The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

It’s going to be interesting to watch how organisations deal with Musk’s toxic Twitter rampage.

Nice to see @glass being thoughtful about this.

1. I use Hand Mirror pretty much every single day.
2. @rafa fills this simple and handy little app with so much thought and joy that purchasing Hand Mirror Pro "generously" was the easiest decision ever.

It's nice to be able to sensibly pay the developers who make things for the things that they make for us! We *can* have nice things.

Having all too much fun experimenting with automatically stashing new #Mastodon posts to my private archive in GitHub.

Events and triggers and APIs FTW!

Inspired by @philnash — here's how to alias your #mastodon account to your own domain with just a #Netlify redirect rule.

https://www.hawksworx.com/blog/alias-your-mastodon-username-to-your-domain-with-one-netlify-config-setting/

tl;dr:

```toml
[[redirects]]
from = "/.well-known/webfinger"
to = "https://indieweb.social/.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct:HANDLE@INSTANCE"
status = 200

```

We began by singing In Flanders Fields which was brimming with emotion when sung in this very significant location.

Still full of pride and emotion after singing at the Menin Gate in Belgium.

We sang Danny Boy as a wreath was laid during the last post ceremony

The following night 150 of us sang at the 32,711th Last Post Service here at the Menin Gate in Ypres.

Moody Bruges.

I’m in Bruges to sing with my choir and it is giving us some stupidly moody vibes. Wonderful.

Today I saw what *real* passion and commitment looks like, when @DavidDarnes started telling me about the different levels of filling he'd encountered in various brands of mince pies.

A little update: I've just learned that while this is true in the `tweets.js` file that contains all of your tweets, you can cross-reference that with the `twitter-circle-tweet.js` to find things you posted into circles.

Caution is still needed if, like me, you roll your own archive view of your tweets. But the data is present in your export after all. Just in a different file from from your tweets.

It's been fun adding the archive of my tweets to my own site.

https://www.hawksworx.com/notes/

- Index of all tweets paginated into ~1000 pre-gen pages
- ODB (on-demand) render + cache of any specific tweet page
- Speedy (but basic for now) searching with Edge Functions

No, I haven't just spent hours looking for an error in my code only to realise I was
"discovering" a known and documented limitation with a tool I was using. Why do you ask?

Note to future me — Read the docs.
Another note to future me — Really. Go and read the docs.

The Muppet’s Christmas Carol is Michael Caine’s best movie.

I've never heard a @zachleat interview I didn't enjoy.

This one with @davatron5000 and @chriscoyier of #ShopTalkShow is a great peek into WebC, @eleventy, a return to pre-SPA architectures, and thoughtfulness over how we build things together. Lovely.

This is good to see.

https://remix.run/blog/open-development

And as @biilmann said over on twitter, "Open source done with secret roadmaps and surprise launches is very different from a truly open collaborative processes that allow all users of the project to plan ahead and align around future roadmap items."

I heartily agree. Bravo, Remix team!

A handy tidbit from @davatron5000’s RSS feed about grabbing stills from videos on the web:

@michaelklein @zachleat I did something similar for a bit.

Stage 1, seeing if Mastodon suited me:
Crosspost my tweets to here.

Stage 2, happy here. Leave breadcrumbs:
Switch to crossposting toots to twitter.

Stage 3, giving up on twitter:
Remove crossposting and get comfy here.

Feeling pretty at ease going quiet over there now, and just participating in what feels like a much more constructive environment here.

I really like this feature.
The number of times I've gone hunting for the forgotten noisy tab in my previous browsers! Or had the item I've been listening to stop because I tabbed away.

More than happy to send feedback as an issue in a repo of that is better, but since I can't access that at this stage, here's a little thing I noticed:

The link to my profile in the top right has some overflow issues for the long-ish name I have.

Once again... this all looks and feels outstanding!

YES! Seeing that piqued my interest immediately.

Pinafore has been getting lots of positive attention due to its good accessibility support, so I wonder where you are on that particular frontier. Could be an important differentiator for wide adoption

Ooooh! First impressions are amazing!
This looks outstanding.

Do you want any feedback in the form of issues or PRs as I spend time using this? (Only asking as I see one tiny UI issue and I'd like to only give feedback in a helpful way — or just hush up if that is most helpful :) )
