As shared elsewhere on the site, I am very pro IndieWeb (https://indieweb.org) and therefore try to do everything via my own site.

I use https://brid.gy/ to syndicate posts from my own website (https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2020/04/svn4c/) to Twitter (https://twitter.com/JamieTanna/status/1254670009420431360) so I'm still owning my content, but I can still interact with folks on other platforms.

Thansk - I have a tweet.js which is 2020-2018. I'll try and re-fetch using the steps in https://help.twitter.com/en/managing-your-account/how-to-download-your-twitter-archive and see what I get

Thanks! I actually got it straight from Dell. They'd quoted middle of May, but it came a couple of weeks earlier, so you may be lucky too!

Are you able to install the Ubuntu PPA linked from https://help.nextcloud.com/t/linux-packages-status/10216 ? That seems to have 2.6.4 available

Got myself a Dell UltraSharp 27 4K USB-C Monitor: U2720Q which is very nice! Got a much nicer colour quality compared to my other, older, 4K monitor. I'll share a photo of my new setup tomorrow

Sorry, the Alpine one wouldn't be helpful anyway. The Arch package (https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/nextcloud-client/) has the nextcloudcmd executable, but it appears to need a few other things installed from the package, such as libnextcloudsync.so. What platform are you running your server on? It looks like the packages are available on https://help.nextcloud.com/t/linux-packages-status/10216 for each service - given the Arch package is the "desktop client", it appears that it's possible to install the client on your headless server and still interact with it via nextcloudcmd

That being said, it looks like the Docker example shows that the Alpine package contains nextcloudcmd, so you may be able to pull it out of https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86_64/nextcloud-client (or if you'd like I can extract it and send it over?)

Is the expectation for this that will contain all of the properties? Or could just be the URL/UID?

For instance, I've got a static site, so my Micropub endpoint would proxy a generated file from the site. If I can reduce the amount of properties to add to this, it'd be good, especially if this is really only being used for post listing.

I'm really sorry to hear this - I had a kidney stent put in a couple of years ago, but I was quite fortunate that it was only ever so mild discomfort, although my body at the time was recovering from my ruptured appendix so maybe that distracted me? What have you been given for the pain?

I recently asked if anyone I knew had one of the new models but got no responses (via my blog, or Twitter).

I've got an XPS 13 9343 and love it - largely form factor, but also the 3K screen - and have been wondering about upgrading recently, in part due to USB-C and fingerprint sensor, not for any other reason.

According to the Arch Wiki entry for the new XPS it's mostly alright, but doesn't seem to have fingerprint support.

May be that it needs to get upstreamed by the folks at Ubuntu.

In case it's a point of interest, the highest-end one has a 4K screen (RRP £1768.00)

I'd say go for the slightly newer one, with the caveat that if you stick with the Ubuntu build it comes with, it'll probably be alright, but if you want to re-install/install a different OS, it'll likely not work as well, and may require a more up-to-date kernel - as I decided to use Arch at the time it meant I always had the latest kernels, so as they added support for the drivers upstream, I was getting them pretty quickly, whereas friends with non-cutting edge kernels didn't have as much luck.

I really do recommend Dell for the XPS based on my existing one, and would be very interested to see how you get on with it, if you do get it, so it can inform my decision to buy one while I'm in quarantine and don't need my laptop to be as functional as I would if I were travelling.

9/11 at the age of 7. As a child of an ex-pat/immigrant in Cairo, Egypt, working for a large American Bank, with a lot of other American friends, I remember knowing something was up when everyone at school was rushed home, but didn't really understand it

Learning review is my go-to

I had some spaghetti that came out of the tin in that shape the other day and Anna Dodson was having none of it

I'm hoping that I'll keep a bit more on top of mentions not being sent, and may even look at scheduling a batch to re-process mentions that haven't sent (although I'm pretty sure I set up my Webmention processor to do that for me)

Yes it was a good chat! Thanks both for it, definitely some food for thought - especially around making folks more comfortable aware when it's their turn to speak!

I've been doing a lot of #IndieWeb things recently which allow me to own my data a lot better - such as this tweet which is actually published to my site first, then gets syndicated to Twitter - been fun for many reasons

Anna Dodson found a pretty good timeline of events that helped with the second viewing because we understood when it was all going on

Birthday was last month, just as UK lock down was happening 😅

So jealous!

What sort of binary file? I remember in uni digging into ARM assembly, and the structure of those, but that may not help!

It's anywhere from 4 minutes to 4 months behind 👍

Code is merged, bugs fixed in both Micropub and post-deploy, so this should work!

Turns out it was due to a mistake on my part for not reading the docs properly for https://telegraph.p3k.io/ - this time it should work!

And even higher timeouts...

Needed to up a few timeouts, 🤞 this time!

Yes, I think I saw this when I first had the post up, I'd tried to resolve it but it broke on other platforms 😅 I think maybe Slack? But if you've got any thoughts on the right way to fix that'd be appreciated!

I definitely started to over use it after finding out about it last year https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/05/19/html-toggle/ but it is a pretty nifty thing!

Webmentions are great! They're how I handle all my interactions with my site i.e. https://www.jvt.me/posts/2020/01/11/homebrew-website-club-nottingham-url/ under Interactions with this post and there's great support for WordPress and many static sites, among others!

Oh no! Anna Dodson was looking to get one of her own, so is a bit disappointed by the news. How come? Is it that just the island won't transfer, or nothing at all?

I use https://hetzner.cloud for my personal servers which have some in Germany but looks like not in Frankfurt unfortunately

For those wanting a bit more info on the IndieWeb, see the discussion and post on https://lobste.rs/s/zg6iok/indieweb_movement_owning_your_data_being where I shared a transcript of a conference talk I did on the subject

I use https://github.com/PlaidWeb/webmention.js to render my webmentions client-side so they're always up to date, instead of needing to rebuild the site - I've written a bit more about it at https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/06/30/client-side-webmentions/

I followed the instructions in https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/coreutils which prompts you to update your PATH: PATH="$(brew --prefix)/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH" which worked wonders, and I now no longer need to prefix with g

Used to but moved to Hetzner as performance and cost wasn't as good, and I had a few issues with downtime - one which left me with a fairly critical server dead for over 24 hours and needed restoring from backups

Anna Dodson and I have had great fun playing Good Job - it's a nice mix of casual strategy and chaos

Not that I'm aware of, sorry!

Can't comment on the Kubernetes angle, but I've been using https://hetzner.cloud and have had good experiences - fast, competitive price and no issues with unexpected downtime 👍🏽

I guess you'll have to have another 😅

Sending hugs 🤗 can't imagine having to go through this alone - I'm lucky to be living with Anna Dodson, and that both of us are quite introverted and enjoy being at home. Hopefully it won't be long until you can see them

Happy birthday 🎂 🎉

You two ♥

I also very much enjoyed this photo of #Morph and I

This is great! I may have to start posting videos of https://www.jvt.me/tags/morph/

Ooh yay!! Although I didn't see a referral come thorough 😉

You're probably doing something better than us then 😅

Brilliant write up Neil, great stuff on getting it working! Nice to see that it was a case of connecting up various IndieWeb tools for a somewhat out-of-the-box feel

Thanks! Glad to hear it helped. The library mentioned at the end of the post has a bit nicer interface, if you prefer, but I was pretty happy with the initial version too

They usually are, yes - given there's been a lot of zoombombing recently I want to get a few things in place before it's fully open for remote - sorry, and hope it'll be available for next time!

Hey Amit I meant to reach out - I think for this one I'll probably keep it as just for Nottingham, but I know the London event https://events.indieweb.org/2020/04/online-homebrew-website-club-europe-london-2Kc9aetW589f is open
