Kind notes

Being in First Class on a train is great and all (only £2 more expensive than an open return - bargain!) but they can't make tea correctly. They put the milk in first!!

After seeing my Spotify Wrapped playlist for the year, and some of the usage stats, I think I'm definitely going to be writing an application to get that data out for myself and my own usages

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 (issue was raised at https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/jvt.me/issues/821 to implement)

Well, I think I've cracked it - after a few weeks of on-and-off work on making my webmention sending not spam everyone (see https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/30/reader-mail-webmention-spam/ ) - it's now not re-sending them if they're successful. This is a good first step, but I'll be improving it to re-send if the post's data has changed since last time it tried (in the future). Note that this isn't quite done yet, expect it to be live tomorrow perhaps.

Lots of trick or treaters out tonight. So the best thing is to turn the lights low and pretend you're not in.... Right?

Woo, thanks to https://realize.be/ for releasing an update of the wonderful Android app https://indigenous.realize.be/ which adds in a fix to not send multiple bearer tokens in Micropub requests ( https://github.com/swentel/indigenous-android/issues/241 ) This started breaking for me when I upgraded my Micropub endpoint to use the spring-oauth2-resource-server module ( https://gitlab.com/jamietanna/www-api/merge_requests/27 ) which is a well-formed OAuth2 server, whereas my previous implementation was not. Super speedy fix, and glad to be back to using the app again!

I've just updated my posts https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/06/13/pretty-printing-jwt-openssl/ and https://www.jvt.me/posts/2018/08/31/pretty-printing-jwt-ruby/ to allow it to work with pretty-printing encrypted JWTs (without decrypting) - this was a bit of a pain point of mine I've finally got around to sorting.

Great to see that Meetup.com has realised the error in their ways, even if it was only meant for a small group (but not written as such) https://www.meetup.com/lp/paymentchanges I still think there's some lasting damage there and we should still be looking to build open platforms.

Happy #PronounsDay! My pronouns are he/him/his, and you can read them programmatically on my website (using #Microformats), as described in https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/04/10/pronouns-microformats/ It's super important to make them visible so folks everywhere are more comfortable sharing their pronouns

Day trip to London tomorrow, so 4+ hours on the train - hoping to finish my writeup of DevOpsDays London as it was a great conference and I'd love to share it with y'all!

I guess you could say I'm officially a Go developer now that I've made this tiny contribution to Hugo! https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/pull/6391

Had a very exciting end to the week. I'm looking forward to sharing some news on Monday - keep an eye out for a blog post!

So very close to having my IWC Amsterdam blog post finished before WIT Notts - may have to see if I can get the last bit sorted before the talks start!

#Hacktoberfest PR #3 complete! https://github.com/phpminds/website/issues/136 - another productive #HomebrewWebsiteClub, and I even managed to support some other repos + get some stuff ready for maybe number 4

Nothing like a fire alarm when you're fast asleep to get the blood moving..

It's been an awesome day at IndieWebCamp Amsterdam! The afternoon was chatting about licenses and ownership, then looking at how to migrate folks from silos to IndieWeb with a long term strategy, then some discussions about events, RSVPs and calendars, and finally all things syndication. Got some great discussions, and lots of interesting things to play with tomorrow at the hack day!

Interesting start to the morning at IndieWebCamp Amsterdam - we've spoken about accessibility of the Web and IndieWeb, and about how private posts and privacy should work

I'm really enjoying the intros at IndieWebCamp Amsterdam. Its nice to see the range of websites, the technology usages, and that some folks are posting while they're talking while others haven't touched their sites in years. It's an exciting chance to get reinvigorated!

En route to my first IndieWebCamp (Amsterdam) after a great couple of days at DevOpsDays London. I'm really looking forward to meeting some folks and talking about owning more of my little corner of the Web, and meeting the faces behind the websites I frequent!

Yesterday I met someone who, after my talk Overengineering Your Personal Website at last year's DevOpsDays London, started building their own website. That's awesome! 🙌🏼

But I also have some tweaks to make sure I render a title for /mf2/ entries, as currently search doesn't help as it's just an empty string returned for things that match

I think at https://www.jvt.me/events/homebrew-website-club-nottingham/2019/09/18/ tonight I'm going to write a how-to for setting up your first h-card, similar to https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/08/21/rsvp-from-your-website/

Starting off the week nicely with a massage. May have napped through a little bit 😴
