  I realized that looking at your profile, where you have an @ your own server. This ain’t your grandfather’s social network, is it.
  

  Yup, forget about picking an instance, bring your own! #OwnYourData

  It's been a long time since I've done a full day marathon coding session, but I am nearly done with a tool that will archive your entire Flickr account as a static website that you can browse entirely offline!

• Syndicating My Tips to Foursquare

  I realized I have been avoiding leaving tips in Foursquare because I didn't have a good way to post them from my website. So today I added the ability to syndicate my posts as Foursquare tips.

  I'm thinking of how to pull my Google Maps Timeline data in a machine-readable format. I want a GPS tracker project like @aaronpk's!

  also I need a nickname cache and interface for posting those checkin spots! #itches

  So, I'm migrating my YouTube subscriptions to Microsub, thanks to YouTube's RSS support. I think that when I make my own IndieWeb reader, I'll special-case YouTube posts by adding a YouTube embed inside of them. Or maybe by downloading the video with yt-dl and offering it as a u-video. It'll also serve as an archive... but my HDD would explode!

  I deleted all my tweets (I saved the archive) with a plan to let a bot take over, but the bot is still saying stuff like, "To win it doesn’t take ribs playing football (when the username and donuts play Netrunner)" so I'm a little worried about it giving it full control...

  Just downloaded my @instagram dump and I'm pretty disappointed. 😔
  
  • My comments include only the comment text, a timestamp, and the photo author. No way to know what I'm commenting on
  • Same for photos I've liked
  • There's no indication of likes or comments on my own photos

• The Hostile Email Landscape (liminality.xyz)

  This isn't how the internet is supposed to work. As we continue to consolidate on a few big mail services, it's only going to become more difficult to start new servers.
