Quick test mentioning @manton@indieweb.social. Will delete this. Ignore. 🙂
@numericcitizen You are right. I want to be a little early to show how Micro.blog can be glue between networks. Having said that, it is too early today… Bluesky needs to be publicly available first.
@pcora I think it’s often not just compression but the fact that images might be re-compressed multiple times for the timeline, and the colorspace lost. We’ve made some improvements recently so if an upload already has GPS location stripped, it will do less and may produce better cached images. Will continue to work on this.
We’re enabling ActivityPub for everyone now, not just recent users. This is needed so that you can fully migrate followers away from Micro.blog if you want to in the future. It will cause email notifications for some folks who haven’t used Micro.blog in years, but I think it’s the best way forward.
@warner Sure, totally fine. Thanks y’all. 🙂
Captured a little video of the lightning on the other side of the storm back at home.
Long day. Drove into hail somewhere before Denton, then through a thunderstorm between Waco and Austin. It started with lightning playing in the clouds and then the downpour was on us, destroying visibility as we crept down the highway with our hazard lights on. Kind of a Texas-sized welcome home.
I’ve been a software developer for about 30 years and ChatGPT is the first technology that I can barely comprehend. Still feels like magic. 🪄
Last day on the road as we make our way through a rainy highway 287 in the middle of nowhere.
@mikestanley I’ve rewritten some of that post and added it as an official help page here: help.micro.blog/t/migrati…
@kq The sync works well. The only downside is it only works with Audible. I often get audiobooks from the library via Libby, so those can’t sync, but library e-books will sync with Audible.
@mikestanley There’s no way to post with Ivory yet. You can migrate followers, though. There’s some info about it here (you can ignore the technical bits and just read the first few paragraphs about the instructions).
Finished reading: Elder Race by Adrian Tchaikovsky. A short, great read. đź“š
@jwhevans Cool, enjoy!
@cliffordbeshers Sorry, I’m looking into a couple bugs with scheduling. I don’t think it’s reliable enough yet.
@dwalbert @pimoore @kq Yep, same here. Listening while in the car or out walking has worked best for me.
@kq That happens to me too. I find it hard to focus on audiobooks sometimes until I’m a little ways into it. Also works well for me to start as e-book and then switch to audio to finish it.
Did not finish: Senlin Ascends by Josiah Bancroft. Just couldn’t get into it. Might try to pick it up again some other time in print instead of audiobook. 📚
@ehler Glad it was interesting!
I was reviewing a GitHub pull request today for a potential upcoming feature and was struck by how well it represents my workflow with Micro.blog for major new features. Start with some basic structure for the code, add more pieces, then fix bugs and polish it up. Screenshot:
Great milestone as Kottke.org hits 25 years. Jason writes about the early days:
Enjoyed Colorado this week. Heading back to Texas today… Going to miss my new morning routine of walking to the coffee shop with a view of the mountains in the background.
@koolinus For spaces, do you mean hosted blogs? All the pricing is essentially per blog / domain name, so the $5 hosting includes 1 blog. It does include unlimited posts, pages, uploads, and external feeds. Let me know if I can help clarify anything.
@sgtstretch We decided to slip the cog railway because of that. Maybe next time!
