IndieWeb post types
This content type is full of IndieWeb post types, which are all content types which allow me to take greater ownership of my own data. These are likely unrelated to my blog posts. You can find a better breakdown by actual post kind below:
SSH to EC2 instances via AWS Lambda
An interesting approach - but I wonder why you'd implement like so (requiring SSH usage) instead of the Systems Manager's run-command

A safer way to parse YAML by removing some of the more dangerous parts of YAML parsing - an interesting approach that means you don't need everyone well-versed in the minutiae of the YAML spec!

Since setting up the ability to syndicate posts from my website to other sites automagically the other day, I've been manually ticking the boxes in my posting UI, which isn't the best experience.
So I've now got it to automagically syndicate to Twitter any notes (like this one) or interactions such as likes/replies/reposts on Twitter, so folks still on Twitter are able to see the content I'm publishing to my site, too.

The future of the web, isn't the web
A good read by Terence about how the Semantic Web and using metadata (be it Schema.org, microdata or Microformats) will build a more usable and interconnected life

I like that idea - automagically parsing the data from a URL is reasonable, and is mostly automatic but a little manual so there's the ability to correct issues (as mentioned in https://aaronparecki.com/2019/12/21/12/ )
Would we also be interested in iCal feed parsing, or just stick with MF2 for now?

This is really amazing - great work on this!
Out of interest, would there be any interest in the ability to syndicate events from our own websites to https://events.indieweb.org so there's a bit less manual process for adding them to the official list?
Aw thank you! It's my last day in Notts today tho so unfortunately won't be able to make it. Hope its good though - did you go see it with work on Thurs or is today your first one?

Warning about Java's `DateTimeFormatter`
A subtle and not so fun source of bugs if you're affected - worth investigating!

Could be that your reply is an h-cite
maybe? So parsing it isn't happy? Odd as there's definitely a url in the body that references my post so it should be ok
No spoilers:
Just seen Star Wars Episode 9 and damn JJ did it - what a great ending to the series. Expect more when the spoiler embargo lifts.
I'd seen some tweets similar to this and was a bit apprehensive but it was so good. Wanna go see it again!
Interesting - I'll look at giving Granary a go over the next few days and see if it's what I'm looking for
Thanks Chris - I'll look into it as both you and Aaron have recommended it.
As an FYI this post didn't send me a webmention and when sending it manually it said no_link_found
- not sure if it's a known issue?
What do all you lovely #IndieWeb folks use to consume Twitter? I'd like to hook some of my favourite people into my reader but not sure the best way to do it

So long Disqus, hello Webmention

I will not be attending DevOps Notts - January 2020 on
I will be attending Lightning Talks - AWS Nottingham on

Just trimmed my site's build/test/deploy pipeline's lifecycle from 10 minutes to about 5 minutes. A fair saving but still not as speedy as I want.
My next job is to see whether I can cache the images on my own infra running a GitLab-runner, but I seem to be having some difficulty getting it running with a Unix file socket rather than a TCP socket - a shame because in the past the GitLab-runner has worked literally out of the box

Well, it's official - I'm on holiday for the rest of the decade 🙌🏼
I've been using GitLab for almost 4 years now, largely for reasons stated in https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/03/25/why-you-should-use-gitlab/ but also for all the extra stuff they've built on top over the years.
Originally it was just because of private repos, but evolved into a love of the platform being built in a way that folks can contribute, unlike GitHub.

For anyone having issues not seeing #MrRobot Season 4 Episode 11 in their Fire TV / Prime video account, try skipping through Ep 10 until it autoplays 11
