmarked, then it's really a repost instead. In any case, I looked at a few of your recent bookmarks and they are what I would expect, so I guess it's sorted?

@aaronpk sadly doesn't look good, I'm still at my parents in Germany half way from Poland to Switzerland. I'll arrive tomorrow afternoon most probably but then I don't want to leave immediately again. Any other day you'd be free?

Ah too bad! I will be free Thursday evening too! Heading home Friday morning tho.

@t I visited all these URLs and I still don't know what microformats are for. https://indieweb.org/microformats2 http://microformats.org/wiki/microformats2 http://microformats.org/ http://microformats.org/wiki/about http://microformats.org/about http://microformats.org/wiki/Main_Page I guess this is a bug report?

You're right, those don't do a very good job of explaining it to someone new.

This one should make more sense: https://microformats.io

Yeh, that (I have no idea how this stuff works thanks aaron, as always)

It'd be great if you could drop a Twitter link into someone's webmention form, but that'll take me a while to figure out. In the mean time if that person is using https://brid.gy it'll work without anyone doing any manual work.

Pardon me for asking this Andy, but why was this tweet not added to the website and instead “deleted” as a web mention? Genuinely curious and not trying to step on any toes here.

https://webmention.io/andy-bell.design/webmention/1_-J54iEdKi7HM-JN8SY

Sorry, that was my fault! The error should have said that there was no link found, and that's because Twitter URLs can't be used when webmention.io is handling the request. I just fixed webmention.io tho!

Thinking of my @indiewebcamp friends over in #Brighton at the moment. I so wish I could be with you, @t @adactio @aaronpk @martijnvdven @HeNeArXn @calum_ryan @RosemaryOrchard & others — alas, too many things to keep a grip on these days. Have fun y'all, I'll try to catch up soon!

We miss you too!
