FeedCity

Week 29 - Finished Fry's Mythos, juggling five games at once (attention span: missing), and visited Croome Court & Hanbury Hall.

There are 4 rss.chat servers – neat (rss.chat, demo.rss.chat, rsschat.andysylvester.com and perstitio.us)! The latest (perstitio.us) actually incorporates feeds from other sources besides the rss.chat instance – interesting! The author has posted an essay describing this approach. Two rss.chat forks: xicubed and hal-nine Frank Meeuuwsen shares some thoughts on rss.chat, in addition to John Johnston. Decided […]

There is a Ideas markdown file in the RSC GitHub repo but I want to share on my blog some of the things currently in development : Better user management Users should be able to cancel and remove their accounts and cascade removal of their posts and replies. better moder...

Stumbled upon a few (local) #AI tools that made me really curious

John Johnston got inboundRss working, so now he can automatically post to his blog from demo.rss.chat. These are the kinds of things that "just work" when standards are used to connect to the outside world. WordPress, as I've been saying so long, has all the right hooks to be the place where text and publishing meet on the web. They've been reluctant to step into that role, but I think it'll be realllly good for Matt's company and the community. A lot of developers can come in via the web. That's how I personally approach WordPress. A place to send text so it can be widely read. A growing foundation for a community to build on, and would imho help the web enormously.

Howard Rheingold is just the kind of person rss.chat was designed it for. And here he is asking what it is. Very fortuitous. And if you're wondering how a person should think of it in July 2026, it's for you too. ;-)

I am longtime friends and an admirer of Howard Rheingold, who expressed an interest in RSS.chat. I asked Claude to read my blog posts and summarize, in the third person. RSS.chat is a small social network built from the web's own parts. It looks like a chat room or Twitter ...

Today on rss.chat we are knocking off quick hit bug fixes. We've been focusing on big hit examples for the last few sessions.

The Frankfurt School has a special place in history. It’s an object of hatred for both ends of the political spectrum. Leftists, especially Marxists, hate them for diluting revolutionary thought and creating a version of the Left that is “compatible” with the capitalist ruli...

I was reading a post on Hacker News - a list of rules for being a new manager. Good rules. But some of them really are rules for new managers. I've been watching Gotham Chess's "slow-run" series, and it gets at this. He starts from a complete beginner rating and climbs, show...

Just saw the notice about the rss.chat example inboundRss for wordpress . I must say I hadn’t thought about going that way. I had wondered about POSSE from WordPress to rss chat.  Currently micro.blog does a great job of posting items from my feed to mastodon and bluesky. I’ve also used FeedWordPress to pull rss […]

During the street party, my doorbell rang four times. I didn't see who rang it: if I peered through the gap in the bedroom curtains, I might see a neighbour peering back. I wished I had parked my car over at the multi-storey the day before, so

My weekly blog post. Links this week include a site where you receive a message but first you have to leave one, paintings on paper towels and a virtual museum of mechanical keyboards you can actually "type" on. Another cross stitch project has been completed! I talk about cross stitch drama, slogging through AI while searching for an image and an upcoming visit to the doctor. Plus, as usual, I listened to, read and watched things.

Using passkeys means I don't have to remember passwords, and it's faster to log in this way!

Also great for when you use a dummy profile to log into a video conference app for presentation 👀

ตั้งแต่ใช้ passkeys ชีวิตคือดี ไม่ต้องคิดเยอะเวลาต้อง log in กดปุ่มเดียว แตะ security key แล้วเข้าได้เลย

โดยเฉพาะตอนต้อง present แล้วต้องแชร์จอ ก็ใช้ dummy user profile แล้วใส่ passkey ทีเดียวจบ ไม่ต้องจำ password

git worktree add ../hotfix main checks out a second working copy of the repo in a sibling directory, sharing the same .git history. Handy for jumping onto a hotfix without stashing whatever you’re mid-way through.

I thought a little more about the luvsound backend tonight. Using plain text files as the canonical representation for each entity: eg releases, orders, etc. Doing reads and writes can be done directly in the filesystem, or through a cache of each record in an sqlite datab...
