This looks really interesting. So much so I could probably get on board with this |
| 09:48 |
|
prologic_ |
It has all the features I want: decentralized, federated, privacy focused |
| 09:49 |
|
pdurbin |
Huh, a federated blog. |
| 09:50 |
|
pdurbin |
reminds me a bit of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smallest_Federated_Wiki |
| 09:51 |
|
prologic_ |
yeah |
| 09:51 |
|
prologic_ |
its intruging enough for me to spin this thing up |
| 09:51 |
|
prologic_ |
and give it a serious go |
| 09:51 |
|
prologic_ |
everything else I've found are either immature or buggy |
| 09:51 |
|
pdurbin |
and it's written in go, which is a win for us :) |
| 09:51 |
|
prologic_ |
this is well polished but still open source and you can run it yourself |
| 09:51 |
|
prologic_ |
yeap |
| 09:51 |
|
prologic_ |
the nice thing is they also have hosted versions too |
| 09:52 |
|
prologic_ |
for the lazy and/or non-tech savvy |
| 09:52 |

$1/month is not a lot to ask |
| 09:52 |
|
pdurbin |
nope |
| 09:54 |

I still haven't really committed to the fediverse. I created an account on the flagship Mastodon server about a year ago (while at LibrePlanet 2018) and I PM people on there sometimes but I haven't tooted yet. I'm trying to figure out how much I want to self-host. Right now I run some static sites, philbot, and weechat. Pretty light. |

*nods* |
| 09:57 |
|
prologic_ |
I'm going to give this a try and see how it goes |
| 09:57 |
|
prologic_ |
I prefer to self-host everythiung and have prologic.shortcircuit.net.au |
| 09:57 |
|
prologic_ |
but I write very little and find it tedious in between work and family life |
| 09:57 |
|
prologic_ |
this Writefreely software may encourage me to write small tid bits more often |
| 09:58 |
|
pdurbin |
Nice. I'd like to write more. Have you seen my latest sloppy writing effort? :) |
| 11:01 |
|
prologic_ |
pdurbin I have not :/ |
| 11:01 |
|
prologic_ |
and that's what I think makes something like Writefreely so attractive |
| 11:02 |
|
prologic_ |
I get to follow you :) |
| 11:02 |
|
prologic_ |
Without all the crap that is Twitter or Facebook and supported by a BS business model of serving you ads, wher eyou have no control over your own data, etc, etc, et |
| 11:10 |

prologic: mostly I've just been hacking on a README. I'd love to hear what you think: https://github.com/good-labs/slopi-communication |

|
* prologic |
reads |
| 11:14 |
|
prologic |
hmm |
| 11:14 |
|
prologic |
this is interesting stuff |
| 11:14 |
|
prologic |
and totally makes sense -- for FOSS especially |
| 11:14 |
|
pdurbin |
yeah, the focus is FOSS projects |
| 11:17 |
|
prologic |
*nods* |
| 11:18 |
|
pdurbin |
It's sort of the start of a bigger idea. |
| 11:18 |
|
pdurbin |
Well, some related ideas. |
| 11:18 |
|
pdurbin |
I'm thinking that open source projects should favor communicating in public. |
| 11:19 |
|
pdurbin |
And they should either self host everything or do some "data liberation" of their messages on Google Groups or whatever else they use. |
| 11:20 |
|
pdurbin |
And then they should consider indexing all that data into a project-specific search engine. Solr or ElasticSearch or whatever. And offer this search to their community. |
| 11:20 |
|
pdurbin |
It wouldn't be hard to improve on the Gitter search experience. But first you need to liberate the data and index it. |

so far so good |

oooh, writefreely looks very promising to me. I've brainstormed several ideas/writing prompts this year, but haven't gotten around to writing most of them up into full articles (even draft quality, let alone publishable). One of the reasons is that I want a) easy workflow, b) (reasonably) pleasant presentation, c) portability/trivial selfhosting. |
| 20:54 |
|
prologic |
dotplus yeah me too |
| 20:54 |
|
prologic |
And I think writegreely ticks all the boxes for me |
| 20:54 |
|
prologic |
and you |

prologic: can I subscribe to your blog from mastodon? |
