When working with Linux or any other operating system, you might encounter the terms localhost and 127.0.0.1 quite often. They are closely related, but understanding the distinction between the two can help clarify many networking concepts. As someone with over 10 years of experience in Linux, I can explain both terms in simple language.

Whenever you ask for something with Bluesky they tell you about how a user account is like a website, you just have to make it work a certain way, that some devs have mastered, and I guess I could too, but right now all my attention is focused on WordPress and getting it to work well with ActivityPub so my editor can get directly into the Mastodon network and possibly with Threads too.

But what about Bluesky which is growing like a weed now??

It might be easy for the right person.

1. Come up with an interface that makes it so that a WordPress blog is just a user on the Bluesky network.
2. They have a nice API, I've just spent a year implementing on top of it. I imagine for someone who knows both WordPress and Bluesky this might be a weekend project?
3. Do it, and blow our minds! There's a lot of content out there in WordPress and a lot of people publish on it.
4. And the best part of it is that it totally drives adoption of textcasting which is my not so hidden agenda. 😄
5. And for the people who are starting to think it's only an ActivityPub thing, think again.

If you do this you might not win the Nobel Peace Prize but you will be Nerd of the Year in my book!

The triumphant return of President-elect Donald Trump did not occur in a vacuum. Throughout the world, governments led by the parties of the 21st-century global political establishment find themselves reeling from a public blowback that has been decades in the making. “From America’s Democrats to Britain’s Tories, [French President] Emmanuel’s Macron’s Ensemble coalition to Japan’s […]

It's good to have a record of the things you posted and when you posted it. On August 12 of this year, I tweeted this: "When the NYT makes Trump sound like a reasonable candidate that a sane person might vote for, remember this day." I included a screen shot of the front page of the NYT on Jan 7, 2021. One in three Trump voters still watch mainstream news, which follows the lead of the NYT, and if they had been straight with us, perhaps enough people who like Trump's style would have realized the danger, and voted in a conservative way, ie to conserve the Constitution. Because of how they covered it, we now get to re-run the 2016 experiment all over again.

But, as Heather Cox Richardson points out in Jon Stewart's weekly podcast (a must-listen) -- we have more experience too, and perhaps will know better how to deal with Trump and know that his bark is often worse than his bite. I have to say as the new reality sinks in, I'm not as scared as I was on Election Night last week or even Election Night in 2016. A lot of people will sell out this time who didn't before. But the problems of climate change have gotten worse in the intervening years, and people feel it in their bones, pocketbooks and fears. You think inflation was bad? This will be far worse and it's happening now, and nothing we can do at a human scale will make it go away.

We're dealing with a very unusual drought in the eastern US now. Fires are breaking out where we never used to have them. Yeah this shit is real, and even people who don't believe in science are feeling it.

As someone once said, you should never waste a good crisis. A lot of other people feel compelled to move. Unfortunately some are moving to the wrong place, as they always do. Making change isn't easy, but is possible, if you understand how people move. As they try to figure out what the Dem's failed at, that's it.

Skate to where the puck will be, not where it was, as another famous philosopher once said. And people don't listen to their friends, they listen to their competitors (which I said, sadly, but then put that fact to use to get various standards to fly by without debate). There is a method to human madness, in other words, imho.
