A space for mostly short form stuff and responses to things I see elsewhere.
In IWC DUS yesterday we were talking about feeds and how to help people use them. This morning I read http://
Updated Idno to 1.6.4, build 2026022801 and surprised that I had to re-upload most of the plugins and the Theme I use, though they are all still in the repo. Trying to decide whether my dislike of the 2026 theme is just because it is different. I should give it a little longer. #IndieWeb
I really do like WithKnown as one of the most competent IndieWeb-ready CMS around, but lawks! is it a mess to tinker with. Having successfully migrated to a new host and persuaded it to use the CSS stylesheet it always used in the past, it still cannot find photos. Maybe later.
Took the plunge and installed first Docker and then Uptime-Kuma on my resuscitated Pi, and I am both impressed and happy. Tomorrow I will think about how to notify myself if there is a problem. For now, touch wood, no need.

This month's IndieWeb Movie Club suggestion is Triplets of Bellville, the first one to have tempted me. I happen to know that the whole thing is on YT, in segments, having watched it while stuck in an empty B&B a couple of years ago. Very tempted.
Truly baffled by someone who has a kind of About page that links to their various online presences, and the one labelled “blog” takes me to a Substack signup. Whatever else you may think it is, a newsletter is not, on its own, a weblog. At least, not for me.

Very much enjoyed reading Paul Robert Lloyd’s reworking of the IndieWeb principles, and in my view they are a definite improvement.
Only one question: is the emoji for item 6. a bento box? My old eyes can’t be sure, but it would be appropriate.
Trying to use IFTTT to POSSE from here to @etp@indieweb.social and discovering, alas, that use of a webhook requires payment. Not that I'm against paying, just that this particular use cannot justify the cost. Next stop, the ActivityPub plugin.
Probably not relevant, but I have to transfer a site from WordPress to ClassicPress and I might do it on Saturday and take the opportunity to make it a bit more IndieWeb.
Interesting to read Devastatia's IndieWeb Carnival entry, which opens with an account of The Breakfast Club, the day after we saw The Holdovers. We were talking about great high school movies of the past, and of course TBC was among them (also If, The History Boys etc). As a Boomer, I wonder how those and The Holdovers (set in 1971) come across to recent generations.
