Yeah this is my strategy. The top/bottom post brigade are both happy and email clients seem to handle it well.

It's kind of alarming to me that the default in say gmail is to constantly re-send the original message chain back and forth. I guess it then gives the whole chain to newcomers to the thread?

Yeah and it prevents issues if the subject line changes in an unexpected way that confuses the email client, or issues where an email chain goes on for a long period of time but retention policies delete old emails. Etc…

Been using this for years now, it's precisely what I needed given that I came to bass clef late in life

Love to hear it

I feel like this should be using data- attributes instead of classes? I'm not a frontend guy really but aren't classes more for styling

The indieweb is both beautiful and frustrating to me. I have been writing online for 20 years in various forms, and my current site is 10 years old.

I feel like I should be part of it. And according to their website, I own a domain and a site, so I am a part of it!

But then you scroll down and the headaches begin.

https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started

It feels like so much infra and setup to get stuff up and running that it scares me away every time.

This. The barrier of entry is too high. Feels like the Indieweb is stuck at the protocol layer and an abstraction above it is badly needed.

Sounds like you just invented social media ;)

Yeah, just get Level 1 Webhosting from Hetzner for 2 EUR/month, click the 1-click setup for WP and off you go. What's the big deal?

Yeah then simply follow the guide

https://indieweb.org/Getting_Started_on_WordPress

Which links to dozens of other guides but maybe it's this one you want

https://indieweb.org/WordPress_IndieWeb_Plugin

Oh that's a stub better hit the linked github

Unless it's indieauth you're after? Micropub? websub? webmentions? The world is your oyster!

Why continue to make this argument when, an hour prior to you posting this, it was correctly pointed out that literally none of that is required?

Did you read this line? It says after the domain and site:

“That’s it. Everything else is optional awesomeness, you choose.”

I would advise against password re-use regardless of 2FA.

- Lots of flaky 2FA implementations out there where it's easy to get in without it, if you have the password

- If a service doesn't offer 2FA you are now unable to use it for fear of sharing your password (like this website)

I suppose logically if your email is 2FA, then someone can't do 'forgot password', but man that feels super flaky.

Gmail “magic link” login (which is the reset password flow, but without needing the password) is the same security profile as Google OAuth, while exposing less user data (name and profile are nonoptional) — and also equivalent to an Android-managed passkey.

With the price being an absolutely awful user experience. Did the email arrive yet? Or wasn’t it sent in the first place? Oh wait, let’s check spam. Send again, what do you mean try again in five minutes, I want to sign in now!

It's good UX for websites with extremely long periods between logins. Like a service you access once a year, or even every two years. Or a service where you might never have to log in ever (I run such a thing at work).

I would not want this for my google account or the like.

If you pop a Google account, Reddit no longer has 2FA, just as an example. Plenty of examples of stupidity like that around.

(Logging into Reddit with a Google account bypasses any and all forms of 2FA auth.)

That's exactly what I do and it works great.

I remember an old friend of mine moved to the Orkneys, and used the free webspace to set up a webcam and site so we could keep in touch with him. Back in the late 90s this was kind of mind-blowing!

Rolls Royce do this I think

Even YouTube has RSS feeds

Oh god they just replaced our horrible fluorescent tubes with dazzling white LED. From bad to worse.

I have a friend who setup lighting in there garage where he works on servers, he was really proud of his new lights, when I came in, I was shocked to see he picked the worst lights possible, blinding blue/white, flickering, shining directly into your face.

I don't know how he does it, but I can't stand it.

Also, at work we have fluorescent tubes, it's so bad. Sometimes when I work weekends (by my self), I'll leave them off when I get in, just use natural light. It's so much nicer. Also helps that the building "A/C" is off too. I quote it because it's a sad excuse for A/C which barely cools, just makes a huge amount of noise for doing nothing.
