I think I may need a how-to on ActivityPub. The goal and the approach sound so promising. But how do you “implement” this, if that’s even a right way to describe? Can I make, for example, my blog an ActivityPub enabled site? I could hardly find any helpful documentation.
Thoughts
I decided today that I do not want to display the likes, replies and repost types of posts on my blog’s homepage. It looked too crowded on there for my liking.
I consider these as the social posts - may be they will fit better in a section of their own.
Sleep has to be one of the costliest currencies out there. You borrow some from your daily kitty and you have to pay back with some high interest rate. That is over and above the drab feeling you carry throughout the day. It’s better not to lose any sleep over losing sleeping.
A trail in nature, to serenity. A quest to seek calmness. When your reinvigorated mind carries your weary body through.
So is it time now to dust-off our old Tumblr blogs now? I know we are (finally) fed up of Twitter and Facebook policy swings. But that doesn’t mean we should forget why the platforms that failed, did so in the first place. No point joining back before those issues are addressed.
Blotpub update: Endpoint now supports uploading photos, however just as multipart data. So you would not be able to upload the images from Micro.blog official apps yet. But you should be able to do so via Quill, as I did my last photo post.
I seriously wonder how different is Mastodon from Twitter - of course, other than the fact that it is distributed. It solves none of Twitter‘s core problem — it’s still a stream of posts which are difficult to follow. And hence is prone to fail at scale.
Am I missing something?
There are colors that nature paints just to brighten your day!
Meditation
I have been a lot restless these last few days. My mind wanders a lot, it’s cluttered, full of thoughts. Full of things I need to do. Things that I can, I should do. I start working on one, and then my mind forces me to move on to another. Without completing any.
I do not think that’s really healthy. I think I may have to put my mind at rest.
Meditation is, of course, one of the way. So I started looking out for all the help possible, to figure out how to get started. And guess what? It’s a market full of catchy, link-baity articles from opportunistic freaks. Anyway, I think I may not get much help on the internet; may be there is just no need to go out there, seeking help on getting started. I may as well just get started - so I have started with an app called Oak. I have had a couple of sessions and have been pretty satisfied.
I will continue to have these sessions as beginner and see what happens. I am really hopeful that meditation helps, that it allows me to regain focus. I know few people who have benefitted, I know of a strong proponent in @ablaze. Actually, it is his experiences that have inspired me towards meditation.
If these couple of sessions are any indication, am sure it will be a good experience to go through.
