brid.gy I would obviously keep, because brid.gy is incredible

What I think I’d like is some sort of simple web server that sits next to Hugo and provides the Micropub/Webmention endpoints and serves the site. I think having the content live in Git rather than a DB is definitely something I’d want to keep.

So at this point I’ve got:

• Hugo website hosted on GitHub Pages, deployed by GitHub Actions
• Micropub and media endpoints running on AWS Lambda, with API Gateway stuff
• Brid.gy to syndicate things and backfeed interactions
• Webmention.io to collect webmentions

Does it work? Yes! Is it better than if I’d just written a fucking server? hahahaha no

At this point Embracer Group are just committing mass vandalism to an entire artistic medium. Fuck ’em.

Spotted so many red kites on the bus to Oxford. Hard to believe these were once extinct in England!

I ended up moving my Micropub endpoint from DigitalOcean to Lambda - I usually prefer working on DO (the AWS console/config is just painful) but the lack of support for custom domains, plus the 1MB limit on POST requests, kind of made the choice obvious.

If you’re reading this post on Mastodon, it’s gone through a fairly baroque sequence of steps:

• A Micropub endpoint running as a serverless function
• Hugo to build for my website
• A hacky GHA script to run the publishing
• brid.gy to do the actual publishing.

Still, it’s nice to be able to write on my static site and have it syndicated without touching Git.
