<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:space="preserve">Last week at a #HomebrewWebsiteClub session<a id="t5Zo1_ref-1" href="#t5Zo1_note-1">¹</a> I pointed out that I was working on implementing a “simple” way to support embeds of my notes, that is, make my short notes embeddable, like how people embed tweets or toots. I noted that to keep it as simple as possible while being flexible to implementation changes, I planned to implement three things: 1. A separate “embed” version of my post permalinks, with just the entry information (no header, nav, search, sidebar, footer etc.), embeddable via copy/paste or an iframe. 2. A way to “Follow Your Nose” discover that separate embed version 3. A way to discover the original post from the embedded version For (1) a minimal h-entry, with perhaps a little bit of inline CSS would suffice. For (2) I proposed using “rel=embed” which I’ve subsequently written up briefly<a id="t5Zo1_ref-2" href="#t5Zo1_note-2">²</a>. For (3) The obvious existing answer is rel=canonical link from the embed version to the canonical post permalink. Soon thereafter, several folks in the #IndieWeb community went ahead and implemented such embeds for their own sites, and even the <a class="auto-link" href="https://libre.fm/">https://libre.fm/</a> open scrobbling service! <a class="auto-link" href="https://indieweb.org/embed#IndieWeb_Examples">https://indieweb.org/embed#IndieWeb_Examples</a> I have yet to implement it myself, and that’s fine. This is one of the things I appreciate about the community, we can share our plans and ideas for improving things on our own sites, and if someone else does it first, that's great! We celebrate it and explore the solution space together. Got other ideas for simple embeds? Want to implement them on your own site? Join us in the #indiewebdev chat: <a class="auto-link" href="https://chat.indieweb.org/dev">https://chat.indieweb.org/dev</a> UPDATE: What about oEmbed? tl;dr: oEmbed requires JS and backend code, more work and unsuitable for embeds from static site hosting (like GitHub pages). A simple HTML method is accessible to many more independent publishers and easier to implement.

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:space="preserve">Bing use-case! AKA One Weird Trick Time And Date Sites Hate In my prior post<a id="t5ZV3_ref-1" href="#t5ZV3_note-1">¹</a> I noted that I use 'b' as a Search Shortcut for #Bing. Here is why: * quickly view a Gregorian calendar month display, with readable days, days of the week, and weekends & holidays highlighted. E.g. I type this into my Firefox address bar: b dec 2024 then press return and immediately see: <a class="auto-link figure" href="https://www.bing.com/search?q=dec+2024"><img class="auto-embed" alt="Screenshot of a Firefox private browsing window searching Bing for dec 2024 and showing a big text display of the month of December 2024 with headings for the days of the week and weekends and holidays highlighted." src="https://indieweb.org/images/8/81/2024-10-13-bing-dec-2024.png"/></a> Only Microsoft Bing search supports this. On other search engines (Duckduckgo, Google, Yahoo) all you get are links to random date time sites littered with ads, or blurry images of calendar months where the day numbers and holidays are too small to read. This is something I have informally complained about to friends for years, that if you use Google Search for unit conversions, simple arithmetic, and even names of holidays, you get a nice large font “featured snippet” display of exactly your answer. But not something as simple as a month and year or even month with the implication that you want to see the current or next instance of that month. How hard can that be to build? 12 names of months. 12 more 3-letter abbreviations. Multiplied by however number of languages supported. An intern could code that in under an hour. Someone has likely already written a regular expression for detecting this. (Aside: I tried year first, e.g. 2024 Dec, and hilariously enough that did not work to show the nice month display. So I suspect there is a minimal regular expression under the covers of this Bing feature.) From having tried search engines for years, I was pretty convinced no one supported this. Then on a whim I tried this in Bing recently (maybe I hadn’t before?) and to my pleasant surprise it worked. There you have it, a use-case for Bing that only works in Bing, and reason enough to add a 'b' Search Shortcut in Firefox for Bing. #search #webSearch #SearchShortcut #Microsoft #BingTip #searchTip #calendar #month <a id="t5ZV3_note-1" href="#t5ZV3_ref-1">¹</a> <a class="auto-link" href="https://tantek.com/2024/287/t2/setup-search-shortcuts-firefox">https://tantek.com/2024/287/t2/setup-search-shortcuts-firefox</a></div>

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:space="preserve">No I did not block you on the #fediverse / #Mastodon / #Misskey etc. If you were following me <a class="auto-link" href="https://tantek.com">@tantek.com</a> on your client/server/instance of choice but noticed you were no longer doing so, that was due to a recent software bug in my fediverse provider which accidentally caused everyone’s #ActivityPub servers to unfollow me (bug details below). No it’s absolutely not your fault, you did nothing wrong. We need a variant of Hanlon’s Razor<a id="t5ZV1_ref-1" href="#t5ZV1_note-1">¹</a> like: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by a software bug.” Take another look at my posts if you want (directly on <a class="auto-link" href="https://tantek.com">@tantek.com</a> or try searching for that on your instance) and if you like what you see or find them otherwise informative and useful, feel free to refollow. If not, no worries! Also no worries if you ever unfollow/refollow for any reason. I mean that. I always assume people know best how to manage their online reader/reading experiences, everyone’s priorities and likes/dislikes change over time, and encourage everyone to make choices that are best for their mental health and overall joy online. Bug details: This was due to a #BridgyFed bug<a id="t5ZV1_ref-2" href="#t5ZV1_note-2">²</a> that deleted my profile (“ActivityPub actor”) from (nearly?) all instances, making everyone’s accounts automatically unfollow me, as well as remove any of my posts from your likes and reposts (boosts) collections. It also removed my posts from any of your replies to my posts, leaving your replies dangling without reply-contexts. Apologies! The bug was introduced accidentally as part of another fix about a month ago<a id="t5ZV1_ref-3" href="#t5ZV1_note-3">³</a>, and was triggered within the following week<a id="t5ZV1_ref-4" href="#t5ZV1_note-4">⁴</a>. Anyone following me before ~2024-09-22 was no longer following me. A few folks have noticed and refollowed. Any likes or reposts of my posts before that date were also undone (removed). Ryan (<a class="auto-link" href="https://snarfed.org">@snarfed.org</a>) has been really good about giving folks a heads-up, and apologizing, and quickly doing what he can to fix things. Bugs happen, yes even in production code, so please do not post/send any hate. I’d rather be one of the folks helping with improving BridgyFed, and temporary setbacks like this are part of being an early / eager #IndieWeb adopter. This bug has also revealed some potential weaknesses in other ActivityPub implementations. E.g. deleting an “actor” should be undoable, and undoing a delete should reconnect everything, from follows to likes & reposts collections, to reply-contexts. Perhaps the ActivityPub specification could be updated with such guidance (if it hasn’t been already, I need to double-check). To be clear, I’m still a big supporter of #BridgyFed, #ActivityPub, #Webmention, and everyone who chooses to implement these and other #IndieWeb related and adjacent protocols as best fits their products and services. All of these are a part of our broader open #socialWeb, and making all these #openStandards work well together (including handling edge-cases and mistakes!) is essential for providing #socialMedia alternatives that put users first.

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:space="preserve">⚠️ .io domain<a id="t5ZT1_ref-1" href="#t5ZT1_note-1">¹</a> likely being phased-out<a id="t5ZT1_ref-2" href="#t5ZT1_note-2">²</a> — seven suggested steps Good article in The Verge summarizing recent .io related events, see that for more context if this is news to you: * <a class="auto-link" href="https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/8/24265441/uk-treaty-end-io-domain-chagos-islands">https://www.theverge.com/2024/10/8/24265441/uk-treaty-end-io-domain-chagos-islands</a> It looks likely .io (and .io domains) will go away in the next few years (as .cs and .yu did<a id="t5ZT1_ref-3" href="#t5ZT1_note-3">³</a>), so here are my suggested steps to take depending on your usage of .io domains: 1. Avoid buying new .io domains (or making plans with existing ones; sell if you can) 2. If you currently run a .io service<a id="t5ZT1_ref-4" href="#t5ZT1_note-4">⁴</a> (for a company or community), make and publicize a transition plan (like a new domain, redirection, orderly shutdown plan for redirects) 3. If you have a personal site on a .io domain<a id="t5ZT1_ref-5" href="#t5ZT1_note-5">⁵</a> or subdomain, make your own transition plan, and perhaps post about how others should link to your posts 4. If you are using someone else’s .io domain to publish (like #GitHubPages<a id="t5ZT1_ref-6" href="#t5ZT1_note-6">⁶</a>), make a transition plan to publish elsewhere and leave a forwarding note and link behind 5. If you use a .io domain as your Web sign-in login on any sites, switch them to another non-io personal domain 6. Similarly if your site accepts #WebSignIn logins (via #IndieAuth, #RelMeAuth, or even #OpenID), consider discouraging any new sign-ups from .io domains, and warning any existing users with .io domains to switch per # 5 7. If you have posts (or a whole #indieweb site) with links to .io sites or pages (like those in 2-4 above), make a plan for editing those links to point to an alternative or an archival copy (like on the Internet Archive) And of course, post about your #dotIO plans.

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:space="preserve">I have put a lot of thought into deliberately shifting<a id="t5ZR1_ref-1" href="#t5ZR1_note-1">¹</a> metaphors<a id="t5ZR1_ref-2" href="#t5ZR1_note-2">²</a>, often in the context of the #indieweb<a id="t5ZR1_ref-3" href="#t5ZR1_note-3">³</a>. One goal is to replace use of violent or divisive metaphors with actively constructive, cooperative, or joyful alternatives, like: * gardening/farming e.g. digital garden<a id="t5ZR1_ref-4" href="#t5ZR1_note-4">⁴</a> * biology/ecology/nature e.g. digital ecosystem<a id="t5ZR1_ref-5" href="#t5ZR1_note-5">⁵</a> * cooking/baking e.g. eat your own cooking<a id="t5ZR1_ref-6" href="#t5ZR1_note-6">⁶</a> * toolmaking, clothing making, other useful crafts e.g. sew what you want<a id="t5ZR1_ref-7" href="#t5ZR1_note-7">⁷</a> * music, dancing, painting, and other expressive crafts e.g. remixing<a id="t5ZR1_ref-8" href="#t5ZR1_note-8">⁸</a> * travel, navigation, maps e.g. information superhighway<a id="t5ZR1_ref-9" href="#t5ZR1_note-9">⁹</a> * games, sports, running, e.g. surfing the net<a id="t5ZR1_ref-10" href="#t5ZR1_note-10">¹⁰</a> Some of these areas are well developed (sports metaphors), others are obvious or emergent from various IndieWeb efforts like our principles<a id="t5ZR1_ref-11" href="#t5ZR1_note-11">¹¹</a>, and others could use brainstorming and experimentation. Thoughts and words, whether spoken or written, influence each other in reinforcement feedback loops. Consciously choosing one can impact the other and vice versa. Especially in messages to others or our even future selves, words and metaphors communicate and reinforce our values and thus merit care in their invention<a id="t5ZR1_ref-12" href="#t5ZR1_note-12">¹²</a> and usage. What are metaphors you have found constructive, cooperative, or joyful?
