[chrisaldrich] It seems like the spirit of PASTA, but in my case it's not only on silos (and my own site), but also in a private back up archive. Having it on a silo generally makes it public by default. The archive is the only portion which is private, which my paper back up is.

#
[chrisaldrich] As part of the Bluesky announcement, they've apparently added in feeds so you can add accounts to your favorite social reader.
#
[chrisaldrich] And of course someone has already created a tool for following your account timeline with social readers: https://bluesky-atom.appspot.com/ [snarfed]++

#
[tantek] It's probably not a coincidence that shortly after Threads enabled following (some) accounts from Masto/AP accounts, that days later Bluesky opened this up
#
[chrisaldrich] I love that it feels like there's some competition in the social space to open up like this...
#
[chrisaldrich] Just ran across a http://micro.blog social reader (app): https://lillihub.com/ What an interesting and different view into the service.
#
[snarfed] [tantek] understandable thought but in this instance the timing probably is a coincidence. it's been on their roadmap for a long time, publicly, including the sequencing

[aciccarello] [chrisaldrich] Interesting, that app uses the Deno JS runtime. I've been playing around with Deno but rarely see it used.

#
[KevinMarks] I'd bet it's more the other way around - Meta knew BlueSky was opening up soon and crunched to get something out first.

peterkaminski random #lazyweb wish: that the "How to" section on https://indieweb.org/POSSE had a micro.blog section.
#
peterkaminski random clayshirky post on "LazyWeb for features": https://web.archive.org/web/20030127215443/http://www.openp2p.com/pub/a/p2p/2003/01/07/lazyweb.html (2003-01-07)

[tantek] peterkaminski, you can contribute such lazywiki requests to the wiki page itself from here in chat!
#
[tantek] Like this:
#
[tantek] POSSE << [[to-do]]: add a http://micro.blog section to the "How to" section
#
Loqi ok, I added "[[to-do]]: add a http://micro.blog section to the "How to" section" to the "See Also" section of /POSSE https://indieweb.org/wiki/index.php?diff=91557&oldid=90743

peterkaminski a post that links to POSSE, and a list of where "the socials" are today. Comments welcome! (Someday I'll have webmentions and other ways to be more welcoming to comments, but not yet.) [https://peterkaminski.wiki/social_media_is_fractured Social Media Is Fractured]

[chrisaldrich] What is http://micro.blog?
#
[chrisaldrich] Did you go to sleep Loqi?
#
sknebel what is micro.blog?
#
Loqi Micro.blog is a social web site & posting service started by Manton Reece with built-in support for using your own domain and other IndieWeb building-blocks, ActivityPub/Mastodon, and POSSEing to many services such as Tumblr, Medium, Flickr, and Bluesky https://indieweb.org/Micro.blog
#
sknebel asking for things that look like urls from slack doesnt work
#
[chrisaldrich] The alternate question peterkaminski is, what does the /micro.blog page have on /POSSE?
#
[chrisaldrich] Good to know that Loqi isn't just ignoring me...
#
[chrisaldrich] gives Loqi a cookie.
#
Loqi steps on the cookie.
#
[chrisaldrich] 😿
#
[chrisaldrich] One can now relatively easily use various tools in combination with artificial intelligence-based voices and reading to convert large corpuses of text into audiobooks, podcasts or other spoken media. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7142905086325780480/
#
[chrisaldrich] Is anyone else creating podcasts out of their own website content this way? ^^ Seems particularly interesting with respect to longer content like /articles.

[jacky] nice rendering of a year in review for books https://bookwyrm.social/user/jacky/2023-in-the-books
#
[jacky] hah this list is _not_ accurate
#
[jacky] I've read about >20 books this year
#
[jacky] will def be ~30 by EOY
#
[jacky] but I don't care enough to backfeed
#
[jacky] ah it's private, just made it public
#
sknebel still doesnt load for me, "not found"
#
[jacky] ah I see
#
[jacky] http://bookwyrm.social/user/jacky/2023-in-the-books?key=70a96ded372f4066ab2e54e63712cd0d
#
[jacky] the public nature is using that key
#
[jacky] access is revoked by rolling it
#
[jacky] hmm
#
gRegor what is bookwyrm
#
Loqi BookWyrm is a social book reading, reviewing, and personal library site built on open source software that supports ActivityPub https://indieweb.org/BookWyrm

#
[jacky] what is endurain
#
Loqi It looks like we don't have a page for "endurain" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "endurain is ____", a sentence describing the term)
#
[jacky] https://github.com/joaovitoriasilva/endurain looks like a way to self-host something like fitbit/strava
#
[jacky] well:
#
[jacky] > I'm not a developer by profession (my dev concepts are from university ten years ago) so this work had a lot of help from ChatGPT and the main purpose was to learn new technologies and new concepts, so please be gentle. If you have recommendations for any topic please let me know.
