The only problem is that the industry makes folks feel like they need to, which isn't fair for people who don't have time ie who have other commitments like children
A fairly easy result for #HomebrewWebsiteClub - don't try resending Webmentions (for two weeks) if the target doesn't support Webmentions
Although I don't condone Vim bashing (as a Vim user, and because it quite often tells you how to exit) these are pretty good
Tomorrow's fun will be reinstalling my laptop to remove BTRFS. It's over a year since I said I would (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2018/12/22/leaving-btrfs/) but I've not got round to it, and I've messed up my docker install
It's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tonight! https://www.jvt.me/events/homebrew-website-club-nottingham/2020/01/08/
I'm not 100% what I'm working on - it may be finalising my Meetup.com Brid.gy integration, or may be just on my own site!
I will be attending
Hey @Meetup - further to my comments in https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2019/12/klwyi/ is there any news around when you're going to restrict any OAuth apps that are being used by non-Pro members?
A very interesting read on choosing a license to protect the author's income, which I get, although realistically (at least) the AGPL has been written to ensure that the end users always get the code, not that the authors are protected.
Reminder that it's the first #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham of the decade tomorrow!
Hope to see some of you there for building / working on your personal websites https://www.jvt.me/events/homebrew-website-club-nottingham/2020/01/08/
Been watching #GoodOmens this evening - lighthearted, tongue in cheek, and some wonderful David Tennant
But they were on a break π
Licensing is hard, especially when projects you use want to protect their end users and have gone for strong copyleft licenses like the GPL/AGPL
An interesting read on creating a extensible platform which isn't truly private, vs a walled garden with true privacy, and the tradeoffs we have to consider.
This is what I started doing when I got my personal domain all those years ago, as it allowed unlimited aliases and a catch-all address. There's nothing better than seeing some spam coming from an email that tells you exactly who sold/leaked your data.
Yes! Not only that, but the power of the #IndieWeb https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ - I'd recommend coming to a #HomebrewWebsiteClub to work on your website https://indieweb.org/next-hwc

Netlify Billing Request: Extra Bandwidth Allowances (1 mins read).

A copy of an email I've sent to the Netlify team about improving billing for bandwidth allowances.
Watched John Wick 3 last night. Great movie, shame we missed it in the cinema - even more ingenious ways to kill people, and we learn more about the underground, too
Is anyone aware of anywhere that the contract for #Netlify's "Outgoing Webhook" is documented? I can't seem to find it on https://docs.netlify.com/site-deploys/notifications/#outgoing-webhooks or https://open-api.netlify.com/

So I started to write a short 2019 in review blog post before realising I should finish my 2018 in review post first.
Woops! It's mostly written, but a bit longer than this years will be
