Test reply to a post of my own.

On the mothership, could @timharford be the Undercover #Indieweb ber? www.jeremycherfas.net/blog/the-…

As I don’t feed my sourdough daily, or take it for walks, or keep kosher much of what Rob Eshman says he learned about his sourdough contemplating Passover does not apply. But it makes for an interesting read nevertheless.

Some people have good examples of flat file with dynamic backlinks and stuff. I’ve seen versions with Jekyll and others mentioned.

.@FoodSecurityUK I believe your Feedburner account has been hijacked because I am getting scads of spammy garbage in my RSS reader

Thanks for the notice. Just checked, and there doesn’t seem to be a problem. Maybe it was temporarily unavailable? I’ve kind of abandoned it, for now, to concentrate on the version I am hosting myself. But I don’t want to shut it down until #WithKnown makes it possible to export data from that version and import it to the master. Not that there’s anything all that valuable there, but still …

I rather like the idea of a “food mirage”. The Depressing Truth About Hipster Food Towns | Mother Jones www.motherjones.com/politics/…

No problem. You did see the main article that the leader was commenting on? www.economist.com/news/inte…

Not going to listen to the podcast; life is way too short for that. But a couple of #indieweb quotes from My WordPress:

“We’re trying to revitalize the independent web,” Matt Mullenweg said. He’s 33 now. “It’s not like these big sites are going anywhere. They’re fantastic. I use all of them, but you want balance. You need your own site that belongs to you… like your own home on the Internet.”

So, how about total indiewebness in the basic WordPress core and default theme?

“Other sites provide space,” he said. “They provide distribution in exchange for owning all of your stuff. You can’t leave Facebook or Twitter and take all of your followers with you.”

That’s why he recommends having your own website. It’s yours. Not Facebook’s. Not Business Insider’s or Huffington Post’s. It’s yours.

But no mention of which comes first? Does it even matter?

Time Magazine offers its “Best Podcasts 2017” and it is absolutely as dull as you might imagine it would be. These people need to get out more. time.com/4709592/b…

I got excited when I saw Chris Aldrich’s link to an article “In praise of quinoa” in The Atlantic. Synchronicity and all that. Turns out, it isn’t in The Atlantic, but just the old Economist leader on the subject.

Heigh ho.

@mfbellemare Happy to change that. Thanks and kudos to Luc Christiaensen.

Facts about African agriculture. Kudos to @mfbellemare and his coeditor and contributors.

I am really enjoying and learning from @SceneOnRadio whiteness series with John Biewen. #trypod
