Seems like the Mastodon POSSE from my Known site is borked. Argh. Something to fix again this week.

And the "Twitter profile linking is my online identity" is even worse for authors, for example https://www.refactoringui.com/, where Adam Wathan and Steve Schoger's identities can only be known to people already on Twitter.
But to be fair, this site is from the times when being on Twitter was still considered cool and a public good.

Reading "The Shape Of Things to Come" and realizing just how lucky I am to have known no war in my younger life. That's all I wish for, that my son gets a chance to live his life full and content at least for as long as I have.

To do: fix Known CMS to actually post the full content on longer status updates to Mastodon, so I don't look like I am spamming links back to my own website so much.

Who do you trust more to manage your private mobile devices, to provide security and theft protection? A global well-known company offering services for free, but in return of access to your accounts, or a smaller, not so well known, privately held company which you pay a monthly fee for?

writes down their thoughts and notes in a file before tooting / tweeting them? Kind of like adding a cooling down phase before publicly posting? I use my Known CMS site for this too.

Johan Bové

hmm, somehow I can't reply on posts on Mastodon from my Known site. Will have to dig up ye old error logs.

Looking for a new desktop or laptop? Perhaps you don't really need a new device at all? I can highly recommend the machines offered by GreenPanda, known by some from the Reteq certificates. No affiliation here or commission. Just a happy customer who wants to contribute his share in lowering the amount of Co2 in the air. https://www.greenpanda.de/

Syndicating the posts from my site now also to the on my new profile thanks to the Known plugin: https://github.com/danito/KnownMastodon

I'm trying to avoid following accounts on Twitter with thousands of followers in preference to people I know and have less followers. The tweets of very popular accounts will pass through your timeline eventually anyway through your network. This way the algorithm makes some space for the lesser known people who also have interesting things to say.

Testing a new browser gave me the incentive and opportunity to clean up my pile of "bookmarks". Wondering how most people use and organise their browser ? Do you keep everything in separate folders? Never gotten around in using one of those "pinning" services, even-though I've been "bookmarking" interesting things using my "Known CMS" site, but I don't organise those properly using tags.

Replied to a post on werd.io :

Very happy to read this! I've had the Bootstrap vs a modern framework issue on my to do list for a while now, but family, work and other stuff just kept me pushing this downwards. Also perhaps the future for Known was well, unknown. That you are still seeing the potential of Known, makes me want try to invest real time on it again. Won't make any promises yet.

Johan Bové

I think I got my first spam like on Known, but then it disappeared again. Deleted by Akismet?

Johan Bové

Anyone else having an error through the Known endpoint when publishing a twitter status link as a like in Known? The logs are empty even-though I've set all the debugging and logging options.

loglevel = 4
# logging = 4
debug = true

Running Known with 256 MB memory instead of 128 MB and all seems to be loading faster.

Johan Bové

This Known site is becoming my public digital memory system.

Note to self: fix the wysiwyg post editor in Known and replace it with the Markdown editor.

Johan Bové

Upgraded to Known v1.2.2 this evening. All seems well. Lost my customizations, but was on purpose. Starting from a clean slate. Awesome how it all still - just works -.

Johan Bové

It's probably time for a Known CMS upgrade to the latest version soon.

Johan Bové

Seems like is not dealing with given "category" tags properly as passed from "indiepub" POST requests and this is messing up the tags of the content on the site. Going to have to do some tricky fixing in the MySQL or create a "fix the tags in the items" admin page.
