  • Damn, after refreshing my Firefox profile, I see that [[Omnibear]] no longer exists in the Firefox plugin repo and seems to be a bit abandoned. I think you can just download it and install locally. But if it's abandoned, maybe time to look for something different.

  • I'll just use my Emacs [[Micropub]] client for now for notes. For replies, likes, etc, either I install find something else, install Omnibear, or extend the Emacs Micropub client.

  • [[Beating the bounds]]:

the practice used by many English villages of walking the perimeter of their land to identify any fences or hedges that had encroached upon their shared wealth.

– [[Free, Fair and Alive]]

In our times, beating the bounds may initially involve direct action resistance and civil disobedience against enclosures, and attempts to "de-enclose" them.

  • Fixed up my Emacs micropub layer a bit - specifically the querying of available syndication targets.

  • Mastodon notifications UI says "Never miss a thing", not the attitude we should be going for, IMO

  • My web setup currently is kind of a personal data store.

    • I have my garden and a journal as plain text in git.
    • My stream is in WordPress.
    • I allow different apps access to this data.
      • My own personal renderings of my data, doubleloop.net and commonplace.doubleloop.net
      • Agora has access and renders my garden as part of a larger space.
      • The Fediverse also renders my stream (I push to it, but still)
    • This is a kind of homebrew web 3.0. think this is web 3.0 to me. A Rube Goldberg version, but still.
  • So currently my main issue is the stream being in WordPress. I don't like this as a data store. I would like it in git with my other stuff, ideally. It is, some of it, in a sense. In my journal files. You could say I posse my journal to WordPress as another client. But I'm missing some key data. Metadata. Replies, responses, etc.

  • Can I PESOS maybe? From WP to git?

  • Or maybe I just use a non-WordPress frontend now. One that is git-backed. This would be the more fun approach (but much more work…)

    • Something like Barry's transformative.
    • I could use org-publish or ox-hugo for the stream too. But how would that work with micropub and responses?
