In case you missed my post from day 3 of #blogtober: It’s about a legendary piece of gear that shaped the sound of Abbey Road studios – and what it all has to do with building for the #Web. 🤓
…… aaand we’re back. The “human-friendly” #webmention endpoint returned a 302 instead of a 202 for *all* http requests. Now it distinguishes between general requests and those coming from an HTML form. Still not sure whether this is the best solution, but it works for now. 🤔

I somehow get the feeling that we will soon feel very lucky to have an open, European social network with Mastodon.

Looks like he ended up as a producer for the Foo Fighters, Deftones, and some band called “Rush”.
