one day late edition. again. I spent the last week in my hometown at my grandma’s summerhouse. I didn’t take time off from work since I had a lot of commitments to meet, and couldn’t swim as much as I’d have liked. Anyway, I’m grateful to be able to swim at all! Last week I...

Nothing important Supports Webmention

That was a huge MISS for Chris Martinez (rare for him but this one really is bad). This movie is one star out of five.

A website from over 20 years ago is preserved in a folder of text files

While looking for something else, I came across a folder on my Mac called “free for X”. In it were a bunch of plain text HTML files which together made up a Mac freeware website that was the predecessor to thriftmac. So I uploaded it to a server, opened the home page and ...

Many of the questions about RSS.chat center on how do we make this centralized. I don't want this, I want feed readers to add some features and then we can connect these systems together in a million different ways. They just have to think differently about subscription lists. Not radically different, even.

Confession: I still drive a Tesla.

Wanted to switch but nothing I tried is as great a driving experience the Model Y is. Instead I've had a lot of fender benders and haven't gotten any of them fixed.

  1. Backed into a charging station.
  2. An act of terrorism (exaggerating) but I caused it, and paid for it, dented the well over right rear wheel.
  3. My right side mirror was pulled off its foundation hitting the side of the garage, used duck tape to keep it going. A new one costs $1000. I like the look.
  4. A deer ran in front of my car and took out the panel over the right front wheel. I was able to force the metal back in. A friend saw the car and said "hit a deer eh?" Yup.

I don't know if it accomplishes anything but to me it feels like retribution of a sort.

You might also be interested in this :)

RSC (Really Simple Conversations) is a social feed where everything is distributed via RSS: posts, as well as replies, entire conversations, and corrections published afterward. Three independent sites can thus participate in the same feed without a common API, without a shared account, and without having to adopt a new protocol: if your site already publishes a feed, it’s already a node in the network.

RSC : et si le web social n'avait jamais eu besoin d'un nouveau protocole ?

Depuis vingt ans, chaque tentative de « réinventer » le web social commence par la même étape : inventer un protocole. XMPP, OStatus, ActivityPub, AT Protocol, Nostr. À chaque fois la promesse est la même, à chaque fois le coût d’entrée est le même : il faut que tout le mond...

Dave Winer and claude have been working on a new social network built on RSS. It’s a very interesting idea and I think it has a lot of potential. I am a big fan of RSS, and this chat supports posts, edits, replies and allows the user to subscribe to their own RSS feed and to...

A note to people who run WordCamp conferences. Get your feed act together. There should be a feed for each conference, and as you ramp up to the big day, the news should flow faster. Help people find other people to network with. Get ideas out that aren't in the conference program.

rss.chat isn't really a product

It's what we used to call a coral reef. A deliberate attempt to get people to do more than it does. To think about the web the way it was meant to be thought of, as small pieces loosely joined, with the emphasis on small. If you have formats and protocols that connect the pieces, you can make anything you want out of the pieces. If we don't try to capture our users, instead we try to serve them.

This all sounds nice in theory, I imagine, but -- there's a practical side to it. I wrote about this in a comment in a thread on rss.chat repo. The key point is this, you can do what you want with the data. And if you want to build new data that includes this stuff, go right ahead. RSS is extensible. It's all about working together in a web of people, because you can't have a web of pages if the developers aren't web'd.

The Kubernetes Scheduler: How a Pod Picks a Node

A Pod isn't running anywhere until something decides which Node it belongs on. Filtering, scoring, taints, and affinity. The mechanics of kube-scheduler, and why Pending is a scheduling failure, not a mystery.
