nikitonsky: A call log that doesn’t show call time? You had one job!

The temptation to bring in a js bundler is oh so very great. Deno bundle is obviously not designed to bundle js directly for the browser but you can get away with it up to a certain point.

Here’s a muse; linking to external sites is probably one of the harder parts of blogging. Pages can go 404 and you won’t know exactly why, urls change even though they’re supposed to be immutable.

To blog while having pointers to disparate sources requires checking for dead links, and verifying that content relevancy hasn’t changed. The solution is to either archive everything (hard) or to not link at all (easy). High mutability is one reason why people take pictures of online content — it just works.

Of course in my case the social media applications within the Fediverse are not what’s most interesting. It’s the generality of its protocol. ActivityPub appears to have an easier time with different use cases than other protocols.

The link to a Fediverse server list in a previous post died but fediverse.party also shows the diverse types of applications that use the ActivityPub protocol.

Out of all front–ends for Mastodon/Pleroma the one with the funniest name is Soapbox (repo). Social media is a soapbox. Yes, this blog now has simple text animations :-)
