Has anyone written some thoughts/ideas at length re: "following a feed" versus "following a person"?
#
[jacky]
I keep thinking about doing it myself but I'd like to see what's been done/written

I'm also reading about this thing that [schmarty] bookmarked re: federated bookshelves and now I'm at https://cleverclogs.org/2014/05/rss-reader-inoreader-to-support-dynamic-opml-subscriptions.html
#
[jacky]
OPML to RSS is like "following a person" to "following a feed" imo
#
Loqi
[jacky]: it seems like this conversation is more appropriate for #indieweb-dev
#
[jacky]
you know what
#
[jacky]
Granted, that's a plumbing-esque perspective but it does interest me because OPML is meant for like "outlining" (TIL) and having it being used like that is equivalent to how one's relationship to a person's content can evolve over time
#
[jacky]
Like from just following their notes to then following their replies by adjusting what kind of stuff you'd like to see from them

like tbh, this could really go from that to _anything_, lol

I definitely prefer following feeds rather than people. Meta/aggregate have too much chatter in them, especially with indieweb response pages thrown into the mix.

IMO the answer to "too much" is muting granularity (IG does this), not "revert to lower level UI"
#
[tantek]
and yes I'm saying "following feeds" is lower level UI

[jacky]
yeah so I don't even think an aggregate feed should be the default case
#
[jacky]
like it should be opt to be minimal/low-traffic and have hints to more things (that's 'magic' in the subscription tool / social reader tho)

okay this is definitely #indieweb-dev territory but that leads me to some thoughts

[jacky] You might have seen this but there's a short section under /follow specifically about that if you want to expand.

discussion at HWC Americas tonight led to a new popup proposal from me KartikPrabhu and lahacker, regarding "sensitive data on your own website"
#
maxwelljoslyn
please add to the wiki ifyou have any suggestions, I think there could be a lot of meat on this bone.

oh nice

[jacky]
!tell lahacker I'd love to set a time for the InDWeb popup (excellent name, lol) https://indieweb.org/2021/Pop-ups/Sessions#InDWeb I'm thinking sometime later in the month or even early June. What do you have in mind?
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next

What does it do?
#
doosboox
Nothing! 😆
#
doosboox
Especially not the way they’ve connected everything…
#
jeremycherfas
Are all those Pis spare?
#
doosboox
Well… yeah…
#
jeremycherfas
I can't seem to wrap my head around buying a "computer" to do a single task. But I know I need to.
#
doosboox
I’ve only ever used one at a time
#
doosboox
I use a 3B to run apache, a gemini server, act as NAS, and run thelounge.chat
#
doosboox
it can easily do a lot more. I don’t like the idea of buying a computer for a single task either
#
doosboox
not really sure how I ended up with so many pis

I have one (my first) for syncthing, equivalent to your NAS, I guess, on a much smaller scale. But while it is doing that it can't also be my camera trap.

Mine is a NAS in the sense that I mount my home directory from it on my laptop with sshfs 😆

that needs to go on /diagrams
#
[tantek]
though the href="domain code snippets need to be href="//domain at a minimum 😛
#
[tantek]
bugs me when code looking things have typos / omissions because people *will* type things in from a diagram expecting them to work.

"need" is 🤷‍♂️

we could nitpick about which to use for RelMeAuth or not as well
