Replies are basically my comments to others' posts, posted on my own website. I'm not sure why you'd want to browse this, but here you go.

Working on connecting Mastodon with the #IndieWeb! https://fed.brid.gy/ https://snarfed.org/indieweb-ostatus-bridge
Also, your testing tool link gives me an empty JSON dict
whoops!! My content processing code is URL-escaping a link that already has a URL-escaped parameter :D
UPD: actually, it’s the markdown library!
You don't seem to have author markup that Monocle can show (may be a Monocle bug). And you don't seem to have an avatar anymore 😢
hm, the testing tool can find the h-card.
I didn’t have it for a brief period right after deploying the new engine, maybe monocle cached its absence? (o_0) or it doesn’t support that way of finding the card (would be odd)

hmm, but https://indieweb.org/repost very much says “retweet from your own site”, and the bookmark page says you should only use bookmark when not reposting content.
Looks like bookmark works better for long articles, but repost for short, tweet-like notes.
My “favorite” is when YouTube videos disappear. When Basho went out of business, they deleted their channel with all the conference talk recordings on it. I found my favorite talk on my hard drive, but I didn’t archive anything else. Another example is #RightsRun the 24 hour Sonic 06 Twitch stream, of which only clips remain it seems :(
Now I youtube-dl whole channels.
Remember when Palm Pilots had an IR transmitter and you could download a "universal remote" app and turn off any TV? I need that right now to turn off this annoying TV in the hotel bar.
My Android phone has an IR blaster :)
Blockchain is heartbreaking. As a computer scientist, I love it. It’s a fundamental breakthrough: the first open participation distributed consensus algorithm ever. That’s a big deal. As an engineer, I can’t responsibly recommend it to anyone for anything. It’s slow, unreliable, immature, hard to use, and functionality impoverished. It’s a database that hates you. Truly heartbreaking.
But blockchain is not (just) about open participation. It’s about trustlessness (“well actually” there are “permissioned blockchains” but that’s just a glorified/terrible variant of Git pretty much). And society is built on trust. As Nicholas Weaver puts it, blockchains (trustlessness) is good for one thing only: censorship resistance, i.e. evading the law. It’s just the only option for thing like ransomware. For everything else, systems with trust are many many orders of magnitude more efficient.
And I’d say systems without trustlessness can be “open participation”. Dename was a pretty cool idea.
So, now if you reply to my posts, the discussion will be easier to follow, since the post I'm replying to is shown above my reply. Isn't it awesome? Note that reply contexts are archived. If you change your reply, there's no way for me to know that you changed it and update the reply context automatically!
heh, I have posts denormalized in my database (so, always referenced by URL) — after receiving an update webmention for a post, the updated version shows up in all reply contexts.
(at the cost of some complex and not-very-fast PL/pgSQL procedures :D)
ToDo: develop a habit to open my indie reader instead of my social networking apps
heh i just quit twitter
my habit now is lobste.rs, the orange website and some subreddits (/r/Buttcoin especially) and tumblr
I’m trying to embed a link to my full h-card into my posts as a p-author property. Tips on how to do it are welcome. #indieweb

The #HardenedBSD Cavium ThunderX2 system has been fully paid for. Just gotta wait until it comes in.Anyone know what the state of KVM on #Linux arm64 is?
It’s pretty good. I run FreeBSD on Scaleway’s ThunderX1 KVM VPS.
I/O was awfully slow though, until I discovered that it was because MSI-X was not used because of some silly blacklist thing. Fix: hw.pci.honor_msi_blacklist="0"
This indieweb thing here also has similar concepts (replies etc.), why doesn’t it count as social media? :)
It’s hard to imagine a centralized way of banning websites online.
Seems like the fediverse/Mastodon world is moving towards shared instance block lists, i.e. pick some people you trust and import their block list. For now it doesn’t seem to be a proper automated feature, just random github repos like the (awesomely named) BLOCKchain.
_Very_ soon, I will be looking to acquire a Cavium ThunderX2 system for #HardenedBSD. We will be able to drastically decrease the amount of time it takes to build arm64 packages.
Works on Arm Cluster still lists ThunderX2 with an asterisk (early/NDA)… is it actually generally available now?
I'm 30 minutes into using Ubuntu 18.10, having upgraded from 10.04, and I am pretty smitten so far. Seemingly gone are the days of hours and hours of repairing all kinds of driver issues and configuration settings after upgrade! :knocks wood:
10.04?? You were actually using an 8 year old version? o_0
