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:

I've received my data from Spotify! Once I'm home and have had dinner, I'll get hacking on it to see what they've got for me and whether I can reproduce my Spotify Wrapped myself, for historic years, too!

It’s Time to Get Personal

This is a great read about the things that being in the https://indieweb.org/ (Independent Web) can empower you with, and the ownership and agency that it affords you.

I'd recommend a read of https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/07/22/why-website/ and https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ for a bit more info, too.

Wat

This is a brilliant talk about the quirks of JavaScript, from a number of years ago.

Although it's fun to hate on JavaScript, it can also be seen about other languages.

Definitely worth a watch if you've never seen it before, or are working with JavaScript and want to have to think very hard about what the language does.

Not really sure what the issue was, may be that php.microformats.io has been returning a bit slower than expected. But either way there's now webmention sending after a reboot of my post-deploy service 👍🏽

 Note

I thought something weird was happening - I've not seen any incoming webmentions since Friday from my own posts, and it seems that my webmention sending post-deploy isn't working.

I'll look into that tonight!

Choose Your Docker Base Image Wisely

Version pinning is always a difficult line to walk - you don't want things to change when you're not expecting them to (such as here) but you also don't want to be pinned to really old versions of software, as that increases risk

Being in First Class on a train is great and all (only £2 more expensive than an open return - bargain!) but they can't make tea correctly. They put the milk in first!!

After seeing my Spotify Wrapped playlist for the year, and some of the usage stats, I think I'm definitely going to be writing an application to get that data out for myself and my own usages
