Notes are for small posts, links, anything I don't feel merits a full post.

Rubs hands with glee oh boy

A picture of the composer UI on my Mastodon instance. The character limit has been increased to 5000.

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

Had some lovely Japanese food. Shout out to the couple next for us who asked for spoons for miso soup

My partner and a load of really great food

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.
