When my RSS reader gets empty I tell myself that I need more blogs to follow, to find more interesting people writing interesting things. I'm currently only following 44 blogs so am always on the lookout or accepting recommendations. It used to be hundreds back before "the great purge" when I cleane...

Hej Colin, how about adding a blogroll [again]? I mean it’s hard to get recommendations when everybody hides the own feeds, no? 🙂

(And yes I’m aware that my own is far behind – the list of blogs I read changes so much that I really need an automated sync to blogroll for this o0)

Adding Webmentions to My Website by Martin SchneiderMartin Schneider (martinschneider.me)
Webmention is a webstandard that enables websites to notify each other when content is mentioned, liked or linked. This is my little journey how I have implemented them into my website. One reason to write posts like this one is sharing my learnings and I’m looking forward to get as much feedback ...

So good to see the growing 🙂 Thanks for considering . It’s an ongoing challenge that probably never pays off for small private websites at all. Anyway, I’ve my disclaimer up – kindly provided by the WordPress plugin – so the only thing to cover are probably backfeed comments. Considering from what sites such backfeeds usually come from – and what privacy disclaimer they run – I’ll simply wait for the first request. Not that hard to print out or get rid of a bunch of table entries, no?

BTW: I couldn’t automatically parse your h-card because it’s not a child of the h-entry. See http://php.microformats.io/ for easier debug.

„> 1000 fehlerhafte Links gefunden“ by Matthias PfefferleMatthias Pfefferle (notiz.blog)
Ich hab was Dummes gemacht! Ich hab mir ein Plugin installiert um fehlerhafte und verwaisten Links auf meinem Blog zu finden und das Ergebnis ist echt frustrierend! Von 5.000 Links sind über 1.000 nicht mehr erreichbar und täglich kommen neue dazu. Noch schlimmer: Es handelt sich fast ausschließl...

I’d like to add why checking for 404 is not enough: https://beko.famkos.net/2020/02/01/48611/

“@killyourfm @fsf I saw that headline and assumed you syndicated/republished it there. Which is a problem. I understand your frustration.”

I really wish _all_ writers would foster a source of truth for their own actions / publications _and_ profiles so that profile equivalence and syndication can be distinguished by anyone at all. come to mind.

“A good video that sums up why home made and low budget ventilator designs are pretty much useless. https://t.co/9AXUCrZ5is”

Thanks for posting. I learned a lot on ventilators from this video 👍 I mean I knew in theory how lungs work but wasn’t aware of the pesky details at all. Did it slip my mind or did Dr. House fail me on this? 😅

Solved the problem of the Frozen songs by an author (IN FULL FLOW)
Erwin Blom, a well known figure in digital media circles in NL, kindly offered his online courses for free for a month. As I'm low on payed for work right now I grabbed the opportunity to dive into his courses to build digital stuff. This morning I watched his instructions how

Innovative 👍 I stumbled over FreeTube recently. It’s still on my todo list but it may be suitable for you as well.

Any ideas how to Spotify to USB btw? My kids have old fashioned players to listen to music whenever they like. I don’t want smart devices for this.

I could use youtube-dl but that’s a lot of work for all the songs kids may want on their sticks.

“@thelinuxEXP @killyourfm @omgubuntu Would also be a great way for non programmers to contribute. Creating press kits for those in need.”

This discussion is gold. have the very same problem. And there are solutions for this like http://dopresskit.com/

Making it clear what material is supposed to be shared [add a licence!] makes it a lot easier for writers and publishers to pick from.
