Listened to Thoughtworks Technology Podcast: Serverless in 2023
Post details
Serverless received significant attention when it first emerged in the middle of the 2010s. And although it has now entered the mainstream and is today used in a diverse range of scenarios and architectures, it nevertheless remains a topic that causes considerable confusion and debate: where should we use it? How should we use it? Sometimes, what even is it, exactly? In this episode of the Technology Podcast, Mike Mason and Prem Chandrasekaran are joined by former Thoughtworker Mike Roberts — author of "the canonical book on serverless,"  — to discuss the current state of serverless. They examine the ways that serverless is understood today and explore the impacts and challenges it has for both businesses and software developers. Read Mike Roberts' book Programming AWS Lambda:  Read Mike's long-read on serverless on martinfowler.com: https://martinfowler.com/articles/serverless.html

Interesting to read! We've been using #Gousto for a few years now and it's been really great, considering we used to struggle to cook very basic things / not make the time to cook "properly" and I've found now that I really do enjoy cooking

Listened to The Tech Talks Daily Podcast: 2290: OpenUK CEO Amanda Brock On The Future For Open Source
Post details
As businesses and individuals, we rely increasingly on digital services in our everyday lives. Our lives have become dependent on technology, from cloud services to mobile phones and streaming sites to the apps we use. And behind these technologies lies open source software. Open source software has become a vital part of building digital services. It has made it possible for developers to collaborate and share code, making it faster and more cost-effective to build software. But with this increase in use, the importance of security planning and governance has also grown. Amanda Brock, CEO of OpenUK, is a leading open-source software and governance expert. She has been an advocate for open source software for over a decade and has seen its impact on the industry. Amanda shares where we are with open source and why we must care about how our software gets put together and where it comes from. Amanda discusses the importance of understanding the source of the code and the licenses used. With the rise of open source software, it is essential to be aware of potential legal issues and ensure compliance with licensing requirements. She also highlights the importance of building and maintaining trust with open source communities and contributing back to them. Amanda also emphasizes the role of governance in ensuring the security and reliability of open source software. She points out that open source projects must have a strong governance structure to ensure that contributors are held accountable and that the code is secure. As Amanda notes, open source software has become too important to ignore. We must ensure that we are not only using it but also contributing to it and supporting its continued growth.  By understanding where our software comes from and its governance structure, we can ensure the security and reliability of the technologies we rely on daily. As businesses and individuals, we must recognize the importance of open source software and take steps to ensure its continued growth and success. Sponsored VPN Offer

I've got a Hugo site that uses IndieWeb technologies (Micropub, Microformats, Webmention) to also interoperate with the Fediverse and Mastodon.

My site publishes an average of 50 commits a day, most of which are done using Micropub (using a custom built Micropub server).

Then I use Bridgy Fed to do the IndieWeb-to-Mastodon connectivity, sending it a webmention when I post a new thing, and it then syndicates it to my followers in the Fediverse. Bridgy Fed's rendering of content isn't maybe as flexible as you would want - I believe it's set to only syndicate specific things, but that may be something we can improve and/or make configurable!

You could use Netlify functions for your Micropub endpoint - I know a few folks have done that before (including Carol Gilabert)!

One thing to be cautious of is as you're starting to publish more content, avoiding spamming folks with Webmentions.

For the PESOS items, I've been doing it with my step counts, and similar could probably be done on Netlify with a scheduled function to grab the latest entries and publish them to your site.
