There are multiple aspects to "Indiewebifying" your site.

@kevinmarks: Correct me where I am wrong below.

1. #IndieAuth: You have a website be *you*, YOUR identity. That's where rel=me comes in. For lazy folks like me, I identify myself and link that to my GitHub profile.

2. #Microformats2: This makes your web pages parseable by the Webmention endpoints (like webmention.io, that heroku app, etc.)

> Sadly, you'll need some kind of server-side dynamic rendering to show your webmentions. This will be a problem when you use a static website generator and refuse to add any kind of client-side JavaScript.

I know neither PHP nor JS. So I thought that Webmentions is no-go for me.

But I was able to make it work on my static #Hugo site deployed over #Netlify. See the attached image for my flow :D

TIL that you drain the transmission fluid very similar to how you do that for the engine oil :facepalm:

(Why did they put them so close together!)

#Subaru #Outback

Is anybody into doing car maintenance themselves? I am looking forward to doing oil change in my #subaru #outback by myself for the very first time.

So I need to buy some basic tools; one of them is a car jack. Does anyone have strong opinions/good experiences about buying a particular brand?

#auto #maintenance

I am teaching my son to read and I found this worksheet. What's that thing called where the letters have ligatures or are changed in size to aid reading them? If I know what this technique is called, I can search for more reading resources like this online.

So obviously my tests would fail on #Travis if I ran them after a long time :P

Turns out that texinfo 6.1 had a regression that broke how eless parsed the Info manual name.. after I hour or 2 I discover that regression. Texinfo 6.1 somehow had stopped sending the Info File name to the stdpipe.

Then I bump up the travis OS to #bionic, which updates texinfo to 6.5 and that test starts passing again.

That said, an even more robust version of eless, version 0.6 is out!

Now https://github.com/kaushalmodi/eless is even more stable!

Based off my reddit comment, I suppose, my eless project starting seeing some activity.. got an issue, a PR, and I realized I had not enabled #Travis cron on this project.

I've lately got into the *zone* to update #oxHugo with a new feature that I had been waiting for ever.

Folkert van der Beek (fvdbeek on GitHub) was very kind to submit a PR for that feature -- to support exporting of the Org links to other post subtrees in the same Org file.

I accepted the PR, tinkered a bit with it, and now that has /catalyzed/ me to keep on making minor incremental optimizations to that feature.

Update #oxHugo and try out this new feature!

I learned about #KodiakCakes today. I had a buttermilk + maple flavor, and it was pretty good.

/need to put in less milk next time./
