IndieWeb post types
This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:
Some interesting ones in here I'll look at using - escaping things is one of my biggest gripes with every language, so this is pretty nice

I had a look at this last night and unfortunately it doesn't provide that much good data.
There's a year of listening history which may give a similar outcome, but it's not perfect

#spotify.
An interesting read, especially since I keep a watch on these by https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/27/owning-step-count/

From me it's a no - I see why some people want it, but would rather prefer they stay out of the already limited space in the commit message title, and there's a level of arguable subjectivity of what an emoji means especially as different teams, projects and cultures have views on it.
But then again, so does written language, but I feel that is at least more known?

#git.
I've received my data from Spotify! Once I'm home and have had dinner, I'll get hacking on it to see what they've got for me and whether I can reproduce my Spotify Wrapped myself, for historic years, too!

This is a great read about the things that being in the https://indieweb.org/ (Independent Web) can empower you with, and the ownership and agency that it affords you.
I'd recommend a read of https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/22/why-website/ and https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ for a bit more info, too.
This is a brilliant talk about the quirks of JavaScript, from a number of years ago.
Although it's fun to hate on JavaScript, it can also be seen about other languages.
Definitely worth a watch if you've never seen it before, or are working with JavaScript and want to have to think very hard about what the language does.

Not really sure what the issue was, may be that php.microformats.io has been returning a bit slower than expected. But either way there's now webmention sending after a reboot of my post-deploy service 👍🏽

I thought something weird was happening - I've not seen any incoming webmentions since Friday from my own posts, and it seems that my webmention sending post-deploy isn't working.
I'll look into that tonight!

This is an interesting idea - I've not been bitten by it before, but may be worth adding to my dotfiles anyway

Version pinning is always a difficult line to walk - you don't want things to change when you're not expecting them to (such as here) but you also don't want to be pinned to really old versions of software, as that increases risk
I had a quick look at the API but it doesn't seem to have a way to look at the user's play history. May require more digging, or using something like Last.FM
