How green are Europe’s railways? - Jon Worth https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2024/how-green-are-europes-railways---jon-worth Mon, 19 Feb 2024 11:16:49 +0000 post publish 2024-02-19 11:16:49 2024-02-19 11:16:49
I am always impressed when people with really deep knowledge make it easy for me to understand what they are saying, and Jon Worth’s railway analyses are a recent discovery in that realm.A railway trip is green. But the railway sector as a whole in Europe – due to a combination of factors within the industry and political problems – is incapable of making a step change in terms of modal share. In the middle of a climate crisis that is not good enough.He offers reasons why this is so and ways to fix it, but little hope.

Pretend, just for a moment, that you are anti-abortion. You believe that the ideal number of abortions in a country should be zero. Forget your ideological reasons - which countries have the lowest abortion rates? Well, it turns out to be the ones with high levels of sex education, easy access to contraceptives, excellent pre-natal care, and strong parental leave policies. And they all have legal access to abortion services.If you truly want to reduce the number of abortions, there are a wide range of policies which actually work and don't involve demonising women and doctors.Some clear thinking from Terence Eden, on many different things that have something in common: evidence-based policy

Ben Werdmuller has some excellent, coherent thoughts about what writers need to thrive independently and as part of a network. I particularly like the idea of a newsletter-based blogroll, so that if you decide to follow me, you can also sign up to follow people I follow. This could indeed foster increased readership. No idea how hard it would be to build. Mind you, I’m still too scared of losing readers to even offer paid subscriptions.

Very interesting post showing just how blunt an instrument iThenticate is for uncovering actual plagiarism. [N]ot one single match that iThenticate had found amounted to illegitimate copying. In the end, my dissertation’s fraud factor had dropped from 74 percent to zero.Will anyone else do the work to ensure that, for example, copied words are from publications before the target document, or are not part of the bibliography, or are not properly attributed quotations?

It is always good to be reminded that some things that you might dread are not, in fact, dreadful. I wrote about my own first colonoscopy back in 2009 and luckily, unlike Jason, there was no need to refine my technique.The next time, there was less liquid to chug but the routine was essentially the same. Conclusion: just do it.

Very grateful to John Naughton for pointing to this article, which explains the problems and some of the solutions and which seems like an obvious dose of sanity. Ultimately, like many discussions around solutions to climate changes, this is a “yes, and” rather than an “or” choice.

More fascinating ideas from Chris Smaje:Why focus so much on the undeserving poor, rather than on the undeserving rich? Accounts of the undeserving rich do exist in our politics, but they’re not nearly so prominent as their counterpart. The numerous ways that the fortunes of the world’s rich people and rich countries are extracted from the poor ones go too little remarked. Out of wealth comes the power to keep writing the rules in favour of wealth, and thence the need to keep dusting its crumbs from the table in the form of stigmatizing welfare policies.

Die Of Boils, Mr. Sparky Car. – The Audacity of Despair https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2022/die-of-boils-mr-sparky-car-the-audacity-of-despair Wed, 16 Nov 2022 08:51:02 +0000 post publish 2022-11-16 08:51:02 2022-11-16 08:51:02
When a Goebbels or Streicher declares that Jews drink the blood of baptized children, the strategic defense against such is not to join the argument and say, no, actually, they do not, and then drone out an analysis of the Tsarist forgeries in which the claim originates. The solution is to call the lying motherfucker a taintsniffing shitmonger and send his tweet to digital oblivion. Mock, block and roll.I'd certainly pay $8 to read more of this.

Identifying strongly at the same time as feeling even more isolated.People sometimes forget that podcasting, like blogging, started out as an egalitarian medium infused with the anti-hierarchical values of the open-source movement in software. If it is to retain a little of that democratic character in the face of rampant corporatization and Hollywoodization, it needs a flourishing middle class of independent makers who have the freedom to focus on their audio work, follow their creative instincts, and choose honesty over fake neutrality.

Tim Harford's lukewarm review of William MacAskill's book.If he is right, how could I justify giving £10 to a food bank today when I could set up a charitable trust, let the money accumulate centuries of compound interest before lavishing the proceeds on future generations? Are we morally obliged to live at subsistence levels to maximise the resources available for investment and research so our great-great-great-great-grandchildren will thrive? Such questions have been discussed and analysed at great depth in the literature on climate change. It is surprising to see them waved away with a few sentences here. Is it that surprising, really?

In the UK at the moment, the average household consumes 3,731 kWh of electricity in a year. That comes to 10.23 kWh per day. So wouldn’t it be smarter — and fairer — to subsidise consumption up to that level, and let households which consume more face the market rate? And pay for the subsidy by a windfall tax on energy companies.
It won’t happen, of course, for the simple reason that it’s ‘unthinkable’.

It’s not very good at long-term, low-tech cultural adaptation that mitigates against these specific and immediate acute problems from arising.Is there time? Best to assume that there is, and start the transition now.

George Monbiot illuminates and infuriates in equal measure, although I suspect, after reading Chris Smaje’s review, that I will not be paying much attention in future. I have not read Regenesis, so will say nothing about it myself. Two quotes from Chris (of many others I could have chosen):“[A]n alternative, perhaps counterintuitive but more plausible argument [is] that low food prices in fact are a fundamental cause of global poverty.”“[T]here’s no such thing as ‘an inexorable economic logic’, there are just political games with winners and losers – a point the old George Monbiot once understood.”Yup.

Physicists are more playful and less hidebound creatures than, say, biologists—partly, no doubt, because they rarely have to contend with religious fundamentalists challenging the laws of physics. They are the poets of the scientific world.Evolutionary psychologists claim they can explain—as the title of one recent book has it—“why sex is fun.” What they can’t explain is why fun is fun. This could.

John Naughton’s online diary contains a good piece on Wikipedia.Me: “So you’ve found a glaring error on a subject you know about?”Critic: “Yes. Elementary mistake”.Me: “So why haven’t you corrected it?”Critic: Flustered (sometimes), irritated (often), defensive (much too busy)But there’s another aspect to this, which is the wiki-zealots, who are all-too-ready to block the Critic who does have expertise on a topic precisely because they are not members of the Wikitribe.Eventually, those people give up and keep their expertise to themselves, doing Wikipedia and the world a disservice.. Well, Wikipedia is doing itself a disservice, but let’s not quibble.

If I had to guess, it would be that butter makes it sound fancier and nicer than just saying tomato chicken, because tomatoes are in many other chicken dishes, too.

As a podcast producer, I do not, generally, use a lot of music behind speech. That might be because I am a stick-in-the-mud old fart who learned that craft, such as it is, at a well-known broadcaster. Also, it is really difficult, especially when there is no-one I can ask to do it for me. Listening to track after track after track to find the right one is so time-consuming. But maybe that’s a waste of time? You seem to be suggesting that I just bung some smooth jazz under everything.

[W]hile it’s feasible to wander around a smallholding with a trug looking for apples to feed two pigs, it probably isn’t feasible to wander around a largeholding with a trug looking for apples to feed two hundred or two thousand pigs. So there are diseconomies of large scale to the ecological efficiency of the farm’s unbidden bounty.That doesn't mean it isn't worthwhile

Researchers from many disciplines argue that science would get far more bang for its research buck by looking to solve broader societal contributors to disparities. Housing conditions, segregated neighborhoods, poverty, education, the burden of racism, environmental pollutants, and other factors are likely the main contributors to higher rates of disease and disability in marginalized groups. “We support wholeheartedly the study of health disparities from a wide range of disciplines,” says Michael Yudell, professor of community health and prevention at Drexel University. “Our issue is that race is a poor proxy to understand the biological factors underpinning health disparities.”

So, back to basics.
MTAOFC says to peel a strip (I cut a slit) put them in cold water, bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute. Then pull them out three at a time and peel. And by golly if it wasn’t pretty much OK. Better than boiling for longer and better than roasting.

One tip, especially if you have a pizza stone (and you really should have one): put a piece of parchement paper or reusable baking paper under the pizza. It keeps the stone cleaner and makes getting it in and out with the peel easier.

So I got a hybrid. Then, over the past few weeks, the city has been hard at work installing two charging stations on the corner. Currently they are not yet functional, and occupied by gas-guzzling SUVs.
When they are functional, I wonder how the city plans to keep other cars from occupying the spaces. I suspect they won’t.

Another great post from Chris Smaje, and how about those comments?The reason that you see farmers nowadays with combines and not with scythes is because energy and capital are cheap, labour is dear, and most people don’t work the land. Like it or not, I think all this is going to change in the future.I had a scythe once. I loved that thing, and the sheer joy of becoming skilled in using it and keeping it sharp.

The unfried stuff depends on the maize from which it is made and the stuff that accompanies it. In my book, a good polenta is great with just olive oil and salt, and from there only gets better.

A friend and bread client gave me a bag of Khorramshahr flour, so not Kamut, but, with a tacit request, later confirmed, that I baker a loaf.So, here goes. I fed my 75% wholewheat starter, thinking this would be whole too. It isn’t, but that’s ok. Kneads up oK, with a nice pale yellow cast. Seems a bit weak though, even though the packet said 14% protein. Obviously not that great for gluten. We shall see.#khorasan #sourdough

I had been barking up the wrong tree, trying to address photo/edit in order to create a photo post in WithKnown. Going through my old notes, I figured out how to do it through micropub/endpoint instead, which makes a whole lot more sense. Probably I should have started there.Anyway, I know have the bare bones of being able to post automatically to WithKnown from the RSS feed of my Instagram account. Now I “just” need to build out all the rest; read the RSS feed, extract the relevant bits of data, construct the API request and bung it off.Which will probably take forever, but hey.#IndieWeb

I was able to create a Photo post, which included the description. But no image. At a loss, now, because the image from Bibliogram is definitely available and my RSS reader can see it. So I wonder why WithKnown cannot. Or maybe it can, but then fails to insert the image into the post. Also, apologies for spamming the micro.blog timeline.
PESOS from Instagram? https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2020/pesos-from-instagram Thu, 23 Jul 2020 13:16:21 +0000 post publish 2020-07-23 13:16:21 2020-07-23 13:16:21
At last night’s online HWC we talked a bit about getting pictures in and out of Instagram, now that they have become so much stricter about the API. Getting images into Instagram except through approved apps seems to be getting harder and harder, and is probably impossible by now. Getting images out of Instagram is also not obviously easy. But …A new (to me) thing, called Bibliogram, can, under the right conditions, create an RSS or Atom feed from one’s profile. I poked around, and the feed contains a link to the image, caption and date and time. The link to the image works. So maybe …I could send the feed to IFTTT or Zapier or similar, and have that create a post via Micropub to my instance of WithKnown. Or even, if I ever get it working, to my main site, which uses Grav.But I can’t even try for a couple of days.#IndieWeb

Anyone who thinks blogging died at some point in the past twenty years presumably just lost interest themselves, because there have always been plenty of blogs to read. Some slow down, some die, new ones appear. It’s as easy as it’s ever been to write and read blogs.Phil Gyford's lovely look back to SXSW 2000 and the blogging around it.

I’m not saying I agree with absolutely everything in these two articles, but The Economist has an Editorial and a Briefing on what it calls “the global food supply chain” and “the world’s food system”. They make for interesting reading. Spoiler: The Economist doesn’t think it’s broken.

The past 24 hours saw perhaps more activity in the #known IRC channel (yesterday and today) and than I have ever seen before. Near the end of it all, jgmac1106, having previously voluntold me to be the first rotating organiser, voluntold me to “call all of today a meeting of the Open Collective”. Obviously you can’t have a meeting without minutes,[1] so here they are.It all started with jgmac1106’s heartfelt plea that he just wanted to publish his site, “not learn backend engineering” and contemplating starting afresh. LewisCowles raised the question of how to reward Open Source software developers and maintainers, and that started a discussion of what it would take to put Known on a commercial footing.Jgmac1106 was of the opinion that easier install with auto-update was needed. Lewiscowles and jeremycherfas thought that better direction of the project was needed, with a model that offered installation, domain management and updates, for a fee.“Make it Known would be such a great tagline if we could get Sir Patrick Stewart on board.” LewiscowlesThere followed further discussion of operational models, including micro.blog; pay for hosting, including updates, and some backfeed, with a free offering open to IndieWeb if you have a capable site elsewhere.On funding, jeremycherfas related his early experience hosting through IndieHosters and jgmac1106 talked about applying for grants to fund specific pieces of Known development. We played around with numbers, concluding that nobody knew enough to build even an outline business plan. There did seem to be agreement that venture capital should be rejected from the outset, while collectives and cooperatives could provide a more desirable structure, and that any kind of structure needs direction.After a gap, some other people joined the channel and mapkyca explained that right now, a bigger block than money was time as he is working flat out. He also said that the maths does not work out for SaaS.Benatwork then rejoined the meeting and explained in some depth the history of Known, including funding decisions and his original vision.The original intention was to build a community platform that could be hosted securely, with discussion not monitored by the likes of a Facebook. … [I]t was never built to be an indieweb platform or an individual blogging engine from the start. The core idea was: flexible, social feeds that one or more people could contribute to, with per-item access control and integrations both in and out. I still believe that it has most value as a multi-user platform.Major problem: we gave our entire platform away as open source, and it turns out there was a strong correlation between people who wanted to use it and people who didn’t want to pay. Although they were happy to pay for an account on a shared host, which of course didn’t go to us. So it didn’t really work as a scalable business.Benatwork then filled us in on recent developments and why his direct involvement has dwindled, all of which is very understandable, closing with his belief that SaaS is not the way forward.Jgmac1106 then voluntold jeremycherfas to take the lead on setting up monthly meetings for the next three months, as the first rotating organiser.[2] He also shared his idea of having something like Known to offer local media as something they can sell to subscribers as a built in social platform.In response to a question from Aaron_Klemm, Benatwork shared the Known roadmap on github. He also explained some of the past technical decisions and that maybe some of those should be revisited to improve the product as a whole.People shared their different ideas of what Known could become for them, with the question of the current admin tax prominent. Cleverdevil said he would be happy to pay mapkyca to update his site, raising again the potential demand for SaaS.Benatwork’s vision is Known not as a blog CMS exclusively, but rather:What Known can do is create a stream of many different kinds of content, and present it differently based on context. Filtering is a similarly powerful idea. “Show me all posts that are sensor readings and photos tagged with bats, from January 1st.”There was some discussion of other aspects of Known that need attention, including the templating engine, which mapkyca said he hopes to separate completely from the back end.Chrisaldrich raised the possibility of working with Reclaim Hosting to devise a package similar to what Reclaim offers universities, i.e. Reclaim does the heavy lifting for turnkey Known installs while allowing a small group of others to support people who signed up. Aaron_Klemm supported this idea strongly.There was a lot more discussion of various ways in which Known could contribute to community internet literacy and how it might be used alongside other web publishing tools.This summary is an entirely personal capture of the discussion; corrections and comments welcome. (You know how to do that, right?) I’ll suggest some times for an online meeting through the channel.

I’m not actually a designer, and never will be, but I do enjoy trying to make my website pleasing on the eye, even if it is only my eye. So I was happy enough to go along with CSS Naked Day yesterday, not by removing all the stylesheets but by using ViewPage StyleNo Style in Firefox. And there was only one glaringly obvious problem: a hamburger icon that would choke the entire world. Eric Meyer explained:But take away the CSS, and the SVG will become 1200 x 1000 again. That might tell you to resize it for production, sure, and you probably should. But it also points out that browsers will not constrain that image, not even to the viewport. If your window is only 900 pixels wide, the SVG could well spill outside, forcing a horizontal scrollbar. Is that good? Maybe! Maybe not! We might wish browsers would bake something like img {max-width: 100%; height: auto;} into their user-agent stylesheet(s), but maybe that would have unforeseen downsides. The point is, this is a thing about browsers that CSS Naked Day reveals, and it’s worth knowing.At some point, then, I ought at least think about defining the size of that monster. The rest of it, I’m OK with.

Very interesting longish article on the role of the critic today. Artists are increasingly unleashing their fans on critics, and ignorant "critics" are doing a poor job of serving their audience. I don't know, though, how new this phenomenon is. Sure, in the olden days it was hard to get 3 million people issuing death threats, but nor was the relationship between critics and creators always a love-in of mutual respect.Nicely anachronistic writing tool, too.

There have been endless articles on how to work from home. And so many of them are wrong in one way or another, yet each proclaims itself to be true for you and your productivity. The fact is that working from home means a lot of different things, and every individual has to find their own rhythm.

Strange film, shot on Key West, which was why we watched it, with Anna Magnina and Burt Lancaster. She plays a woman widowed by her cheating husband, who eventually falls for Burt. Dated, histrionic, fun. Tennessee Williams wrote. Now, a competition: who was the worst young Italian? Burt, in this, or Warren Beatty in The Roman Spring of Mrs Stone, another Williams classic?

I'm not sure I actually read about any biggest mistake, apart from maybe not being united, in the immensely parochial piece. But I can't disagree with this:Podcasting didn’t start in control of the monied few and gradually become democratized. Podcasting started as a democracy, and now faces the incursion of the monied few.And while I don't mind about the monied few taking over (well, not too much) I do mind that they are even called podcasts. They really are radio on demand, and we storied few shouldn't be judged by the same standards.

Are unsecured cafe wi-fi networks deliberately hostile to VPNs?I’m in Bill’s cafe in Cambridge, which offers ‘free’Wi-Fi — which of course I don’t trust. So I switch on my VPN to find that, mysteriously, it can’t connect to its server. And I’m wondering if this is just some kind of glitch, or a policy by the firm that provides the Wi-Fi. After all, they don’t want clients sending communications that are encrypted and therefore inscrutable for advertising and tracking purposes. In this stuff, only the paranoid survive.I had the same experience as John Naughton yesterday and Friday, signed in to the wifi in a bed and breakfast. No matter what, my VPN (Mullvad) would not connect. Rather than go unsecured though, I signed out of the wifi, but it definitely is strange and I think I am seeing something similar more and more often.

Thanks to an unfollowable stream on Twitter, I came upon the website of Joshua Nudell, an historian with an interest in ancient Greek breads. A post of his, translating from Athenaeus’s Deipnosophistae, refers in passing to “the loaf from rye (or spelt)”. That’s strange. So I left a comment on the post, as follows: I don’t know Ancient Greek, but I do know some ancient and modern cereals, so I am hoping you can elaborate on this. Does the list mean two different loaves, one of rye and one of spelt? Or does it mean that rye is sometimes known as spelt, which would be a very interesting reading indeed.Thanks. This could be interesting.

Galileo and failure. Tim Harford, are you listening? https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2019/galileo-and-failure---all-this Mon, 09 Dec 2019 16:23:35 +0000 post publish 2019-12-09 16:23:35 2019-12-09 16:23:35
Tim Harford certainly belaboured the point that safety systems may make things more prone to failure, what with the Oscars fiasco (two systems bad; three systems worse). Wheeling out Galileo was a masterstroke. Little could he have anticipated that someone who actually knew about statics would be listening..Dr. Drang kindly shared his expertise.I think we can forgive Galileo this lapse. He was creating new knowledge and, given his trouble with the Vatican, was desperate to get it published. Editing was of secondary concern at best.I’m less forgiving of Tim Harford. Anyone who’s taken a statics class could have told him that the story on which he was basing “Galileo’s Principle” didn’t demonstrate that principle.I wonder whether Tim Harford will even see that. Probably not; comments are closed.

As you note, micro.blog already offers a lot of the IndieWeb building blocks. And it recently started to offer an option to register your own domain, addressing another of your points. It’s a good option for people (who can afford it) to explore the possibilities, and the nice thing is you can always move your content somewhere else if you want to. That’s another good reason not to rely on silos.

One starting point is the old proverb, “Don’t wrestle with a pig. You get dirty and the pig enjoys it.” There’s truth in that. We just need to find a version that doesn’t dismiss our opponents as pigs.And there's the rub, really. You have to get over thinking of them as pigs.
And a few hours after that, the magic. We won’t be making this recipe, and we certainly won’t be handling 4kg of dough, at the one-day sourdough course at on 17 November.

Even if my scammers had been slightly foiled, there was no guarantee that they couldn’t just start fresh with new profiles. The system was still in place. Airbnb has created a web of more than 7 million listings built largely on trust, easily exploitable by those willing to do so. Maybe it’s not so surprising that the company would rather play a half-assed game of whack-a-mole than answer basic questions about its verification process. For every person who doesn’t receive a complete refund, Airbnb makes money.I've had good experiences on Airbnb so far, but this sort of thing makes me wary about continuing to push my luck. The hotel aggregation sites are little better.

I don’t agree with Roger Scruton on much, but I do agree with him that limiting social dance to clubs and EDM festivals where everyone is drunk or high is not good for us. Scruton’s solution is to yearn for the glory days of eighteenth century Europe. My solution is to look to our friends from the African diaspora, whose social norms around music and dance are very different from those of white people, and in a lot of ways, more grown up.Very well said; one the other hand, there is always Irish, Scottish and English "folk dancing" and its many derivatives, which are so much fun and which I could do, more and more often.

The large tech companies point to our willing use of their services as proof that people don’t really care about their privacy. But this is like arguing that inmates are happy to be in jail because they use the prison library.Clever! Maybe not entirely true, but clever.Telling people that they own their data, and should decide what to do with it, is just another way of disempowering them.

A experiment using softer flour rather than Manitoba in my Saracen loaf. Not as much oven spring and a possibly foolish crumb. Too many variables though to disentangle, because I also retarded the loaf overnight in the fridge. So what with that and the weaker flour, I’m not sure what affected what.

One of the things I love about making my own bread is simply watching the effects of time. From a shaggy, sticky mass to a living dough with a lot of structure, just by waiting 30 minutes and then doing a few quick strech-and-folds in the bowl.
Over the course of the next couple of hours I will continue to build structure, but that will take me less than a minute in total. The rest of the time, time itself (and biology, chemistry and physics) works the magic.
Still a few places left for the one-day sourdough course at @latteriastudio in Rome on 9 July. Link in bio.

Why should I be using mobile data to stream music to a $1000 phone when I can get an MP3 player for $26 that can hold 7000 songs on a micro SD card and has 80 hour battery life? The ethical and ecological impact of cheaply made products isn't so great, but I think it's at least worth being somewhat aware of the tradeoffs we're making.So true. And the headphone can have a jack too, if that's what you want.

Did you see the photo of my starter from this morning? It has now had time to work its magic and I have three good looking seedy loaves based on Hamelman’s multigrain with soaker.
I can’t guarantee that these particular loaves will be absolutely delicious, but based on past experience, it is a bet I would be willing to make.

My sourdough leaven, active and spongy and ready to do its thing after two builds.
I originally received this more than a decade ago, as a Tuscan starter that was more than 100 years old. Is there anything specifically Tuscan about it? I doubt it. Is it the same now as it was 100 years ago, or even 10 years ago? Again, I doubt it. But it is ready to make some delicious, flavourful, nutritious bread – and that’s what matters.
Let me hand it on to you, along with the knowledge to start using it, at a one-day bread workshop here in Rome on 9 June 2019.

Latest episode: Celebrating Passover and Easter.
There are lots of ritual meals associated with religious observance, but perhaps none so deliberately loaded with memory as the Passover Seder. Talking about that, and also about a pastry recipe that some Christians have expropriated to remember one of their own stories.

logic is more important than code. In other words, figuring out what you’re trying to accomplish (and describing it clearly) is more important than typing curly braces and semi-colons.

“Amazingly, the link still works” Two amazing things1) In a piece looking back over 1000 of his linkblog posts, Charles Arthur finds it remarkable that a link from 2010 still works.2) The piece seems to be on Medium and nowhere else.I reckon the two observatiuons are linked (haha). Which makes me wonder whether to even share this link. Will it still work in 2028? Or would Charles be better of owning his stuff somewhere else?#indieweb

Interesting piece from Tom Philpott at Mother Jones, pointing out that ALL the big brewers use additional sources of food for their yeasts. Some use corn, some use rice. A pox on all of them.

I could disable public comments again, and just accept Webmentions (which this post is intended to test). But although Comments are rare, some are worthwhile beyond mere affirmation, so I am loathe to do that.

Podnews has a piece that many podcasters could usefully read. The bit that resonated was this quote from Roman Mars:If you have 100,000 listeners and you edit out one useless minute you are saving 100,000 wasted minutes in the world. You’re practically a hero. Not quite a hero, I can at least count myself a mini-hero.

Yes, that could be it.

So interesting to see some of the changes that are happening at Flickr. I’d more or less given up on it as a place to share some of my images, and now I’m beginning to think it is becoming more attractive again. I’ve been a paying user for a long, long time, without really thinking about it. I’m not too bothered about the “silo” aspects of the site, as I have copies of the images themselves. I suppose I ought to look into grabbing comments, likes and so on, but not with all that much urgency. It’s the images that count. The thing I find most interesting about this most recent blog post is this:
Lastly, we looked at our members and found a clear line between Free and Pro accounts: the overwhelming majority of Pros have more than 1,000 photos on Flickr, and the vast majority of Free members have fewer than 1,000. We believe we’ve landed on a fair and generous place to draw the line. I’d love to see the raw histogram of number of images and videos per user.

So good.Your machine is a library not a publication device. You have copies of documents is there that you control directly, that you can annotate, change, add links to, summarize, and this is because the memex is a tool to think with, not a tool to publish with.

Alas, I think the very point that common sense is uncommon, and that there’s no argument against “I thought I was behaving decently” make some kind of fallback necessary. A code of conduct is not, of course, a legal agreement or contract, but the same reasoning applies: Hope for the best, but plan for the worst.

What happened was, I was walking through a train station on the way to work with the buds playing randomly on shuffle and a knifeblade of Real Music came in from outside so I had to pull them out of my ears, there was this young dude getting great electric sound out of a teeny amp doing a slow take on Little Wing with a really good voice: When I’m sad, she comes to me… plenty room between the notes and lots of soul in them. He looked a little hard-pressed; I put my hand in my pocket for some coin but there was no coin there because I live on plastic these days and that busker went unpaid that morning. Another reason for a thing I’m thinking of: Going back to cash.PESOS from Reading.am.

I know it is all about the plumbing, but this is one of my chief niggles about automated syndication (by me) – that there is so much variability in what is sent and received that it kind of makes a mockery of the process.
So I’m doing the manual thing now, to make sure this finds its way back to you, in case the other one doesn’t.

I suppose if a post is literally just a picture of a button with an arrow that says “click here” you might get into trouble, but otherwise that would work.

In all kinds of rankings, people like what other people like, so popular stuff becomes more popular. Which is why I am highly ambivalent any time I so much as glance at podcast charts. Either people like what I’m doing, or they don’t, but asking whether they like my output more or less than someone else’s is pointless. Mostly.
An unrelated mystery: why would someone who has their own domain in their own name not want that domain to be more popular by, you know, publishing on it?

You raise an interesting question about aboriginal bread in Australia. I’ve listened to a podcast with Bruce Pascoe and read a general piece that was awfully muddled, but I have not read his book. I have no reason not to take his claims at face value, although I also think that the freight he is adding to those claims owes as much to the general status and recent past history of aboriginal people in Australia as it does to archaeology. I will certainly be including something in the book I am working on.

It is fun. And it reminds me of two things. The most important is that I really need to get to grips with my tags, both in Zettelkasten and, perhaps even more importantly, in Pinboard.
The whole business of bookmarking, storing copies, highlighting and annotating remains a source of confusion for me. There are just too many moving parts.

Not the most important point in the article, but an important point:Wansink’s sense for harnessing buzz may have been a skill in the wrong domain. He’s a camera-friendly performer who might’ve done very well as a Bill Nye– or Neil deGrasse Tyson–type infotainer, in an industry where simplification to build a compelling narrative is not a bug but a feature, given the explicit mission to deliver an attention-grabbing-and-holding product to an audience.

It’s about time.
That thing I promised a few days back, about time and the business of baking bread, is now published. My basic argument is that cheap bread devalues good bread and good bakers. “If a loaf of pap is available for pennies, how are we to justify an adequate reward for the baker who needs time and space to produce a different kind of loaf? It is the existence of cheap bread that makes a desire for something better into an elitist, privileged foodie pursuit.” http://ow.ly/q5DH30lLVr2 https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/its-about-timethat-thing-i-promised-a-few-days-back Tue, 11 Sep 2018 13:05:12 +0000 post publish 2018-09-11 13:05:12 2018-09-11 13:05:12

Our Daily Bread 31 - Winding Down
What more is there to say? Plenty, of course, but not this time. This is the final episode of this run of Our Daily Bread.
I say that as if there will be another, but all I’m really doing is leaving the door slightly ajar. I’ve had a lot of fun and learned a lot. I hope you have too.
For a final thought, I cannot do better than Elizabeth David, from her meticulous chapter on The Cost of Baking Your Own Bread in English Bread and Yeast Cookery. After going through nutrition, prices and all that she writes: “So much for price comparisons. Long before you’ve finished doing the sums you realise that what counts is the value of decent bread to you and to the people you are responsible for feeding, and what that is, it’s up to us to work out for ourselves.” https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/our-daily-bread-31---winding-downqyup30lbumtwhat-more-is-there Fri, 31 Aug 2018 13:33:33 +0000 post publish 2018-08-31 13:33:33 2018-08-31 13:33:33

In the latest Daskeyboard metahacks, there’s a certain irony to the juxtaposition of item 5 – “The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and a seal.” – Mark Twain – and item 2 – “Giant container ships are just as responsible for pollution as cars”. How hard would it have been to check? For example, BBC Radio 4’s More or Less.

Our Daily Bread 30 - A Perennial Dream
Wheat is an annual plant; it dies after setting seed. Each year, the farmer has to prepare the land, sow seed, fertilise and protect the plants. When the ground is bare, between crops, wind and water can erode the soil. The shallow root systems of annual plants fail to exploit the resources of the soil and do little to improve it. So although wheat feeds us, it does so at considerable cost to the environment. It isn’t sustainable.
What if wheat were perennial?

Our Daily Bread 29 - It’s a Hard Grain http://ow.ly/3Zvt30lB5rE Durum wheat is only about 5% of the total wheat harvest around the world. For those of us who like our pasta, that’s a very important 5%. Different gluten proteins make a durum dough stretchy rather than elastic – perfect for pasta. The kernels are very hard and need dedicated milling machinery, which produces small granules – semolina – rather than flour. That, however, may be about to change. https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/our-daily-bread-29---its-a-hard-grain-3zvt30lb5re Wed, 29 Aug 2018 11:58:42 +0000 post publish 2018-08-29 11:58:42 2018-08-29 11:58:42

Our Daily Bread 27 - Bread and Political Circuses
An enormous amount of wheat, roughly one fifth of the total harvest, is traded internationally between countries and, as might be expected, if the supply falls, prices rise. Given the strategic importance of wheat, countries try to ensure that they have an adequate supply, even when doing so actually makes things worse, at least in the short term.
Wheat links a drought in China to the fall of Egypt’s government in the Arab Spring of 2011. https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/our-daily-bread-27---bread-and-political-circusessug530lz3uoan-enormous Mon, 27 Aug 2018 14:45:50 +0000 post publish 2018-08-27 14:45:50 2018-08-27 14:45:50
Our Daily Bread 26 - Wheats and Measures
Eight wheat seeds of silver gets you 5 pounds 10 ounces of bread.
The very first English law about food regulated the size of a standard loaf of bread. The Assize of Bread and Ale kept the price constant, but that price bought more or less bread depending on the price of wheat. It never was a very useful system, for bakers or bread buyers, but it survived from at least 1266 until 1836 and provides an opportunity to consider a pound of silver versus a pound of bread. https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/our-daily-bread-26---wheats-and-measuresjvld30lxi4xeight-wheat-seeds Mon, 27 Aug 2018 12:09:29 +0000 post publish 2018-08-27 12:09:29 2018-08-27 12:09:29

Our Daily Bread 25 - Tradition!
The one thing to be thankful for in the rise of fast factory bread is that it prompted the resurgence of small, artisan bakers. They have been goaded to produce breads that are better in every way than even the best breads of years gone by. It may seem at times as if their focus is on traditions from time immemorial. It isn’t. Because aside from taking time, what they are doing isn’t all that traditional. https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/our-daily-bread-25---traditionwcss30lxhflthe-one-thing-to-be Sat, 25 Aug 2018 12:36:17 +0000 post publish 2018-08-25 12:36:17 2018-08-25 12:36:17

Our Daily Bread 24 - Slow, but Exceedingly Fine http://ow.ly/W4Ix30lvxpu
Without a doubt, the most important trend in the resurgence of baking with care is the increasing use of small mills by keen home bakers and professionals alike. Better nutrition and stunning flavour are the obvious benefits. Less visible, a renewal of local grain growing and closer links between farmers and bakers, all in search of better wheats.

Our Daily Bread 22 - Sourdough by Any Name
Sourdough – whatever you call it – is the original leavening agent for breads around the world. At its simplest it is just a piece of the last batch of dough, set aside to ferment the current batch. But it can be so much more than that, a stable little ecosystem of species that support one another while keeping out intruders.
It also makes the best bread, although I admit to being biassed.
It needn’t actually taste sour. In fact, except in a few countries, it need not even make use of a natural leaven. https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/our-daily-bread-22---sourdough-by-any-nameqlnm30ltlnusourdough Wed, 22 Aug 2018 12:28:22 +0000 post publish 2018-08-22 12:28:22 2018-08-22 12:28:22

Flour, water, salt and yeast; the basic ingredients of a loaf of bread. What happens when you mix them up and then heat them is a complex casade of chemistry, biology and physics.

Our Daily Bread 14 - The Daily Grind
It has been a long time since anyone who wanted to eat bread had to first grind their wheat. Grinding, however, was absolutely fundamental to agricultural societies, and still is for some. Archaeologists can see how the work left its mark on the skeletons of the women who ground the corn in the valley of the Euphrates. Then, about 2500 years ago, in the area now called Catalonia, an unknown genius invented the first labour-saving device. https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/our-daily-bread-14---the-daily-grind5iby30ln1tyit-has-been Tue, 14 Aug 2018 11:03:54 +0000 post publish 2018-08-14 11:03:54 2018-08-14 11:03:54

Our Daily Bread 11 - It’s not natural
Wheat has a hugely diverse genetic background, being made up of three different species, and genetic diversity is what allows breeders to find the traits they need to produce wheats that can cope with changing conditions. But because the accidents that created wheat might have happened just the once, plenty of diversity that is missing from modern wheats is still in wheat’s ancestors. Trouble is, crossing a wild wheat with a modern wheat is almost impossible. Solution: remake modern wheat. https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/our-daily-bread-11---its-not-naturaldvgu30lkis3wheat-has-a Sat, 11 Aug 2018 15:11:08 +0000 post publish 2018-08-11 15:11:08 2018-08-11 15:11:08

All three traits had been bred into wheat 40 years before Borlaug got going, by the Italian pioneer Nazareno Strampelli. https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/our-daily-bread-10---dwarf-wheat-on-the-shoulders Fri, 10 Aug 2018 12:22:19 +0000 post publish 2018-08-10 12:22:19 2018-08-10 12:22:19

Our Daily Bread 07 - Bake like an Egyptian http://ow.ly/6CJ430lfJ7K Kamut® is a modern wheat – registered and trademarked in 1990 – with an ancient lineage. The word is ancient Egyptian, and the hieroglyphics may literally mean “Soul of the Earth”. More prosaically, “bread”. The story of its discovery and growing popularity says a lot about our hunger for stories. It is also quite capable of leading hard-nosed molecular biologists astray https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/our-daily-bread-07---bake-like-an-egyptian-6cj430lfj7k Tue, 07 Aug 2018 12:10:34 +0000 post publish 2018-08-07 12:10:34 2018-08-07 12:10:34

While there is good stuff in there about #RSS, this is the bit that, to me, matters more:But online publishing isn’t supposed to be easy. And being an informed citizen isn’t supposed to be easy, either. The idea that we just casually check our phone every hour or so and Google, Twitter, or Facebook would give us a quick dose of everything we need to read is a fantasy.

In part, it’s fun. It’s a challenge, and something to do to keep me entertained. But more than that, it’s empowering to know that I am in control of all of my content. I’ve been posting content online for longer than many of these silos have existed; so maybe I’m a relic of a bygone time, when people had more skin in the game of content creation? Maybe I’m pursuing some quixotic vision where people share meaningful information without the burden of monetization or gamification or the pursuit of more followers.This ^. Even though I don't have a hundredth of Skippy's knowledge.

A little problem with Known’s Micropub endpoint https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/a-little-problem-with-knowns-micropub-endpoint Tue, 12 Jun 2018 15:41:06 +0000 post publish 2018-06-12 15:41:06 2018-06-12 15:41:06
One of the developers of Sunlit, a photo-sharing app that is part of the Micro.blog ecosystem, contacted me to say that “the images on your site have a MIME type of application/data”. I’d like to say I understood immediately what the problem was and what it meant, but I had to do some learning first. It wasn’t as simple as the extension, the bit after the filename that indicates whether it is a JPEG or PNG kind of image. Rather, it was about what my server tells your browser about the image.To backtrack, Known stores all files as blobs that contain the actual file data, the 1s and 0s. Your browser, when it receives a post from my server, can often sniff out what kind of thing (image, audio, text etc) that blob of data represents and do a good job of showing it to you. Normally, you wouldn’t even notice. One clue is that if you right-click on an image, and ask to open it in a new tab, it actually gets downloaded instead, I suppose because the new tab doesn’t know what else to do with it.Anyway, I confirmed that the source file for most images did not have an extension (which would have told the browser directly how to deal with it). Most, but not all. Files I had uploaded to my site directly did have an extension and the correct MIME type. The “bad” files had come from OwnYourGram or Quill, both of which are part of the joyful #IndieWeb. They use a standard called Micropub to send things to a suitably equipped website.It seemed unlikely that both Quill and OYG would fail to send the requisite information to identify a photo, so I went digging into the code that Known uses to decide what to do with a post sent by Micropub. I made a bit of progress but although I could see more or less what was happening, I couldn’t see how to make it right.Fortunately Aaron Parecki, who built Quill and OwnYourGram (and so much else), was around and gave me the clue I needed to investigate: curl -I example.com/file.One beautiful feature of Quill is that if it is sending a photo and if the receiving site has a media endpoint for receiving files (which Known does) it uploads the file, shows you a preview and tells you the location of the file. With that, the curl command shows that the temporary file has the correct description of Content-Type: image/jpeg. Once Known has processed the whole post from Quill, though, the file that contains the image shows as Content-Type: application/data.Somewhere between receiving the temporary file from Quill and storing it permanently, Known fails to give it the proper MIME type.I wish I knew enough to discover where the problem lies. Most likely Marcus Povey – who keeps the wheels spinning at Known – will be able to do the needful, now that I have submitted an issue. And Sunlit will be able to share my photos far and wide.

@phoneboy kindly shared a screenshot of the “webmention” spam he said he had received.As I suspected, it looks to me like common or garden spam, hence the scare quotes. Of course, I can’t be absolutely certain without digging further into the actual URLs, which I’m not about to do, but everything about these comments screams pingbacks or trackbacks. And the solution is obviously Akismet which, to be honest, I am suprised Phoneboy has not already installed and activated.The day may come when webmention spam is a thing, and #indieweb people have been thinking about a protocol called Vouch for that eventuality.

A couple of days ago, @phoneboy mentioned the fun he had deleting the spam webmentions he had received on WordPress.I asked him to document them.Now Phoneboy replies:Once I figure out the right settings, I’ll let you know.And I’m not sure what that means. What right settings? Doesn’t WordPress keep a copy of all comments it receives? It would be really useful to see the contents of those “spam webmentions,” where they came from, what they contained, who sent them, simply because, as I said before, so few of these imagined evils have so far been spotted in the open. Not sure what settings that requires.Also, the irony of this question has not escaped me:Also, where did you post this comment? Didn’t see it in micro.blog.I posted it here. Where else would I post it?#indieweb

There have been concerns about the spamming potential but few (none?) seen in the wild, so that would be really valuable.

If you’re looking for a really good introduction to the #IndieWeb and insights into how it all works, you could do a lot worse than listen to Jeena’s podcast with Martijn. They do a tip-top job of explaining for people less knowledgeable than they are, and the audio quality is very acceptable.

Strangely, perhaps, given my love of tinkering with shiny, I’ve never been tempted by Ghost. But reading the latest birthday review surfaced this bit of wisdom.Decentralised platforms fundamentally cannot compete on ease of setup. Nothing beats the UX of signing up for a centralised application.ButCentralised platforms fundamentally cannot compete on power and flexibility. In the long run, nothing beats owning your technology and controlling your destiny.

I failed to find it first time around. There are so many interesting points in that post and in the comments, and also a faint whiff of déja vu. The sidebar shows exactly what went wrong with pingbacks and trackbacks, and I suspect there is still no way to bridge the gap between the “commenting is broken” and the “technology will fix commenting” crowds.
In the end, we both know, it depends absolutely on the people involved. Maintaining a website that you regard as your own does require maintenance. Like a garden, you may choose to let a few weeds flourish, for the wildlife, and you may also seek to encourage volunteers, for the aesthetics. A garden without wildlife is dull, a garden without aesthetics is pointless.

The Aryan-Invasion-Theory sure looks to be basically correct. As for the archaeologists saying that there’s not enough evidence of devastation, Reich points out that they can’t really detect the fall of the western Roman Empire, which hardly means it didn’t happen. War and migration are well-known important factors in written history – why not in prehistory? Because many contemporary archaeologist and historians think that wishing can make it so. They should be paid accordingly.PESOS from https://www.reading.am/p/4XXy/https://westhunt.wordpress.com/2018/04/22/who-we-are-8-india/.

‘Consider flour as flavour’: Bakers turn to whole grains to give their baked goods a boost https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2018/consider-flour-as-flavour-bakers-turn-to-whole-grains-to Mon, 16 Apr 2018 10:20:59 +0000 post publish 2018-04-16 10:20:59 2018-04-16 10:20:59
“Folks in the 60s and 70s didn’t know how to work with whole grains, and were getting super gritty and dense baked goods,” says Kaufmann. For many in the counterculture, eating these brick-like baked goods was an anti-authority act unto itself. “You were committed to the idealism behind baking whole wheat bread, even if that meant retraining your palate to enjoy it.”Refusing my mother's wholewheat quiche was the anti-authority act here.

Digging into how withknown creates RSS feeds, I can see two things.One is that for a status post, which has no title, title is a truncated version of the post content, although the level of truncation seems to vary. Not sure why.The other is that even status posts, with a truncated title, have a full description that includes p-name and e-content and even entry-content.But micro.blog does not seem to read description at least not when it is coming from my withknown RSS feed.Puzzling.

There are lots of solutions that allow only registered users to see a specific post. What I want ideally is a link I can give people that will work for them and not for anyone else. A page hidden from anyone who does not have that link.
The idea is to give email subscribers and other supporters access either exclusively or well in advance of the general public.

The moral is, in a way, obvious: it’s a confirmation of Bruce Schneier’s original observation that “surveillance is the business model of the Internet”. Being a pedant, I would have said “of the Web”, but since many people can’t distinguish between the two, we’ll leave Bruce’s formulation stand.

I managed to fix a long-standing niggle with my #indieweb practice this afternoon, thanks to some great help from cweiske and others. For the longest time Quill, a micropub client that I can use to publish here, wasn’t showing me an option to syndicate directly to Twitter. That meant that I tended reply to tweets and stuff right there in the silo and not bring them back here. Fair enough, especially when a reply without context is like an egg without salt. But we figured it out, in part by that old standby of “switch it off and then switch it back on again”. That got things working, and was enough of an impetus to upgrade WithKnown to the latest build. And so far, everything looks good.

This one is really interesting, and had never occurred to me. Not that I have much choice when changing continents.PROPERLY BREAKING UP A FLIGHT JOURNEYSimple rule, I’ve learned the hard way: 2 equal length legs of a journey are far better than one long leg and one short one. If the entire world is conspiring against you, and you cannot get a non-stop flight, pick the one with the most equal durations of flying times and try to get a 2 hour layover. That’s enough to pee, stretch, eat, and not stress if your incoming flight is delayed. Also: it’s always better to fly in and out of larger airports as there’s far better food options.

The way I understand it, citizenship is granted by some other authority. You can’t just claim it for yourself.
I like Kartik Prabhu’s idea that posting to a domain you own is all it takes. “Everything else is a bonus”. But that’s a little like Robinson Crusoe being a citizen of his island. Interaction with others matters too.

And in case you’re wondering, that previous photo? Intrepid members of the Port of London police, testing new lifejackets. On the lookout for contraband bread, I suspect.

So far, I confess, I have not felt the need myself. There are no photographs in either of those silos that I don’t have a copy of (actually, the original, not a copy) on my desktop computer. And any text I may have place on FB is also either a copy of something here or else completely insubstantial. Heck, I’m still bringing in old blog posts to my new system by hand, very slowly, and I haven’t begun to bring in old posts from a previous incarnation of this stream. Maybe it is because I was an independent blogger long before either FB or IG saw the light of day, but I have never regarded those places as worthy of original material.

Two savvy treats on one day. Jeremy Keith takes a general look at the power of internet companies in his post on Ends and means. Tim Bray focuses specifically on the utility that is Google Maps in his post Reviewing Ethics. Jeremy: Going back to the opening examples of online blackouts, was it morally wrong for companies to use their power to influence politics? Or would it have been morally wrong for them not to have used their influence?Tim: Call me crazy, but I’d pass legislation to keep Google from doing what they’re doing. They should be able to sell space on the maps, and they should be able to provide quality filters, and collect feedback on reviews and downgrade or upgrade them accordingly. But no damn way should they own the map and the crowdsourced value-adds on the map.No collusion, I’m sure, just two smart people addressing their concerns about good behaviour by those who make and use the web.

I've never done this myself, honest, but I can understand that it is tempting for a whole reason. And I like both ends of the spectrum of justification:The authors further proposed that retailers bore some blame for the problem. In their zeal to cut labor costs, the study said, supermarkets could be seen as having created “a crime-generating environment” that promotes profit “above social responsibility.”... and ...“Anyone who pays for more than half of their stuff in self checkout is a total moron,” reads one of the more militant comments in a Reddit discussion on the subject. “There is NO MORAL ISSUE with stealing from a store that forces you to use self checkout, period. THEY ARE CHARGING YOU TO WORK AT THEIR STORE.”

The white man, Tocqueville wrote as he observed race relations in America, ‘is to the men of other races what man himself is to the animals’, in the sense that he ‘makes them serve his purposes, and when he cannot make them bend, he destroys them.’A social order built on systemic violence made the black man, Tocqueville recognised, an ever present menace in his white master’s imagination. Still I find it hard to internalise this understanding, no matter how much I may "know" it.

Gavin belonged to a school of one. Throughout most of his career – which was a vocation conducted on his own terms – it was evident to anyone of the slightest sentience that he was the eminent architectural writer of his generation. During much of that time architectural criticism in Ingerlandlandland was no such thing; it was a matter of giving great forelock to a few big names, it was fawning, anilingual sycophancy, a barely dissembled form of PR.He also, and this may be a little-known fact, designed letterheads for like-minded colleagues, myself included.

Webmentions are the glue that sticks all the bits in all the sites together.That’s my one-liner about one of the core ideas about the #IndieWeb, but it doesn’t actually tell you very much if you want to know how the glue works. I’ve kind of absorbed a moderately high-level abstraction over the past little while of playing with webmentions, but a friend asked for more:Do you know of any diagrams that explain how this stuff works without all the … words that web communities seem to enjoy creating? I keep coming back to this topic every so often, and every time I return things just appear more complicated and broken than before …I don’t think that last opinion is merited, but then I would say that. And right now I don’t have the time to write up my understanding. I’m pretty sure I saw something clear and to the point a little while back, but I’m blowed if I can find it now. So here are four pieces I have found. Implementing Webmentions, which contains a good verbal description of the flow. Adactio: Journal—Parsing webmentions, which explains some the technology too. So long Disqus, hello Webmention has a go at why webmentions are a good idea and some of the nuts and bolts of implementation. Webmentions · Rudiger Meyer is another good verbal description of the how, along with the why and the what. These may not answer the question fully, but they are a start. And they might inspire me to write my own version, especially if I could have a synchronous discussion about it with my interlocuter.

There’s no way on earth to be precise about the words for a pre-ferment, and I for one tend to use them interchangeably, at least to some extent. Of course, if Reinhart offered precise definitions, even hydrations, of “stiff” and “wet” that would at least make consistency possible. His video on the 12 steps is rather good, and something I show in my workshops.

I have only seen one side of Nick Snelgar’s dispute with his local planning authority but I have no reason to doubt what I’ve seen there. To me it seems indisputable that, no matter what politicians like Michael Gove may say, there is no real desire to allow small farmers to reform the farming and food landscape in England.

Some of the people rediscovering independent publishing on their own domains are agonising over self-censorship, guilt and the like. I’m slowly continuing to bring old posts over into my main site. That goes for the ones that hurt a bit to read.The only ones I’m not bringing are link posts that include dead links. A few are just too topical to bother with. The others are coming over, albeit not very quickly, even if I have to go searching for archived pages to link to.

Along the way, Salmon has this to say: the world’s billionaires – the richest 2,000 people on the planet – saw their wealth increase by a staggering $762 billion in just one year. That’s an average of $381 million apiece. If those billionaires had simply been content with staying at their 2016 wealth, and had given their one-year gains to the world’s poorest people instead, then extreme poverty would have been eradicated. Hell, they could have eradicated extreme poverty, at least in theory, by giving up just one seventh of their annual gains. Hang on a minute. Wouldn’t the billionnaires need to make that awesome sacrifice every year? Or does the fact the people would slide back into extreme poverty next year not matter?

It is always interesting to read of someone else deciding to give the IndieWeb a try. I like what Michael Singletary has to say, especially thisMost of my online friends and acquaintances will never understand or participate in the IndieWeb, and so I require a bridge between these worlds. On one side I choose what content to post and how it is stored, and it exists mainly on an island that few visit regularly. On the other side is nearly everyone I know, blissfully ignorant of my real home on the web and unable to see any content shared there without manual intervention or working plugins.What really struck me, though, was the line in his bio: “Blogging since 2002, taking control of my content since 2018.”I lost some of my pre–2002 posts, not through the actions of any evil silo (were there any, then?), but through my own idiocy in misplacing a crucial backup. And I never really got on board the silo first band-wagon, so in a sense I have always owned the content I care about owning. Most of my friends do consider it kind of weird that I didn’t see the photo they posted only to FB, but they’re only too happy to show them to me one on one. So yes, for now few people visit this island, and that’s OK. I enjoy the ones who do.I’m using the IndieWeb in an attempt to make it easier for everyone to visit, and that works too.

My friend Jason was recently musing on the possibility of legislating firms to employ a certain number of people, based on revenue, in order to slow the pace of automation and the joblessness it leads to. I get that there’s a problem,because no matter how good state provision for joblessness might be, firms contribute only a small part (if any) to the costs of supporting the workers they fire. Jason’s idea is essentially an additional tax on firms to offset the costs of joblessness by creating unnecessary jobs. In my view there’s a far better way; tax firms more, and spend some of the proceeds on a universal basic income.

Carrier argued that gift wrap transforms something impersonal into something personal—ritually turning an anonymous commodity into an idiosyncratic gift. In today’s terms, for example, the iPhone anyone can buy becomes, when wrapped, the iPhone I got for you.

Seems a lot more doable than cracking the computer open, and a lot more affordable than a new machine. I’m in the land of cheaper for a little longer yet, so time for more research, but I think I am going to continue down this road.

In a sense you can of course take your patrons with you, as a download of the basic details, and with all the other tools available I suspect it would not be too difficult to reconstruct a similar experience that might even be better for managing privileged content. I’ve yet to do that myself, but it is in my plans. I’m also having a little trouble with Stripe, which was easy enough to set up, harder to get working efficiently.
Overall, I’m glad to have been goaded into doing something to make it easy for people who don’t want the hassle of signing up for Patreon, perhaps because they only have one person to whom they want to donate.

During the virtual IWC tonight, we were discussing third-party clients for publishing to websites, essentially Micropub clients and MarsEdit. And it occurred to us more or less simultaneously, that I do not use Micropub for the site that supports it out of the box, whereas I do use a client for the site that does not support Micropub out of the box. And that is because the post-creation UI is nice and simple for Known, and a right mess for WordPress. So, just to be difficult, I’m using Quill for the first time in a long while to create a Post in Known.

A cup of coffee here, a cup of coffee there, pretty soon you’re talking about a bottle of wine. Nevertheless, I thought it worth dropping 2.5 coffees to check out fsnotes, which bills itself as a “lightweight notational velocity reinvention”.I depend totally on nvALT as my general place for keeping scraps, vital information, inchoate thoughts and more besides, and the one thing that has always bugged me has been the inability to have more than one folder. Mainly, I envisage using an additional folder as an archive; notes that I truly believe I have finished with but that I really do not want to throw away because there might be something in them I need later. NvALT’s blazing search speed would be fabulous for that kind of treasure hunt, but I honestly don’t want currently dead notes cluttering up my view of all that stuff.I asked about multiple folders 21 days ago and a couple of days ago the developer, Oleksandr Glushchenko, delivered just that. Definitely deserving of my support.First impressions are that fsnotes is every bit as fast as nvALT. I haven’t been able to give multiple folders a good workout yet, because I only have one big folder of notes. My minor niggle is that the display of links is different from nvALT’s. A well-formed Markdown link is clickable in the preview mode, but not in “native” mode. I suppose I could fix that easily enough in my existing notes, and it need not be a problem going forward, but it is an annoyance right now that might stop me switching completely over to fsnotes.Maybe I’ll raise an issue on github for that.

So interesting to see this, not only as a piece of history but also as a personal reminder.Back when the web was young and shiny, an otherwise extremely intelligent BBC television producer, a friend at the time, asked my help in understanding the promise of the new shinyness, especially in visual terms. I told him about the famous coffee pot web cam (and maybe, also, about the link to the Coke machine)."Isn't that great," I said, "that you can see whether there's coffee in the pot without having to leave your computer.""But you could just get up and look.""Well yes, but the coffee pot could be anywhere in the world.""What's the point of that? You can't go and get a cup of coffee there.""True. But it doesn't have to be a coffee pot. It could be, oh, anything.""I just don't see the point."Of couse he went on to produce a highly acclaimed series, and much else besides.

The simplest way to describe the attitude of software engineers and companies to linguistic interfacing with their customers would be to say that they do not give a monkey's fart about such matters. Not only do they never have a linguist check the use of language in the programs they expect us to use (that'll be the day), they don't have anybody at all checking it.If they program interfaces this carelessly, just how likely is it that robots are going to respect the Three Laws of Robotics?Not just software engineers.

Rather happy to have scratched a long-standing itch into submission. I use the semantic-linkbacks plugin to display webmentions on one of my WordPress sites. It has an option for displaying webmentions as facepiles, which keeps things neat. But my WordPress theme also displays webmentions as comments, which is mostly redundant. Not entirely, though, because a few webmentions contain actual content, which is not visible in the facepile. I could completely void display of the webmentions, but that loses the little bit of content there.Fortunately, the latest master of the plugin has settings to display the facepile for each kind of webmention, so I could stop it making facepiles for actual mentions. Then all I needed to do was hide the theme’s display of any webmentions that are just likes or reposts. And that is easily done by adding.p-like { display: none; }
.p-repost { display: none; } to styles.css.I’ll probably have to revisit that if I ever get any other kinds of webmention, but for now I am content.#indieweb #webmention

I suppose I'm just not enough of a herd-dweller to understand either why some people insist that RSS is dead or are surprised that it remains alive and well.

This pushed many towards simply using their social streams - they couldn’t be bothered to find an equivalent service and re-add all their feeds.No such need would exist with something like webmentions. People may not be able to immediately interact with as many properties but things wouldn’t stop working for those not hosted on the major player’s platform.Well, OK. But that's not how it went for me. I found Newsblur pretty quickly and have stuck with it, although I hear good things about lots of other readers. I never really took to the idea of any of the social silos being a substitute for a reader, and as they become more algorithmic they became less and less interesting on that score.I do wish Newsblur would do more on the sharing front. For a while it allowed cross-posting to ADN and I can't imagine it would be that hard to allow more generalised cross-posting, but the developer just doesn't seem that interested.The huge draw of RSS for me is that it costs nothing if a site lays dormant for months or even years. Just last week, a site I subscribe to sprang back into life after more than three years. I can't believe that would ever have made it into my timeline at a silo.

Ah, the old chestnut about audio quality of podcasts. So I’ll give my standard answer. If what you’re saying is interesting, audio quality is less important. Asymcar is my goto example for that. And if what you say is not interesting, no level of production value will make me listen longer.In between is a grey area. So, specifically addressing Henrik’s question, that microcast was perfectly OK, except that once we had dealt with the weather and the question, I had had enough. On all outdoor recording wind noise, handling noise and bumps are the most distressing to me because they are always a shock to my ears. But if I know it is going to be over in three minutes, I can survive.I’ve recorded outdoors and walking along myself, almost always with either the built-in microphone on the earbuds or else with an external Zoom iQ-6. The Zoom is actually worse, because it is so much more sensitive to wind and handling. A few times, when I was doing Dog Days of Podcasting, I cheated and recorded while walking along only to shadow myself with a decent mic when I got home. That’s fun because you get the spontaneity of unscripted speech with much better sound quality.

More good help from Manton, cleverdevil and others, but alas no nearer (although I may have eliminated some possibilities). I was allowing both HTTP and HTTPS. There could have been some kind of mismatch, I suppose, but after editing .htaccess to force SSL, it made no difference to micro.blog’s OS X app. Then thought that possibly a different endpoint would help (despite the fact that I know all the same details are on the home page). Pointed micro.blog first at /profile and then at /profile/jeremy; still no good. At this stage, given that Manton managed to get everything working from a clean install of Known out of the box, I think I need to try the same. If that works, well, if nothing else, it works.I had been fretting about losing data, but if I install into a new sub-domain and it works there, I can always edit the config.ini to point back at the old database. It will be a good opportunity to see how good the instructions are to install at Dreamhost. Last time I managed without any instructions, and I also didn’t write up my experiences. This could be an opportunity to pay back.#indieweb

I have never yet been able to post from my micro.blog to this stream, although the feed from here is reliably picked up there, and brid.gy reliably pulls replies from there to here. @manton suggested we move my complaints to help@micro.blog, but I can see no way of actually engaging with that account. So this afternoon, I decided to attempt to go back to the beginning.It was a miserable failure.Here’s how it went: Revoke all current authorisations for micro.blog There were four of them, two from yesterday when I last tried. Launch OS X app OK! “If you’re using WordPress or another server, first open the preferences window and enter your web site URL to set it up for posting within the app.” Roger that. But the old website was still there. Is that going to be a problem? Start a new post; the old website is there at the bottom. This is going to be a problem. Same old Same old; Error sending post. Post does not arrive at micro.blog Post does not arrive at WithKnown WithKnown Error log is empty. Access log shows no sign of anything from recent attempt to post from micro.blog Check to make sure I have up to date micro.blog app “Micro.blog can’t be updated when it’s running from a read-only volume like a disk image or an optical drive.” Move Micro.blog to Applications folder using Finder, relaunch it from there, and try again. Strange. Check path to micro.blog. Path is “/Applications/Micro.blog.app”. Check the App Store; disappointed but also content that there is not an update. Delete web site URL from preferences; quit micro.blog, mostly for superstitious reasons; launch micro.blog. Very strange; web site URL is still there. Or back? Maybe the app pulls it from micro.blog? Repeat; same outcome. Superstition justified. Go to my account at micro.blog. See I have three App tokens. The one for MarsEdit is definitely pointless, as I am not hosted at micro.blog. Remove it. Throw caution to the winds; remove the tokens for IOS and OS X OK, IOS now says “Internal Server Error” on attempting to connect. I think I ought to sign out now and then sign back in. Phew. All is good. And I have a new app token. On iOS, try to write a new post; insert my Known site; authorise micro.blog; write a test post. Post it. “Error sending post”. Tear hair out, as now I do not seem to be able to post to micro.blog from iOS app. Go back to 22; remove iOS app token and authorisation token at WithKnown. Log back in. Can no longer post without adding WithKnown, and posting gives an error, as at 26. Try again from OS X; same error as at 8. Post to WithKnown; feed is picked up. Any and all suggestions gratefully received.#indieweb

One could, for example, imagine an honest business model – in which people paid an annual subscription for a service that did not rely on targeting people on the basis of the 98 data-points that the company holds on every user. All it would need is for Facebook users to fork out $20 a year for the pleasure of sharing LOLcats with one another.What’s the likelihood of that happening? You know the answer. Which is why Zuck will continue to keep mum about the sordid reality underpinning his money machine.#indieweb

Interesting piece on "owning" your distribution channels. #indieweb.Now, here’s the thing I’ll tell you—if I was running this site on, say, Medium or Tumblr, it would not have buckled. But to me, I think that independence from platforms is a hugely important thing to have in 2017. If you can spin up the server yourself and figure out a way to cobble together funding, you may miss out on some of the perks of larger sites, but you call the shots.

Does the #IndieWeb really need to make indie copies of everything the silos offer? Even the workarounds?Maybe I misunderstand, and a feature like this is what weans people off the silo pap. All I know is, I don’t think it would work for me.

Finished the first phase of moving two WordPress driven sites from one hosting service to another this morning. I was a bit wary, having read all the things that can go wrong, and I took a few wrong turns into dead ends. But I managed to back out and didn’t screw up too badly on the first one. The screwing up I did accomplish was mainly the result of my impatience, doing things in quick succession when I should have given them time to settle down in between. But I learned my lessons, and this morning’s transfer went much more smoothly. Scarily so, in fact.There’s plenty left to do, moving various ancillary things, all part of an ongoing effort to tidy up in general, but I don’t foresee any more difficulties, touch wood.And in case anyone cares, I couldn’t have done it nearly as easily without the Duplicator plugin for WordPress, which truly is a life saver.

[T]he sort of dining rooms that tend to do better on the World’s Top 50 Restaurants list than they do in the Michelin guide; the kitchens where the artistic imperatives of the chef tend to outweigh any questions of what a customer might want to eat; the meals after which a cynical diner, confronted with 20-plus courses of kelp, hemp and tree shoots, makes jokes about stopping for tacos on the way home. Yeah. No.

Playing Lyle Lovett singing Texas River Song, even though I know it’s a stretch, to celebrate having eaten a giant bowl of my own dogfood.A couple of weeks ago I followed Chris Aldrich to reading.am, which is a neat little spot for just putting down a marker for something that you’re reading. I wanted more. I wanted to be able to save links to the things I marked. And now, a little over two weeks later, I’ve done it.I have a PHP file that fetches the RSS feeds of things I’ve marked in reading.am, looks for any that are new since the last time the program ran, and then POSTS the results to Known’s micropub endpoint. #IndieWeb PESOS for my bookmarks!There is no way I could have done it without amazing help from people on the IndieWeb IRC, and it isn’t perfect by any means. There’s more work to be done, for sure, before I even think about sharing the code.But hey, it works.And, as my main helper said, “Launch early and iterate often”.I’ll be doing that.

We had a virtual meeting of the Homebrew Website Club yesterday evening, and as usual it was interesting and informative. We all forgot to take notes, but sketchess was prompted to do a brain dump, which I have added to and tightened up slightly to capture the main points. There was a lot of discussion of the confusion among people new to #IndieWeb caused by having so many different ways to achieve the same thing. Some people thought it would be good if there were, maybe, a recommended approach for specific circumstances. However, that does require the user to be clear what they are trying to achieve. sketchess suggested that directed tutorials to achieve a specific outcome would be helpful. There was some support for this but, as ever, the issue of time can be a constraint. We talked about the potential usefulness of different levels of wiki pages, or a special section, or something completely independent of the wiki. aaronpk reminded us that the difficulty with independent offerings is that there can be difficulties in maintaining momentum. The wiki, as a collective effort, is more likely to be managed by individuals. We noted that sometimes developers simply do not remember what it was like to start some activity, and also that a “getting started” for an experienced developer would be completely different from a “getting started” for someone who perhaps only knows silos. A beginner’s guide written by recent beginners, with expert input from more experienced people, might be useful. We talked about self-dogfooding, and that this may be inhibiting Generation 2 and up. They are not necessarily interested in building things themselves, although they want to make use of IndieWeb principles and practices. Several people seem to be exploring the IndieWeb without making use of IRC or the wiki. Their efforts sometimes show up in IRC thanks to Loqi. Would it be useful to reach out directly and suggest they join and use the wiki? Comments and edits welcome.

@nicolakidsbooks it is probably part of the same phenomenon that made my bubba’s chicken soup such effective medicine. That is, the exact same food can become very positive or very negative depending on when in the sickness cycle you experience it. Eat a novel food just before you feel ghastly, and you may well be put off it for life. Eat it as you’re on the mend – and the return of appetite is always a good sign – and you’ll probably ascribe magical properties to it, and turn to it whenever you’re feelibng a bit better after feeling awful. Constraints on learning and all that.

I’ve certainly learned a lot and look forward to the meetings.
One thing I’d like to suggest is a follow up on the idea of wiki pages for beginners. Someone was recently talking about a “for dummies” approach to setting up a web mention receiver, but from the context, I got the impression that they were dummies only about IndieWeb, not about PHP and servers and all the plumbing. Essentially Gen 1. A for dummies for that person would look very different to a for dummies for Gen 2 or Gen 3.
Would it be interesting if we picked a specific page and some of us (me, probably, although of course others too, and because it is a vHWC they could be anywhere) tried to do do a for Gen 2 dummies write up as a new version. Then at the vHWC you Gen 1people could take a look and explain in more detail, if necessary, or correct it, if wrong in some detail.
Does that sound worthwhile?
I don’t actually have a good sense of which page might be best to start with, but it could be setting up to receive webmentions without, for now, going into the complexities of bridgy. So, for static sites, or CMSs like Grav.

A couple of quick responses:
I will indeed tweak the regex as you suggest. That behaviour by reading.am does rather spoil using it as a repository for links I want to go back to, but hey ho. On posting to Wayback Machine, I thought I saw a blog post from Reading that this was now done automatically for all saved posts. Getting things into my Known stream is on the horizon, but I will have to learn a lot more about how to use the web publish tools.
The webmention form is now looking good and working well, and I think I may even have got email notifications up and running, thanks once again to great help from the IndieWeb community. I’m not happy submitting anything to the original plugin, because it is so very different in scope and approach. But I am definitely thinking about creating a plugin of my own, which would also make it very easy to send the notification email. That’s definitely on the cards. Putting it all on the wiki is next on my list.
And thanks again for being a guide and an encouragement.

A couple of observations:
The real time Q is tricky, although I have found that using the !tell command to a named individual is handy, once you have made some friends on IRC. Slack works well too. I tend to either review the IRC logs or catch up on Slack and if I see something on which I can maybe help, I dive in.
I also think that the wiki is at different times too verbose and too terse and links, but I have been reluctant to dive in, even though I know all changes are reversible. I wonder how hard it would be to do an alternative beginners version of the important pages, with links back and forth. Very easy, probably. There must be an easy way for one of the gurus to tell us which pages are visited most often.
I’m alone in a big city with no other indiewebbers that I’m aware of, but I try to join the virtual IWC and the people there have been super helpful. You might want to give that a try. Mind you, I have no idea what timezone you are in … Most likely UK, but possibly not.
As for your final paragraph, all I can do is echo and say Amen.

What is different about this iteration of white nationalism is how the movement is framing its ideas, and the place those ideas occupy in U.S. politics. One of the chants white nationalists repeatedly turned to as they marched in Charlottesville on Friday night and Saturday was “white lives matter” — a direct response to the “Black Lives Matter” movement that emerged after the killing of Michael Brown by Ferguson, Missouri, police in August 2014 and the resulting protests. So depressing, and salutary to read this minutes after finishing listening to the latest episode of the astonishingly good series Seeing White, from Scene on Radio.

In the past couple of days, prompted by Marty McGuire’s write-up, I raved about the potential of Audiogram to help promote the podcast by making it easier to share audio clips to social media – by turning them into video clips. This afternoon, having managed to get tomorrow’s episode edited early, and having had to chop quite a few interesting digressions, I thought I would have a serious play.Tl;dr: It worked. I’d show you here, but I haven’t found an easy way to upload video to Known yet. If you want to see the result, you can go to Patreon right now.Installing Audiogram was not entirely plain sailing. Marty used Docker, and so despite warnings from other IndieWeb friends, I tried the same. All went well out of the gate, but then fell at the first. Something to do with virtualbox. So I switched to Homebrew and that did the needfull. Even then, though, Audiogram wouldn’t start, but the error message made it clear that I needed to update node.js and npm. That done, it still wouldn’t start.Turned out I already had a local server running, via MAMP, and that was getting in the way. Switching off that server, and all was good.That was two days ago. Today, I tried to use it for serious, and although there were plenty of hiccups along the way, I got there.The instructions for modifying the theme are very straightforward, and with a bit of trial and error I was able to create a background for any future clips.Uploading the audio, inserting the caption, all that was dead simple thanks to Audiogram’s editor. Actually generating the videos, though, generated error after error, and some of them scrolled through several screens. But I kept my nerve, turned to search engines and StackOverflow and eventually got there.Some of the fixes seemed to be pure voodoo. There’s an invisible file that one of the Audiogram developers suggested deleting. The first time I tried that, it worked beautifully. The second time, not so much. Nor the third. But then, it worked again, at which point I called a halt, for now; a wise decision in my opinion.I’m looking forward to seeing whether clips will attract listeners to the podcasts in their entirety. I put the first one on Patreon because the episode is not yet public, although Patreons have received it. I’ll probably use clips there as bait and see how it goes. Once episodes are public I’ll send clips to Twitter and, maybe, Facebook which will, I think make it relatively easy to trace any impact. And if the whole process isn’t too hard (getting to the first video uploaded took almost three hours today) then I can imagine it might be useful to promote older epsiodes too, when there is a news peg.So, grateful thanks to Marty McGuire and WNYC.

Struggling to understand how different bits of the #IndieWeb work in WordPress, I received some very sound advice from lots of people, including this little exhortation from @chrisaldrich:I’ll admit I had to read it about 3 times before I grokked it myself, but it also was a great general and practical intro to the inherent value of microformats.If that were what it took to grok Facebook or Twitter, would anyone beyond a small, self-selecting cadre of geeks be using them?I thought not.

Well, yes. And increasingly, as I read pieces like this one, I find myself thinking that although it isn't hard to take the necessary steps to reclaim the social interactions we want, it needs to be done. That makes it a positive step, which gives it extra weight. I've already set up Instagram so I see what I want as I want it. And some of Twitter. FB I really don't care about that much.

On what planet does Techcrunch live? Their report on Anchor’s bid to lure podcasters from SoundCloud says n0thing about whether audio hosted there will be sharable via, say, Huffduffer, which to me was the biggest single problem with SoundCloud as a podcast host.I would also argue that a promise by Anchor “to cut podcasters in when it starts to earn money” isn’t much to go on.But what do I know?

Language Log – a useful site I really enjoy – recently wrote again about the big debate on whether language shapes, constrains or otherwise has any effect on thought. But that’s not why I’m noting it here. Instead, there’s the reason why they’re talking about it again.In 2010 The Econonomist hosted a big debate on Language and Thought. It used a very spiffy web-enabled platform to host the debate, and a language academic thought it would make a dandy introduction to some readings she is poutting together on the topic. Alas …[T]he Economist’s intro page on this debate leads only to an debate archive site that doesn’t include this one; and the links in old LLOG posts are now redirected to the same unhelpful location.A source at the magazine explained:We vastly over-designed the debate platform (and over-thought it generally, in various ways), and when we stopped running the debates that way, we stopped running that bit of the website. The old debates are now unavailable online.Fortunately for all concerned Language Log was able to find copies in the Internet Archive. But if it hadn’t …#indieweb

Marion Nestle summarises the status of gluten-free hosts and usefully links to the Vatican’s circular on the matter. I actually went to look, wondering whether, maybe, there’s some reason why the host cannot be gluten free. And there is, up to a point.The bread used in the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharistic Sacrifice must be unleavened, purely of wheat …But that’s not really a reason, is it. It’s just a historical tradition. Obey, or else.

Really good debriefing on two years of progress in the #indieweb. I found this rather familiar:While learning all of the requisite skills was challenging, the real struggle in joining the indieweb was piecing all the components together to hold a mental image in my head of what an indiewebsite should be. I spent a great deal of time trawling through the wiki and absorbing all of the ideas on disparate pages. At the time, there were many pages which would all have slightly different variations of the similar information.There's still a ways to go, mind. When I did this reply to automatically, the title of the entry came though as "kongaloosh". I added the correct title by hand myself. The entry title is there, as `p-name` and I cannot tell whether the issue is at my end (WithKnown) or at Alex's end.link

My father was devoted to cryptic crossword puzzles. He was good, too, but every now and then a clue would stump him. If I was around, he would read the clue aloud to me and, more often than not, before I’d even had time to think about it, he had solved it.There’s something about the act of saying it aloud that makes a different kind of thinking possible.So it was last night, during the Homebrew Web Club virtual meeting in Europe. There was only me and Zegnat, much of the time, and first we explored further his comment, during the recent Indieweb Summit talk about Events, that “most of the things discussed are already available and possible with the current IndieWeb building blocks”. So I fired up WithKnown and created an event for the virtual HWC and he replied and the reply was received and published. Just like that. Of course there are some things that could be improved, but it does Just Work.Thinking more about improving things, I shamelessly took advantage by asking a lot of ill-informed questions about how to move further in the indiewebification of my presence on the web. Martijn was so helpful and patient with me, and I learned a lot. But the truth is also that just by asking the questions out loud, and having to think clearly about how to do so, I was able to see more clearly how things might work.It’s still pretty cryptic, but I’m getting there.

Why the Price of Food has Nothing to do with the Price of Food – and why science has been corrupted, by Colin Tudge https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2017/why-the-price-of-food-has-nothing-to-do-with Wed, 12 Jul 2017 11:17:12 +0000 post publish 2017-07-12 11:17:12 2017-07-12 11:17:12
My old mucker in fine form. To whit:For in truth, the reasons why so many people in Britain cannot afford food that’s good and fresh has almost nothing to do with the cost of production; and the reasons farmers go bust has almost nothing to do with their supposed “inefficiency”; and the current obsession in high places with robots and GMOs and industrial chemistry is a horrible perversion of science and a huge waste of money which, in the end, is public money. Food is too expensive for more and more people in well-heeled Britain for three main reasons, none of which has anything directly to do with the cost of production, and none of which is alleviated by attempts to make production more “efficient” by sacking people, joining big farms into big estates, or festooning the whole exercize with high-tech. Attempts to mitigate rising prices in the short term by buying more from the world at large will only transfer misery elsewhere, as indigenous agricultures everywhere that evolved to serve the needs of their people are replaced by industrialized monocultures owned by corporates, to provide commodity crops for export.Not that anyone who needs to is listening.

So, farewell then, Clammr. And SoundCloud? https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2017/so-farewell-then-clammr-and-soundcloud Sun, 09 Jul 2017 17:04:42 +0000 post publish 2017-07-09 17:04:42 2017-07-09 17:04:42
Clammr was a service that enabled you to tweet little bits of audio. I signed up in the hope that I could use it to market my podcasts. In the end, I barely used it, because its audience didn’t seem to include people who wanted to listen to my stuff.A couple of weeks ago I got an emailDear Clammr Users:It’s time for our team to move on to new adventures. We write to inform you that we will be shutting down the Clammr service at 11:59pm ET on 2 July 2017.Thank you for all of the creativity and joy that you have shared with the world using Clammr. We’ve been inspired by the community every day and cherish having had the opportunity to get to know so many amazing and talented people.We realize that some of you may wish to keep the Clammr clips you created. We have posted instructions with a hack on how to do that in Section XIX of the User Guide. In short, you need to take three steps (1) share the clip to twitter using the Clammr app; (2) go to twitter and copy the url of the tweet; (3) enter the url on a tweet-to-MP4 conversion site to generate an MP4 video file that you can download.On the same day I saw a link to an item on Hacker News from someone at SoundCloud who was concerned that the company was in financial trouble, and wanted advice.Once is coincidenceThe HN article dated to a couple of weeks before the Clammr email, and I made a note to maybe write about it here, but I was in catch-up mode and the HN piece wasn’t signed. So, it slipped. Then Chris Aldrich linked to a piece in the New York Times announcing layoffs at SoundCloud. That offers a cloak of respectability to cover my schadenfreude.I can see why people found SoundCloud attractive: in return for an easy audio life, you put your stuff behind bars, bars that prevented other people, like me, sharing it without jumping through an absurd number of hoops. Some of those people did the smart thing, and syndicated to SoundCloud from sites they controlled, but many, many did not. Too bad. I hope some of them are now thinking about securing the availability of their work.

The continuing saga of marking up status updates in @WithKnown https://stream.jeremycherfas.net/2017/the-continuing-saga-of-marking-up-status-updates-in-withknown Sun, 09 Jul 2017 11:06:16 +0000 post publish 2017-07-09 11:06:16 2017-07-09 11:06:16
I’ve been reminded by Chris Aldrich of something I think I knew before:[M]ost major CMSes (including Known) strip out or severely limit (for security reasons) the html that is accepted in comment fields. … Many also will mark as spam comments that have one or more URLs in them. As a result doing fancy or even mildly complicated html or markdown in replies is something for which most platforms just don’t build.That’s fair enough. As ever, spammers are spoiling things for everyone. I do have an objection, though. If I am legitimately signed into my own site which, in the #indieweb, is where I will be if replying to some other site, then I’m unlikely to inject malicious code. And if I’m a spammer, and signed in under a false flag, then I’m not likely to need such subterfuges.A really helpful CMS would, surely, allow me to do all the formatting I want on something I am generating myself, regardless of the specific type of entry.Chris makes another point:The other issue in status updates and replies is that they’re often syndicated to other platforms and it’s a more difficult issue to properly do this with each snowflake social media silo depending on how they individually handle html/markdown (or not).Well, yes. But that’s not my problem on my site. Let them strip all they want, frankly, as long as the leave the link to my reply alone. As Chris acknowledges …Either way, the end result on the other person’s site isn’t something I can ever control for, so I try not to sweat it too much. :)For now, I think I’ll sweat this just a little, and add the u-in-reply-to by hand, and hope that does the needful.

Peter Molnar’s excellent guide to why you should keep your comments across the web on your own site and a high-level guide to how to do it. By high level, I mean that he walks you through the steps, not that he gives code to do anything automatically.
If nothing else, this should prompt me to devote real time to bringing all my old, carefully-hoarded entries into my new CMS.

Finally reached a key milestone in the deliverables of a big work-for-money, so was able to treat myself to an excellent video from the IndieWebSummit 2017.
First up, for me, Lillian Karabaic offering A brief history of my website. I noted a few things.
First, the video, audio and editing were top notch. Huge kudos to everyone who made this happen. They say content trumps technical quality, and it does, but when you’re not fighting quality, the value of the content is so much more obvious.
Second, and much more important, Lillian’s trajectory mirrors my own and, not surprisingly, I can relate strongly to everything she said – good and bad – about the #indieweb. The help available is stellar, the documentation isn’t great (I hope to work on that) and it is hard to evangelise.

Richard MacManus is indiewebifying his site, and had this to say:
I’ve found the IndieWeb tools to be tremendously helpful, and the community to be open and friendly. But I think my own goals are a little different. I’m less interested in the technologies themselves (like microformats and webmention) and more interested in how they’re being used in the wider Web community. Not dissimilar to my interests when I started ReadWriteWeb. But of course to do this, I need to stand on the shoulders of the developers who build the tools.
All of which sums up my own position exactly. I’d go slightly further. I’m not as interested in how the technologies are being used in the wider Web community as I am in putting them to use myself.
p.s. A major drawback of Withknown’s excellent engine is that it doesn’t allow New Posts to be replies, and that means I can’t use the MarkDown formatting.

BEIJING, June 20 (Reuters) - China will spend almost twiceas much this year on subsidies to encourage farmers in thenortheast to reduce corn plantings as it intensifies its push torebalance grain stocks.
The country will issue 2.56 billion yuan ($374.95 million)in funds to pay farmers subsidies to rotate their corn plantingswith other crops every other year as well as to leave some landfallow, the Ministry of Finance said on Tuesday.
The funds are 78 percent higher than last year, and theacreage targeted by the subsidies is double last year’s area ataround 800,000 hectares.

One is that Lukas is brave, as he recognises, to admit that some things aren’t going to plan. Another is that he used six Pomodori to write the review; that seems like time well spent. Another is that he mentions a few tools that are new to me and that I ought to check out. But there’s the rub. There’s no point checking them out unless I plan to make some use of them.
I do my monthly reviews OK, although June is delayed until next weekend because I have paid work to finish. Should I publish them, and hold myself publicly accountable? Lots of #indieweb enthusiasts are driven by data-logging themselves and making the results available. I don’t think I am, although I can see the benefits of tracking and setting specific goals.

No. 2 is my favourite:
It’s supporting their downgrading and killing the web. Your post sucks because it doesn’t contain links, styling, and you can’t enclose a podcast if you want. The more people post there, the more the web dies. I’m sorry no matter how good your idea is fuck you I won’t help you and Facebook kill the open web.

It seems that everyone is surprised to learn that there are two Americas. More surprising is the fact that rural life—idealized for its calming sensitivities and neighborly good-will—is a place of anger, local political conflict, and wide-spread alienation. Many rural residents are mad at each other, and they are mad at those who live in the throbbing metropolitan core of American capitalism. Actually, it is a surprise that everyone is surprised.

I’ve been moaning to anyone who’ll listen that there seems to be something wrong with Known; Micropubs could not seem to find the syndication targets. And other people had the same problem, I believe. But after a really enjoyable virtual Homebrew Web Club meeting, the problem might after all be at my end.
@zegnat created a fresh install of Known as we watched, hooked it up to Twitter, and was instantly rewarded with Quill seeing his syndication target, which it resolutely refused to do on my instance of Known. (It failed actually to syndicate, but that’s a separate issue.)
So, now I need to try a fresh install myself. And as @Jeena suggested, better to do that on a new and different subdomain than risk messing everything up.
Alas, there is no way on Earth I can do this until near the end of the month.
I can wait.

It proved to be a much more satisfactory an experience overall. I think if I build up a few snippets that allow me to easily produce the YAML front matter that slightly different posts require, then that will be the way to go. I still need to use the front end to check that everything is working, especially where there are images, but other than that, I think it is easier.
Glad you like the tweaks to presentation.
My big task now is to enable comments, so that I can enable webmentions. I’d like to make some progress on that before IWC Nürnberg.

I’m not the world’s tidiest person, and I am a bit of a hoarder, but I live with someone who is both less tidy and more of a hoarder than me. That frustrates me, especially over shared spaces, which almost all of them are. Chris highlighted one passage which suggests that blaming someone else for their untidiness is really about one’s own untidiness. I really don’t see, though, how to impose tidyiness on another. I can put stuff back in the “right” place over and over again, doesn’t seem to change anything.

I guess that means he’s not interested in people, like me, publishing our comments on our blogs. Of course there’s no compulsion to POSSE to be part of the #indieweb, and if you don’t want to, you shouldn’t. But I hope he’ll still accept webmentions.
The cost of poor food safety practices: $36 million in two years.

Marion Nestle links to Dole’s declarations as it prepares to go public. As ever, though, while the company may have to settle lawsuits and what have you, it does not contribute to the costs borne by those who succumb to food poisonning.

In among the firehose of suggestions to someone wanting to know “why #indieweb” was this gem from Matthew Butterick, who sets out, at great but appropriate length, precisely what is wrong with Medium.
I’ve used his advice on Practical Typography before, on one of my sites; seeing it again, I think I need to spend some time making some more deliberate choices on the site I am currently gussying up.

We tested Lydon against a bunch of other people, and he came out top among Britain’s housewives because they felt he was so uncompromising, he’d never just do an ad for the money - he’d only do it if he genuinely believed what he was saying.
In other words, he was the best person to do what we were paying him to do, because he would never do what we were paying him to do, so if he did that, it’s OK.

So Mastodon is what we don’t need. What do we need right now?
Decentralized protocols — true distributed social platforms — are very possible. There’s already a chat protocol, called Tox, that leverages a distributed hash table to store information globally across all instances, without permitting anyone to access information they don’t have the key for. It has many different clients, no centralized API with absurd limitations, and no one specially privileged official client. It’s not for persistent messaging and posts, of course, but it’s not terribly difficult to imagine a protocol that could archive content locally, that operates without any central servers or control. If we’re going to allow ourselves to be driven off Twitter, let’s not be lazy about it. Let’s work together and build something no corporation can control, and no one accident — or calculated act of malice — can wipe out.

One of the things I have a hard time wrapping my head around is the different ways in which people use different silos. Some, obviously, are different. Like super short-form Twitter. But for the others? Is it just that they want to be where all their contacts are, or is there more to it than that? Heck, I can scarcely decide whether to put things on 10C or pNut or both, so I often don’t bother.

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?

The question “does @WithKnown have a future?” is cropping up increasingly frequently of late. And the “official” answer is that it most definitely does, look at all the activity on github, nothing has changed. And it’s true, there has been a lot of activity and things are moving, if you go and look. But for someone just looking in and trying to decide whether to use the software, the lack of outward facing activity must be a bit off-putting.
Or maybe it isn’t.
I have no idea.
All this was kicked back and forth on the WithKnown IRC channel yesterday, with – alas – no input (yet?) from the developers.
I’m going to continue trying to understand Known because right now it seems to me the best place to continue pursuing #indieweb ideals.

Nick Quah’s Hot Pod newsletter is a lode from which I occasionally extract a nugget. Today, in the wake of the latest Edison Report on podcast listening (in the US) he quotes a bloke from Audible who says:
To me, the fact that 40% of US adults have tried podcasting, yet only half of them listen regularly, that’s astounding. Show me any other medium that has that gap. None. When people sample and don’t habituate, it speaks to interest that isn’t being met by the content that’s available today. There either isn’t enough variety of things for people to listen to —or there isn’t enough of what they like to meet their appetite. With 350,000 podcasts, that seems like a strange thing to say, but the simple truth is that potential listeners aren’t sticking with it — and there are only two potential reasons: not enough good stuff — or they simply can’t find it. Solving this could go as far as doubling the audience for podcasting.
I wonder why “Eric Nuzum, Audible’s SVP of Original Content,” even bothers to raise the straw man of not enough content. And why he does not raise the question that discovery and subscription are two sides of the same coin. Right now, neither discovery nor subscription is easy.
Nick Quah himself doesn’t think discovery is a problem, and that’s a problem for me. He says:
It has always occurred to me that discovery functions in the podcasting space along the same dynamics as the rest of the internet; there is simply so much stuff out there, and so the problem isn’t the discovering an experience in and of itself — it’s discovering a worthwhile or meaningful experience within a universe of deeply suboptimal experiences.
But to me that seems to miss the essential difference between audio and the other things on the internet.
It is hard to get audio at a glance. And the solution is not to make ever shorter bits of attention-grabbing audio. It is to find other ways to recommend and share audio in ways that make it easy to hear a piece, to sample a show and eventually, maybe, to subscribe.

Rory Stewart reviews ‘Aleppo Observed’by Maurits H. van den Boogert · LRB 16 February 2017
Behind a paywall, alas, but trust me, this is a cut-and-paste quotation:
And although van den Boogert is more disparaging of the Russells’ichthyology – ‘based almost exclusively on what they were served at the consular table, and possibly what they observed in the stalls of the fish market’– he cannot fail to be impressed by their catalogue of more than seven hundred Syrian plants, two of which, a sage and a milk-vetch, are now named the Phlomis Russeliana and the Astragalus Russell.
Which just goes to show. You can walk across Afghanistan, be UK Minister of State for International Development, wear your extensive learning as lightly as you please and still screw up scientific names.
Scientific names are strong proper names, which take no the.

From the abstract:
Examines critically the origins and basis of ‘knowledge management’, its components and its development as a field of consultancy practice. Problems in the distinction between ‘knowledge’ and ‘information’ are explored, as well as Polanyi’s concept of ‘tacit knowing’. The concept is examined in the journal literature, the Web sites of consultancy companies, and in the presentation of business schools. The conclusion is reached that ‘knowledge management’ is an umbrella term for a variety of organizational activities, none of which are concerned with the management of knowledge. Those activities that are not concerned with the management of information are concerned with the management of work practices, in the expectation that changes in such areas as communication practice will enable information sharing.

AoBBlog asks the crucial questions: “what to call scientific binomials”. Seems like they’ve come down in favour of “scientific name” rather than “Latin name”. I’m fine with that, as long as people at least try to provide that name, rather than so-called “common” names. I’ve ranted about that before, and doubtless will again. All we have to do now is to teach the world that scientific names are strong proper names

People sometimes ask me what the best method of preserving their pictures is, and my somewhat flip but I believe trenchant answer is, “be famous.”
The idea that things are worthless or, worse, actually cost money to hang onto, means things that might be of value some day get discarded. Mike says craftsmanship will also help preserve things, including photographs, but the other thing you need is space, and preferably a permanent home.

As a matter of styling, perhaps the Kindle location of the text could be less prominent, but that’s probably gilding the lily.
What I’ve learned is that it probably pays to take more time when actually highlighting the text and writing the notes. But the clunky Kindle keyboard does one no favours. #indieweb

Still need to do a bit of styling; where there is a note attached to a highlight, it would be good to be able to have them side by side, as it were. Trouble is, the styling that Kindle delivers out of the box does not make that easy. #indieweb

I tested the native embed, as it were, by tacking /embed onto a URL, and it is not very attractive. But customising the embed by using the other image and the audio will take a bit of work. I have found some useful resources for that, notably https://www.sitepoint.com/customizing-wordpress-oembed-content/ for the code needed.
Might also be worth implementing a different audio player on the site – using this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/pb-oembed-html5-audio-with-cache-support/ – but still feeding it the blueberry version of the audio URL to maintain continuity of stats.

I do, however, feel that there’s room for both a quick roundup of what’s happening in the #indieweb, in the way that Marty has pioneered, and for something a little more discursive. I could easily record interviews with the protagonists over Skype or similar, if they are willing. And if I weren’t so geographically isolated here in Rome, I could even try to get to some Indie Web Camps or HWCs and do on the spot recordings.
My feeling is that these kinds of podcasts could help people to embrace and adopt the indieweb. There could also be a role for Q type things in the longer podcasts.

Further to my note about a new #podcast about #indieweb things, I listened to Marty McGuire’s rendering of This Week in the Indieweb. I really enjoyed it, even though I had read the text version. Production and audio were top notch, and it was very clear. My only quibbles concern the pace and the audience. Even as a native English speaker, and despite Marty’s very clear diction, it seemed a bit speedy to me. I wonder whether less fluent listeners manage to get it all.A second, similar point, about the audience. In my estimate, as a newcomer to indieweb and a less than expert person, some of the stuff whizzed right by me. But if I were familiar with it all, I’d probably be keeping up with the IRC channels and the indieweb.org pages and so I’m not too sure why I’d need an audio version. But that’s just a matter of choice.The slightly bigger question is, would there be an audience for a more discursive podcast about the indieweb? Marty would be in favour. So would Chris Aldrich, who started this ball rolling for me. There’s a fair bit of audio tagged indieweb at huff duffer, but nothing, apparently, dedicated to the topic.We certainly have the technology to produce something that captures the history, what’s happening now and how things might develop. There’s no way I could do that on my own – not least because I don’t know enough to ask intelligent questions – but with a co-host or two it would be a really interesting project.

Further to this morning’s minirant about blocking Instapaper, I’ve now discovered that some sites – I’m looking at you, HuffPo – don’t want me to be able to speed read, which I’m doing with a nifty little thing called Spritz.

It looks really interesting.

Fine, for them, but more than a silo, SoundCloud is a locked room. I use Huffduffer.com a lot to sample audio and – even more – to share what I’m sampling and to see what other people are sharing. A sort of recommendation engine, if you like, though not a very powerful one, I admit. And SoundCloud deliberately makes it hard to share. There are ways around that barrier, of course, but not everyone will want to use them. And so, as ever, by hosting on SoundCloud you may be denying yourself listeners. #indieweb

Bummed out by the fact that Quill wasn’t enabling me to syndicate directly to Twitter, I followed up on some good advice from Daniel Gold: Back to basics, uninstall and reinstall plugins one by one. Shades of WordPress. So I did that, and here’s what I found:With IndieSyndicate configured (via silo.pub) I can posts to Twitter just fine, but Quill still does not see that as a Syndication target and Quill cannot post to my site.In retrospect, that’s obvious, because there is no endpoint at my site.So I enabled IndiePub and now Quill posts fine, but it still does not see any Syndication target.I probably just have to live with that. At least for now.Finally, re-enabled Brid.gy and everything looks good once again. Just for the record, here, I’ve decided that for now I do not need these plugins: Static pages, Firefox, Events, Custom JS, Custom CSS, Comics, Audio, API tester. That may change in time.

I’d say that this would make the whole idea of #indieweb a lot more tenable to a bunch of people in what the gurus call generations 3 and 4. Maybe even 2, which is where I see myself.
All that stuff and nonsense about having a local development environment and then pushing that out to a production site via whatever sync method you can manage to work at any given moment would disappear in a puff of smoke. I’d happily pay for one of those coffee-cup sized servers.
