#
TeeKay I am sure this has been done many times before, but I wrote a php script to accept a post from Indigenous and write it into a markdown file which then triggers a static site generator (Pelican) to rebuild and publish my site. Happy to share if anyone is interested.
#
TeeKay So now I have a micro-blog on my own site that I can uodate from my phone, super excited about this!
#
TeeKay The site if anyone's interested: https://tobykurien.com
#
TeeKay The best part is that I can upload images and it will use mogrify to strip metadata and resize the images before checkinbit all into git and publishing

#
[Raphael_Luckom] cool!
#
[Raphael_Luckom] I like the microblog section, very nice.
#
TeeKay Thanks!
#
[Raphael_Luckom] Do you think of your microblog as "taking notes" (like things that _you_ will use later) or "talking to others" (like updates for friends) or a bit of both? I learned about zettelkasten yesterday, so I'm trying to learn if there are other tricks / practices I didn't know about 😄
#
TeeKay Bit of both. I currently syndicate all my microblogs to twitter and mastodon, other than photos.
#
TeeKay So I am certainly trying not to over-tweet. My personal notes are in a differwnt GTD based system

#
[Alan_Smith] Trying to `@` TeeKay, but it's not working. Name has `App` beside it. What new magic is this?
#
[Alan_Smith] Also TeeKay, nice site. GREAT favicon!
#
aaronpk some of us are actually talking on IRC, there's a bot that connects IRC and slack

#
[jgmac1106] reading Ben's article did I miss another Medium pivot?
#
Loqi misses another Medium pivot too
#
[jgmac1106] Gives Loqi three clones so they can better track Medium pivots

#
jamietanna[m] Skippy_ I used to store media in my git repo, but I'm now moving it to its own separate repo (via my Micropub media endpoint) so it's a smaller repo for my main site, especially as I start to post photos on my site more

#
[tantek] gives Loqi a pivot
#
Loqi Thanks, [tantek]!

#
cambridgeport90 Probably a stupid question. Does anyone know of books that include microformats 2 in their HTML content?
#
gRegorLove I can't remember the title but I think adactio has a book in HTML + microformats
#
cambridgeport90 That's actually really cool.
#
gRegorLove Hm, all I'm finding is https://html5forwebdesigners.com/ but that wasn't it (I don't see mf2 in it either)
#
cambridgeport90 I'm sure there's lots of stuff on the web site. Or is that more spec stuff?
#
[schmarty] https://resilientwebdesign.com/ ?
#
gRegorLove That was it!
#
cambridgeport90 That sounds awesome, and it's definitely not familiar, so I think I missed something.
#
cambridgeport90 Was able to grab the book. Looks like I have lots of reading to do here in a bit.
#
cambridgeport90 What we need is more talk of microformats in mainstream writing and articles. Even college courses, though it's been six years since I've been in college LOL.

#
[snarfed] if you use Instagram and you’re missing Bridgy backfeed and want to try an alpha browser extension that fixes it, let me know
avalos joined the channel
#
gRegorLove Sure, I'm interested. I don't post photos very frequently, though.
#
[snarfed] gRegorLove great! chrome or firefox?
elioat_ and [chrisaldrich] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich] :raised_hand::skin-tone-3:[snarfed] I'm happy to help test. I'll take chrome/ff or both.
#
[snarfed] [chrisaldrich] great! i’ll post links in a min
#
[snarfed] ok, https://snarfed.org/bridgy.xpi for firefox, https://snarfed.org/bridgy.crx for chrome
#
[snarfed] there’s no UI, but you should eventually see any new comments/likes since 11/27 ish show up on your user pages, eg https://brid.gy/instagram/gregorlove and https://brid.gy/instagram/chrisaldrich
#
gRegorLove Ironically Chrome didn't auto download that, displayed gobblydygook. Downloading it via Firefox though.

#
[snarfed] oh huh sorry. i don’t use chrome, haven’t tested as much. i’ll see how installing there works
#
[snarfed] also you’ll need to be logged into instagram.com
#
[snarfed] if you download the .crx and file => open it in chrome, that should work
#
[snarfed] thanks for trying!
#
gRegorLove Cool, got it installed
#
gRegorLove So leave instagram.com open, or my bridgy IG page or?
#
[snarfed] neither
skalnik left the channel
#
gRegorLove lol
#
[snarfed] i’m not seeing your extension check in yet. may have you find console logs in a bit
#
gRegorLove I have uBlock, so maybe need to add bridgy to allowlist or something
#
[snarfed] i think it should be unrelated
avalos joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich] so, bridgy account, logged into instagram, and extension installed. Any other requirements, set up, etc?
