Chris, I don't know what got you into all this strong names stuff, but I want to take the opportunity to point to my own pet peeve and a fine band, together at https://
I stopped sharing photo posts to micro.blog because they were being duplicated. Pretty sure now that's because the RSS contains the image twice, as part of the CDATA and again as an enclosure. Not sure whether to fix in @WithKnown or ask @help at micro.blog to ignore enclosure.

@jeremycherfas It's only supposed to include the enclosure if the URL isn't also part of the post already. Is it possible that the image URLs for enclosure and in the HTML were different?

@help I put an extract in a gist gist.github.com/jeremyche...
Looks like there are two versions, one as data-original-image and one as data-footer, and then the enclosure version contains an eltra element in the URL but points in the end to the same blob.
Still not sure where to fix.

Quite by coincidence, I'm sure I just yesterday listened to Malcolm Gladwell and Dave Hill talking about Lords of Chaos and the black metal scene. https://

No coincidence at all, of course -- this is the podcast episode that made we want to read the book!
Darn. I wanted it to be something weird.

I've always fond RSS indispensable. As for tools creating better ways to surface stuff, Newsblur does allow you to train it, which to me seems more useful than using an algorithm to train me.
Absolutely we need more and better tools, but the basics are definitely there for the major CMSs and even more so for people who are comfortable developing their own sites.

My main concern has been that even while IndieWeb principles, patterns, and protocols are re-usable in many ways, the main part of examples are written in PHP. We might need more examples in multiple languages to widen up the ecosystem of interconnected self-hosted sites.

Just wondering why @adactio's sparklines contain only 131 points on the x-axis. Maybe because a day on which nothing is posted is not recorded? Getting ready to publish my own first sparkline and want to do the right thing.
Thanks Aaron. I haven't given up yet. In fact, getting another proposal together is high on this week's agenda.
Chris Aldrich's clever solution for not drawing attention to visible but "hidden" links doesn't quite work as advertised, at least not for me in Firefox on OSX.
This post opened a whole can of worms relating to Grav's public comments plugin. Despite being authored by "Team Grav" it hasn't been touched for going on two years and just doesn't work. It sends the notification email correctly, but does not acknowledge the comment and does not save the data.
I've taken a first look at the code, and it seems like I might just be able to wrap my head around it, but I will need hours free to do that. Hours that I do not currently have.
I could disable public comments again, and just accept Webmentions (which this post is intended to test). But although Comments are rare, some are worthwhile beyond mere affirmation, so I am loathe to do that.
P.s. It also raises again the need to fix Known's HTML-escaping problem, and makes me wonder why the comment is truncated when it gets to jeremycherfas.net -- which means looking at the templates there in more detail.
Ton's post about his first edit of Open Street Map is just the nudge I need to start doing more of this myself.
