Read it Later, the way I always wanted it :
So my indiekit blog is where I publish on the open web but also syndicate to Bluesky/Fediverse/Linkedin when I want to but its also a content hub, for example my blogroll or my podroll or even Musics I listened can be used as source that I might want to save for later, but there is more, if you are reading this, you won’t be able to see it, but there are “save” buttons for logged in users in every place where content is aggregated from outside of my blog, this include my new Microsub RSS feed reader and even my new indiekit ActivityPub integration, I can basically “save for later” anything I want to check back later without having to use a bookmarklet or a browser extension or a third-party service !
I used to pollute my “Bookmarks” section with “saved for later” items, now I’m going to able to stop that and use my new “read it later” plugin for indiekit.

Petite histoire HelloFresh
Je ne suis pas client HelloFresh. Je n’ai jamais commandé quoi que ce soit chez eux et pourtant qu’elle ne fût pas ma surprise de tomber sur 2 domiciliations, ce même mois de février, de 39 € chacune sur le compte de l’association Chardons Bleus.
Du coup j’essaie de les contacter, par téléphone, on me donne un email pour régler le problème, a qui j’explique la situation déjà expliquée par téléphone, on me demande de repartager mes coordonnées clients (Je ne suis pas clients) je partage mes coordonnées personnelles afin qu’ils se rendent compte que je n’en suis pas un de leurs clients. Et puis silence.
Je les relance dans la chaîne d’email.
Réponse : en gros, c’est :
vous n’êtes pas clients donc cette domiciliation ne nous concerne pas plus que ça, voyez avec votre banque ou avec les autorités compétentes.
😯 bref j’ai bloqué HelloFresh via mon app bancaire.
HelloFresh m’a volé 2 x 39 euro et HelloFresh s’en fout complètement.
J’étais pas client, ce qui est clair c’est que je ne risque pas de le devenir, à vie.

kind of fascinating that I can browse the Fediverse, explore Public API timeline from my own Fedify powered reader and do so without storing much of the streaming content coming from my near 3K following or public instance api timelines.
-
Vraiment @cert_eu@infosec.exchange , un blog sans flux RSS ?
-
Near 300 deployments, meaning code changes, commit, npm publish, rebuild docker images, deploy, to reach the state I’m now with my blog :) it has been a wilde ride !
-
Finally fixed it, now all your reactions against my posts will display your nice facepile/avatar on my interaction page and below each full post

What if I could deploy my own Bluesky PDS and selfhost my Bluesky data in the same way I turned my Indiekit powered blog into an ActivityPub instance overnight with Fedify ?

I wish I had more UI/UX skills… when I look at the design of a bunch of the blogs I follow via my Microsub reader I feel my blog is completely outdated in terms of design.
-
Really liking the flexibility I built into my indiekit + eleventy deployment where I can create content in different ways :
- markdown files
- micropub create post endpoint store data in MongoDB
- static html serving like demo
-
One of the best hack I did to my Eleventy theme with Alpine is to store my session in the browser localStorage and then display to authed users a FAB, with contextual web actions on any part of the site :
- create a new posts, bookmark, article etc…
- edit the current post
this allow me to search anything via the frontend to edit, it works on mobile or desktop and its a life-saver !
-
I can now configure my h-card from the indiekit backend :)

Curious to see if #Fedify will support Quotes soon…

The first time you click a Fediverse button on my site, you’ll be asked to enter your home instance — in other words, your own Fediverse server. This can be a self-hosted instance or a platform like Mastodon, Pleroma, and others.
Once that’s set, clicking on an “Also on” syndicated post link will open the corresponding URL directly inside your own Mastodon instance. From there, you’ll see it as a native Mastodon post, which means you can reply, boost, or favourite it just like any other post in your timeline.
The same logic applies to the “Fediverse” sidebar widget. It reads the instance you previously saved in your browser’s localStorage and uses it to trigger a remote follow request directly from your own Mastodon account.

One of the downside of self-hosting one’s own ActivityPub server is the loss of Brid.gy backfilling social reactions to one’s content.
This is why I developed this indiekit plugin, it basically translate ActivityPub activity on one’s content into JF2 format so that this page can aggregate all the interactions with my content in one place. It also provide an API so that I can display a webmention widget in the frontend that Eleventy + AlpineJS can use to display new interactions live on the frontend.

Added a bunch of colors to my blog, per post types, I’m far from the frontend design I dream about but the important is, its getting better and its home made ! https://rmendes.net/blog/

Finally fixed my green check rel=me link !

juste un peu marre de voir du Epstein partout pendant que l’invisibilité de ses victimes continue. de quoi les systèmes de Justice ont besoin pour arrêter Robert Spatz alors même qu’il fait appel d’une énième décision de Justice, suite à sa condamnation de 2022, tout en étant vautré dans la récidive?
