The farmers who benefit from Fair Trade don't pass the benefits on to their workers. New paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s41893-019-0311-5 @LB_Naylor first alerted me to this in my episode on Fair Trade https://www.eatthispodcast.com/pushing-good-coffee/

Frustrated attempt to create my first EC2 instance AND connect to it. Launching it with defaults went fine, but connecting kept timing out, and after going through all the troubleshooting it is still timing out. Stopped, for now.

@jack Amen to that!
I went for a default security group and then went through all the checks, so I am at a loss. Will try again when my brain has cooled down.

@jeremycherfas Amazon makes the simple things just difficult. The AWS way!

@jsanchez True ... But there is also a set and forget aspect to it, once you have it working. At least, that has been my experience with S3. This is the first time I have tried to use EC2.
, Jun 30 2019 on micro.blog
@jeremycherfas that’s totally true, what’s the reason that you want to use EC2? :-)
, Jul 02 2019 on micro.blog
@jsanchez Blindly following a recipe I don’t fully understand. May try again with a later Ubuntu that allows web access too.

This is very cool, and the login worked perfectly. Now, is there a separate feed for me if I am logged in?
Jeremy Cherfaspublished this
Yes! If you are logged in, the feed contains all the checkins, and also some posts with you on the list. If you go to /private, you will see all the posts where you are on the list (or it's empty, in which case: sorry).

Such a well deserved award. Can't remember when I last enjoyed actually reading a cookbook this much. Well, I can, if I put my mind to it. It was Five Quarters from @racheleats
The very few occasions on which someone’s interesting reply leads me to an interesting original are far outnumbered by banal replies that clutter my timeline. Grumpy? Sure. But I wish I could control that.

Replied to a post by Jeremy CherfasJeremy Cherfas In Aperture there are channel settings for excluding certain post types that you might not want to see. But nothing yet for filtering out at the granularity of banality I think…
I'm a late adopter on IndieWeb readers, I freely confess. Maybe I should make the effort now. Well, not now, because I'll be out of circulation for a bit, but soon.
So sorry that all the great content in Heated "by Medium and Mark Bittman" is available only to people willing to pay Medium's price. I'd much rather pay money.

I gave the pound of flesh. Let me know if you ever want me to send you a pdf.

@_MatthewDillon This latest was prompted by the recent piece on gluten free from Bob Quinn ... and there's a certain irony in trademarking your grain name while not being content to simply copyright what you write rather than hand it over.

I’m not even clear if an article like that on Medium gets the writer a $ return or not. Assume it does for the regular contributor (like Bittman) but doubtful on the occasional. That changes my attitude on payment for material. Maybe @bittman knows & will tell us.

Maybe and maybe.

Seems to me that if you haven't grabbed clients on the home page, they're probably not going to go to an About page. So maybe that should be more personal?

I've yet to advertise proper that I'm back freelancing tbh. I should maybe start with that before worrying about the rest! 😅 The general info in my footer still has some space I feel, I could add a few extra lines of personal info there though.

Seems to me that your home page is great as a professional About page. Just add some #indieweb markup like an h-card. You have a contact form, which is important, what more do you need?

Thx for the feedback! Great (rhetorical?) question there! It sort of feels like the copy isn't good enough for that little extra "convincing" or a lack of connection potential clients visiting my page. I dunno, I guess I am over-thinking it perhaps... 🤔

Really Tonz, you shouldn't be meddling in this stuff. I'm just going to leave this here: https://agro.biodiver.se/2009/05/nix-that-fruit-it-really-is-a-vegetable/
Slowly developing an interest in bonsai, and came across a name that might be https://micro.blog/cn in a post comment. Just wondering, anyone else here interested?
@jeremycherfas That happens to me sometimes and is usually due to a missing security group rule. I find AWS issues to be mind-bogglingly hard to track down. They write millions of words of documentation but for some reason I can never find the answer I'm looking for.
