Toying with the idea of a linkblog – just web links with 0–3 paragraphs of commentary. Unsure what form this would take. Also not sure I would have the time to keep it going if I got a regular job again. Open to takes.
@vruba I'd subscribe! Mine is here https://notes.billmill.org, the `link blog` entries
@llimllib Ooo! How did I miss this? Do you do RSS/anything?
@vruba Yup, there's an atom feed at https://notes.billmill.org/atom.xml
The source for generating it is here, it just dumps my obsidian notes onto the web as static HTML: https://github.com/llimllib/obsidian_notes/blob/main/run.py
@vruba No feed for just the link blog though, maybe that's something I should add
@vruba this was basically how I used delicious and then pinboard in the long ago, except more like 1-3 lines. Maybe I should be doing that again.
@vruba
That's basically what I've been doing with my Wordpress site for ages. Since 2008 I think.
I probably excerpt way too much and commentate way too little, but it's all grist for songs anyway.
I should add that I sort of see myself as consistently misusing platforms, though. (I think I use Masto as intended, but, like, LiveJournal was nothing but C+Ps of my emails, with headers mostly included.)
@grantimatter Truly you seem like a blogger out of time, in the best way: neither old-fashioned nor futuristic, but a disciple of some slightly different creed of which “blogging” is only the best translation in this dimension.
@vruba
You are far too kind.
I still think of "blog" as a very funny word, and am surprised that I feel quite nostalgic toward it now.
@vruba they’re paying people now over at the bird site
@vruba (also I would subscribe especially if it was on here and there were pictures)
@vruba please do! I've run a linkblog for 20 years, one of the best things I do. You would be great at it. I would be glad to help you think about how to set it up. Here's mine: https://www.somebits.com/linkblog/
@vruba I wrote up notes on how my linkblog works and how maybe Raindrop.io is all you need. https://nelsonslog.wordpress.com/2023/07/15/linkblog-architecture/
@vruba That’s about all I’m active at these days. I really enjoy it. Private Pinboard account + specific tag + Hugo script to import from its auth’d feed. https://justinmiller.io/links/
@vruba Implicit here, btw, is that I would totally read yours.
@vruba Stop toying, please. :)
@vruba i regret i have but one star to give this Very Excellent idea
