📝 notes
- As much as I love working with Wordpress for blogging, I have come to realize that I’m more of a microblogger with maxiblogging tendencies.
- Wordpress coupled with the ActivityPub and IndieWeb plugins are NOICE. And all that works just fine natively over here too.
- Not sure how importing all my junk and republishing here will work… The short linking will break I’m sure unless I can bug @manton to be bothered looking at the shortlink fields in my tables and making a secondary permalink.
- Sidenote: It’d be a good idea to get a handle on the permalink structure and having secondary links in micro.blog anyway IMO.
- I need to see if there’s a way to make a test blog and do the import first, fix what’s broken, then switch over to the finished version by having a temp URL… Like preview and production at my job.
- Oh, and Bridgy compatiblity things. Some of the crossposting is done on the backend by default I think, but how can I tweak some thangs… 🤔
RIParadise John Amos.
Really glad to see Shōgun win some Emmy hardware last night. I need to go back and rewatch it now. (And also complete it as I think I only got through 4 episodes)
Ok, I think @snarfed and @manton might have fixed the issue with not being able to follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy here…
So this is a test to try and cross the bridge. 🤞🏾
I figured this was coming eventually. The Shinkansen has no grade crossings and is essentially a long distance high speed metro line when it comes to how it’s operated. Signaling already uses ATC with auto-parking at major stops to help line up doors with platform gates. And with the exception of the Yamagata Shinkansen, it shares no tracks with any conventional zairaisen train services. #TokyoTrainNerd #TrainsOfJapan
Turns out it these Mr Beast Feastables ain’t half bad!
OK, Back to testing some things out here in micro.blog land. I want to take the next week or so and see if I can put the main feed over here.
I can always jump around if things don’t work out the way I want them anyway, right?
(…plus I need to redo the VPS my blog is sitting on and nixify it. )
for some reason, I’m into online crossword puzzles now.
Did anyone else watch Halo season 2? It ended weirdly AF… Granted I’ve never played the games beyond the first XBox version and like 3 levels. Am I missing something?
UPDATE: I went and played a few speed-runs of Halo and Halo 2 to get a better understanding of the lore; I get it now. 👍 The hard part about narratives based on video games is the limited understanding and background that average people will have with the franchise.
There should never be major plot shifts without explanation and exposition (really in any film TBF). But with this genre, it’s at the expense of the superfans/stans and their hardline needs to follow cannon succinctly and precisely as they experienced the source material.
But since its a game, that kinda means everyone playing through gets a semi-unique experience in the first place!
It’s that time of year again! Boy-type still likes the sushi for his birthday meal so that’s what we did 🍣 (I enjoy his birthday as much as he does 😆)
A new use for micro.blog:
Follow your other websites and fediverse accounts and you can make all the posts embeddable when you need to refer to something:

Is what’s happening in the screenshot from the desktop app on my side or micro.blog’s side? I don’t have any issues when using other micropub sites like Quill or Sparkles…
That’s a post from my main site above now embeded as a quote here. 😊
RSS IS DEAD is an RSS Feed Finder that works with ActivityPub “@@” addresses to see who you, me, and everyone else follows.
It also helped me discover the other topic/kind feeds emanating from this here WordPress powered blog/Fediverse instance!

Was suprised with homemade brunch on my day off by SuperWife. It’s very effective against the Doldrums!
The enshittification of my country is depressing and tiring.
I just lost my micro sized YubiKey as I was pulling it out of the laptop. I don’t touch it, except to sign in or swap the spare one over to renew its certificates. Which is what I was doing. Damn thing bounced twice on the dark-stained hardwood floor and vanished underneath something. Or into the universe’s tiniest black hole. Or a Lilliputian ganked it and is using it as a table. 🤷🏾♂️
I’m over this constant Wordpress memory issue. I spent all day yesterday getting rid of plugins, optimizing the theme and making things as lean as possible… and still got an “out of memory” error while I slept.
At this point, I may as well look into migrating this over to micro.blog and paying the premium fees because its cheaper than stepping up to the next higher tier of resources needed on my VPS to mitigate.
This is just a test for webmentions for my main site using an updated comments plugin for threaded replies.
(sorry in advance for the #testing spam! 😓🚧)
…aaaannnddd my last nerve has officially been prodded.
I will be exploring another blogging engine in 2024.
All I did was try to post a picture, and now I get bupkiss.
Just now checking out Lilihub for micro{dot}blog and am gonna wish @heyloura can find time/motivation/money/whatever she needs to make it so it can also post to my Wordpress blog somehow. This is AMAZING WORK!
Been a busy weekend for sure, but personally [https://starrwulfe.xyz/b/1Fbe]{I think the new blog was an upgrade!)
Random Observations from the Fediverse No.1:
…There are a lot (and I cannot stress this enough,) a lot of really small fediverse instances and they are showing off all the numerous Top Level Domain Names that are out there that I could never think of that many uses for.
…Theres instances that end in .rodeo, .boo, .fail, .hair, .ninja…
And my favorite: .ooo as in 🫢
