Does anyone have a suggestion how to handle news feeds where you don't want to necessarily keep all the updates and just delete them as you go? Is there a best practice scenario where you should be keeping all updates to a site (in a news/updates feed)?

Hello! I need a little help.

I attempting to run a script to follow my youtube subscriptions to a microsub server but I'm having trouble with IndieAuth. Since it's a command line script, I'm a bit at a loss for the right way to get a token. Most of the examples I've seen online are through websites and the two sites to generate a token on the wiki no longer seem to be working. Is there a lib or other site that I can use to get one? Or do I have to t

Nevermind haha After some minor sleuthing, I found the page on github (https://github.com/sebsel/gimme-a-token) and saw it was just a single html page. I saved it to my computer and used it and it worked. There's a discovery button that my browser blocked but it's just a convenience to find information you can get on your own.

0x3b0b re following @tantek.com@tantek.com on your site, I'm trying a new idea, I sent an Undo of the original actor Delete to your site's AP inbox. could you try following tantek again and see if it works this time?
#
[tantek]
[snarfed] thank you! I'll reference that in my post

[0x3b0b]
[snarfed]: I hadn't mentioned it yet because I once again worked on my site right before going to bed, but last night I found that there's a bit flag for "deleted" on actors that my site had set, removed it, and was able to undo follow and send a new request. I could probably go re-set that bit and let you try again and see if it gets un-set, though.

FreeBSD provides a great out-of-the-box starting system for me, as i'm interested in old computers. they also provide support for older/more niche architectures
#
[mattl]
epic.crow: nice. I'm more familiar with OpenBSD.

Haven't actively used FreeBSD since 7.x if memory serves correct. May free up a partition and give it a whirl again.

[mattl]

I did spin one up on a VPS roughly a year ago, but it wasn't officially supported at that time.
