I replied to a post through Indigenous, and in my post I had enclosed a couple of words in double quotes. when the entry was posted, the double quotes were turned into HTML entities.

My micropub endpoint is Known 0.9.9-a if that helps.

The example post is here: https://blog.voss.co/2018/excellent-points-i-watched-the-mother-of

Yes, I noticed the email that Known sends to let me know that someone interacted with my post, had the quoted content and your comment mixed into one paragraph. Not sure where or how to fix that, but it could be that you need to deploy the fix you mention to more post types.

Festive indieweb and selfhosting

3 min read

Holiday is on, and apart from relaxing with the family, I aim to look into a bunch of stuff before I'm back at the factory in January.

My Indieweb life is coming on well, thanks to Known, and the #indieweb community in London. I attended my first couple of Homebrew Website Club meetups in town in 2018, and although my contributions to the community so far is non-existant, I'm very glad to have met a handful of people to talk indieweb stuff with in person, on a regular basis. I've also logged onto the Indieweb slack/IRC channel where I'm a regular lurker.

One thing I'd like to do is, to import all the posts from my homegrown CMS into Known, so they get equipped with all the indieweb goodness which is part and parcel of Known. I've had comments turned off on my own CMS for years, because I gave up dealing with the deluge of spam coming in through the comments form. I'd like to have comments back. Known has an import feature which will let me import Wordpress RSS-feeds (which my old blog produces), so it should be possible. I did try a few weeks ago and wasn't successful, but I gather with a bit of tinkering I can make it work.

On the selfhosting front I'm very happy with my current inventory (bookmark service from Shaarli, Tiny Tiny RSS for reading feeds, dokuWiki for documenting/notes), but I also want to host more stuff. In particular, I'd like to try to run my own instance of Mattermost. With my current hosting provider, that option is a bit limited. As long as whatever service I want to selfhost has very standard requirements, such as PHP and MySQL, to run, then I'm fine. But I find that more and more of the things I would like to try to selfhost, requires a bit more, such as artisan, go, docker, and a bunch of other things that I either a) never heard of before or b), have heard of before, but have no clue about.

I will sign up for a month of VPS with one of the providers in the field, and try out a few things. It might be overkill, but then at least I'll know I'm in way over my head, and I can return to my shared hosting, and whatever that allows me to install.

Happy holidays (:

I made a site that will let ...

That worked @swentel. Thanks a lot!

I'll make an effort to submit a change to core Known for this during the week.

I'm using latest indigenous release with Known (0.9.9-a). I have a number of syndication targets setup: github, flickr, mastodon, twitter. I used to be able to syndicate to those, but maybe around 1+ month ago (I don't recall precisely), the checkboxes disappeared, and when I try create a piece of content, I get the following error message in a toast:

"Error parsing syndication targets: Value github::access_token at 0 of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject"

To check whether it is an issue with the syndication targets, I tried loading up Quill, which shows the syndication targets just fine. Can I provide you with any details that can help verify if this is an Indigenous issue, or not?

Rel-me, mastodon and browser plugins

Updated to the latest master of Known via github, and also updated PHP on the server hosting my Known instance. Turns out it was running PHP5 0_o

Great guide on how to use the Android App URL forwarder to share items to Known, from your Android phone.

@davidcrickett I så tilfælde tænker jeg at denne video kunne være en god begyndelse (https://youtu.be/ZsPjdk2-m68). Jeg benytter selv Known (https://withknown.com/), men er ret sikker på at Wordpress er ligeså godt, hvis ikke bedre.

Publishers Haven't Realized Just How Big a Deal GDPR is - Baekdal Plus

On May 25, 2018, the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (better known as GDPR) comes into effect, and I'm quite worried about how this will impact publishers because most don't seem to be even close to compliant.
The problem with GDPR is that most publishers see it as an IT/administrative burden. They think the only thing they need to do is set up some databases and do some other IT things ... and then redesign their privacy page.
What I'm not seeing, however, is any real change to the way publishers use data, the business models they have that rely on data, or any consideration as to what impact this will have on their editorial strategies.
So, in this article, I'm going to talk about GDPR as a concept in relation to media trends, and consider what this means for your editorial strategies. I hope I can help you realize just how big a change this actually is.
