       I like a lot of the principles, and I understand the push back against, shall we say, the “complicated web”. There’s probably some [[content web vs app web]] feelings going on here too.

       > However it wasn't until I began working from home and everything in my life moved online that I really began to notice how beneficial RSS could be with relation to Digital Wellbeing. By selecting only the sites, blogs, creators etc. that I had a serious interest in, I could effectively remove the negative effects of social media and excessive online usage from my life.

       > I'm happy to announce that the [personal reader](https://www.drupal.org/project/reader) project I've been writing for Drupal is now available for download! You can install it on your website, and as a PWA on your phone or tablet. No more third party applications, just pure HTML, css and the power of Drupal. The layout is heavily influenced by the Mastodon project, but needs more tweaks to fix the responsive behavior.

       A great example of using Drupal to power a bunch of decentralized protocols including [[ActivityPub]] and [[MicroSub]]. The module in turn also relies on the [IndieWeb module for Drupal](https://www.drupal.org/project/indieweb).

       What _was_ Journals all got dumped into logs. Which is a collection in [[Jekyll]] but I'm going to call them all Journals: more granular daily notes and bookmark postings via [[IndieKit]]. The Journal page groups things by day.

       [Helder is starting a public monologue channel on the Fission Discourse](https://talk.fission.codes/t/helder-monologue/1606). Monologue channels are something we developed for Fission’s internal Discord chat spaces that seem to have worked out well for people, so Helder is trying it in public.

       Main thing I need to do to [complete the rollout of these new journal logs](https://github.com/bmann/bmcgarden/issues/2) -- other than pagination -- is to truncate long posts and strip HTML from them.

       Probably something like, if the content is bigger than 500 characters, `strip_html` and show 250 chars with a read more link. If less than 500, display the content.

       I’m having one of those days. Reserved a car from Avis. Show up at 8am. I have a paper temporary driver’s license because I just renewed it. “Policy” is to have picture ID, even though I’m on file, I always rent from this location, and the desk clerk and manager both recognize me. So: do I complete this rental and then never rent from Avis again, after 20 years? Probably. It’s policy after all.

       > This paper proposes an open and collaborative system by which a community, or a single user, can create sets of rules and filters, called Goggles, to define the space which a search engine can pull results from. Instead of a single ranking algorithm, we could have as many as needed, overcoming the biases that a single actor (the search engine) embeds into the results.

       I’m thinking about automating posts from this journal to Mastodon. The people there are likely interested in the type of stuff I post about. I would need to build a [[JSON Feed]] and then I can use my existing [[Micro.blog]] subscription to cross post.

       Just prepaid for a year of [Beeper](https://beeperhq.com). This is letting me "jump the line" and get into the beta. Plus, I reserved my username as `@boris` there. It is supposed to connect all your messaging apps in one "app" -- even iMessage on non-Apple systems, through a jail broken iPhone.

       I'm exploring [[SSG]]s again, and trying out [[GitLab Pages]] for the first time. Now that I'm helping to run [[Moa Party]], I'm going to make a static site for it, for status updates and documentation and so on.

       [[Hugo]] I've used a bit, because [[Micro.blog]] uses it, so to make a custom theme, I installed it locally for testing.

       [[Zola]] is a [[Rust]]-based SSG. I haven't really had any personal experience with Rust, but I'm very interested in it, especially because Rust is very commonly used to compile to [[WebAssembly]].

       There is a page [documenting Zola with GitLab pages](https://www.getzola.org/documentation/deployment/gitlab-pages/). The mention of git submodules is not comforting.[^gitsub]

       OK, Zola experiment over. I used the [Juice theme](https://juice.huhu.io) and got Zola running and it is nice and fast. But -- I want to maintain this as a docs site using [[wikilinks]], likely also being compatible with [[Obsidian]] as an editor. I know [[Jekyll]] best so I'll just use that.

       Started created a blank Jekyll site, and briefly wanted to make a "status" type like my journal logs here, but really just can keep it simple for now. Saving my fragments of setup for this here in case I want to come back to it.

       Well, that ended up being an epic build out of a full [[Jekyll]] site. I went back and used the [[Digital Garden Jekyll Template]]. It is a lot slimmer than the [[Simply Jekyll]] theme I use here, which has me itching to tinker some more.

       The High Blogging Era, defined by [Robin Sloan as mid-2000s](https://www.robinsloan.com/notes/many-subtle-channels/). Hmmm. I was there and was a part of it, and RSS and blogs was all there was, before Twitter and Facebook etcetera that then became labeled as social media.

       [[Google Reader]] removed social features in 2011, and was shut down in 2013. I think the “high” era more properly is the mid 2000s until the fall of Reader. When many people were blogging, not just the early few. Maybe 8 years? A good run.

       Are we at the beginning of digital gardens and [[Second Brain]]s? Will this be looked back on as the High Era? I’m more interested in getting it into the hands of everyone. Hmmm. Has [[Nora Young]] done a segment on [[Spark]] yet? I should attempt to get on a CBC Radio morning or afternoon show to talk about it.

       I think Pixelfed is probably the strongest foundation, with the bonus that you could pull in [[Mastodon]] and other ActivityPub content that included photos for a broader network.

       Some social networks — like art or styles of photos — simply aren’t niche, so where do network effects come from? How do we get started?

       I went and grabbed the source for `blog.bmannconsulting.com` and put all the posts in the archive here as well. A number of them were bookmarks / links, which fit much better as notes. Many of the posts which I didn't bring in here are "social posts". Some of them could be good note candidates, but most of them are images and cross posts to Twitter and so on, which I'll see about importing into Micro.blog. It's going through a 2.0 update so I'll wait a while on that.

       I told them all to [get on Twitter](https://twitter.com/bmann/status/1303508335581253632). And I think somewhere in there I may have agreed to create a TikTok account.

       None of them had ever bought a domain name -- suggested that they have someone in the group research on how to do that and present it to everyone else. With ~30 group members, that's a lot of combined research and learning!

       Thanks @elty and @expede for deep meaningful conversations today. Pointers to some of the links and articles we talked about:

       11
       11

       * I'm still working on my [[Garden and the Gazebo]] post here talking about public / private notes. My [[Second Brain]] explanation is also WIP

     

       12
       12
       +
       * I was importing old posts and looked at [[Tomi Ahonen: app stores are tiny compared to global telecom revenue]]. My takeaway from that was _The future is Internet + identity + payment, and app stores will figure heavily in that future_ -- and now this is the direction that [[Fission]] is pointed: a web native app store that connects people with the apps they use and the developers that make them

     

       13
       13
       +
       * I'm going to start collecting [[Movement Marketing]] concepts, like [David Sacks' Your Startup is a Movement](https://sacks.substack.com/p/your-startup-is-a-movement) article

     

       14
       14
       +
       * I mentioned [[Cobuying Property with Friends]] for a second time, so I made a dedicated page for it. It's an example of an article that made my knowledge about something go from 0 to 80%, and I feel equipped to do further exploring from there

     

       15
       15
       +
       * [Exit to Community](https://www.noemamag.com/exit-to-community) is relevant relating to the MEC Co-op sale to private equity in Canada, to governance tokens in crypto around SushiSwap https://sushiswap.org (this [Decrypt article has some background context](https://decrypt.co/41236/sushiswap-what-happened-what-it-means-for-defi-and-whats-next)) and yearn.finance (I don't even know how to summarize that)

     

       16
       16
       +
       * [[Athens]] seems like the best candidate to deeply integrate Fission's [[WNFS]] with, and we could also be a source of revenue for hosting them. They have [an open issue to pick a backend architecture](https://github.com/athensresearch/athens/issues/9). I'm still interested in integrating Fission with [[Roam Research]] (maybe apply for their grant / investment program?) -- and I think the WNFS / IPFS file graph, unique, permanent links will be interesting to many of these [[Second Brain]] tools.

       I had a call with Daniel from [[Primeflow]] yesterday. He [left a comment on LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6713859370926657536?commentUrn=urn%3Ali%3Acomment%3A%28activity%3A6713859370926657536%2C6714274081841262593%29) pointing out that we covered a lot of the ground discussed in NFX's [The Next 10 Years Will Be About “Market Networks”](https://www.nfx.com/post/10-years-about-market-networks/). My [[Processing]] page is getting too long.

       ### Fission Web Native iOS App

       I saw a tweet that [Apple is recruiting for an interesting role](https://twitter.com/jnadeau/status/1305697216347037696) -- "you'd contribute to Cloud File Providers and work with adopters to get their cloud storage systems integrated across the OSes". I've noticed for a while that Apple has been very careful to make storage an API -- it works with iCloud and your local file system by default, but you can set it to Dropbox or Google Drive or others if you have those apps installed. This operating system stickiness through superior integrations at a very low system level.

       For us at [[Fission]], I discussed a couple of ideas with Brooke today. One, a native mobile app for Fission is key -- it means that any other app on iOS that can share files we can use Fission both as a storage system, and as a target to share / copy files into.

     

       39
       39
       +
       

     

       40
       40
       +
       The second idea I came up with was how, by having a native app, we can in fact pass on that ability to ALL the other apps built on the Fission webnative framework to automatically have native integration. Sign in with your Fission account, which knows all the apps that it has connected to, and then you can "Share to Fission", and select which app you want to share to.

       42
       42
       +
       Here's a screenshot of how you can pick between different [[Discord]] servers as an example of how existing native apps handle multi-target share sheets:

       This is a whole other layer of network effects in giving a ton of apps native mobile integration. Need to talk to the [[Expo]] folks about this.

       ### Small Business Peer Roundtable

       I ran some small business / entrepreneur peer sessions in Comox that continued on as [[WeAreYQQ]]. I did something similar over lunch with folks at [[Input Cowork]] when we [went for a visit last summer](https://blog.fission.codes/coworking-in-nanaimo-input-cowork-nanaimo-tech-meetup/).

       I've decided, especially as we get into the winter months, and as we continue to think about this pandemic as a way to think differently and make change happen, to do at least one mini roundtable with some small businesses and interesting people. Talked to one of the businesses today and they said yes. Thinking about whether to connect this with [[Venture Scouts]] -- feels like it would be a fit, but I'm also OK with it just being a one off.

       54

       ### Done with LogSeq?

     

       57
       57
       +
       

     

       58
       58
       +
       I think I'm done with [[LogSeq]]. It isn't currently syncing with Github reliably. It _has_ indexed the contents of this public notes Garden as well as just basic files, and that is very interesting to me, but it doesn't work at all on mobile, and has real trouble with the amount of files that I have in this repo. Inspecting it in the browser it looks like it's storing 1.1GB.

     

       59
       59
       +
       

     

       60
       60
       +
       _Maybe_ if I split public Garden / private Gazebo into separate repos that would help.

     

       61
       61
       +
       

     

       62
       62
       +
       But I think more time with [[Roam Research]] for private notes makes sense. This was working for me before, but I just went on this epic journey of looking for something that was open source / could be self hosted.

     

       63
       63
       +
       

     

       64
       64
       +
       It will be interesting to see if I can import the markdown files into other systems. [[LogSeq]] uses multiple levels of hashes -- which in default markdown are headings -- which makes it look weird in every other system. Also, Roam can only handle 10 pages at a time.

       Bumped into @JasonMcLaren while out getting coffee from @Coho and had the exact same discussion around jobs and where to post them that isn't LinkedIn (which is pretty pointless for software jobs). The question about what network or platform to post to comes up all the time when I challenge people on wasting their time with LI.

       @AngelList is still the one where I get the best results -- that is, I can post jobs there and get a decent flow of decent candidates automatically. And that's on their free tier -- they now have paid tiers starting at $250 per month.

       @StackOverFlow I have heard good things about their job posting board. Their [talent page](https://stackoverflow.com/talent/en) doesn't have pricing, I believe last I heard it's like $4KUSD for a promoted listing.

       Also: my standard advice: if you're considering paying recruiters, just hire a full time marketing / operations / chief of staff / people position instead, and have them work on running your sourcing and hiring.

       Had a good call with [[Rabble]] talking about [[UCAN]], [[Planetary]], and the "discovery" problem in social networks. Specifically, mapping unique identifiers like a hash or a key to a username. And, that those usernames probably all look like _@username_ (back to [[Social Mentions]]!).

       Twitter was the undisputed champion of @-usernames, but I'd say that Instagram is as big or bigger depending on the context. Celebrity, food, small business are increasingly defaulting to IG as the primary @-username.

       > A mini PC combines the performance of a good laptop with the upgradability of a full-size desktop computer together in a package the size of a paperback book. Mini PCs are fast enough for anything other than high-end gaming, and unlike some laptops, they include all the ports you need to connect multiple monitors and your favorite keyboard and mouse. You can find lots of good mini PCs, but [HP’s ProDesk 600 G5](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/out/link/39345/163246/4/116590/?merchant=HP) offers the best combination of performance, ports, and price.

       This [jekyll-rss-feeds](https://github.com/snaptortoise/jekyll-rss-feeds) and [jekyll-json-feeds](https://github.com/snaptortoise/jekyll-json-feeds) are good starting points. Made custom [[Feeds]] for recently updated notes as well as [[Links]]. Those are articles I'm quoting and taking notes on, or bookmarks to stuff that I want to keep track of.

       [[Quotebacks]] https://quotebacks.net/ are interesting because they are another new-old thing in blogging. [Annotations are a web standard](https://web.hypothes.is/blog/annotation-is-now-a-web-standard/) (that's from the blog of [[Hypothes.is]], which is big on annotation) -- so I kind of want to use a standard. But annotations aren't really quotes? Have to dig into this more.

       I think notes == wiki and journal == blog, although journals are much more of a mix. For both, using backlinks / wiki-likes rather than exclusively linking or commenting out is a difference. Even bringing in an article or a link to a tool as something more note-like leads to behaviours that are very different than writing a blog, I'm finding. I'm still thinking if I might turn journals into posts rather than the note type they currently are.

       Basically, so I can make up for the fact that it's hard to link to "blocks" without a full [[Roam Research]]-like system in place that isn't just Markdown files.

       Rather than creating an organization, I'm much more interested in doing projects that fit into themes like this. [[SMB Peers]] fits into this, as does [[Vancouver CLT]] and [[Vancouver Local Makers Directory]].

       Since I had to go into [[Cloudflare]] to update the IPNS link[[Documented in the <a href='https://guide.fission.codes/hosting/custom-domains/using-cloudflare-ipfs-gateway'>Fission Guide</a>::rsn]], I fixed my blog SSL issue.

       I suspect editing the IPNS will mean that Cloudflare will mostly hang on to the cache for 6 hours or so.

       Finally actually _read_ some of the [[Foam]] stuff, which I did have installed in my VSCode. The [[Markdown Notes]] extension I've now configured to properly create new notes, which is great.

       Ironically, the way the actual Foam extension generates [Link References](https://foambubble.github.io/foam/link-reference-definitions) at the bottom of each file, doesn't work for me at all. [[Simply Jekyll]] takes care of that, because I can just use a wiki link and it takes care of looking up the file and matching it. Of course, the concern I have with SJ is that it has some unique syntax which is very much tied up into the theme, thus making it not portable. I guess that means that technically the Foam link definitions *would* make a lot of it portable, using just plain markdown links.

       Aside from notes here, I'm on a roll with my private notes in [[Roam Research]]. That really just mean getting things done, as I fill out a [[Worklog]] to stay on track. I installed Roam as a [[PWA]] yesterday, when I noticed that option was available. Being able to alt-tab to it rather than just being lost in a sea of Chrome tabs definitely is a good thing.

       New notes it creates with Title Caps and spaces, which is easy enough to fix before publishing. This not-really-compatible-markdown-and-file-structures is where all the issues live in note portability.

       It _is_ a very nice distraction free writing interface that I can see using, but using my code editor as my note taking interface, especiallty when I _am_ going back and forth programming the website with little chunks of [[Liquid]] markup, probably makes more sense for me.

       I had [previously]({% link _logs/2020-09-26-journal.md %}) looked up OWC RAM, and I can order direct from them. Are there local places in Vancouver? Listed as resellers, [dmac don't list the 2018/2020 Mac Mini](https://www.dmac.ca/mac-mini-mac-pro) and [Simply doesn't seem to list the right RAM either](https://www.simply.ca/collections/ram).[[Why don't small businesses keep their websites up to date???::rmn]] OK, guess I order [direct from OWC](https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/mac-mini), Total cost was $258CAD including shipping and duties.

       OWC have one [[eGPU]] enclosure, the [AKiTiO Node Titan](https://eshop.macsales.com/item/AKiTiO/NPTNT3/) (as well as bundles that include AMD graphics cards). I haven't done any research on eGPUs yet, other than noting that Apple had the [Blackmagic eGPU](https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/ca/products/blackmagicegpu/) available for sale from them directly.

       External storage is a whole other thing. I looked up the [[Filecoin]] [guide to storage mining](https://filecoin.io/blog/filecoin-guide-to-storage-mining/) and basically you need a $3KUSD AMD machine at a minimum to do mining. Just syncing the Filecoin blockchain (which I do want to experiment with), needs 12GB per week:

     

       12
       12
       +
       > If you don’t wish to mine, but would still like to run the Lotus client for the purposes of keeping a wallet or interfacing with the network, a system with 2-4 CPU cores, 8GiB of RAM, and enough storage for the Filecoin blockchain should be sufficient (the current testnet chain grows at about 12GiB per week; improvements to reduce this storage requirement are ongoing).

       Like I said, researching the right combination of external enclosures and drives and such is for another time. I've never really stored a lot of media on drives / at home.

       Flat tire afterwards was less great. I've actually had a number of flats with my [[Radrunner]]. This time, I found the shard of rock or ceramic and it punctured the outer tire tread all the way to the inner tube. I forced it in with a screwdriver and was able to partially inflate the tire.

       New to me: `/nick` lets you change your nickname on a [[Discord]] server. They also recently enabled ["community" servers](https://support.discord.com/hc/en-us/articles/360047132851-Enabling-Your-Community-Server). Basically, Discord is used for sort of personal chat home bases, but also increasingly for community. They've enabled specific features for these open communities, especially if you have a lot of members. We don't have enough members at [[Fission]] for all of the features, but it was great to be able to have a welcome screen for new users that join, suggesting them to certain channels.

       Rachael's [[Rad Mini]] arrived yesterday. So now we have two [[Rad Power Bikes]]. The [[Rad Runner]] is a bit too big for Rachael, especially with the center console blocking the "step through".

       Today we got her out on the bike and she got used to riding it around the park, and then went off to go up and down some hills. She hasn't been a regular bike user for quite some time. We both had free / trashy bikes that got stolen from our building at some point, and never really replaced them. I've been thinking about writing about what it means to be a 'biker', both in the context of that being an identity, and different kinds of bike usage. I think Rachael and I partially identify as "non car users" -- we don't have a car, and walk or take transit most places, plus some car share usage. Anyway, I'll leave that line of thinking for a future post.

       I went to [Dream Cycle](https://dream-cycle.com/) on Commercial Drive to ask about a patch kit. Bought a handful of "regular" and a couple of pre-glued, since they're cheap and I have had multiple flats on the Runner already. Why? I'm not sure. Both other times I had them fixed by Rad Mobile Service. I _have_ put a lot of kilometers on the bike so far!

       So in the afternoon I took the Rad Mini and biked it over to Main Street where I had ditched my bike at last week. Rad has Youtube videos for pretty much all of their bikes and different things that need doing, so I just watched the [RadRunner Rear Wheel Removal](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3TU1r-Cv_c). The little toolkit that comes with the Rad has all the pieces that are needed, which was great.

       17
       17
       +
       The tricky part was the way the chain has to be manuevered around to get it off, but I got it done. Yes, this is the first time I have removed the wheel of a bike.

       19

       +
       With the bike wheel off, now I couldn't get the actual tire off! Watching other videos, they pretty much say "don't use a butter knife" -- that you should use a bike tire lever. Dear reader, I tried to use the handle end of a butter knife. The Rad Runner has really thick, wide tires, and I couldn't get them off.

     

       20
       20
       +
       

     

       21
       21
       +
       Luckily, there is [Ride On Bike Shop](http://www.rideon.com/) on Main, around the corner from the office. I took the tire over there. They told me that they didn't have any patch kits so I gave them the one *I* had and asked them to take care of it.

     

       22
       22
       +
       

     

       23
       23
       +
       In 30min, I went back and had a fixed tire, and also bought some bike tire levers.

     

       24

       +
       

     

       25
       25
       +
       Rachael had met me there at this point, and got her hands dirty (literally) helping put the chain back on. My first tire change!

     

       26
       26
       +
       

     

       27
       27
       +
       Then we did our first joint ride. East on 6th, down to Great Northern Way, left on Clark and then back on the Woodland bike path north. Right on Adanac heading east to Lakewood, turning left to go north until Wall Street. East along Wall until New Brighton Park, then south along the paths by the PNE until East Hastings / in front of Playland. South until Adanac, and back home west along Adanac.

       29
       29
       +
       More biking to come!

       Ugh. Went to go for a bike ride first thing this morning and my tire was flat again. It pumped right up again and we went for a 25km ride to Burnaby Lake and back, but it's clear that the root cause here isn't fixed yet. I'm going to have to write this all down for Rad and get it fixed properly.

       Following the [OWC Memory Upgrade video](https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/mac-mini-2018-memory/Macmini8-1/), step two is having a torx screwdriver. Hmmm. Sounds like a T4, T5, and T10 needed.

       OK, I clicked the buttons and made what I think are all my final purchases for my Mac Mini, other than external storage.

       But first: I bought an [[Asus VG289Q Monitor]] at Best Buy earlier this week. Got it home and the screen wouldn't stay on?

     

       10

       At first I thought the wimpy Mac Mini maybe couldn't drive it through HDMI and I needed a USB-C to DisplayPort adapter, but those adapters don't really exist. I looked around and the various HDMI cables now do have different "ratings" on them. I bought a short gold plated HDMI cable and yes! -- the monitor works fine.

     

       12

       I looked back and forth at various [[eGPU]] options. I decided the Razer Core X Chroma was the best enclosure for me. I plan on using it for both Windows and Mac over time, and as an external enclosure it's even possible to upgrade the video card.

     

       14

       I did [read through the Bootcamp for eGPUs](https://egpu.io/boot-camp-egpu-setup-guide/) but I don't think I will attempt Bootcamp. Who knows how much longer it will be around / keep working as Apple transitions to ARM.

       Looking at the [EGPU.io builds filter](https://egpu.io/best-external-graphics-card-builds/) with a Mac Mini and the Razer Core X Chroma selected helped me pick the graphics card to buy. There were only 2 Mac Mini builds listed, both using an AMD RX 5700 XT. I debated about getting a cheaper card, but I'd rather finish off my purchases now.

       19

       Then I was back in graphic card comparison hell, because the AMD RX 5700 XT is just a chipset 

     

       20
       20
       +
       (I guess???) and many different manufacturers put together the final cards.

       I ended up with [PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 8GB AXRX 5700XT 8GBD6-3DHE/OC](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07WP6TYQ3/), for $611CAD. No, I don't even totally understand what that means.

       26

       And ended up with a [Vitade 1080p webcam with ring light](https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07RRZQBRN/) as well.

       I did experiment with [[Camo]] by [Reincubate](https://reincubate.com/camo/) to use my iPhone as a webcam. I have an iPhone / iPad stand clamped to my desk, and it does work -- and with very good quality! But it's not like I can keep my iPhone clamped in there all the time.

       Just spent 30 minutes setting up a UPS Payment Account in order to attempt to pay a bill online for customs brokerage fees. There is a 10-digit account number on the invoice, but of course clicking between the different options, the maximum is for a 9-digit account number (and that's some sort of special account?). UPS Canada, a paper invoice with a tear off, suggesting I stick a paper cheque in postal mail, is not going to work well for me OR you.

       Rachael and I actually slept in a bit (for us) and had breakfast at home, and then went out to the Vancouver Art Gallery.

       You need to book an appointment ahead of time, and have to wear a mask in the gallery. There were maybe 4 other people we encountered wandering around during our booking slot.

       The Victor Vasarely exhibition -- pop art -- was amazing. I [posted on social.coop](https://social.coop/@bmann/105210203333395681), including a painting that matches Rachael's new sweater. We'll see if I get around to posting more research and photos about Vasarely later.

       Then we went to The Bay. Much more crowded and feeling uncomfortable, although masks are required. Bought a 9x13" baking pan, and a quarter sheet with a grill/tray that will be for roasting various things.

       I suggested Miku for lunch. Yes, a bit high end and pricey -- but very delicious. Reflecting on how lucky and privileged we are to do things like this occasionally.

       ## Researching External Drives at OWC

       I bought my RAM upgrade for the Mac Mini[^notinstalled] at OWC, and thought I'd look at their external drive options too.

       [^notinstalled]: Still not installed! The last Amazon delivery got me the right T6 "secure" size of screwdriver, and I got two of the flush fit screws off, but the other ones won't turn with the screwdriver. I don't really know what I'm going to do at this point. I had read elsewhere about someone in the same situation whose screws didn't turn out of the box, and took it in to Apple to help with having the screws removed. I'm super annoyed that I can't get this done!

       Do I need a Networked Attached Storage (NAS) device, or do I just need drives attached to the computer directly? I'm thinking that I don't actually need a NAS, although it would do other things as well.

     

       28

       29

       I think what I need is:

     

       30
       30
       +
       * 2.5" SSD drives -- not 3.5" spinning platters

     

       31
       31
       +
       * multiple drives in an enclosure -- I don't think I need RAID for redundancy (this isn't backup, for which, for my purposes, some cloud solution still works) -- but some sort of spanning and ability to swap out drives

     

       32
       32
       +
       * Thunderbolt 3 aka USB-C connection

     

       33
       33
       +
       * at least 2TB to start -- my 500GB Mac Mini hard drive is almost full, in part because of Steam games

       The [Thunderbolt Drives section of OWC](https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/thunderbolt/thunderbolt-external-drives) is a good starting point for letting you filter.

       [Mercury Elite Pro Dual with 3-Port Hub](https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/MEDCH7S04/): 2 x 2TB SSDs, USB3 rather than Thunderbolt, but it's a USB-C connector. $799USD.

       [Express 4M2](https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TB3EX4M2SL/): 4 slot M.2 NVMe SSD -- the "hard drives" that look like RAM sticks. Thunderbolt 3. Comes with SoftRAID. No drives included. $279USD (enclosure only). The [reviews on Amazon for the 4M2 are helpful](https://www.amazon.ca/OWC-Express-4M2-4-Slot-Enclosure-OWCTB3EX4M2SL/dp/B07G5MHBW1/), e.g. "not at full 4x speed unless you have four SSDs in the enclosure. It seems stable when occupying a Thunderbolt-3 slot with no daisy-chaining"

       Hmmm. Now down the rabbit hole of NVMe drives, which are VERY interesting. OWC has a couple of enclosures:

       [Envoy Pro EX](https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/ENVPROC2N20/): 2TB NMVe, USB3 speeds / USB-C connection. $349USD (enclosure only is $49USD).

       [Envoy Express](https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TB3ENVXP00/): a Thunderbolt 3 connection, no drives included, and looks like it's in pre-order. About 50% faster than the USB3 connection. $79USD.

       Looking over at [[Memory Express]] with a [search for NVMe](https://www.memoryexpress.com/Search/Products?Search=NVMe) there are lots of results of different types of drives (in CAD rather than USD). 

     

       52

       +
       

     

       53

       Here's a USB3 NVMe enclosure [Elite

     

       54
       54
       +
       M.2 NVMe PCIe 2280 External Enclosure](https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX76993) -- $49CAD.

     

       55

       +
       

     

       56
       56
       +
       And here's a 2TB NVMe drive that is Gen3/Gen4 -- so "slower", but since this is external, the external bus interface is the max speed anyway, and all NVMe drives are faster than the bus interface. [XPG SX8200 Pro](https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX78633) 2TB is $299CAD. Newer and well known brands like Samsung EVO are like $400CAD+ for 2TB.

       +
       

     

       60
       60
       +
       Conclusion: I don't know enough about this at all, and this is **before** I start researching NAS solutions.

     

       61
       61
       +
       

     

       62
       62
       +
       I _think_ an NVMe enclosure and 2TB drive makes the most sense right now. The Express 4M2 then becomes an upgrade to re-use the 2TB drive. And, generally, Thunderbolt 3 interfaces are just coming to market.

       Andrea is starting a new business and communicating with a lot of people on a lot of different platforms, and was looking at a newsletter option of [[Substack]] vs [[Ghost]] and generally owning her content.

       I had spoken with [[CanTrust Hosting Coop]], a Canadian hosting coop, and they don't currently support Ghost. Cooperative web hosting, tech support, and open source software development consulting is something that I'm interested in seeing more of, as I wrote in [[Joining Social.Coop]]. I've had a good discussion with the team at CanTrust, some of which I'll look at posting.

       TLDR:

     

       18
       18
       +
       * I created the [[Ghost]] and [[Substack]] pages here to collect info on those systems.

     

       19
       19
       +
       * I can recommend and support paying for [Ghost's commercial hosting](https://ghost.org/pricing/) -- they are a non-profit foundation producing open source software.

     

       20
       20
       +
       * If you're going to use Substack, use a custom domain.

     

       21
       21
       +
       * For those for whom even $29/month is too much money, the [1 click deploy](https://github.com/fission-suite/heroku-ipfs-ghost) works to get started for free if you set up a Heroku account. Not really recommended unless you've got a technical person to back you up or are yourself comfortable with Git and Heroku already

       Following up on [researching external drives]({% link _logs/2020-11-14-journal.md %}), I biked over to [[Memory Express]] to buy an external NVMe enclosure and a 2TB NVMe drive.

       The enclosure and drive I had researched before weren't available and because of the pandemic they aren't really allowing browsing. So, I had the sales person look up the different options for me.

       I ended up with the [Vantec USB 3.1 NVMe Enclosure](https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX77615) and a [2TB Corsair drive](https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00114158). There were slightly cheaper options than the Corsair, but it was a name I recognized and I figured it shouldn't be the absolute cheapest:

       The Vantec metal enclosure, and the board that the NVMe gets installed to:

       Here's the Corsair snapped into the board. I've already screwed down the far side with the included nut and screw:

       After that picture, there is a thermal paste strip that goes right on top, and then a heat sink (strip of metal) that is sort of wedged on top of that. You slide it back into the Vantec metal enclosure.

       For now, I'm formatting this for just MacOS. Here's how the drive shows up in Disk Utility before formatting:

       35
       35

       The option you want to pick is actually "Erase", and you'll get this dialog:

     

       36

       39
       39

       Lots of format options here. No, you don't want to pick MacOS Extended. Apparently, Apple File System [[APFS]] is what you want. It's also what's used in iOS, and it's optimized for solid state drives (SSDs). More detail on the [Apple Disk Utility support guide](https://support.apple.com/en-ca/guide/disk-utility/dsku19ed921c/19.0/mac/10.15). I went ahead and just chose the plain APFS version.

       First thing I did was create a new [[Steam]] game library folder on the new disk. I've only got 512GB on the inside of this Mac Mini. Inside Steam, you can now move games between library folders, which makes this a lot easier than it used to be.

       Lots of catching up with people this week. It's Thursday night / Friday "morning" and I'm reflecting.

       Today (Thursday, that is), I met up with DH for coffee, which had me reflect back to [[Finhaven]] and the path that has lead here to [[Fission]].

     

       10
       10

       Had a call with Amanda K one morning, sent her a link to [[When Tailwinds Vanish: The Internet in the 2020s]]. She was interested in my blog layout here and was asking about whether it needed a dev or not.

     

       12
       12
       +
       

     

       13
       13
       +
       That led me over to the original [[Simply Jekyll]], since this site is super customized and in a private repo. I forked it into a public repo here: https://github.com/bmann/simply-jekyll

     

       14
       14
       +
       

     

       15
       15
       +
       And then I setup [[Forestry]] so that Amanda could use it "without a dev". Deploy is [[Netlify]], because Simply Jekyll won't run on Github Pages. I'll need to do a proper HOWTO and properly setup the forked repo as a template repo to make it easy for people to run their own version. Sample site up here: https://quizzical-bartik-446efa.netlify.app

     

       16
       16
       +
       

     

       17
       17
       +
       That's one framework [[Jekyll]], a free tier git code hosting with [[Github]], a second free tier commercial service [[Forestry]], and then a third free tier build/hosting service in [[Netlify]]. That's a lot of heavy lifting for "just" a blog + notes. [[Forestry]] from a day to day, week to week perspective is the most valuable part of that: the actual editing app.

     

       18
       18
       +
       

     

       19
       19
       +
       And tonight, I just finished pushing a new site for [[Cobuilding]] live. [[Forestry]] setup was a little trickier because [[Minimal Mistakes]] has complicated Front Matter at times, I'll go back to it in a bit.

     

       20
       20
       +
       

     

       21
       21
       +
       Why are these two sites not on Fission? Forestry needs to connect to a git provider is the short answer.

     

       22
       22
       +
       

     

       23
       23
       +
       I'm doing some tinkering with [[Frontity]], a [[React]] front end framework designed to use Wordpress as a Headless CMS, that will be a good fit for hosting on Fission.

     

       24
       24
       +
       

     

       25
       25
       +
       And now, to bed.

       ## Flancian's Anagora

       I've been having a [conversation with Flancian](https://social.coop/@flancian/105289034946739103) about their [[Anagora]] project: a meta / multi-user knowledge garden. They have implemented [[Roam Research]], [[Foam]], and [[Obsidian]] adapters so far.

       11
       11
       +
       Since I'm working on a [[Simply Jekyll Template]] repo that is less customized than my site here, I can use that to see about connecting into Anagora.

       Went for a social distanced walk around Stanley Park with @seanlynch. Really great discussion!

     

       8
       8
       +
       

     

       9
       9
       +
       I mentioned [[When Tailwinds Vanish: The Internet in the 2020s]] as I do to all people building Internet businesses these days.

     

       10
       10
       +
       

     

       11
       11
       +
       Sean mentioned [[DBT]], which he described as "Jinja templates for SQL" -- basically, a way to make SQL more modular and more maintainable, without having to have an abstraction layer over top of it.

     

       12
       12
       +
       

     

       13
       13
       +
       Question from Sean, who lived in Vancouver's West End about 15 years ago, was why it didn't seem to have changed much. That is, different businesses and a few changes, but that it seemed "sleepy", in an area of the city that's right next to English Bay and Stanley Park and would seem to be generally desirable to live in.

     

       14
       14
       +
       

     

       15
       15
       +
       My theories are:

     

       16
       16
       +
       

     

       17
       17
       +
       **Limited Turnover**: long term rentals, not a significant amount of new building to make a difference, and not a common place for things like student rentals, so not high turnover on a regular basis.

     

       18
       18
       +
       

     

       19
       19
       +
       **Two buses from anywhere**: to get anywhere else in/out of the West End, you're always going to have to take at least two buses (or a bus to get to a Skytrain connection).

     

       20
       20
       +
       

     

       21
       21
       +
       I guess there have been some new buildings closer to Burrard / along the water, but that's not really the west end anymore, and they have all been exclusive / expensive condos and townhouses, so again not large numbers of people.

     

       22
       22
       +
       

     

       23
       23
       +
       We talked a bit about housing since Sean knows I'm interested in [[Cobuilding]]. Berlin and their rent freeze came up, and also the term "Overton Window" [[Overton Window::lsn-transclude]], which is a conceptual tool I find myself using a lot, so now I'll have an entry here for it.

       We're talking to Rachael's family back in Ontario, and looking at supporting her mom and helping out so that R's sister Kathy doesn't have to do everything. We're doing a test grocery delivery using Instacart to see if that works for them.

       11

       The large stores all have their own delivery, but all of the systems are terrible.

       +
       

     

       13
       13

       Instacart is slightly better in that it is has one mediocre interface across all the different stores.

       ## Blog Shuffling

       I tried once more to import social posts from my blog into [[Micro.blog]]. Didn't error or anything, so I emailed support.

     

       20
       20
       +
       

     

       21
       21
       +
       At some point, my previous support request about getting my archive and photos pages working ended up getting fixed. Now I'm flipping around between themes again, and seeing about customizing something.

     

       22
       22
       +
       

     

       23
       23
       +
       I decided to go ahead and swap the domain over from `microblog` to just `blog`, and [updated the colophon](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/colophon). Whatever happens with the old social posts being automatically imported, I can just sit down with [[Mars Edit]] and recreate them. Hmmm. Although, just looked it up, and 274 posts is a LOT to do manually.

       ## Micro.blog Theming

       27

       Mb runs on [[Hugo]] themes, and I had previously gotten as far as [cloning the internet-weblog theme](https://github.com/bmann/internet-weblog). Have to merge that with the default Micro.blog templates and in general figure that out.

     

       28
       28
       +
       

     

       29
       29
       +
       I cloned the [Marfa theme](https://github.com/microdotblog/theme-marfa) so I can see about figuring out the defaults.

       I thought I'd actually install [[Hugo]] and get it working locally before I attempt to upload it into [[Micro.blog]]. `brew install hugo` and you're done, which is great.

       Looking at `hugo --help` showed me that Hugo has a [[Jekyll]] import function.

       Since I had those social posts that I eventually want to get into Mb, this ended up perfect. I ran `hugo import jekyl PATH-TO-JEKYLL .` to transform those posts into Hugo compatible files.

     

       12

       I [forked the marfa theme](https://github.com/bmann/theme-marfa) and put it into the Hugo folder. Error about a missing `custom_footer.html` file. Pretty sure this is part of the default Mb themes, so I just created an empty one in partials, and the site built and served locally! **Very** fast compared to my Jekyll experience: 568 ms for 569 pages and 220 static files!

     

       14
       14
       +
       

     

       15
       15
       +
       [[Micro.blog]] has a [help page about custom themes](https://help.micro.blog/2019/about-themes/). Looks like the Blank theme needs to get merged in for files like `custom_footer.html` to exist.

     

       16
       16
       +
       

     

       17
       17

       Looks like custom footer was the only one missing. I'll keep track of edits to it on the [[Marfa Theme]] notes page.

       Looking at Mb plugins. Found [[BigfootJS]] again via the [Mb plugin for Bigfoot](https://github.com/jsonbecker/plugin-bigfoot). Probably better for me to use on this site rather than the super custom margin / side notes.

       Hmm. Not really usable. It doesn't include permalinks to the entries. Going to embed it on the [[Micro.blog]] page as an example, along with requests for what I'd like to see.

       Forked the [FOSS repo](https://github.com/bmann/posthog-foss) (none of their proprietary enterprise code in it), so that I could edit the README so that the [[Deploy To Heroku]] could deploy the FOSS version.

       ## Bandcamp Request for Design Change

       I've been using [[Bandcamp]] more. Whenever I'm using it on the web, I get tripped up on how small / hidden wishlisting an album / track is.

       +
       Rather than that little heart that says _Wishlist_ / _In Wishlist_, I always hit the big heart at the top of the page...which takes me to **my** favourites, and doesn't heart the page at all.

     

       28

       29

       My brain has been conditioned by Instagram and other systems that I can double-click on the big image and/or somewhere top right of the page to "heart" a page.

     

       30
       30
       +
       

     

       31
       31
       +
       So: hide that heart at the top that is actually "my favourites" and stick it under my avatar or otherwise more than 1 click away on an album page.

     

       32

       35
       35
       +
       ...sure, give me a magnifying glass icon to embiggen it. Or, give me an "invite to heart" on that embiggened album image. Let me look at this album...oh yeah...favourite, wait, I need to cancel at top left, and then navigate alllll the way back to that tiny Wishlist under the album and click again. Wait what, there is ALSO a "view" link here once it is "In Wishlist"? And **that** pops open my wishlist in a new window?

       Have another giant heart top left? next to album name? or somewhere else that gives me a nice big target.

       I've been sick with a horrendous flu since Christmas Day. TLDR, it was "just" a bad flu.

       I called the BC public health line at 811 on the 3rd evening of being sick, the nurse recommended that I get a COVID test. The next morning (yesterday) I went to the drive through at VCC and got tested with the saline mouth gargle. They didn't test Rachael because she didn't have symptoms. This was shortly after 9am.

       16
       16
       +
       * Mon, Dec 21st: Lyft to Revolver, see Roland, go for walk in rain with Riad, tea & whiskey at Miku to warm up, Tom Lee Music to pickup [[Arturia KeyStep]], cab to office, Evo home

     

       17
       17

       Brooke and our shared office space is part of my bubble. On the 21st, obviously I had lots of interactions with different people, but all were wearing masks and/or 6ft away.

       25

       +
       Of note: I got really chilled and wet out in the rain on the 21st. Then, on the 23rd, I again got really cold waiting in line outside Rio. And, in general, coming off a bunch of work and "relaxing", so I guess my system hit the wall and collapsed.

       So Christmas is traditionally "tinkering with my blog" time. I've got things running OK on [[Micro.blog]] for https://blog.bmannconsulting.com. The embed on the home page here works fine.

       I'm doing updating of notes here only when I've got free time on a weekend or an evening at a full computer desktop. It takes 2.5 minutes to generate the site, which really sucks.

       The other deficiency is that I can't really provide a feed of updated notes. I could go and add dates to all the notes and then have a modified date as well, but really that doesn't make a lot of sense.

       And this Journal is looking an awful lot like a blog, which I decided I didn't want a feed for, because it really is just me writing for myself.

       Having Mb with [[Gluon]] on my phone and it "just works" is nice. I can write something short, or just keep typing and it ends up as a blog post, all written and posted direct from my phone, like [this post](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/2021/01/09/the-code-you.html) about @kemitchell's [[StrictEq]] project. Yes, it's being renamed, head over to the [[Artless Devices Forum]] for longer discussion.

       Longer posts like [this music one](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/2021/01/10/campbells-dec-playlist.html) were done sitting at my desktop, composed and posted with [[Mars Edit]]. This is good for short posts, too, like [documenting some tide / calendar research I did for my mom](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/2021/01/06/tide-data-as.html). A side effect of spending lots of time WFH -- having default desktop app tools.

       I've turned on [[cross posting]] to [[Mastodon]] and [[Twitter]] automatically. People seem to enjoy my more "social" posts on Twitter, which is great. And I definitely reach different people on Mastodon, in a nice way.

       But I have to craft it knowing that it will get cross-posted to Twitter and to Mastodon. I guess that's another wishlist item for [[Micro.blog]]: for non-micro-blog posts that have a title, allow for a "cross posting excerpt".

       Hmm. Now that I think about it, that's actually not _bad_, but I've found toggling cross posting to be really confusing. I need to experiment with the Mb mobile app and run some experiments to see if I can figure it out, the UI is just not good for this.

       With Trump being kicked off Twitter, the discussion about Parler being kicked off [[AWS]], there's lots of discusison about federated and censorship proof social networks.[[I <a href='https://twitter.com/QuinnyPig/status/1348116976019771392'>RTd @QuinnyPig</a> who has a good thread on AWS terms of service, and other cloud providers more broadly.

       I got drawn into a long thread [kicked off by Stefan George](https://twitter.com/StefanDGeorge/status/1347861734716035074) of [[Gnosis]], who wanted to post a bounty to save/store Twitter stuff to IPFS. I [pointed out that Twitter archives already exist](https://twitter.com/bmann/status/1347937473494618112?s=20).

       I am... somewhat distraught that a lot of decentral type people think about this issue as censorship, rather than the "let's deplatform fascists issue" that it actually is. Twitter is in no way a public utility. Own your "distribution" -- whether it's direct mailing list subscriptions or your own community social network: run your own Discourse or Mastodon server. Twitter _is_ today's mass media: use it for distribution, but know that you're there at the company's sufferance.

       I guess I should document my [[Twitter Archive]], which lives at <https://tweets.bmannconsulting.com/>. In a week or so, when [[Fission]] has [[Github Actions]] support, I can start publishing this to [[IPFS]] directly, instead of hosting it on Github Pages. Doing this direct from Google Sheets to Fission would be ideal, as a little one off Twitter Archive app.

       Doing some work on the [[Marfa Theme]] for my [[Micro.blog]] site. Running [[Hugo]] locally is really fast! I still have about 200 orphaned posts that I'd like to import into Mb at some point, which I use for testing, and with Hugo it's pretty instantaneous.

       I'm stuck in the dark with Hugo a little bit, as I can't prototype locally because how to structure this for Mb isn't really documented. I guess I'll file another issue in the help documentation, as the only public place you can kind of file this stuff. I really wish Manton would just open source the whole thing or more properly make it non-commercial / source available.

       I am writing up notes from a discussion with @Flancian. We have been “chatting” on Twitter and Mastodon about various topics, and ended up booking a time to speak in person last Wednesday, [[January 20th, 2021]].

       Very quickly on the call it was clear we were “pushing” context into each others brains so that we could get to deeper topics and explore shared areas of interest.

       One of the specific areas we talked about and were exploring together is Digital Gardens, [[Second Brain]]s, and, as @Flancian calls them, [[Agora]]s. His specific implementation is [[Anagora]].

       I had mentioned to him that I was interested in experimenting with this site, but after all the recent tinkering I had done, I had kept the git repo private and closed. To prep for the call, it was a good excuse to bring the repo for this site public. It is available at <https://github.com/bmann/bmcgarden>. Actually connecting it into the Agora will be documented in the future.[^colophon]

       ## Will connecting second brains at the Markdown layer work?

       My site is “a bunch of Markdown files in a git repo” as its “source code”, but it gets processed by [[Jekyll]], and actually by the double bracket backlink and other features of the [[Simply Jekyll]] theme.

     

       26
       26
       +
       

     

       27
       27
       +
       In fact, the completely normal Jekyll behaviour of specifying what the resulting web permalinks look like from source Markdown files is completely custom per site.

     

       28

       29
       29
       +
       I already know that some of the syntax of Simply Jekyll is going to be problematic for portability. I like the side notes and margin notes features, but they are totally custom.

       31
       31
       +
       I have a note to move many of them to regular Markdown footnotes, and then add [[BigfootJS]] to have a nicer display. Knowing myself, I _will_ want to switch around the theme and engine behind this site in the future, so using more standard “source code” is important.

       I’ve said before a couple of times now that if the various note taking initiatives / engines / apps want to interlink, there are going to need to be some conventions or specifications or something.

       I stopped using [[LogSeq]] in part because of their Markdown formatting.[^logseqmd] which isn’t compatible with regular posts in any other system.

       37
       37
       +
       [^logseqmd]: LogSeq has bullet lists that visually look like Roam Research or other outline-primary systems. The text that is created uses hashtags (which are used for headings in regular Markdown) for each level of outliner, which just looks like a page full of headings when attempted to publish using a regular Markdown renderer.

       How is the extended Note-verse going to come to some consensus? How do we layer backlinks or other supersets of Markdown for note-specific purposes together? And, to do this at a text-only layer, which in turn has to work with a build process and/or live hosting software, desktop software, and display layers across multiple different programming languages and software architectures.

       We can, of course, also connect over the Internet. Mostly, I mean linking to other pages, but there are some other protocols and standards that may prove useful or be the base layer on which backlinks or extended references could be built.

       We ended up talking about convention of being able to do [[double brackets]] anywhere one can put text, like on Twitter or Mastodon, which could then be processed and sucked back into an [[agora]]. No spec, no permission, just a convention that starts being used, which is exactly how @ChrisMessina invented the hashtag.

       ## On Social Networks and Community

     

       76
       76
       +
       

     

       77
       77
       +
       I mentioned the [[Orbit Model]] of looking at community engagement.

     

       78

       Both of us have found the [[Loomio]] style community management / engagement in [[Social Coop]] to be hard to get started with / put time into.

       Flancian sees the agora as an integration hub. For Fission, we’re using the label [[constellation provider]]. Some equivalencies?

     

       82

       83
       83
       +
       Can a social network do more to connect people and have them learn from each other? Similar as the [[Viznut Eternal September]] post: social networks beyond consumption or entertainment.

     

       84
       84
       +
       

     

       85
       85
       +
       If you take two people and most of their opinions are the same, can we dig down into the areas where they are different in a way to learn why they differ? Understanding and learning.

     

       86
       86
       +
       

     

       87
       87
       +
       I mentioned [[chicken fingers vs. tentacles]]: you have to understand the preferences and biases of another person if you hope to give them useful recommendations, because your recommendations are based on YOUR preferences.

     

       88
       88
       +
       

     

       89

       An agora is a tool for building context.

     

       90

       +
       

     

       91
       91
       +
       New wording. A [[Stoa]] is shared context with explicit overlap defined by its members.

     

       92
       92
       +
       

     

       93
       93
       +
       A data structure and a social graph that is designed toward problem solving.

     

       94
       94
       +
       

     

       95
       95
       +
       I introduced the concept of a [[Squad]]: a collection of people with a set of skills coming together to jointly work on some tasks or goals.

     

       96
       96
       +
       

     

       97
       97
       +
       Lightbulb moment: we are in a [[Stoa]] together — we have overlapping interests and context. The next step is to form a [[Squad]] initially of the two of us, aimed at some tasks / goals.

     

       98
       98
       +

       ## Goals

     

       100
       100
       +
       

     

       101
       101
       +
       What goals can we work on?

     

       102
       102
       +
       

     

       103
       103
       +
       ### Cross post between social networks

     

       104
       104
       +
       

     

       105
       105
       +
       Use Flancian’s agora as an integration hub, leaning into the server aspects. Like [[Social.Coop]], form a [[Stoa]] around it to meet common goals.

     

       106
       106
       +
       

     

       107
       107
       +
       [[Moa Party]] is what Flancian currently uses to sync between Twitter and Mastodon. It has an Instagram API, which currently isn’t working.

     

       108
       108
       +
       

     

       109
       109
       +
       Create an [[Open Collective]] to see if we can pool funds to pay someone to enable the Instagram API again, so we can cross post our photos into that social network.

     

       110
       110
       +
       

     

       111
       111
       +
       Make some blog posts, announce the idea, get in touch with moa.party maintainers, see who else is interested in joining this Squad.

     

       112
       112
       +

       ### Agora Interlinks from Social Posts

     

       114
       114
       +
       

     

       115
       115
       +
       We’re already experimenting with Twitter / Mastodon [[double bracket]] linking.

     

       116
       116
       +
       

     

       117
       117
       +
       Can we use the agora integration hub to do more of this?

     

       118
       118
       +
       

     

       119
       119
       +
       What tools do we need to do to ingest these posts into agoras?

     

       120
       120
       +
       

     

       121
       121
       +
       Also need to explore common patterns and conventions. How do we inter-work with e.g. hashtags?

     

       122
       122
       +
       

     

       123

       +
       ### Experiment with linked agoras

     

       124
       124
       +
       

     

       125
       125
       +
       As mentioned above, Boris’ garden is now a [public git repo](https://github.com/bmann/bmcgarden).

     

       126
       126
       +
       

     

       127
       127
       +
       What to do next? How do we connect?

     

       128
       128
       +
       

     

       129
       129
       +
       Make a call for other git repo based agoras to link.

     

       130
       130
       +
       

     

       131

       ## Other Ideas & Resources

     

       132
       132
       +
       

     

       133
       133
       +
       I used to run my own [[Micropub]] server. [[IndieKit]] is the one I recommend.

     

       134
       134
       +
       

     

       135
       135
       +
       Making it easier for other people to run their own agora should be a goal. I created a [[Simply Jekyll Template]] repo on Github, and hooked it up to [[Forestry]] and published it to Netlify. 

     

       136
       136
       +
       

     

       137
       137
       +
       Add agora features? Add instructions on how to link into [[Anagora]], and make the template linked in "by default", or at least following some simple steps.

       Last night (morning?) was the final piece of the [[Mac Mini]]: [memory install](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/2021/02/09/i-bought-this.html).

       I also got two final deliveries that I had been waiting on for now. I decided to buy a [[reMarkable]] tablet. My paper notebooks ran out, and I really should have at least one device for quiet reading and note taking that isn't a click away from Twitter. There is some retail therapy there, too.

       The other delivery was [[Ubiquiti]] networking gear for my parents' new [[Foxglove Terrace]] house. I've now got Ubiquiti here at home, at the [[Fission HQ]], and will install it at my parents.

       Other notable events, I was part of a live show put on by [[Startup Vancouver]]. Here's the video from Facebook. I start at around the 17 minute mark, talking about [[Fission]], what we're building, but a lot of focus on vision.

       I was down on [[Clubhouse]] <https://www.joinclubhouse.com/> at the beginning of the video show, but I ended up joining today. I'm thinking of [[BBB]] as a pretty good open source equivalent, and am supposed to be helping [[Social.Coop]] document it.

       I joined Clubhouse because I started getting multiple people in the last day or two inviting me to it -- or asking me if I should be invited or what I thought about it.

       Then, this morning, [as I posted](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/2021/02/13/sitting-at-the.html), I wrote out 6 pages of a blog post at the breakfast table, my [[Drop in Audio]] post.

       Lots of [questions in the Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/bmann/status/1360652606612385801), which I'll capture on the [[reMarkable]] notes page, also where I'll add other things I find out about over time.

       Did a bunch of [[Moa Party]] writing to capture some discussions happening in Matrix. I'm excited for the [[Git Siphon for Moa Party]] feature I wrote up.

       I also bought `moaparty.com`. Nothing there right now, I guess I should at least do a redirect or something. It might be the root domain for running an experimental [[Mastodon]] / [[ActivityPub]] server of some kind for [[FedStoa]] experiments with @flancian and friends.

       As I was finishing up my [[Drop in Audio]] blog post, [[Jam]], an open source [[Clubhouse]]-like system debuted [on ProductHunt](https://www.producthunt.com/posts/jam-d17ff3cc-556c-4c17-8140-5211cb1cd81f). I took a quick look at the code and it requires a few moving pieces and Docker, but it's a great little starting point.

       After a good discussion with @flancian, I added a section to the [[Git Siphon for Moa Party]] to focus on post-per-file. We discovered that we need to think about [[Moa Party]] as being standalone with multiple clients. [[Anagora]] is a client, people's individual gardens are clients, eg. my [[Jekyll]] site.

       9
       9
       +
       This may mean that making Moa Party become a whole [[Micropub]] server that publishes to Git may make sense. [[IndieKit]] has a whole template system so that people can run a variety of git-based static site generators with it.

       Well, everything is working, but need to figure a few things out. I used [[iA Writer]] to post to the site and it works! I've made Article post types into what I call Notes here, the main post type.

       Posting from [[Quill]] as an Article isn't going to work[^article], since it turns everything into HTML and escapes the square brackets in [[wikilinks]].

     

       12

       [^article]: That is, the Micropub Article type, which is meant to be long form and HTML.

       15

       +
       For the (Micropub) Notes post type, I've created a new kind called [[Logs]]. They use the current date stamp as their filename, ~~and I made a temporary logs page to display them~~.

     

       16
       16
       +
       

     

       17
       17
       +
       So, I can post arbitarily long Notes posts with Markdown formatting and wikilinks. This could replace my manual Journal entries. Instead, I would auto-generate journal pages per day (not sure if this is possible), or maybe just show the last N days of logs on a main journal page.[^logstojournal]

       +
       [^logstojournal]: As of 2021-02-22, I'm calling this log type a journal, and in fact merging the journal posts I made before into the logs category.

       The actual server you deploy into [[Heroku]] is one index.js file. Here's mine [bmann/indiekit-bmcgarden](https://github.com/bmann/indiekit-bmcgarden), which in turn is really just a copy of [paulrobertlloyd/paulrobertlloyd-indiekit](https://github.com/paulrobertlloyd/paulrobertlloyd-indiekit).

       I deleted everything except for Articles (which should turn into blog posts) and Notes (which will be notes, as long as notes don't have an arbitrary character limit coming in). I need to figure out templating to do things like turn Bookmarks into notes with the `link:` front matter filled out.

       I have been meaning to tinker with [[OpenFaas]], specifically the non-Kubernetes [[faasd]]. This article -- [Bring a lightweight Serverless experience to DigitalOcean with Terraform and faasd](https://www.openfaas.com/blog/faasd-tls-terraform/) -- walks you through using [[Terraform]] and [[Digital Ocean]] to set things up.

       I got as far as Terraform automating the creation of a Digital Ocean droplet, which is pretty great, but have some errors that may be DNS related. As part of getting things setup, also installed [[doctl]], the command line tool for Digital Ocean.

       I get excited when I have a chance to try new software and...it just works![^1] That was the case with [[git-bug]]. It's a bug tracker that is fully embedded in git. You use the same git repo that you are using for code development to track and update bugs and issues.

     

       11

       On [[MacOS]], `brew install git-bug` and you're up and running. 

     

       13

       14
       14
       +
       `git bug user create` will setup your local user. It will read from your local git settings for full name and email address. The only other thing you'll need is a full link to an avatar image -- the picture that represents you.

     

       15

       16

       Next up is setting up bridges. git-bug supports [[GitLab]], [[GitHub]], [[JIRA]], and minor support for [[Launchpad]], as well as custom implementations.

     

       17

       18
       18
       +
       The [[Moa Party]] project is what I'm going to experiment using git-bug on, which we host on [[GitLab]]. You run `git bug bridge configure` and walk through a terminal interface to fill out your GitLab server details (yes, you can use it with self-hosted GitLab instances), as well as your personal login and an access token.

     

       19
       19
       +
       

     

       20
       20
       +
       When you create a personal access token, you'll need to give it api access permission, which pretty much can do everything on your behalf. I initially created a token without that access, and had a heck of a time figuring out how to fix that. Turns out, go into your local `~/.gitconfig` and delete the token and identity with the wrong permissions. And, `git-bug bridge rm` the original bridge you created with the wrong token, then you can `git-bug bridge configure` a new default.

     

       21
       21
       +
       

     

       22
       22
       +
       And now, unfortunately, I nuked identities using the Makefile (and found [@agentofuser in the issues from a couple of years ago](https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug/issues/230)) and am currently in a state where I can't create a new identity.

       There is a recent (7 days ago) [issue thread](https://github.com/MichaelMure/git-bug/issues/366) that seems to indicate the GitLab API has been improved and this can be working again. git-bug itself works, and I managed to import the existing GitLab issues, but I can't push changes to the GitLab issues.

       Since the [[Agora]] itself works with git a lot, we may actually be able to link git-bugs with the Agora itself in some way, but that's pretty deep git magic for me, since I don't fully understand how git-bug works / where it stores stuff in git.

       > but I distinctly remember Ruby being the hottest language back in 2007, and although it does have more competition today, Ruby is a better language now than it was then. Yet now it is dreaded. Part of the difference, it seems to me, is that now people have 14 years’ worth of rails apps to maintain. That makes Ruby is a lot less fun than when it was all new projects. So watch out Rust and Kotlin and Julia and Go: you too will eventually lose your halo.

       I swapped that blog domain to [[Micro.blog]], and that's where I post photos and short content, and sort of more non tech bloggy content. Yes, there is a [colophon there too](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/colophon).

       This blog is currently powered by [Jekyll 4](http://jekyllrb.com) hosted on [Netlify](http://netlify.com). Netlify builds the site from a private git repo on Github.

       I write short [social posts](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/archives/social/) on my phone via [micropub](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/tags/micropub/). There are a variety of [micropub clients](https://indieweb.org/micropub-clients) you can browse on the IndieWeb site. The [Indigenous native app for iOS](https://indieweb.org/Indigenous_for_iOS) works most reliably.

       I also use [Quill](https://quill.p3k.io/docs) as a <abbr title="Progressive Web App">PWA</abbr> on my phone. It also works great for all kinds of posts on desktop browsers too, including a first draft of long posts.

       [All the Best Recipes](https://allthebest.recipes) are where the long form food / cooking posts go, although I often share them via links and images posted as social posts here.

       My [@bmann Instagram](https://instagram.com/bmann) I manually post to, either a variant of a social post I've already made here, or on the All the Best Recipes site. I cross post to Facebook from Instagram. My "rule" is no posting pictures to Instagram until they've been put somewhere permanent under my control. There is also an [@allthebestrecipes Instagram](https://instagram.com/allthebestrecipes), because really I need more places to post about food.

       I'm now running [paulrobertlloyd's IndieKit](https://paulrobertlloyd.github.io/indiekit/) micropub server, and tweaking the display, feeds, and cross-posting to [Micro.blog](https://micro.blog/boris), which in turn posts to [my @bmann Twitter account](https://twitter.com/bmann).

       You can visit [my micropub server](https://bmann-indiekit.herokuapp.com) to learn more about it. The post types that I have special display and treatment for are:

       * Article -- long form posts in the Blog category by default

     

       32
       32
       +
       * Note -- the vast majority of short posts, often with images attached

     

       33
       33
       +
       * Bookmark -- so I can keep my bookmarks local

     

       34
       34
       +
       * Reply -- because I wanted to support it for leaving comments on other people's posts. This is also the RSVP type, which I've just added extra support for

       36

       The others work, I just haven't coded special treatment for them, so they likely don't display correctly.

       Turned off `jekyll-feed` plugin to have Jekyll generate a custom [RSS feed](/feed.xml), because of the way I customize different kinds of micropub posts.

       ### Jekyll 3 on Netlify (Minimal Mistakes)

       August 2018 - May 2020

       I write on my phone or my Chromebook. On the Chromebook, [Caret](http://thomaswilburn.net/caret/) is a text / coding editor I use. The [Netlify CMS](https://www.netlifycms.org) lets me edit in a browser.

       Short form links get sent to Twitter and/or shared on the [Frontier Community](https://community.frontierfoundry.co)[^deprecatedff]. My [Tumblr](http://tumblr.bmannconsulting.com) is rarely used. Tweets are archived at [tweets.bmannconsulting.com](http://tweets.bmannconsulting.com).

       [^deprecatedff]: The Frontier Community Discourse site got turned into [All the Best Recipes](https://allthebest.recipes). I might re-use it for comments again in the future, for now have Webmentions turned on.

     

       52

       53
       53
       +
       tldr; the Netlify CMS doesn't support drafts on Gitlab, so put things back on Github.

     

       54
       54
       +
       

     

       55
       55
       +
       Also moved to [Michael Rose's Minimal Mistakes theme](https://mmistakes.github.io/minimal-mistakes/). Fighting with nokogiri on the Chromebook means no emoji. This meant posts have a slightly different default layout again: ```sed -i 's/layout: posts/layout: single/' *.md```.

       **In September 2018**, I  [added a bunch of IndieWeb and Micropub interfaces](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/micro-blog-jekyll-micro-pub-and-indie-web/) and created social posts and bookmarks.

       While [OwnYouGram](https://ownyourgram.com/) was working, I posted to [my @bmann Instagram](https://instagram.com/bmann), and those posts would automatically be republished on this site.

       Somewhere around this time frame, JSON feeds were added at [micro.json](/micro.json), [micro-bookmarks.json](/micro-bookmarks.json), and [feed.json](/feed.json), and syndicated to [Micro.blog](https://micro.blog/boris), which I pay to re-publish on other networks. Briefly they went to LinkedIn, now mainly get sent over to Twitter.

       Most writing happened on Medium after November 2014 across various company publications, with the [medium.bmannconsulting.com](http://medium.bmannconsulting.com) subdomain being the one where permanent posts end up. I should probably get around to getting a Medium download so I have them.

       I created a new Gitlab [borismann](http://gitlab.com/borismann) and imported from Bitbucket. I connected Netlify to it, but it failed to build. Digging in, I created a new branch <code>2018-reboot</code> and deleted the <code>Gemfile.lock</code>, and edited <code>Gemfile</code> to use Jekyll 3, a newer Ruby, and nuked the rack stuff. <code>bundle install</code> got things going.

       There is some nonsense with the file watching not working, so <code>bundle exec jekyll serve --no-watch</code> was needed.

       The default post type is now "posts", which meant replacing across all files [using sed](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/112023/how-can-i-replace-a-string-in-a-files/112024#112024): <code>sed -i 's/layout post/layout: posts/' *.md</code>.

       While I was at it, I also migrated the [bmannconsulting main archive](https://www.bmannconsulting.com) to Netlify as well.

       I split off my blog into it's own subdomain. I selected Posterous because I liked built-in comments, and in general it felt more suited to long form writing than Tumblr did. Being able to cross-post back to my main Drupal site so that I would have a copy of the content was also great.

       For the last period, the site was hosted on [Omega8](http://omega8.cc), which specializes in managed Drupal hosting on top of the Aegir mass hosting system. The actual database / content stretched back many versions of Drupal, through a variety of content re-organization and hosting changes.

       When Linux apps are supported, I'll report more. It will likely be easier to just use the Android apps for Cloud Gaming, and direct install various games in Linux either natively or through Steam. [GalliumOS](/chromebook/galliumos) supports [Steam as Additional Software](https://wiki.galliumos.org/Additional_Software). There is the fact that Linux apps are optimized for Intel processors, and Android apps are optimized for non-Intel, which will matter depending on what type of Chromebook you have.

       # Cloud Gaming Services

       For most cloud gaming providers, they probably envision either an Android TV device or Android tablet. But with Chromebooks being able to run Android apps, this means cloud gaming is definitely an option.

       It worked well, but then they stopped supporting the Mac or had Mac problems and in general seemed to revamp the whole system. They are now a subscription service -- sort of.

       With $14.99, you buy 3000 SkyCredits. For a Standard PC, you pay 2 credits per minute, and for a Pro PC you pay 4 credits per minute. That works out to 25 and 12.5 hours.

       I signed back up to give it a try. The Android app is full featured and much less flaky than Parsec. But, specifically with _No Man's Sky_, which is what I wanted to be playing, there was some bug with the way they stream keyboard + mouse and/or gamepad input that your mining laser would fire continuously and mouse sensitivity was screwy.

       Parsec was originally designed to stream from computers you already own. They added cloud gaming with machines from Amazon or Paperspace. You put money on account with Parsec, and then they pay Amazon or Paperspace on your behalf.

       The Android app is in beta[^parsecapk]. I've used it for a ton of hours, but it can be flaky - you can't switch out of the app, or resize it, or really do anything, otherwise it will close the streaming session and you'll need to reconnect. Most of the time this just reconnects and you're back to where you were in the PC or game.

       Paperspace will charge you $5 per month for storage and $0.40 an hour for their machines. However, I found their systems flaky lately, and ultimately deleted my Paperspace and switched to Amazon.

       The 200GB of storage is for datasets and ML notebook stuff. I bumped the machine storage to 250GB -- and so I can install [[Horizon Zero Dawn]] and [[Outriders]] as well as TTW. For an extra $3 per month? So maybe base storage is $10/month as the base price, plus the 51¢/hour? Will see!

       Some strange dejavu around <<tag [[Cloud Gaming]]>> setup. Meaning: not much has actually changed since the last time I looked at this. I really like [[GeforceNOW]] and it's the main thing I use. But there are some games that aren't allowed / don't become available there.

       So, after some futzing around looking at installing Windows on my [[Mac Mini]], here's what I did:

     

       9
       9
       +
       

     

       10
       10
       +
       * Re-activated my [[Parsec]] account

     

       11
       11
       +
       * Re-activated my [[Paperspace]] account  

     

       12
       12
       +
       

     

       13
       13
       +
       Picked a P4000 instance at 51¢ / hour rather than the GPU+ at 45¢ -- just because  

     

       14
       14
       +
       

     

       15
       15
       +
       I had to re-download and install Parsec in shared mode to get it to work properly -- otherwise you couldn't login.  

     

       16
       16
       +
       

     

       17
       17
       +
       That got things working and the machine available on the Mac desktop Parsec client  

     

       18
       18
       +
       

     

       19
       19
       +
       Initiated a windows update (didn't restart yet), and installed Steam  

     

       20
       20
       +
       

     

       21
       21
       +
       100GB is the default size, which these days is barely room for one game  

     

       22
       22
       +
       

     

       23
       23
       +
       * e.g. Horizon Zero Dawn is 75GB, which is not enough space left on this Windows box  

     

       24
       24
       +
       * Outriders is 60GB, and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is 45GB, so I installed Tiny Tina since it's not available on [[GeforceNOW]]  

     

       25
       25
       +
       * Looked at Paperspace shared drives, which are $16 / month, but billed per second https://docs.paperspace.com/core/storage/shared-drives  

     

       26
       26
       +
       * So 30 days x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds = 2,592,000 seconds per month, does that mean $16 / monthly seconds == 0.000006172839506 per second?  

     

       27
       27
       +
       * Paperspace snapshots however are much cheaper https://docs.paperspace.com/core/storage/snapshots/ -- 50GB is $1 per month (but also "billed per second")  

     

       28
       28
       +
       * This only takes a snapsot of your machine -- so... you could install one game at a time, snapshot it, and then delete it? Also a future experiment  

     

       29
       29
       +
       * Paperspace tells me I have 200GB of storage, but not sure where that appears

       Because this is in individual tiddler mode, I'm not sure if I can easily use the Quine app. I can turn it into a single file wiki and then drag and drop back into this checked in source code. <<tag [[To Do]]>>[[Investigate using Quine App with these notes]].

       Since I'm diving deep into [[TiddlyWiki]] these days, I thought I'd try running a TW for the notes section of my website.

       Documenting and updating a [[Colophon]] is a long standing tradition for me, in the 20+ years of publishing my own writing on the web. The [[bmannconsulting colophon|https://bmannconsulting.com/colophon/]] is the version for the whole website over that time. Especially for self-programmable interface like TW, I've gotten in even more of a habit of writing down the changes I make over time.

       Well, WikiJS didn't last long. The public site is back to running [[Jekyll]], starting from the [[Digital Garden Jekyll Template]] and its custom [[Backlinks]] plugin.

       The public site is the "garden", which is in a `public` folder inside the "gazebo", where I can keep private notes. Stored in a private [[Github]] repo.

       Since I have my DNS on [[Cloudflare]], ended up using the [[Cloudflare IPFS Gateway]] to link my site up to where it is hosted on the [[Fission]] platform. Which means the whole thing is on [[IPFS]]. You can [browse the archive 2020 folder](https://bmannconsulting.com/archive/2020/) to see the bare IPFS directories underneath.

       42

       I build the site locally and then publish to Fission.

       - After looking at the options, keeping the wiki separate and keeping it as WikiJS still makes sense; this was originaly `wiki.bmann.ca` (which now redirects here) and the bulk of it was food / travel stuff aka [[Duck Ramen Wiki]]

     

       52

       I realize that while this site is connected into [[Anagora]] (but that’s an instance, so I should be saying [[Agora]] instead?) that I don’t really know how it works! Or what the special features are!

       For instance, this post will be imported there, under “my” node. How does someone, while writing in their agora, link to [[Agora FAQ]]?

       Ideally I don’t want to have to break my flow and go look up a link. So, within some bounds of acceptable markup across different agora engines *and* their plain text representation in Git, what should this look like?

       [[Algolia]] made an [[Electron]] app that could be launched with a key combination like Alfred / Apple's Spotlight, which searched all of the different apps that people used internally at the company.

       >Answering all these questions would require opening several tabs, browsing, 🖱 clicking, locating multiple search boxes, ⌨ typing, refining and closing your browser in frustration 😤, and of course finally asking 10 different colleagues where to find what you are looking for. And you would need to have an account on each website, which is not necessarily the case at Algolia. Developers don’t have a Salesforce account, for example — nor should they.

       [[Anil Dash]] May 2020, ['No Code' is great. But here's why we need *Yes* Code.](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/code-great-heres-why-we-need-yes-anil-dash/)

       Anil goes into the rising trend of "No Code" tools, and goes a step further, saying that we should be focusing on "Yes Code".

       21

       >1. There are millions of important apps, websites, and projects that can't be made by an off-the-shelf template

     

       22
       22
       +
       >2. Being able to code is a superpower, and we should enable more people to tap into that ability, by lowering the barriers

     

       23
       23
       +
       >3. The biggest barriers to coding are technical complexity around processes like collaboration and deployment, and social obstacles like gatekeeping and exclusion — so that's what we've got to fix

       > Today's internet isn't fully serving the needs of a lot of people around the world. There may be great tools for sharing a photo or sending a message, but most of the sites and apps we use every day are made by a small number of companies with goals or incentives that might not match our own. We're feeling the negative effects of that reality every day.

       > Ask yourself: When’s the last time you used an app, or visited a website, that was made by an actual individual  *person* ?

       > BEIPA takes a balanced approach to assigning control of intellectual property (IP) created by an employee. The employee maintains control unless they created the IP in their employee capacity and the IP relates to an existing or prospective company product or service, or was developed for use by the company, or was developed or promoted with existing company IP or with the company's endorsement. A company using BEIPA doesn't try to claim control of an employee's free time knowledge production, nor does it try to extend company control past the period of employment. Think of BEIPA as a commitment to employee autonomy and "work-life balance" – for the mind.

If you'd like to help improve BEIPA for everyone, file an issue or make a pull request. While aiming to maintain the same "balanced" policy, we're keen to see feedback and suggestions for improving BEIPA and associated documentation.

       > Before you can use scp in Blink to transfer your file you need to log in to your server using ssh2. Evidently regular ssh in Blink loads an esdsa key which scp doesn't recognize. To get the rsa key loaded you need to use ssh2 which scp does recognize.

       So, run `ssh2 YOURHOST` first, accept the server, and then you can `scp` to that host like this:

     

       21
       21
       +
       

     

       22

       ```scp YOURHOST:/path/to/file```

     

       23
       23
       +
       

     

       24
       24
       +
       This will download the file and put it in your (local) Blink folder, accessible through the Files app on iOS.

       [Camo](https://reincubate.com/camo/) let's you use your iOS device as a webcam for your Mac. You run an app on your phone or iPad, and another app on your Mac, and can then use the front or back camera as video input camera in any app that supports cameras on Mac.

       > have you come across any entrepreneur-friendly turnkey upstart-administrartor-as-a-service that does it all (similar to Stripe Atlas, Gust, Clerky (registration, virtual address/mailbox scanning, bank account opening, tax filings, proxy directors, renewals) --- or do you still have to cobble together piecemeal clerks and law firms?

       [[Ownr]] https://www.ownr.co/ is relatively new, from [[RBC Ventures]]. Haven't used it myself, but looks like it can be done pretty simply.

       There are no virtual address / mailbox things in Canada that are usable / price effective. Just searching this again to see if anything changed, and it turns out one of the providers is just up the street from me https://www.esnail.ca/box.html/

       You can't open a bank account anywhere in Canada without being physically present with the major banks. You might be able to open a [[KOHO]] https://koho.ca or [[Tangerine]] https://tangerine.ca (got started by ING, now owned by Scotiabank).

       However, [[TransferWise]] https://transferwise.com might fill the gap of not having a Canadian bank account at all for now.

       The list of Canadian banks that more directly integrate with TransferWise is probably a good starting point for "innovative" forward looking banks.

       My friend Mike runs [[Sprout Accounting]] https://sproutaccounting.ca and I use him personally, for all my businesses, and recommend him to startups generally.

     

       36

       37
       37
       +
       I would recommend [[Xero]] https://xero.com for your accounting since you'll need to deal with multi-currency, and just do your own basic book keeping.

     

       38
       38
       +
       

     

       39

       +
       Get some setup consulting from Sprout, and then have them do your corporate taxes at year end.

       41
       41
       +
       For a consulting oriented corporation (i.e. you're not a startup who is going to take in outside investors) you really won't need much for ongoing legal work. As needed, I use [[Samuel Osei]] https://soseilaw.com/ for my personal corporation, and he's been good. For more "startup law", I have people I can recommend at [[Osler]] and [[LaBarge Weinstein]].

       A "regular" corporation is going to be the easiest. In Canada, BC doesn't have a residency requirement for Directors. We're the closest to the "Delaware" of Canada. There are no LLC-like structures in Canada.

       ### Installing

     

       58

       +
       

     

       59
       59
       +
       `cheat` has no dependencies. To install it, download the executable from the

     

       60
       60
       +
       [releases][] page and place it on your `PATH`.

     

       61
       61
       +
       

     

       62
       62
       +

       ### Configuring

     

       64

       +
       

     

       65
       65
       +
       #### conf.yml ###

     

       66
       66
       +
       `cheat` is configured by a YAML file that will be auto-generated on first run.

     

       67
       67
       +
       Should you need to create a config file manually, you can do

     

       68
       68
       +
       so via:

     

       69
       69
       +
       

     

       70
       70
       +
       ```sh

     

       71
       71
       +
       mkdir -p ~/.config/cheat && cheat --init > ~/.config/cheat/conf.yml

     

       72
       72
       +
       ```

     

       73
       73
       +
       

     

       74
       74
       +
       By default, the config file is assumed to exist on an XDG-compliant

     

       75
       75
       +
       configuration path like `~/.config/cheat/conf.yml`. If you would like to store

     

       76
       76
       +
       it elsewhere, you may export a `CHEAT_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable that

     

       77
       77
       +
       specifies its path:

     

       78
       78
       +
       

     

       79
       79
       +
       ```sh

     

       80
       80
       +
       export CHEAT_CONFIG_PATH="~/.dotfiles/cheat/conf.yml"

     

       81
       81
       +
       ```

     

       82
       82
       +
       

     

       83
       83
       +
       ### Cheatsheets

     

       84
       84
       +
       

     

       85
       85
       +
       Cheatsheets are plain-text files with no file extension, and are named

     

       86
       86
       +
       according to the command used to view them:

     

       87
       87
       +
       

     

       88
       88
       +
       ```sh

     

       89
       89
       +
       cheat tar     # file is named "tar"

     

       90
       90
       +
       cheat foo/bar # file is named "bar", in a "foo" subdirectory

     

       91
       91
       +
       ```

     

       92
       92
       +
       

     

       93
       93
       +
       Cheatsheet text may optionally be preceeded by a YAML frontmatter header that

     

       94
       94
       +
       assigns tags and specifies syntax:

     

       95
       95
       +
       

     

       96
       96
       +
       ```

     

       97
       97
       +
       ---

     

       98
       98
       +
       syntax: javascript

     

       99
       99
       +
       tags: [ array, map ]

     

       100
       100
       +
       ---

     

       101
       101
       +
       // To map over an array:

     

       102
       102
       +
       const squares = [1, 2, 3, 4].map(x => x * x);

     

       103
       103
       +
       ```

     

       104
       104
       +
       

     

       105
       105
       +
       The `cheat` executable includes no cheatsheets, but [community-sourced

     

       106
       106
       +
       cheatsheets are available][cheatsheets]. You will be asked if you would like to

     

       107
       107
       +
       install the community-sourced cheatsheets the first time you run `cheat`.

     

       108
       108
       +
       

     

       109
       109
       +
       

     

       110
       110
       +
       ### Cheatpaths

     

       111
       111
       +
       

     

       112
       112
       +
       Cheatsheets are stored on "cheatpaths", which are directories that contain

     

       113
       113
       +
       cheetsheets. Cheatpaths are specified in the `conf.yml` file.

     

       114
       114
       +
       

     

       115
       115
       +
       It can be useful to configure `cheat` against multiple cheatpaths. A common

     

       116
       116
       +
       pattern is to store cheatsheets from multiple repositories on individual

     

       117
       117
       +
       cheatpaths:

     

       118
       118
       +
       

     

       119
       119
       +
       ```yaml

     

       120
       120
       +
       # conf.yml:

     

       121
       121
       +
       # ...

     

       122
       122
       +
       cheatpaths:

     

       123
       123
       +
         - name: community                   # a name for the cheatpath

     

       124
       124
       +
           path: ~/documents/cheat/community # the path's location on the filesystem

     

       125
       125
       +
           tags: [ community ]               # these tags will be applied to all sheets on the path

     

       126
       126
       +
           readonly: true                    # if true, `cheat` will not create new cheatsheets here

     

       127
       127
       +
       

     

       128
       128
       +
         - name: personal

     

       129
       129
       +
           path: ~/documents/cheat/personal  # this is a separate directory and repository than above

     

       130
       130
       +
           tags: [ personal ]

     

       131
       131
       +
           readonly: false                   # new sheets may be written here

     

       132
       132
       +
       # ...

     

       133
       133
       +
       ```

     

       134
       134
       +
       

     

       135
       135
       +
       The `readonly` option instructs `cheat` not to edit (or create) any cheatsheets

     

       136
       136
       +
       on the path. This is useful to prevent merge-conflicts from arising on upstream

     

       137
       137
       +
       cheatsheet repositories.

     

       138
       138
       +
       

     

       139
       139
       +
       If a user attempts to edit a cheatsheet on a read-only cheatpath, `cheat` will

     

       140
       140
       +
       transparently copy that sheet to a writeable directory before opening it for

     

       141
       141
       +
       editing.

     

       142
       142
       +
       

     

       143
       143
       +
       #### Directory-scoped Cheatpaths ###

     

       144
       144
       +
       At times, it can be useful to closely associate cheatsheets with a directory on

     

       145
       145
       +
       your filesystem. `cheat` facilitates this by searching for a `.cheat` folder in

     

       146
       146
       +
       the current working directory. If found, the `.cheat` directory will

     

       147
       147
       +
       (temporarily) be added to the cheatpaths.

     

       148
       148
       +
       

     

       149
       149
       +
       ### Usage

       cheat tar      # a "top-level" cheatsheet

     

       155
       155
       +
       cheat foo/bar  # a "nested" cheatsheet

       161
       +
       cheat -e tar     # opens the "tar" cheatsheet for editing, or creates it if it does not exist

     

       162
       162
       +
       cheat -e foo/bar # nested cheatsheets are accessed like this

       ### Advanced Usage

       +
       Shell autocompletion is currently available for `bash`, `fish`, and `zsh`. Copy

     

       212
       212
       +
       the relevant [completion script][completions] into the appropriate directory on

     

       213
       213
       +
       your filesystem to enable autocompletion. (This directory will vary depending

     

       214
       214
       +
       on operating system and shell specifics.)

     

       215
       215
       +
       

     

       216
       216
       +
       Additionally, `cheat` supports enhanced autocompletion via integration with

     

       217
       217
       +
       [fzf][]. To enable `fzf` integration:

     

       218
       218
       +
       

     

       219
       219
       +
       1. Ensure that `fzf` is available on your `$PATH`

     

       220
       220
       +
       2. Set an envvar: `export CHEAT_USE_FZF=true`

       Purely having a list of my recommendations, or a list of my favourites, won't itself encode the context of my preferences in order to be usefully make "my friends like" style recommendations.

       If I enjoy a lot of different and adventurous kinds of food -- I'm more on the "Tentacles" side of the scale of trying out new things at restaurants -- then I won't actually be able to give you good recommendations if you are on the "chicken fingers" end of the scale.

       Knowing more about you and your preferences, and also having experience or relevant expertise around an area like food and restaurants, I may be able to recommend "chicken fingers" compatible options.

       I'm a fan of Chromebooks because they are what I used to love about my Macbook Air 11": small, powerful, computers with long battery life. In addition, they also happen to be pretty inexpensive -- a very good machine starts at $600CAD.

       [[Cloudflare]] has a [Distributed Web Gateway](https://www.cloudflare.com/distributed-web-gateway/) page that covers both [[IPFS]] and [[Ethereum]].

     

       6
       6
       +
       

     

       7
       7
       +
       Here is the extreme TLDR of using their IPFS gateway (if you already have your DNS hosted with Cloudflare):

     

       8
       8
       +
       

     

       9
       9
       +
       1. Create a CNAME for your website that points to `cloudflare-ipfs.com` -- in my case for my root domain, `bmannconsulting.com`

     

       10
       10
       +
       2. Create a TXT record at `_dnslink.bmannconsulting.com`

     

       11
       11
       +
       3. Enter in `dnslink=/ipns/APPNAME.fission.app` -- from the [[Fission]] [Guide on controlling your own DNS](https://guide.fission.codes/hosting/custom-domains/control-own-dns)

     

       12
       12
       +
       

     

       13
       13
       +
       Unfortunately, Cloudflare automatically has 6 hours of caching set, and no way to automatically purge / refresh cache when using [[IPNS]] in your [[DNSLink]]. [Request on the Cloudflare community forum here for cache clear](https://community.cloudflare.com/t/cloudflare-ipfs-gateway-cache-clear/35488).

     

       14
       14
       +
       

     

       15
       15
       +
       For now, setting the DNSLink to use a hash and updating it with [[ipfs deploy]] would be one way to make this work.

       The apartment I currently live in is a 3 story, 10 unit apartment building. I was doing some research and found a [similar apartment on West 12th](https://goodmanreport.com/sold-properties/1209-cedar-crest-manor-1569-west-12th-avenue-vancouver/).

     

       20
       20
       +
       

     

       21
       21
       +
       It has a [full PDF of rent and expenses](https://goodmanreport.com/content/Rent%20Roll%20&%20Expenses%201569%20W%2012th%20Ave,%20Vancouver1.pdf), showing that the total annual expenses, including property taxes, is $41K. So, $3417 per month, or $342 / unit / month.

     

       22
       22
       +
       

     

       23
       23
       +
       From the 2019 assessment, the building is worth $5.8M, of which ~$2.8M is land, and ~$3M is the building. For simple math, this means that if the land were placed in a CLT, each unit could sell for $300K, with a ~$400 / month strata fee.

     

       24
       24
       +
       

     

       25
       25
       +
       There are other calculations here, like having some capital on hand, choosing some of the units as rentals, and so on, but at first glance, these numbers seem very doable to make for affordable housing, whether you consider rental or purchase.

       This article was a really comprehensive overview. Some of it is US centric -- both corporate structures and real-estate specific items around investing are different in Canada -- but I feel a lot more informed about the process and how to think about some of these concepts.

       > As high quality content and effective brand strategy move down the long tail, “community” has become an important concept for every post-Web 2.0 player. Crypto token holders, influencer fanbases, DTC brand customers, creator audiences, and new social networks are all often referred to as communities, and each has a stake in developing community for itself.

But as they become normalized, paid communities are becoming a viable business model for smaller-scale social networks aiming to be both profitable and socially sustainable.

       > Bloomberg is an example of the classic Web 2.0 business maxim “come for the tool, stay for the network.” But the inverse trajectory, from which this essay takes its name, is now equally viable: “come for the network, pay for the tool.” Just as built-in social networks are a moat for information products, customized tooling is a moat for social networks.

       > The inevitable failures, however, should not discredit the entire project of bespoke social networks designed around specific community needs. Prospective entrepreneurs, operators, content creators, and designers are the “social engineers” of these spaces, and here is found the transformative potential of the model. Here, design, development, and content creation are no longer merely tools for generating revenue; they are also tools of community organizing. Here, design and engineering take on the valence of care, and the emotional involvement of being a contributor, moderator, and member. Where does “design” end and “moderation” begin? Because the mainstream social networks have been designed by a tiny number of people, we have been prevented from experimenting and creating new knowledge about what sustainable community management online looks like. Start erasing the line between operators, customers, and community members disappears, and squint; you begin make out the shape of a group of people who can build for themselves and determine their own path of development.

Because dbt is interpolating the locations of all of the models it generates, it allows users to easily create dev and prod environments and seamlessly transition between the two. And because dbt natively understands the dependencies between all models, it can do powerful things like run models in dependency order, parallelize model builds, and run arbitrary subgraphs defined in its model selection syntax.

But if your goal is to have thousands of employees and fundamentally change the world with your products, as most lofty tech companies aspire to do, the idea that the company should be solely profit motivated based on the mission set almost exclusively by the founder results in a world that gives an extreme amount of (undemocratic) power to those founders that are successful.

       The [[Internet Archive]] hosted the [[DWeb SF Meetup]] on [[January 20th, 2020]]. The [blog post titled 'Our Social Media is Broken. Is Decentralization the Fix?'](http://blog.archive.org/2020/01/30/our-social-media-is-broken-is-decentralization-the-fix/) has a great summary with links to all of the people and resources mentioned in the video below.

       > Graber helped us understand the broad categories of what’s out there: federated protocols such as [[ActivityPub]] and [[Matrix]]; peer-to-peer protocols such as [[Scuttlebutt]], and social media apps that utilize blockchain in some way for  monetization, provenance or storage. What was clear from Graber’s talk was that she had tested and used dozens of tools, from Mastodon to [[Iris]], Martti Malmi’s new P-2-P social app and she deftly laid out the pros and cons of each.

Without a positive vision for what Canada wants to be in a digital era, it’s likely we will continue along with what we’re doing now — being on the defensive, mitigating accelerating power that appears to be institutionally poorly understood.

The effects of Amazon on local retail is very different from the effects of Facebook on hate speech which again is very different from the effects of Google and Apple writing requirements for public health infrastructure. Lumping them together sorely misunderstands the problem and pulls everyone further down the wrong road because they’re calling it technology instead of the various topical subcomponents being impacted.

Without that power, if it gets further foreclosed through technology (which is the trend we’re on), that work gets harder to do. I hope this thread — from tech to public power to sovereignty to reconciliation — is one that we can use to place work done at each part in the chain in closer relation to the next part.

       ### Welcome!

     

       13
       13
       +
       

     

       14
       14
       +
       This is your first note. You'll find it in the [`notes/`](https://github.com/maximevaillancourt/digital-garden-jekyll-template/tree/master/_notes) directory.

     

       15
       15
       +
       

     

       16
       16
       +
       ### Link syntax

     

       17
       17
       +
       

     

       18
       18
       +
       To link to another note, you can use regular [Markdown syntax](https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/) for links, with a relative link to the other note, like this: [this is a link to a note about cats](/cats){: .internal-link}. Don't forget to use the `.internal-link` class to make sure the link is styled as an internal link.

     

       19
       19
       +
       

     

       20
       20
       +
       > Note: I'm running GitHub flavoured CommonMark here, so you can also just paste in bare links and they will link automatically

     

       21
       21
       +
       

     

       22
       22
       +
       Since the Web is all about HTML, you can always use plain HTML if you want, like this: <a class="internal-link" href="/cats">This is the same note about cats as above</a>.

     

       23
       23
       +
       

     

       24
       24
       +
       Of course, you can also link to external websites, like this: [this is a link to Wikipedia](https://wikipedia.org/). Again, you can use plain HTML if you prefer.

     

       25
       25
       +
       

     

       26
       26
       +
       Additionally, you can use Roam/wiki-style link syntax by wrapping a note's title in double brackets, like this: [[Colophon]]. If the Roam-style link does not point to a valid note's title, the double brackets will still be shown, like this: [[There is no note with this title]].

     

       27
       27
       +
       

     

       28
       28
       +
       ### Automatic bi-directional links

     

       29
       29
       +
       

     

       30
       30
       +
       Notice in the "Notes mentioning this note" section that there is another note linking to this note. This is a bi-directional link, and those are automatically created when you create links to other notes.

     

       31

       32

       ### Link previews

     

       33
       33
       +
       

     

       34
       34
       +
       If you're on a device with mouse support, try hovering your mouse on internal links to preview the notes: [[Colophon]]

     

       35
       35
       +
       

     

       36
       36
       +
       ### Images

     

       37
       37
       +
       

     

       38
       38
       +
       Finally, you can display images using Markdown syntax, like this:

     

       39
       39
       +
       

     

       40
       40
       +
       ![]({{page.image}})

     

       41
       41
       +
       

     

       42
       42
       +
       ### Next steps

     

       43

       There is a new (late 2020) [Discourse for Teams](https://teams.discourse.com) offering that starts at $20/month for up to 5 team members on a fully private forum.

       Self-hosting Discourse is quite reasonable to do on a ~$10 month VPS. The instructions and updates are very well done to be automated, and you can just cut-and-paste commands. It uses [[Docker]], plus a pretty simply process to add additional plugins and re-run the Docker process.

       There are instructions for running a second Docker instance to enable [[Discourse email posting]] in an integrated way as well.

       > As explained in [The Rise of Startup Studios](https://www.gssn.co/media), a white paper published by The Global Startup Studio Network in 2019, the term “startup studio” covers a wide range of actors and operating principles.

     

       7
       7
       +
       To be considered a startup studio, we set an arbitrary threshold of a minimum of _6 months of highly active assistance_ to each startup. Anything below the threshold can be broadly covered by the term “accelerator”.

       12

       +
       > * Are the ideas born **“internally”** and subsequently pitched to entrepreneurs who’ll join the venture or does the studio consider **“external”** ideas by partnering with or finding inspiration from an existing team of entrepreneurs with their own idea.

       Essentiality is the heart of any good software, and this theme is designed to ensure that I don't add things that I won't use on a daily basis or not have things that would be important for my personal usecase. It has been designed carefully to get rid of all  the feature creeps, bloatwares, etc. i.e., no bootstrap, no semantic, no jquery, no nothing...

       ### Backlinks

       34

       +
       Backlinks or as Roam Research calls it "Birdirectional Links" is a nifty little feature that allows not only users reading your essays/articles to encounter interesting related articles, this is something you as a author yourself will see how powerful it is once you start browsing around your website. Backlinks are basically a link on PostA indicating all the mentions of PostA on different Posts.

     

       35
       35
       +
       

     

       36
       36
       +
       The neat stuff is it won't show up with an empty box if a given post doesn't have any backlinks and if it is already included in backlinks, it won't show up in your related posts[[**Related Posts:** Posts that share same tag(s).<br> **Linked References(Backlinks):** Posts that link other posts inside your blog.::rmn]]. :)

     

       37

       38

       39
       39
       +
       Here is a screenshot of what mentions/backlinks will look like in a page:

     

       40

       42
       42
       +
       

     

       43
       43
       +
       In the above example, it can be seen that there are three links, it means that all the three pages have a link to the page in which they are being displayed as a backlink.

       Of what use are such wide margins when you can't make efficient use of them. Fear not, we have a way to handle that too --- Marginnotes[[There are two types of people, those who have taste and those who don't. And anyone who has even a tiny bit of taste will never, never-ever use footnotes over sidenotes.<br><cite>---Some random blogger who shall remain unamed</cite>::rmn]]. For what it's worth, when you stroll down a garden, you don't ever see a flower bloom 10 miles away from the plant do you? This is where sidenotes come in and replace their paper-era sibling ie., footnotes. If it is relevant you see it right there. (No scrolling = No cognitive strain). The entire idea is to allow users to have a pleasant time on your blog i.e., Not too distracting(offputting), not too mesmerizing, just the right amount of ornamentation to allow seamless reading experience[[I see it as an issue of managing & exposing the length. Some readers want to go as deep as you can take them, but others are frustrated if you block them from moving on. I deal with it by use of collapsible sections+abstracts, margin notes, and explicit topics in list items.<br/><cite>---Tweet by Gwern Branwen</cite>::lsn]]. The added advantage we have with this website is it has wide margins allowing us to use both sides for sidenotes. So we can use them for quotations, small snippets, and also for interactive/expository animations.

       The first one on the right is a marginnote and the second one on the left is a sidenote. You may ask what is the difference, it looks all the same to me. You are right to some extent, but if you look closely you will see that the one on left has a number attached to it while the one on the right doesn't. Yes, that is all the difference there is, at least [[Edward Tufte::https://edwardtufte.github.io/tufte-css/]] says.

       Context menus are a great way to improve user experience if they are done correctly. Given that our theme has a feed-link structure for the landing page, it leverages the opportunity and saves second time visitors who have already read the article and are only here to see other related articles or the backlinks by just simply right clicking on the feed. Thereby saving users the unnecessay time involved with clicking on a link and scrolling all the way down to see the backlinks or related articles.

       Ever been to a blog or a tutorial site and seen links to other pages without any clue as to what that page is about apart from vague statements like "See Related" or "Click here for Part II". We all have had that experience, haven't we? Wouldn't it be nice to be able to take a cursory glance at the page just so that you could get a feel of it and decide quickly as to whether or not do you really want to read that post without having to click on the link and wait for the ginormous scroll of text to load? That is precisely what page previews are for. For eg, try to hover over this link: [[Serendipity Based outlook as a driver for large Scale personal projects]].

       ### Transclusion

       Once I had sidenotes and page preview for my blog, transclusion[[Serendipity Based outlook as a driver for large Scale personal projects::rmn-transclude]] just felt like the natural next step to it. I mean there are less important pages that you can leave at the discretion of the readers to hover-over and take a peak, and then there are pages that you want to explicity show a glimpse of, but how do you do it? Obviously, putting a chunk of random text in the most of your post is just unacceptable UX, but then how else do you do  it? You could just combine the nifty little preview thingy with your nice little sidenote thingy and let users get a glimpse of the important stuff without getting distracted. Amazing, isn't it?

       Now the biggest of them all: the permalink curse. Most of us are never happy with the first title that we come up with, and when you excitingly write a new post embedding an old post---the title of which you always wanted to change but never got time to do so because you were busy creating content---it sometimes happens that you forget to update the relevant link all the associated places that you linked it in. And I think this is worst of them all in terms of an UX nightmare.

       Although we don't have a complete solution given that we are using a static site generator, I think we have a decent mechanism to atleast find the culprit links without clicking at them (a.k.a highlighting links that don't point anywhere, but ideally must be pointing to some location due to which they cannot be deleted).

     

       78

       Here is an example of:

     

       80
       80
       +
       - A perfectly valid link: [[Comparison based on accomplishment does not have a baseline]]

     

       81
       81
       +
       - A bad link that does not point anywhere: [[Some non-existing title]]

     

       82
       82
       +
       

     

       83
       83
       +
       See how it highlights in yellow? I feel this is a game-changer that anyone who has a personal website should at least think of incorporating in their website given the number of deadlink issues we face.

       **Note**: This only works with local/internal links.

       So you are writing an essay and you want to emphasize a particular portion of your essay to your audience that you think is just mindblowing. Tools like Medium provide such an easy way to do this while we still keep scratching our head with mark tags and p tag with a background color and what not.. Worry not, this theme allows you to easily highlight a portion of a text without any hassle.

       Anki has been my friend, my well-wisher, my guardian, pretty much everything for the last one year of my intellectual life. I have a half-hour morning routine that I follow dilligently in going through the scheduled anki decks to strengthen my neuronal connection on a particular topic/subject. And I have been doing it consistently for almost a year now. This is an attempt at recreating the aspect of spaced-repetition to allow my brain to form interesting connections based on things I have already written. The plan is to extend it using local storage and somekind of firebase like service to provide a constant reminder to users using the supermemo algorithm, but as of now, this is where I stand --- a simple on-click card to keep the thing going until I build something better.

       If you have ever used a social media with feeds you probably have stalked the profiles of people you find interesting, but the problem is as much as the mystery gets someone into look at your profile, it also makes them form opinions. If the profile reads author, you see their feed one way; and if it says scientist from Caltech, you see it the other. I mean as much as authority is a thing to form opinions about, it also alienates people from what could potentially have been a great relation if not for the credentiality and appearance. So, the idea with the profile board was to get done with this stuff right away so that people can enjoy the content instead of going profile hunting on your credibility and accomplishments and appearances to judge and validate their opinions by validating you.

       This is inspired by the browsers like Chrome and Firefox where the searchbar is always placed at the top so that readers can easily search for the next thing without having to go back to the main page and scroll through dozens of articles.

       And I personally like this one because, it allows me as an author/writer to quickly jump between different posts while I am reading my articles to reference in my other articles.

       **Note**: The searchbar is not implemented as a scrollspying widget that pins itself automatically is because I have a preference for distraction free content when reading, that is why the website provides a chevron to scroll to the top easily instead of pinning the search to the header.

       I am a big fan of Aza Raskin's infinite scroll design and the fact that it provides such an easy way to engage users is just mind-blowing. That said, I must also confess that I am not a big fan of infinite scrolls on social media websites given their addictive nature. Blogs are fundamentally finite in nature. I mean even if you are a highly productive individual who writes a thousand page essay a day, you would have only written 365 essays and not all of them interesting to me. So having a feed-like structure on blogs I feel is fundamental to allowing users to engage in a more neutral way.

       Sometimes you are writing something interesting but have not completed the entire thing, lets say like a series of posts on single, it can be helpful to show users right away on the feed/homepage the status so that when they click the post, their expectations are already managed.

       If you go the posts on the homepage, and go inside any of them and try to click on the tags such as date or category, you will see that it takes you to a page with all the posts belonging to that tag or date. Just a nifty little feature.

       Forwarded to me by @cambel, who also tagged @catthekin as starting to practice this fifth generation management. Feels like [[Wardley Maps]] fit in here as well, plus the [[Pioneers, Settlers, and Town Planners]] concepts. Well, just channeling [[Simon Wardley]] generally.

       I haven't used my root `bmannconsulting` domain for things for a while. The [[Archive]] has 12 years of lightly pruned blog posts. I ran a separate wiki for a while, mostly about food and travel, but it was very useful for notes on [[ChromeOS]] and other non-food things, so the Garden is back to being a wiki-like interface for notes, concepts, and other snippets that aren't blog posts.

       Calling it a garden because it's organic, messy, sprawling, and where things grow. It's also an area that people can "walk around in", much like a physical garden.

       Wikis have fallen out of fashion these days, although their concepts in tools like [[Notion]] are perhaps bigger than ever. "wiki gardening" is a term that I've used and an activity I've practiced in the past, so that fits, too.

       [[Processing]] is where I'm stashing articles I intend to quote and keep and other snippets of information. I've got [[Working Copy]] on my phone, so I can copy / paste information and check it in. Right now, I have to get back to my computer to publish it, which isn't ideal.

       ## Blog posts vs Notes

     

       36

       What's the difference between a blog post and a note? When I say it like that, it seems simple. But, this note is a great example. I'm writing it for myself -- to figure out what I think -- and I'm writing it in public, so I can share it and point people at it when they ask about my setup.

     

       38
       38
       +
       

     

       39
       39
       +
       But a blog post would never make it public in this shape. I'm playing with using the [[WIP]] tag -- for myself, so I can know which notes need some more work. Which is kind of like the [[Processing]] page, too. Lots of loose ends, but in a good way.

       More recently, it's been calling itself a [[Headless CMS]]. You can use Ghost for its admin and editing interface for making blog posts and pages, and then use a different framework such as [[11ty]][^11tyghost] on the front end to customize and display the content.

       Ghost was created from initial Kickstarter funding in 2013. It is now run through the non-profit Ghost Foundation, whose main source of revenue is Ghost Pro -- professional hosting of the Ghost software. The metrics for the foundation are all public.

       > We set Ghost up as non-profit foundation so that it would always be true to its users, rather than shareholders or investors. Our legal constitution ensures that the company can never be bought or sold, and one hundred percent of our revenue is reinvested into the product and the community.

       My [[agora]] is stored in Git as a series of Markdown files, and I have some process for adding, editing, and publishing those notes. The [[Anagora]] server automatically ingests and publishes my agora directly from a Git interface.

     

       13

       A [[siphon]] is a way of ingesting content into an agora. By using git directly, anything that can post to git can be ingested.

       Since Moa Party already supports Twitter and Mastodon cross posting, it is also a good candidate to add a git siphon to: posts made to Twitter or Mastodon, as well as being cross posted according to settings, can also be siphoned into the git repo that contains a person's agora notes.

       As a user, I go to moa.party and connect a git account. Gitlab / Github will be the two initial targets, since we have users who have their agoras on both.

       ## Posting to a Daily Log

       26

       +
       Rather than posting tweets as notes, we want to add posts to a Daily Log. 

     

       27
       27
       +
       

     

       28
       28
       +
       If no Daily Log exists for the current day, create it with correct name and front matter, and write the current post to the top of it.

     

       29
       29
       +
       

     

       30
       30
       +
       If it does exist, append the current post to the bottom of the file.

     

       31
       31
       +
       

     

       32
       32
       +
       * preference text field: path to daily logs folder, default `_posts/journal`

     

       33
       33
       +
       * preference text field: format of daily log files, default `[YYYY-MM-DD.md]`

     

       34
       34
       +
       * preference text field: front matter settings

     

       35

       Look at [[IndieKit]] for ideas on templates and how this is done. This can get moderately complicated.

     

       37
       37
       +
       

     

       38
       38
       +
       Something like:

     

       39
       39
       +
       ```html

     

       40
       40
       +
       <article name="TIMESTAMP">

     

       41
       41
       +
       <p>POST CONTENT GOES HERE<br />

     

       42
       42
       +
       <br />AND ANOTHER LINE<br />

     

       43
       43
       +
       <br />AND [[WIKILINKS]] GET LINKED<br />

     

       44
       44
       +
       </p>

     

       45
       45
       +
       <!-- Images at bottom -->

     

       46
       46
       +
       <img src="https://example.com" />

     

       47
       47
       +
       <!-- I have a better example of Twitter posting, we do want to include at least time, timezones are tricky -->

     

       48
       48
       +
       <cite>8:00PM<a href="https://twitter.com">#</a></cite>

     

       49
       49
       +
       </article>

     

       50
       50
       +
       ```

     

       51
       51
       +
       

     

       52
       52
       +
       The output is then a page with each post in chronological order for the day.

     

       53

       ## File per Post

       After discussing with @Flancian, creating the daily log directly removes a lot of flexibility for the user. You lose posts as atomic units, so at best you can only reference the Daily Log for backlinks, and can't really re-use post content elsewhere within your garden.

     

       57
       57
       +
       

     

       58
       58
       +
       We also have to mindful that a [[Jekyll]] garden like mine is only one client of a Moa git-push. Agora is another client, as will be [[Hugo]] and other platforms that get used to make [[SecondBrain]] sites.

     

       59
       59
       +
       

     

       60
       60
       +
       Template preferences might need to be a bit more complicated, but roughly mirror the preferences from Daily Log above, just applying to each file:

     

       61
       61
       +
       

     

       62
       62
       +
       * preference text field: path to social posts folder, default `_social/` (Jekyll specific)

     

       63
       63
       +
         * This makes social posts in Jekyll their own content type, which means users can choose to not even publish them, but still use the data from them e.g. as backlinks or transcluding on the pages representing [[wikilinks]] in the post

     

       64
       64
       +
       * preference text field: file naming of social posts files, default `[YYYY-MM-DD-HH-SS.md]`

     

       65
       65
       +
       * preference text field: front matter settings

     

       66
       66
       +
         * skipped over above, so I'll go into a bit more depth here. These are all YAML keys:

     

       67
       67
       +
         * title: not included and blank by default

     

       68
       68
       +
         * link: link to source social post

     

       69
       69
       +
         * tags: blank by default; many users use tags to control display

     

       70
       70
       +
         * categories: blank by default, same as tags 

     

       71
       71
       +
         * date: dates are hard :P, pick some default timestamp format, probably in UTC

     

       72
       72

       A siphon isn't really cross posting, so the filtering options are different. We'll need to think through these options and how they interact with the core cross-posting filter options.

       TLDR; you can use Github Actions to build and publish your Jekyll site for free, which lets you do things like use arbitrary Jekyll plugins, as well as custom publishing end points like Fission.

       I used the [nicely commented limjh16/jekyll-action-ts](https://github.com/limjh16/jekyll-action-ts/blob/master/.github/workflows/workflow.yml) to power the [[Github Actions]] to build this [[Jekyll]] site.

       I didn't do anything special to make it work. Here's the code [bmann/bmcgarden](https://github.com/bmann/bmcgarden/blob/master/.github/workflows/jekyll-build.yml), with [[Fission Publish]] added at the end.

       You have a certain amount of minutes included with your [[Github]] account. Looking at the [timing for my workflows](https://github.com/bmann/bmcgarden/actions), they are about 4 - 6 minutes to build and publish the site. I pay for a personal Github Pro account ($4/month), but because this site is not a private repo, I guess I can use as many minutes as I want? I'm not seeing any indication that I am using up minutes.

     

       11
       11
       +
       

     

       12
       12
       +
       For private repos, the [billings page](https://github.com/settings/billing) says that 3000 minutes per month are included. That would be 3000 minutes / 6 minutes per build = 500 builds, So, I could publish up to 500 builds / 30 days per month = 16 builds per day.

     

       13

       14
       14
       +
       My site takes quite a long time to build because the [[Simply Jekyll]] theme which powers [[backlinks]] and various other features is all implemented at the theme layer. And, Jekyll is slow for large sites like mine.

       This paper proposes an open and collaborative system by which a community, or a single user, can create sets of rules and filters, called _Goggles_, to define the space which a search engine can pull results from. Instead of a single ranking algorithm, we could have as many as needed, overcoming the biases that a single actor (the search engine) embeds into the results. Transparency and openness, all desirable qualities, will become accessible through the deep re- ranking capabilities Goggles would enable. Such system would be made possible by the availability of a host search engine, providing the index and infrastructure, which are unlikely to be replicated without major development and infrastructure costs. Besides the system proposal and the definition of the _Goggle language_, we also provide an extensive evaluation of the performance to demonstrate the feasibility of the approach. Last but not the least, we commit the upcoming Brave search engine to this effort and encourage other search engine providers to join the proposal.

       Democracy dies in darkness, a line recently adopted by the Wash- ington Post as their slogan, warns us that unless people are informed with facts and truth, no true democracy is possible. Those who ben- efit from darkness have always tried to control media in order to control and manipulate public opinion with propaganda. Until re- cently, propaganda has been the exclusive domain of nation-states or state-sponsored actors through mass media [^19]. With the mass popularization of the Web in the last two decades and the subsequent privatization of it by big platforms like Google, YouTube and Facebook, the paradigm has changed. Propaganda is no longer a tool of an elite, but it has been commoditized to the extent that it is as accessible as advertisement, becoming a weapon that too many actors have access to. One must appreciate the irony that those most vocal about the risks of propaganda are those who controlled it in the past. Nevertheless, the risk of fake-news—a neologism created to mitigate cognitive dissonance—cannot be ignored [^5] [^6] [^30] [^33] [^36]. It is dangerous for a society if people living in it cannot distinguish between facts, opinions and outright misinformation. Although this danger has always existed, today the situation is dire if only because quantitative becomes qualitative and although all information is theoretically available, in practical terms it is not.

When someone new joins the company, they do what everyone else does: go into our Notion queue, pick a task, and get to work, asking for clarification when needed.

       Welcome to this feature usage tour. This is going to be another short post that describes how to use all the fancy features we saw in [[Exploring the features of Simply Jekyll]]. So without further ado, let's get started.

       All the default jekyll markdown features are made available such that they don't cause any conflict with the custom features that we have implemented. To see how to the raw markdown gets generated, go to the [[Test page to see how the raw markdown is rendered]]

       ### 1. Creating a wiki-style link

     

       15
       15
       +
       

     

       16

       **<u>General Syntax</u>**

     

       17
       17
       +
       

     

       18
       18
       +
       - **Internal links:** **[[**Some Link**]]**

     

       19
       19
       +
       

     

       20
       20
       +
       - **External links:** **[[**Some Text::https://address-to-the-website**]]**

     

       21
       21
       +
       

     

       22
       22
       +
       Anything text inside a double square bracket is considered as an internal link. The text has to be a valid title, if you provide a random text inside double square brackets, it will showup highlighted in yellow telling you that there is no essay/article/file with the mentioned title.

     

       23
       23
       +
       

     

       24
       24
       +
       Similarly, for external links all you have to do is add a double colon after the "Alt text" and enter the link to the website after the double colon as seen below.

     

       25
       25
       +
       

     

       26
       26
       +
       **Examples**

     

       27
       27
       +
       

     

       28
       28
       +
       Example of an internal link that points to a valid post or page, that is, a page with the title (not url) mentioned in the double brackets.

       Other common classes are `.boxit` that is used to wrap the text, `.disable-user-select` to disallow users from being able to select a particular piece of text by selecting it, etc. There are more classes like these which you can see in the file `style.css`. Once you figure out which class to use, all you have to do is just add the class before the text you want inside a curl brace like this {:\<classnames-with-dot-prepended-to-them>}

       Features like backlinks, context menu, related posts, page preview are available by default as they are implemented using CSS and JS. So, you don't have to do anything other than write as you would normally to make use of those features.

       When you typeout square brackets, it can be frustrating to type out the entire file title everytime. At least it was for me, so I created a small VSCode plugin, the editor in which I write my essays to autocomplete the titles as soon as I type double squarebrackets. It has been pretty handy for me, if you are interested in using VSCode or already use it, you can find it here: [[Notecomplete::https://github.com/raghuveerdotnet/scratchpad/tree/master/note-complete]]. It is pretty simple to use, all you have to do is just download the note-complete folder and copy it to .vscode directory in your OS to start using it. :)

       Abstract:

     

       69

       70
       70
       +
       New representations of thought — written language, mathematical notation, information graphics, etc — have been responsible for some of the most significant leaps in the progress of civilization, by expanding humanity’s collectively-thinkable territory.

     

       71
       71
       +
       

     

       72
       72
       +
       But at debilitating cost. These representations, having been invented for static media such as paper, tap into a small subset of human capabilities and neglect the rest. Knowledge work means sitting at a desk, interpreting and manipulating symbols. The human body is reduced to an eye staring at tiny rectangles and fingers on a pen or keyboard.

     

       73
       73
       +
       

     

       74
       74
       +
       Like any severely unbalanced way of living, this is crippling to mind and body. But it is also enormously wasteful of the vast human potential. Human beings naturally have many powerful modes of thinking and understanding. Most are incompatible with static media. In a culture that has contorted itself around the limitations of marks on paper, these modes are undeveloped, unrecognized, or scorned.

     

       75
       75
       +
       

     

       76
       76
       +
       We are now seeing the start of a dynamic medium. To a large extent, people today are using this medium merely to emulate and extend static representations from the era of paper, and to further constrain the ways in which the human body can interact with external representations of thought.

     

       77
       77
       +
       

     

       78
       78
       +
       But the dynamic medium offers the opportunity to deliberately invent a humane and empowering form of knowledge work. We can design dynamic representations which draw on the entire range of human capabilities — all senses, all forms of movement, all forms of understanding — instead of straining a few and atrophying the rest.

     

       79
       79
       +
       

     

       80
       80
       +
       This talk suggests how each of the human activities in which thought is externalized (conversing, presenting, reading, writing, etc) can be redesigned around such representations.

       With [[IndieKit]] I can publish posts of type 'Article' to this site. Since the Micropub 'Note' post type doesn't have a title, I can't use it as a note unless I'm OK with date-stamp-as-title notes.

       I currently use my Github account to login. More third-party services used to work (like Twitter), but don't anymore. I've been meaning to explore the private key support, but really, it's very specifically [PGP support](https://indieauth.com/pgp).

       [[Simply Jekyll]] is a highly functional jekyll-based theme that combines the best of different worlds (atleast tries to 😅). It is a minimal and distraction free theme that strives to provide maximum value all without holding back on any essential features that a user would benefit from or would desire for. This is an evolving project and is garanteed to be maintained at least for quite some time as I myself am a beneficiary of this theme and the project.

       8

       The theme provides a rich set of features that include:

     

       9
       9
       +
       - Wiki-style markdown syntax for both internal as well as external links.

     

       10
       10
       +
       - Support for [[backlinks]] and related posts to exhort serendipitous encounters.

     

       11
       11
       +
       - Feed-specific context menu for instantly accessing the related posts and references.

     

       12
       12
       +
       - Auto stale-link management for internal links.

     

       13
       13
       +
       - Custom syntax for sidenotes and marginnotes on either side of the feed/post.

     

       14
       14
       +
       - Support for partial [[transclusion]] of posts.

     

       15
       15
       +
       - On hover page preview.

     

       16
       16
       +
       - Custom classes to style phrasing elements like quotes, callouts, etc by mentioning size, font-types, weight, box etc.

     

       17
       17
       +
       - Preliminary support for flashcards.

     

       18
       18
       +
       - Custom syntax to highlight your favorite part of the post (No, I am not talking about code syntax highlighting, which is already provided by Jekyll through Rouge).

     

       19
       19
       +
       - Support for external link identifier through icons.

     

       20
       20
       +
       - Finally, the most important of them all --- No bloatware or frameworks!

     

       21
       21
       +
       

     

       22
       22
       +
       Plus everything else that you can already do with jekyll like write something on a bunch of markdown files and convert it into a HTML file or sprinkle in some inline html can still be done alongside these features.

       > I am a creative and entrepreneurial technologist with over 20 years of experience and a history of innovative ideas, well executed projects, and management of diverse teams. In 2007, I recognized the growing trend of independent and remote workers and opened Office Nomads, the first coworking space in Seattle, WA. To support this business and others like it, I wrote Nadine, the first open source coworking platform, and founded Open Coworking, a non-profit dedicated to the Coworking Movement. In 2016 I relocated to Vancouver, Canada to take on the role of Director of Technology for 312 Main, a 105,000 sf coworking community in the old Downtown Vancouver Police building.

       Business Source License (BSL) was created by David Axmark and Michael Widenius to provide a mutually beneficial balance between the user benefits of true Open Source software that is free of cost and provides open access to all of the product code for modification, distribution, etc., and the sustainability needs of software developers to continue delivering product innovation and maintenance.

     

       52
       52
       +
       

     

       53
       53
       +
       The BSL is structured to allow free and open usage for the majority of use cases, and only requires a commercial license by those who use the software above a certain threshold, which is typically indicative of an environment that is delivering significant value to a business.

     

       54
       54
       +
       

     

       55
       55
       +
       BSL gives users complete access to the source code so users can modify, distribute and enhance it. It also guarantees a path for the software to become Open Source over time so that users will never be locked into a single vendor. These features help preserve the critical freedom aspects of Open Source (as defined by the Open Source Initiative in the Open Source Definition https://opensource.org/osd-annotated) while enabling a viable business model for professional software developers.

       This FAQ is designed to address questions for any developer, or any company, interested in working on BSL software or adopting BSL for their own business.

       > BSL is a new alternative to Closed Source or Open Core licensing models. Under BSL, the source code is freely available from the start and it is guaranteed to become Open Source at a certain point in time (i.e., the Change Date). Usage below a specific level in the BSL is always completely free. Usage above the specified level requires a license from the vendor until the Change Date, at which point all usage becomes free.

       > To create a license that strikes a balance between being able to run a financially viable software company while still supporting the original tenets of Open Source, such as empowering all software developers to be part of the innovation cycle – giving them open access to the code so they can modify or distribute the software by making the entire source code available from the start. Ultimately, we hope that BSL will create more Open Source software.

       I bought a Mac Mini[^macmini2018] at the [beginning of October 2020]({% link _logs/2020-10-03-journal.md %}). I got the higher end model and bumped the processor to the **3.2GHz 6‑core 8th‑generation Intel Core i7**, but everything else base -- 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD.

       [^macmini2018]: This is known as the Mac Mini (2018) edition. The [Apple Mac Mini page](https://www.apple.com/mac-mini/) now lists the new Mac Mini with the [[Apple M1]] ARM chip.

       I have often used Norse Mythology as a naming scheme for computers, although I'm also currently using a Pokemon theme for portable devices. This current Mac Mini is named _Utgard_.[^utgard]

       17

       +
       * 32GB of RAM [ordered from OWC](https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/2666DDR4S32P/); the saga of the screwdrivers means that I didn't complete installation until [Feb 2021](https://blog.bmannconsulting.com/2021/02/09/i-bought-this.html)

     

       18

       * Logitech M535 Bluetooth mouse

     

       21
       21
       +
       * HyperX membrane keyboard: quieter, full size, and permanently wired, so my [[Royal Kludge]] becomes my wireless / portable keyboard. Don't worry, it still has rainbow backlighting!

     

       22
       22
       +
       * 2TB NVMe drive in an external enclosure, [researched originally Nov 14th, 2020]({% link _logs/2020-11-14-journal.md %}), purchased and installed [Nov 24th, 2020]({% link _logs/2020-11-24-journal.md %})

       * OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dock with 2x 2TB SSD drives (installed [[February 9th, 2021]]); the fan is very loud, so unplugged for now?

     

       24
       24
       +
       * Webcam, [detailed Nov 7th, 2020, along with eGPU purchase]({% link _logs/2020-11-07-journal.md %})

     

       25
       25

       * Yeti Blue USB Microphone, which I also plug my Sennheiser Headset into

       * Wired headphones and digital amp

     

       30
       30
       +
       * Wrist rest? I have to get the position / height of my hands, the desk, and keyboard set correctly

     

       31
       31
       +
       * Kneeling chair? The office chair is pretty good, but I'm spending a LOT of time in this room

       ## To Do

     

       11
       11
       +
       

     

       12
       12
       +
       Home page has avatar and "follow on Mb" links. Change to ???

     

       13
       13
       +
       

     

       14
       14
       +
       No pagination on Photos page. Remove and replace with a new / different photos layout.

     

       15
       15
       +
       

     

       16
       16
       +
       Error on bio page (linked to avatar). Need to include new partial.

     

       17
       17
       +
       

     

       18
       18
       +
       Custom 404 page, need to add `not_found.html`

     

       19
       19
       +
       

     

       20
       20
       +
       ## [[WIP]]

     

       21
       21
       +
       

     

       22
       22
       +
       Copied [yearly grouping](https://github.com/jnjosh/internet-weblog/blob/master/layouts/partials/yearly_grouping.html) across from `internet-weblog` theme into the marfa theme. Live example on the authors blog: <https://jnjosh.com/posts/>. Copied `list.archivehtml.html` and `list.photoshtml.html` across from the `theme-blank` default Mb theme. Figuring out how these all fit together, how do I get Hugo to locally create this archive page? Just make an `/archive` folder?

     

       23
       23
       +
       

     

       24
       24
       +
       ## Done

     

       25
       25
       +
       

     

       26
       26
       +
       Added tags to the `#post-meta` section at the bottom of `single.html`. Messed around with CSS styling to make button-style tag links with an arrow in front.

     

       27
       27
       +
       

     

       28
       28
       +
       Post pages have avatar and microblog at the bottom. Removed this section entirely.

     

       29
       29
       +
       

     

       30
       30
       +
       The "Call to Action" (CTA) on single posts in the upper right hand corner points to Mb -- point it at bmannconsulting for now.

     

       31
       31
       +
       

     

       32
       32
       +
       Footer link to Mb, point it at bmannconsulting for now.

     

       33
       33
       +
       

     

       34
       34
       +
       Moved custom footer partial inside the **actual** footer, rather than just blank text at the end of the page.

     

       35
       35
       +
       

     

       36
       36
       +
       Looking at [internet-weblog theme](https://github.com/jnjosh/internet-weblog) for ideas, adding categories to posts.

       Mastodon is an open source federated micro-blogging platform.

       The Mastodon documentation site https://docs.joinmastodon.org/ covers what a microblog and federation are:

     

       12
       12
       +
       > Similar to how blogging is the act of publishing updates to a website, microblogging is the act of publishing small updates to a stream of updates on your profile. You can publish text posts and optionally attach media such as pictures, audio, video, or polls. Mastodon lets you follow friends and discover new ones.

       > 

     

       14
       14
       +
       > Federation is a form of decentralization. Instead of a single central service that all people use, there are multiple services, that any number of people can use.

       > I'm working on Mastodon, a free, open-source social network server based on open web protocols like ActivityPub and OStatus. The social focus of the project is a viable decentralized alternative to commercial social media silos that returns the control of the content distribution channels to the people. The technical focus of the project is a good user interface, a clean REST API for 3rd party apps and robust anti-abuse tools.

       > The entire network is like an unlimited number of different Twitter websites, users of which can follow each other and interact regardless of which Twitter website exactly they are on. This has obvious benefits as there is no single company that has a monopoly.

       ## Micro.blog Sidebar

     

       24
       24
       +
       

     

       25
       25
       +
       The help article explains that you can [embed your microblog feed into other sites using sidebar.js](https://help.micro.blog/2016/sidebar-js/).

     

       26
       26
       +
       

     

       27
       27
       +
       The nice thing about this is that your feed automatically includes the posts you make to your blog, but you can also add third party feeds. This means Micro.blog can be your own aggregator, rather than having to merge feeds somewhere else.

     

       28
       28
       +
       

     

       29
       29
       +
       Unfortunately, there is no permalink included for these posts, so they are much less useful. This is generated as HTML -- which is great, because it can just be output. But, without linking back to the original, I'm not sure that it makes a lot of sense? It would mean that Mb needs to know / store the permalink or source of each feed item. I _think_ [[JSON Feed]] that you include would have this?

       ### Feature Request: include permalinks in sidebar.js

     

       32
       32
       +
       

     

       33
       33
       +
       For each feed item in sidebar.js, wrap the date or a separate small `#` (or the title for posts with titles?) in a permalink that points to the source item.

     

       34
       34
       +
       

     

       35
       35
       +
       Optionally, consider linking to the micro.blog post itself OR the source item, as an option.

     

       36
       36
       +
       

     

       37
       37
       +
       This means that when your micro blog feed is embedded, people can actually follow the link to see where it came from. As it is, it's just a chunk of HTML, and there is no way for the user to easily get the permalinks.

     

       38
       38
       +
       

     

       39
       39

       I'm embedding my own [boris feed](https://micro.blog/boris) below so I can point to it as an example:

       * **Helping the web.** We are here to empower people to develop independent, creative sites.

       25
       +
       * **Free.** We will always have a free web site option.

     

       26
       26
       +
       * **Open source.** Neocities believes in open source, and we share code back with the community.

     

       27
       27
       +
       * **Not an advertising company.** We'll never put ads or watermarks on sites, and we don't sell your data to marketers.

     

       28
       28
       +
       * **Anti lock-in.** Easy site downloading, and support for custom domains.

     

       29
       29
       +
       * **Sustainable.** We want to grow, but that growth cannot risk the site (or compromise our principles).

       > Not a product per-se, but from the discussion, the prototype seems interesting. It is an attempt to create a densely connected Digital Garden. ([[The term digital garden has become a popular term for describing websites that incorporate multiple facets of a person’s digital space like notes, blog etc into a single thing::highlight]] and allows visitors to stroll through them seamlessly like a garden with densely connected graph like structure. [This article](https://nesslabs.com/mind-garden) from [[Anne-Laure Le Cunff]] has an excellent explanation of it).

This would allow you to instantly take notes without having to switch context. Even better yet, the notes would automatically resurface whenever you revisit the digital location you left them at.

You can think of an IDE as a powerful frontend that tries to understand your code, such as where are functions and variables stored, what are their types, and by doing so make it super easy to navigate code and get suggestions as you type.

       The Overton window is the range of policies politically acceptable to the mainstream population at a given time. It is also known as the window of discourse.

       The term is named after Joseph P. Overton, who stated that an idea's political viability depends mainly on whether it falls within this range, rather than on politicians' individual preferences. According to Overton, the window frames the range of policies that a politician can recommend without appearing too extreme to gain or keep public office given the climate of public opinion at that time.

       The most current example I have of the Overton Window in action is Berlin passing a 5 year rent freeze law. Berlin's rental prices have been going up dramatically. And, there are more and more private housing owners.

       +
       But, it so happens that the German constitution still has terms in it about the government being able to appropriate privately held housing from any entity that owns 200 or more units. Activists in Berlin starting talking about this law and suggesting its use. Where before private interests were against any sort of rent freeze, a 5 year rent freeze was agreed to, when faced with the much more "radical" option of having the housing appropriated. So, the activists "shifted the Overton Window".

       The concept of Pioneers, Settlers, and Town Planners is something that I share with many people in thinking about their organizations. I learned it from Simon Wardley in the linked article, and have been sharing it ever since.

       * **Acquisition**: this is initial sign up. You might want to say this is email sign up and verification – that someone came in, waited for a verification link, and then came back.

       * **Activation**: this should be doing at least one core action of your product. eg. for a music streaming service, maybe it’s listen to one song. This is the one I like to be very strict about – so that an “activated” user really has engaged with your product.

     

       12
       12
       +
       * **Retention**: different products have different retention period. For an accounting or finance app, I might login and review one transaction per month. For others, it might be a daily action. So something like "We will consider a user retained if they (do some core thing) Y times over (X days/weeks/months). Otherwise, consider them to have “churned” and they need to be re-activated.

     

       13
       13
       +
       * **Referral**: do users care enough about your product to share it with others? This shouldn’t really be something like “invite your team” if having team mates is a core usage – that would be activation or retention. People are excitedly telling others that your product rocks.

     

       14
       14
       +
       * **Revenue**: your customer is paying you!

       The main goal is to summarize as much of your target market and product / company in a way that helps investors decide whether or not you are "investable".

       All "pitches" are conversations -- anything you do on stage, live, is performance, not directly to make an investment decision. So, maybe we should call these "investment decks" rather than "pitch decks".

       As explained to me by [Brendan Baker](https://twitter.com/brendanbaker), you're going to meet three types of investors:

       1. Those who already obsess over your sector or problem, and are actively looking for companies tackling this area. You will immediately dive deep into discussion and appendix and the future. Use _some_ jargon or insider talk to signal you're on their level.

     

       20
       20
       +
       2. The "average" investor who maybe knows a little about your sector or problem space. You're going to explain the basics of how your customers / product work on what will seem a very basic level to you, but sets up a framework so they can go away feeling they've learned something, and that your later conclusions and insights make sense.

     

       21
       21
       +
       3. The investor who doesn't really invest in your sector / stage / problem space. You failed at pre-qualifying to even be in this meeting. At best, be memorable, educate them about your space, and maybe they'll mention you to someone who is in the other two categories.

       I previously wrote about using an app called The Archivist for iOS photo backups. I’ve also used [[Dropshare]] in the past. Neither are working for me at the moment, and this paid app with a 1-Star rating is actually very good and simple for the task of uploading and downloading files to your [[AmazonS3]] buckets. [[Recommended]]!

       The concept of wikis goes back to an earlier era of the web. With the advent of blogging (and I would say, RSS feeds to subscribe and follow content from all over), wikis went away for a while.

       Wikis probably also get a bad rap from their early incarnation inside company intranets. Aside from a bad editing interface, bad search is the big thing that kills company intranets of all kinds. More on the [[Wiki]] page.

       From reading content online, bookmarking it, keeping notes from online research or in person meetings, I've long wanted a way to introspect across all that content.

     

       18

       +
       

     

       19
       19
       +
       That is, rather than just using my limited human framework for digital information processing, how do I get more value from it?

       21
       21
       +
       As a example, during a day, a week, or a month, how could I run through all the content that I've found interesting, created, or saved, and run it through a simple relevance or inference tool that would show the content as clusters of information / concepts, and how they inter-related?

       Today, in 2020, such a tool is almost "consumer grade", other than the fact that it's not very "consumer accessible". I'd have to commit to some out-sourced repository, and put it all in there.

       The [[Jobs to be done]], or JTBD, concept comes from product management. What "jobs" are you hiring a product to do for you?

       ### Bookmarking

     

       34

       35
       35
       +
       Today, with very good search, why do we bookmark? I think a collection of easy access links in your browser toolbar to apps that you use is great -- but that's not really bookmarking.

     

       36
       36
       +
       

     

       37
       37
       +
       I want to document and keep links to apps and tools that I research, use, and/or recommend, in order to find it again later, review if anything has changed, and to share it with other people.

     

       38
       38
       +
       

     

       39
       39
       +
       I want to document articles. Maybe it's keeping a copy of something insightful, especially quoting relevant parts. Yes, like Roam helps to do, to capture these relevant parts. Here's an example of [saving and quoting 'When Tailwinds Vanish']({% link _notes/tailwinds-vanish.md %}). I haven't social shared this anywhere, but have mentioned, shared privately, and discussed it in person with multiple people. Clearly something I should keep around.

     

       40
       40
       +
       

     

       41
       41
       +
       Basically, if I'm going to share an article with someone, I should "keep" a copy, same as with recommending an app / tool / person.

     

       42
       42
       +
       

     

       43
       43
       +
       For now, I'm highlighting some of them on the home page.

     

       44
       44
       +
       

     

       45
       45
       +
       _Sharing_ an article is more likely to be done through a [social share on my blog](https://microblog.bmannconsulting.com), which in turn gets cross posted to Twitter.[^1]

     

       46

       47
       47

       [^1]: for search purposes, should have all the content on my blog accessible here as well and/or available for transclusion (which is really just the case that generalized transclusion from a URI is extremely useful)

       ### Worklog

     

       50

       +
       

     

       51
       51
       +
       I have used various tools over the years to keep a worklog. [^worklog]

     

       52
       52
       +
       

     

       53
       53
       +
       Roam Research has "Daily Notes" by default, which is really effective in getting the context for a particular day down.

     

       54
       54
       +
       

     

       55
       55
       +
       I'm currently creating a new worklog (weeklog!) per week, with headers per day. These are running notes, links, and a log of what I'm going / what my TODOs are. 

     

       56
       56
       +
       

     

       57
       57
       +
       These logs can be super helpful when you get to the end of a day or week and feel "what the hell did I do??" and you can, indeed, look back and see what you did and accomplished.

     

       58
       58
       +
       

     

       59
       59
       +
       This bottom up method of what am I doing / need to do this week, and a log of what I did, is useful in sharing progress with a team.

     

       60
       60
       +
       

     

       61
       61
       +
       Of course, if you are using a team project management tool / process of some kind, then that "lives" over there, separate from your personal worklog. The main solution is making sure that you can link to those team TODOs. You are either making a private note to remember to make a task, or you are linking to a team task as part of noting in your worklog that that's what you worked on.

     

       62
       62
       +
       

     

       63
       63
       +
       [^worklog]: really feeling the need for "blocks" from TiddlyWiki or Roam. Making you go read a whole [[Worklog]] article rather than just transcluding it here is painful.

     

       64
       64
       +
       

     

       65
       65
       +
       ### Notes

     

       66
       66
       +
       

     

       67
       67
       +
       Taking notes is really "I want to put this somewhere private as notes to myself". 

     

       68
       68
       +
       

     

       69
       69
       +
       There's a HOWTO version of this when I'm taking notes as I attempt to program or install software. I note down errors, add links to pages where I found the answer to something. This might then also lead to searches that end in [[Tips]] -- how do I add a [[Unix]] user? What's the [[Git]] command I need to use again?

     

       70

       ### To Do

     

       72

       +
       

     

       73
       73
       +
       "Personal" to-do's in the sense that they are private to me. They may be for work, personal projects, or internal family items.

     

       74
       74
       +
       

     

       75
       75
       +
       ### Recommendations

     

       76
       76
       +
       

     

       77
       77
       +
       As mentioned above, I've got a variety of recommendations. This usually comes from someone asking "what do you use for X?", or it will come from personal research of figuring out what I should use. My [[Personal CRM]] post is a good example of this in blog post form.

     

       78
       78
       +
       

     

       79
       79
       +
       The [[Startup]] page just got a categorized brain dump of a whole bunch of different categories. Some of them are people / service provider recommendations, like using Justin at Osler as a startup lawyer, or Mike at Sprout Accounting for company accounting.

       ### Search

       There is a [seminal Algolia internal search article]({% link _notes/algolia-electron-internal.md %})[^algolia] that I refer to as the ultimate in company wide knowledge search interfaces, and it's pretty much what I want as well. I just tagged that article with [[memex]] for what I'll use for that shorthand from now on: all my information available and searchable / browseable at the point of looking for something.

       It's one of the reasons that I publish a lot of things publicly online. Future me has a chance of finding it again by doing `site:bmannconsulting.com some-search-term` to see if I've talked about it before.

       But, that approach to search means you inherit the bias and algorithmic of search engines who aren't your friends. We need to have our own search, and again, great search is now becoming "consumer grade".

       [^algolia]: Well, I just spent like 10 minutes trying to find that article, which pretty much proves that I need to be storing articles I find impactful. It was on their Medium blog, which they don't index in their company home page "Blog" search :)

       We look at something like a tag cloud that any one person creates. A tag cloud is fairly useless for browsing or search long term, but it's an interesting artifact which can help highlight or discover themes that grow and shrink over time.

       For a conference -- or really any kind of event -- there is a "digital exhaust" of content around it, from tweets to checkins to bookmarks, to the in turn likes and re-shares of those items.

       Code blocks are part of the Markdown spec, but syntax highlighting isn't. However, many renderers -- like Github's and Markdown Here -- support syntax highlighting. Which languages are supported and how those language names should be written will vary from renderer to renderer. Markdown Here supports highlighting for dozens of languages (and not-really-languages, like diffs and HTTP headers);

       198

       Blocks of code are either fenced by lines with three back-ticks ```, or are indented with four spaces. I recommend only using the fenced code blocks -- they're easier and only they support syntax highlighting.

       ### Math expressions

       238
       238
       +
       You can write math expressions using the $$\LateX$$ [markup language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaTeX) between double dollar signs : \$$...$$. They can be written inline or as a single block.

     

       239

       +
       

     

       240
       240
       +
       For example,

     

       241
       241
       +
       

     

       242
       242
       +
       \$$P(A|B) = \frac{P(B | A)\cdot P(A)}{P(B)}$$ will render as :

     

       243
       243
       +
       

     

       244
       244
       +
       $$P(A|B) = \frac{P(B | A)\cdot P(A)}{P(B)}$$

     

       245
       245
       +
       

     

       246
       246
       +
       Please note that for a math block to be displayed correctly, it needs to be separated by an empty line, above and below. Besides, the pipe character | may conflict with markdown : it is recommended to use \vert instead.

       Tables aren't part of the core Markdown spec, but they are part of GFM and Markdown Here supports them. They are an easy way of adding tables to your email -- a task that would otherwise require copy-pasting from another application.

       My basic recommendation for learning how line breaks work is to experiment and discover -- hit <Enter> once (i.e., insert one newline), then hit it twice (i.e., insert two newlines), see what happens. You'll soon learn to get what you want. "Markdown Toggle" is your friend.

       Right now, it's just my fork of the [[Simply Jekyll]] theme [[bmann/simply-jekyll::https://github.com/bmann/simply-jekyll/]].

       I've done an initial setup of [[Forestry]] with it, and have it building to [[Netlify]]. My plan is to turn it into a Github template repository[^ghtemplate], to make it very simple for people to run.

       The theme itself is a bit too complicated and custom, so consider this an experiment.

       After talking to @Flancian, reworking this template -- and renaming it -- so that it can be made to simply connect to [[Anagora]] could be something to work on.

       [^ghtemplate]: Github's [docs on template repos](https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/github/creating-cloning-and-archiving-repositories/creating-a-template-repository) aren't great. It's to make a copy without forking that is ready to go right away. It means the git repo is completely separate, so updates may be a problem, but you can do many more one-click things with it since it is a completely separate repo.

       I have a "yes" from one business, and just need to ask another if they want to participate. I have a couple of people in mind to be peers. Still thinking about whether to connect this into [[Venture Scouts]] or not. Feels like it would be a fit.

       +
       What has planetary-scale computation done to our geopolitical realities? It takes different forms at different scales—from energy and mineral sourcing and subterranean cloud infrastructure to urban software and massive universal addressing systems; from interfaces drawn by the augmentation of the hand and eye to users identified by self—quantification and the arrival of legions of sensors, algorithms, and robots. Together, how do these distort and deform modern political geographies and produce new territories in their own image?

     

       16

       17
       17
       +
       In The Stack, Benjamin Bratton proposes that these different genres of computation—smart grids, cloud platforms, mobile apps, smart cities, the Internet of Things, automation—can be seen not as so many species evolving on their own, but as forming a coherent whole: an accidental megastructure called The Stack that is both a computational apparatus and a new governing architecture. We are inside The Stack and it is inside of us.

       18
       +
       

     

       19
       19
       +
       In an account that is both theoretical and technical, drawing on political philosophy, architectural theory, and software studies, Bratton explores six layers of The Stack: Earth, Cloud, City, Address, Interface, User. Each is mapped on its own terms and understood as a component within the larger whole built from hard and soft systems intermingling—not only computational forms but also social, human, and physical forces. This model, informed by the logic of the multilayered structure of protocol “stacks,” in which network technologies operate within a modular and vertical order, offers a comprehensive image of our emerging infrastructure and a platform for its ongoing reinvention.

       21
       21
       +
       The Stack is an interdisciplinary design brief for a new geopolitics that works with and for planetary-scale computation. Interweaving the continental, urban, and perceptual scales, it shows how we can better build, dwell within, communicate with, and govern our worlds.

       The [[Embassy Network]] calls their Slack "An Accidental Megastructure", based on this book, and here is their summary:

     

       26

       27

       +
       This is a reference to the amazing and verbose book “The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty”

     

       28
       28
       +
       

     

       29
       29
       +
       The thesis of this tome is that today’s computing systems comprise a kind of global megastructure (‘the Stack’). The Stack is comprised of at least six layers or tiers: Earth, Cloud, City, Address, Interface, User.

       As some generous soul summarizes for us:

     

       32
       32
       +
       * Earth entails the material and energy-harnessing geological demands of computing;

     

       33
       33
       +
       * Cloud names the weird sovereignty of corporatized, global technology services like Google;

     

       34
       34
       +
       * City addresses the lived experience of cloud-computerized daily life;

     

       35
       35
       +
       * Address deals with identification as a form of management and control;

     

       36
       36
       +
       * Interface with coupling users to computers;

     

       37
       37
       +
       * User with the human and nonhuman agents that interact with computational machines.

       > Bratton’s [the author] fundamental claim is that the Stack is replacing other forms of governance and sovereignty—and with great political consequence.

       The Stack is an accidental megastructure.  It is both a technological apparatus and a model for a new geopolitical architecture that challenges traditional ideas of nation-state centered sovereignty and develops a theory of geopolitics that accounts for sovereignty in terms of planetary-scale computation at various scales.

     

       42
       42
       +
       

     

       43
       43
       +
       Its two core arguments are that planetary-scale computation “distorts and deforms traditional Westphalian logics of political geography” and creates new territories in its own image, and that different scales of computing technology can be understood as forming an “accidental megastructure” that resembles a multi-layer network architecture stack, what Bratton calls “The Stack".

       There was a quote that I found this morning to share in this post, and then immediately lost but it was along the lines of: _Geographical borders are come undone. Now algorithms define & separate continents._

       **"Startup"** is this weird phrase that means lots of different things. For me, one of the things that it means is really internalizing a couple of different concepts.

     

       7
       7
       +
       

     

       8
       8
       +
       One is the [[Lean Startup]], which has lots of baggage associated with it today, but at its core there is the **Build - Measure - Learn** loop.

     

       9
       9
       +
       

     

       10
       10
       +
       You start with a hypothesis (another key concept), like "adding an ecommerce channel will lead to more sales", and then you **build** the minimal version of that that you can, **measure** the results, and **learn** from that.

     

       11
       11
       +
       

     

       12
       12
       +
       Did you make a Return on Investment (ROI) of your time / money / interest? Does it look promising, but you need to build a more complete store or have a person dedicated to running it? Did you learn that you don't enjoy the process of figuring out an ecommerce app and online marketing, but want to have someone else do it as part of your business?

     

       13
       13
       +
       

     

       14
       14
       +
       I also associate efficiency with my version of startup. This efficiency can come from:

     

       15
       15
       +
       1. "operationalizing" or "productizing" parts of your business so that you understand what runs your business, what the steps are, and how you might apply the next two concepts

     

       16
       16
       +
       2. using digital workflows and automation

     

       17
       17
       +
       3. outsourcing parts of your business / workflows so people can focus on what they like to do, are good at, or simply make more money by working on their core

       I'm going to write down some thoughts and definitions on kinds of businesses below.

     

       22

       +
       

     

       23

       ## Venture Startup

     

       24
       24
       +
       

     

       25
       25
       +
       A venture startup is a business that can grow (or "scale") to a very large revenue over time. The classic number is, can your business get to $100M in annual revenue in 5 years?

     

       26
       26
       +
       

     

       27
       27
       +
       The other line you'll hear a lot at the beginning of a venture startup is "do things that don't scale".

     

       28
       28
       +
       

     

       29
       29
       +
       You don't know what the most valuable parts of the business will be, so you are optimizing for learning and insights from your customers rather than efficiency.

     

       30

       ## Bootstrapped

     

       32
       32
       +
       

     

       33
       33
       +
       The term "bootstrapping" refers to not taking outside investment to get started. This usually means the person starting the company has personal savings to cover cost of living for themselves, and the ability to invest in what is needed to start a business.

     

       34
       34
       +
       

     

       35
       35
       +
       There is a certain amount of antagonism and disdain from "bootstrappers" for those companies that take investment. But, at a certain point, if you know that $1 into the business can make $1.25, then taking investment can be one way to really grow the business.

     

       36
       36
       +
       

     

       37
       37
       +
       There are a number of emerging forms of capital investment now available, such as IndieVC style investments or revenue financing, that can really work for "bootstrap" businesses.

     

       38
       38
       +
       

     

       39
       39
       +
       This category has grown a lot larger lately, because many forms of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) businesses can be run by a much smaller number of people -- eg a single founder, or a small 2-3 person team -- and thus don't need outside investment to grow to be quite profitable.

     

       40
       40
       +
       

     

       41
       41
       +
       SaaS is called out particularly, as a "scalable" business model where you can sell recurring software subscriptions on a monthly or yearly basis, rather than constantly finding new customers.

     

       42

       Let's say you have a team of 3 people, and you initially want to make $80K each in annual salary, which would be $240K. We'll add a healthy buffer of operations, expenses, and overhead of $60K annually, so that's $300K in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)

     

       46
       46
       +
       

     

       47
       47
       +
       That would mean you're aiming for $25K Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR):

     

       48

       +
       * With $100 monthly plans, you need **250** paying customers

     

       50
       50
       +
       * With $25 monthly plans, you need **1000** paying customers

     

       51
       51
       +
       

     

       52
       52
       +
       Of course, you could start by earning half as much, cut your expenses in half, and with $100 plans you'd only need 125 paying customers, which seems achievable.

     

       53
       53
       +
       

     

       54
       54
       +
       As well, growing this business to add more paying customers doesn't incur dramatically more costs, so we say it's "scalable".

     

       55

       ## Small Business

     

       57
       57
       +
       

     

       58
       58
       +
       The small business we usually think of is usually a physical store with only one location, in a local area.

     

       59
       59
       +
       

     

       60
       60
       +
       Mostly, it also means that the business can't grow without adding more people. It uses a lot of people time, so can't grow without adding more people, and each person needs to get paid.

     

       61
       61
       +
       

     

       62
       62
       +
       So, it doesn't "scale" as well as businesses that can have form of non-people-hour-based revenue, especially if it is recurring.

     

       63
       63
       +
       

     

       64
       64
       +
       Consulting companies of all kinds, whether a software development shop or an accountant, are usually small businesses. They can still look to "productize" their business, to not just sell hours, but to sell value, and to optimize how they build what they sell.

     

       65
       65
       +
       

     

       66
       66
       +
       A software development shop might have a flat rate prototype that they get better and building and following the same process, so over time it takes them less hours to deliver a higher quality output.

     

       67
       67
       +
       

     

       68
       68
       +
       A software development shop might sell hosting, maintenance, or support hours on retainer over time, meaning steady, recurring cash flow that can be delivered in a more standard way, often with more junior staff, so it's less expensive for them to provide the service.

     

       69
       69
       +
       

     

       70
       70
       +
       An accountant might sell a monthly or annual package that includes everything that you need, again using efficiency and optimization to deliver accounting and book-keeping services at scale.

     

       71
       71
       +
       

     

       72
       72
       +
       Outside of more digital or knowledge based areas, subscription boxes or memberships can work for all kinds of businesses.

       I say over time as well, because changes in the business -- either a growth in the size of the business, adding more people, or trying out new ideas -- will need new things to get started.

       Having a Paypal business account is generally useful, as you can then link it to your bank account and pay some recurring or one-time bills through there. Especially useful if you have a low limit on your business credit card, as is often the case with startups in Canada (e.g. I currently have $5000CAD limit shared across two founder cards).

       Anything with a link field. Mostly comes in two flavours. One is a kind of bookmark, that links to an app, or open source tool, or a website that I want to keep track of and perhaps write a few things about. The second is an Article, where I take notes and quote pieces of it that I find interesting. The [Links](/links/) page shows both kinds.

       Substack is a publishing and paid subscription platform. It is most often thought of for newsletters, but it's more of a combination newsletter + blogging platform.

       My personal recommendation if you're going to use Substack, is to use it with a custom domain. Then, all the links going to your content are portable should you switch platforms later.

For the first time in Internet history, startup growth will require a push from the company and not a pull from the market. Unlike the organic pull that drove many of the dotcom-era successes, today’s Internet startups need to fight for growth by investing more heavily into sales, marketing, and operations.

       > Software companies founded today are competing less with pen and paper than with other Internet-first incumbents.

As a corollary, the time between founding years of software startups and their competitive incumbents is shrinking:

       There isn't a directory of local artists and other makers in [[Vancouver]].

       +

       Ideally, this would have a number of goals:

       +
       

     

       9

       10
       10
       +
       * increase sales to those makers

     

       11
       11
       +
       * connect local supply chains

       ## What goods are made in Vancouver?

     

       14

       15
       15

       This is sort of the main question, perhaps connected to "Can I buy X in Vancouver?".

       ## Shopify Site, Monthly Specials

     

       18

       +
       

     

       19
       19
       +
       An idea is to build a Shopify site that lists makers.

     

       20
       20
       +
       

     

       21
       21
       +
       Users can browse makers and go directly to their site. Can also subscribe to a mailing list with monthly specials.

     

       22
       22
       +
       

     

       23
       23
       +
       Every month, makers submit a limited availability special -- either limited in price or actual special edition. This gets sent to the mailing list with a 24 hour head start, then shared publicly.

     

       24
       24
       +
       

     

       25
       25
       +
       Ideally this is done in such a way that orders are fulfilled directly by makers.

     

       26
       26
       +
       

     

       27
       27
       +
       Get makers to just set up special on their own site? If so, wouldn't need Shopify.

     

       28
       28
       +
       

     

       29
       29
       +
       ### Is Shopify the right thing to make / maintain such a list?

     

       30
       30
       +
       

     

       31
       31
       +
       Need to research plugins for letting people update / submit their own entries.

       > In the beginning of the 1990s, the Internet had not yet been commercialized, and most of its users were academic. On-line discussion was disciplined and civilized (at least compared to the later standards) – except in Septembers. Every September, academic institutions got new students who took some time to adopt the new technology and the related rules of behavior.

       > In 1993, however, it started to be easier to access the Internet from outside the academic world. In the United States, America Online granted its user the access to the Usenet newsgroups in September 1993, and this was also the year when teenager-accessible service providers like Sci.fi and Freenet Finland were established in my country. Non-academic on-line behavior became an everyday phenomenon; September 1993 never ended.

The algorithms could give good scores to the kind of content that speaks to many kinds of people across bubble borders. There could also be non-hurried discussion forums that would make the new messages visible only once per day, for instance. This would be a kind of environment maybe even worthy for politics.

       10
       10
       +
       Follow the MacOS instructions. Assuming you have [ChromeBrew](/chromebook/chromebrew) installed, get ```virtualenv``` setup:

       12

       crew install virtualenv

     

       14

       +
       

     

       16
       16
       +
       Follow instructions for virtualenv setup:

     

       17

       19
       19
       +
       sudo apt install virtualenv

     

       20
       20
       +
       virtualenv -p python3.6 --no-site-packages ~/vyper-venv

     

       21
       21
       +
       source ~/vyper-venv/bin/activate

     

       22

       +
       ```

     

       23
       23
       +
       

     

       24
       24
       +
       Then follow installation:

     

       25
       25
       +
       

     

       26
       26
       +
       ```

     

       27
       27
       +
       git clone https://github.com/ethereum/vyper.git

     

       28
       28
       +
       cd vyper

     

       29
       29
       +
       make

     

       30
       30
       +
       make test

     

       31
       31
       +
       ```

     

       32
       32
       +
       

     

       33
       33

       These tests take a long time, and are not required.

       > This is the story of my journey, from a bumbling and confused CEO lost in the headlights of change to having a vague idea of what I was doing. I say vague because I’m not going to make grand claims to the techniques that I discuss in this book. It is enough to say that I have found them useful over the last decade whether in finding opportunity, removing waste, helping to organise a team of people or determining the strategy for a company. Will they help you? That depends upon the context that you’re operating in but since the techniques don’t take long to learn then I’ll leave it up to the reader to discover whether they are helpful to them or not. **Remember, all models are wrong but some are useful.**

       - Zim Wiki - Bazaar, Git, Mercurial, or Fossil backing stores - personal desktop (fat client) rather than group web-app. v cool.

     

       49
       49
       +
       - Fossil’s Wiki - Fossil is a VCS itelf and has a built-in wiki.

       Has this to say about WikiJS:

     

       57
       57
       +
       

     

       58
       58
       +
       > Can be linked to a Git repo and do round trip, but the database is the main DB, with sync to/from Git being done at intervals via single committer ID. That said, it is “Docker ready” using NodeJS and is actively maintained.

     

       59
       59
       +
       

     

       60
       60
       +
       Which is not quite true. The DB is essentially a cache. The single committer is true.

       64

       - [[Gollum]] -- not really setup for differential access without runing a whole SSO server

     

       65
       65
       +
       - [[Realms]] -- domain is dead, last code update 2018

     

       66
       66
       +
       - [[DokuWiki]] -- git backed plugin is 5 years last update https://github.com/woolfg/dokuwiki-plugin-gitbacked, still might be worth trying

     

       67
       67
       +
       - [[Jingo]] -- https://github.com/claudioc/jingo -- worth checking, although very basic auth

       75
       75
       +
       Some way to indicate that a page doesn't exist yet, so that you can come back and create it. `[[Double Square Brackets]]` might get used, or really, just single `[square brackets]` which might be more native 

     

       76
       76
       +
       

     

       77
       77
       +
       Also, a global list of linked-to-but-not-created pages. I don't know what the common term for this is.

       87
       87
       +
       Count and store all of the external links. Have a page that shows all of the external links, how many times they are linked from a page

       You can make checkmark lists, but you have to go into full edit mode to "check them off". Either a separate permission, or just link it to page permission and allow checking them off through the front end.

       105

       Currently, front matter is written back correctly to the git repo, but you need to use the UI to edit all of the options.

     

       106
       106
       +
       

     

       107
       107
       +
       As an option, enable the ability to display the frontmatter inline.

       +
       

     

       109

       For reference, the frontmatter includes:

       I have several pages that I keep open, and edit over time, especially my worklog pages. Default to an auto-save mode, which saves automatically (at the very least, locally to the DB).
