From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

IndieWeb in general and the h-entry and WebMentions specifically.

Collectively they promise a highly personalised web experience that maintains ownership of your own content while encouraging socialisation across platforms, while avoiding the sustainability and scale limitations of activitypub.

I also want to see XMPP/OMEMO have a comeback.

Hi, does it have any advantage over greping your RSS feeds for your blog's URL?

What is "it"? Webmentions? Webmentions can be sent from anywhere, not just places you're actively monitoring. They can be used for example to create a comments section on your blog which amalgamates comments from various syndication points.

That is, you post to your blog, you post a link to your blog post to twitter/Facebook/lemmy etc, and comments or replies from any of those can show up on your blog itself if you so choose.

Alright, that's pretty cool, sorry – I thought it was a list of links automatically inserted in lieu of comments.

I've been trying to get into the IndieWeb for years, but I've been struggling to implement it. Doesn't it rely on a central server too? Can we use it in a fully e.g. decentralized or federated way – would it even make sense, or could we easily switch to another flagship server, as we did with the Freenode takeover?

Please feel no pressure to reply, I can do my own research ^_^
