@banjofox SHIP IT! 😉

@kd0bpv ah, interesting. Both good and bad, but good to know how it works.

So your day isn't sad, here's a link to the smiley. It is from the SVG spec: https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/images/filters/smiley.png

@kd0bpv Cool, yeah, I got a notification (which was surprising).

It seems to unshare the graphic I had to "delete" it, which was a bit odd. I'm assuming I couldn't delete it on your instance.

I also unshared to folder, curious how that gets handled on your side. Do you get prompted to save the cached files? Or just not get updates?

@kd0bpv never used that feature before. I sent you a smiley.

@shel the Get Together folks are trying to make a federated events server that could be hosted however you want. I don't think they use AP yet, but would be interested.

If you're interested, you should chat with @mhall119

@ryangorley mixed feelings, I don't think it is if we're clear about it not being. But I don't know if that makes it not a good candidate for "brochure level" stuff on the site.

Tonight in fact I was using the gallery to find a post that I remembered and was a little worried about people looking over my shoulder. Nothing bad, but probably more risqué than one would expect at a hockey rink.

@ARJules elephant? https://mastodon.social/@MJBlacke/99751519921263305

@cwebber @lain I understand your point, but it seems that anyone implementing is going to ask: "How can I make it work with Mastodon?" The result is that Mastodon is effectively defining the spec. Everyone is going to end up bug-for-bug compatible.

@lain @cwebber that's a good pointer. I wasn't sure what the "AcitivityPub way" is, or whether those were just older protocols supported.

@deadsuperhero it is configurable in Mastodon: https://github.com/tootsuite/documentation/blob/master/Running-Mastodon/Serving_a_different_domain.md#configuring-domainorg

Here is how I set that up in Jekyll: https://gould.cx/ted/blog/2018/01/29/Jekyll-and-Mastodon/

@cwebber I've been looking at the ActivityPub spec and I can't figure out how to get from an address like "AT ted AT gould.cx" to "https://social.gould.cx/@ted". It seems like ActivityPub takes over after you have that URL, but there is something before it. Could you give me a kick in the right direction please?

Like that this battery specifies it shouldn't be thrown away in the EU. I'm the US, should be okay.

@xuv I think you're gonna need a bigger RSS reader.

@david_ross @tinker I use Gitlab for my site as well. One technical reason is that the pages is done with full CI, so I've added things like link checkers and other features to my generated site. You've got good points about centralization, but there are technical wins too!

@shellkr @tinker what do you use for maps? I have yet to find a good replacement for Google Maps.

I'd also add Nextcloud instead of Google Drive, Google Office and Google Calendar.

Excited about the new turned-based Battletech game coming out. Really disappointed they delayed the Linux version, seems like an insult to the backers that run Linux.

Light hearted list that was fun to read. Didn't realize she was Ann Richards' daughter. — https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/commentary/2018/03/27/10-parenting-tips-from-cecile-richards-who-ran-planned-parenthood-while-raising-3-kids

@paco heh, yeah. I did it because it is cheaper, you only have to pay one filling fee. 😉
