So around ~1312 my server that hosts services such as https://meetup-mf2.jvt.me and https://eventbrite-mf2.jvt.me/ but also my Micropub endpoint and other things restarted. Not 100% sure why (as it turns out that the logs didn't persist) but turns out that my webserver ( https://caddyserver.com/ ) hadn't been configured to restart post-boot, but all the other services had. Woops! Glad I didn't have a tonne of content to push, but it was a bit worrying having no way to resolve it, as I had no laptop to SSH and diagnose.

Hey https://realize.be is the source code for the Web page hosted at https://indigenous.realize.be anywhere? I was looking to contribute client metadata https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org/#client-information-discovery similar to how Jacky does at https://v2.jacky.wtf/post/1f8ffba0-e948-4dac-aa6a-3975074cced9

I guess it's more that I didn't want to write any posts and then not publish them, because if I've written it I'd rather have it out there than just sitting around, but have felt over the month I need to be careful in case I don't have things to write about?

What hardware are you running on? I've found it often doesn't work "out of the box" because the hardware manufacturers don't Open Source/upstream their drivers so it can't be released as part of the core distro offering.
It is definitely a pain for users, as it's not like ie Dell would say "don't buy this, it sucks for Linux usage!"

My Micropub endpoint has a fair bit of unit testing inside the Java project ( https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/www-api/tree/develop/www-api-web/micropub ) for common flows, but I've also found a tonne of implementation issues by integrating with real Micropub clients.
Some of it is an issue on a Micropub client, but most of it is something I've missed or assumed incorrectly.
I'm thinking to create a stubbed version ( https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/www-api/issues/26 ) that I can then use with https://micropub.rocks to ensure compliance.
Some of it is also a case of reading through the Micropub spec!

Definitely yes to this! I've also proposed how we can do this using Microformats2 in https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/04/10/pronouns-microformats/
