sometimes you just want a quick server...
ruby -rsinatra -e 'set :static => true, :public_folder => "./dist", :port => 31337'

php -S 127.0.0.1:31337 -t dist

I just got these reflective holographic OAuth stickers made and they are kind of the best thing ever

ok if you're wondering where you can get one of these stickers, find me at an event we're both at and I will give you one! If you can't wait that long, I put a few up for sale here and I will mail one to you! (p.s. there are cat stickers there too!)

@aaronpk Looks like we need to add Microformats there, but there is a JSON Feed at: micro.blog/posts/discover/photos

That works thanks! I didn't see it in the metadata of the web UI either

Because the main Discover timeline is limited to recent posts for now, a good way to see more photos from people on Micro.blog during the photo challenge is to go to the web and click Discover, choose 📷 Photos from the popup, and then click More Photos.

is there a jsonfeed or microformats feed of that page I can follow in my reader?

Before I type any credentials into this $300 Walmart laptop, how do I know it wasn't owned at factory with malware/keyloggers? I've only ever installed stock windows before. Weird to trust whatever's on rando disk. (will add second disk with Linux later, but don't have it yet)

Definitely reinstall. Unfortunately I have no advice on how, it's been a decade since I've installed Windows.

If you use copyrighted content, YouTube will run ads on your videos but you won’t make any money.

(if the copyright owner decides to monetize your video vs ask it to be removed)

It's never okay to use someone else's copyrighted work without their permission. YouTube has kinda blurred that line by making it easy for copyright holders to find and monetize vs just takedown.

If I lived in London I would be all over this. But why isn’t it a website?! It would probably have been cheaper for them to develop and would allow them to serve a far wider set of people. My guess is: a consultant fleeced them.

It's probably a website wrapped in a native app too 😭

Question about JS modules:

I'm using a complex-ish library (js + css + svg) for html JSON editors

But the github page only lists "how to build for npm", and lacks any "dist" folder with regular js files, or even a CDN version

Why would this be the case?
https://github.com/josdejong/jsoneditor/

I can't stand when projects do this. For me it's a sign that the library is overengineered and I probably don't want to use it anyway.

TIL about unclaimed property websites run by the state https://unclaimed.oregon.gov for example. I have a surprising amount of money out there to chase down. :|

Yes! A couple years ago I got like $500 from an old bank account I had forgotten about!

I would love to be wrong, but I'm beginning to feel pretty strongly that using IRC for all communications is a good way to keep your OSS community an Old Boys Club

Exactly why we bridge all of IRC, Slack, Matrix and Discord for the IndieWeb chat. Regardless of where you join from it's all the same chat. https://indieweb.org/discuss

My earlier point is that everyone needing to buy a domain name is an unreasonable expectation for the vast majority of people.

We pool resources for all sorts of things in meatspace society. Most people do not have a reason to be “every person for themself” digitally.

Sure, and in that case, share a domain with a friend/community you trust. My problem was very specifically with your wording "go get a Mastodon somewhere" for these two similar but unrelated reasons:

To parrot back: Do you run your own email server? Unless you're running your own, you don't own your email identity, the server admin does.

I think distributed instances with their own rules are many steps forward from our current centralized position. Better is good.

Nope, email *domain* not email server. My email address is @parecki.com but it's gmail behind it. That means I can swap out gmail for running my own server later and nobody who emails me will ever notice. That's the difference.

Sure, but I just don't think a blanket "join a mastodon somewhere" statement is really beneficial overall.
