Happy #HomebrewWebsiteClub from Nottingham!
A fairly easy result for #HomebrewWebsiteClub - don't try resending Webmentions (for two weeks) if the target doesn't support Webmentions
Although I don't condone Vim bashing (as a Vim user, and because it quite often tells you how to exit) these are pretty good

Tomorrow's fun will be reinstalling my laptop to remove BTRFS. It's over a year since I said I would (https://www.jvt.me/posts/2018/12/22/leaving-btrfs/) but I've not got round to it, and I've messed up my docker install
It's #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham tonight! https://www.jvt.me/events/homebrew-website-club-nottingham/2020/01/08/
I'm not 100% what I'm working on - it may be finalising my Meetup.com Brid.gy integration, or may be just on my own site!

I will be attending Community project evening! on
Hey @Meetup - further to my comments in https://www.jvt.me/mf2/2019/12/klwyi/ is there any news around when you're going to restrict any OAuth apps that are being used by non-Pro members?
Choosing a license for GoatCounter
A very interesting read on choosing a license to protect the author's income, which I get, although realistically (at least) the AGPL has been written to ensure that the end users always get the code, not that the authors are protected.

Reminder that it's the first #HomebrewWebsiteClub Nottingham of the decade tomorrow!
Hope to see some of you there for building / working on your personal websites https://www.jvt.me/events/homebrew-website-club-nottingham/2020/01/08/

As I published this to my site first, it makes more sense to tag her URL, but I need to get some rewriting for Twitter syndication so it tags her Twitter account - all in good time!
Been watching #GoodOmens this evening - lighthearted, tongue in cheek, and some wonderful David Tennant
This is an interesting one, because I've recently been very frustrated with Firefox and captive portals, as it attempts HTTPS first, then ends up retaining HSTS - it's a difficult one to get right though, and I agree that attempting HTTPS first is a better idea.

This Is Why You Always Review Your Dependencies, AGPL Edition
Licensing is hard, especially when projects you use want to protect their end users and have gone for strong copyleft licenses like the GPL/AGPL

On Privacy versus Freedom | Matrix.org
An interesting read on creating a extensible platform which isn't truly private, vs a walled garden with true privacy, and the tradeoffs we have to consider.

We should have an email for each website
This is what I started doing when I got my personal domain all those years ago, as it allowed unlimited aliases and a catch-all address. There's nothing better than seeing some spam coming from an email that tells you exactly who sold/leaked your data.

I found that writing short blog posts as a form of documentation https://www.jvt.me/posts/2017/06/25/blogumentation/ helps lots with reducing the barrier to blogging, as well as writing one post a day for Nablopomo https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/11/01/national-blog-post-month/
Yes! Not only that, but the power of the #IndieWeb https://www.jvt.me/posts/2019/10/20/indieweb-talk/ - I'd recommend coming to a #HomebrewWebsiteClub to work on your website https://indieweb.org/next-hwc
Yeah I'd say unfortunately that's then removing the effectiveness of using a CDN. I've seen issues when using two CDNs as it can make cache invalidation etc a bit harder
