@yatil @estelle XSLT is pretty prominent in the Swedish CMS SiteVision as well. So, I have been exposed to a lot more XSLT than is healthy through my career. 😅

@manton I wonder what indie developers think about the split (if that’s what’s going to happen). They can avoid the Apple Tax and even the App Store entirely for their EU customers. However, if they want to sell to people outside the EU, they’ll need to maintain a separate version of the app that uses Apple’s payment system, follows their guidelines, and so on.

This additional work might eat away at the extra profit. The only clear winners are developers who exclusively serve EU customers and have no interest in other markets.

@abc That’s weird, it still works for me. Are you maybe using a Micro.blog app? I know some clients get confused occasionally when following URLs on the micro.blog domain (they think the link points to a user profile when it’s not). Try accessing Micro.blog from your web browser instead and follow the link from there.

> So for someone like myself, you see, I can only guess that either no one is posting about Gaza and Palestine and very few about climate. Perhaps this is true. But I have no way of knowing.

One neat thing about Micro.blog is that it embraces the open web. It’s a website, and thus is indexed by most general purpose search engines. So you don’t have to guess, if you want to know if fellow Micro.bloggers posts about Gaza, search for site:micro.blog gaza using your favorite search engine.

> But as search in Discover only yields results from posts previously featured it’s incredibly limited.

Yeah, I’m with you, I wouldn’t mind a more extensive search, either. 😊 But, between Manton’s philosophy and the Discover timeline guidelines, I think it’s pretty clear that we won’t see full-text search nor political posts there anytime soon.

But let’s pretend for a while that Manton suddenly changes his mind and makes all Micro.blog hosted blogs searchable, we would probably still have a hard time finding every interest under the sun represented. Why?

Because the Micro.blog community is relatively small, around 7,400 monthly active users. So the chance of finding a person who is both interested in and willing to blog about the Israel–Hamas war is slim compared to finding them, for example, on Facebook with its roughly 3,000,000,000 monthly active users.

The most diverse expression of humanity online you will find on the internet at large, we’re currently around 5.3 billion people on here. So instead of looking for interesting folks based on which blogging software they use, I encourage everyone to start exploring the entire web. (And if you don’t mind wandering off the beaten path, there’s fascinating writing going on in people’s gopher holes and capsules as well.)

Marginalia is a free search engine that focuses on the non-commercial web. Kagi is a paid for search engine which lets you search the small web. And then there’s blogrolls and directories like Gossip’s web and ooh.directory.

@davemark I would have done it from my watch. If I forgot to wear it that day, then I would have to contact a family member and have them lock my phone.

But, yeah, in the end there’s no such thing as 100% protection. We have to live with some amount of risk.

@manton Yeah, the storage eviction in Safari is frustrating. You might have some luck with the Storage API and navigator.storage.persist(). It’s not guaranteed, though.

> Origin might be excluded from eviction if it has active page at the time of eviction, or its storage is in persistent mode. By default, all origins use a best-effort mode, which means their persistence is not guaranteed and their data can be evicted. An origin can request persistent mode using the Storage API introduced below.

From Updates to Storage Policy on the WebKit blog.

@todor That’s right, you can’t point to a specific branch, unfortunately. You could fork the theme, hook up your test blog to the fork, and then send everything upstream when you’re happy with your changes.

I find the test blog most useful for testing out quick ideas and small changes. When doing extensive theme or plug-in development, I usually work offline with hugo on my own machine.

@snowracer Det är inte helt lätt! Jag tänkte skriva att Sanna och jag omedvetet dopaminfastat i ett par dagar – efter allt julfirande tog vi oss upp hit till stugan för lite lugn och ro. Men så insåg jag att mitt belöningssystem går igång ganska hårt även när jag får vara ute på sköna vinterpromenader, grilla kôrv, läsa, elda i kaminen och så vidare. Så vet inte om det är så mycket fasta att tala om egentligen. 😅

@renevanbelzen Okay, did you give Hugo a couple of minutes or so to rebuild your site? Depending on Micro.blog’s job queue, rebuilding a site can take a while. If you want to try again, do it like this:

  1. Remove any manually created page with a path like /search-space/.

  2. Install Search Space.

  3. Go to the logs page and force a full rebuild of your site. (Keep an eye out for error messages.)

  4. Wait for the Publish: Done 🎉 message and then navigate to https://renevanbelzen.micro.blog/search-space/.

Hopefully, that will do it. 😊

@pratik Thanks! 2023 has been a low-output year for me when it comes to video. The itch to create is there, though! 😊

@jarrod Oh, wow, thanks! The little library is deep in winter slumber right now, but should you ever find yourself in Sweden during not winter you’re welcome to check it out.

@renevanbelzen By the way, have you seen #DecemberAdventure? It’s a relaxed, low-key alternative to Advent of Code. “The goal is to write a little bit of code every day in December.” I’m not participating, but I enjoy following along.

@renevanbelzen Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to suggest that the coding was trivial in my previous comment. The first puzzle can indeed be quite challenging for people new to programming, especially if they’ve chosen to write the solution for a C64. 😉 What I meant to say was that the hardware should be able to tackle the problem without breaking a sweat.

@genmon That’s a cute addition! I’ve had a lot of multiplayer fun with just the cursors on your site in the past. More than once, I’ve ended up “drawing” shapes with strangers. I move my mouse in a triangle pattern, someone in the US answers with a circle, and so on. 😊

@anniegreens I’m a regular ShopTalk Show listener, so it was a nice surprise when they discussed your post (I had already read it by then). Two of my worlds colliding. 😊 I totally get that it felt a bit weird for you, though. Thanks for sharing!

@vincent I’ve come across a handful of those myself during my career – both paying customers and people using my free software. So you’re not alone, at least, and I know the feeling.

And for what it’s worth, Gluon is one of those apps that is just a joy to use. I love that piece of software. Pure craftsmanship!

@pratik Thanks. The error is thrown by a line of code that tries to fetch one blog post from the category named now. For some reason, it fails. Instead of getting a list of blog posts to pick the latest one from, Hugo gets nothing and thus throws an error.

Could it have something to do with partial rebuilds, @manton? When Hugo tries to construct Pratik’s now page, there are no posts available during build time. Maybe?

@pratik Which theme, plug-in, or custom theme provides the template now/single.html and is it public somewhere to read?

@kottkrig Ser fantastiskt gött ut! Å jag har ingen rätt att döma, igår blev det rullmacka med leverpastej till kvällsmat i det här hushållet. 😋

@crossingthethreshold Okay, thanks for all that info. I’m currently out of ideas. 😊 It’s weird; it sounds like you and I have mostly the same setup (same theme, plug-ins, etc.) so it should work on 0.117. But I’m afraid only @manton, who has access to your site’s build logs, can troubleshoot this further.

@crossingthethreshold My blog is on 0.117 with Tiny and my own plug-ins installed. So it’s probably not them causing the trouble, unless you’re running older versions of the theme or plug-ins. Do you have a custom theme applied to your blog? cc @manton

@crossingthethreshold Okay, thanks for getting back. I went through all the official themes (published by @manton) and made them compatible with Hugo 0.117 back in August. But, of course, I’m not infallible. 😊 So if you’re using an official theme, and you’re sure it’s not any of the plug-ins or a custom theme that causes the trouble, please let me know, and I will get the theme fixed for 0.117.

@crossingthethreshold Ah, you should probably go back to bed then. 😊 A question for the morning: do you have any feeds set up other than your blog’s? From the error message, it sounds like Micro.blog is trying to fetch a feed from a server with an invalid certificate.
