Meine Social‑Media‑Beiträge – offen und ohne Anmeldung

  • I am playing with the idea of allowing commenting on my social archive. What kind of person would find it appealing to lurk someone else’s archive, commenting here and there, in the safety of a well‑built subdomain?

    What kind of person indeed?

    I would need to check out what the law says about allowing other people’s comments, but I like the idea of providing a space for a certain kind of dungeon lurker.

    If I should do it, I will not announce it. Let it develop organically, like an ecosystem.

    Getting really into Destiny 2 lately, and so far, it has been a blast.

    The music, the artwork, the lore, is just right: a well‑designed world with well‑designed elements, all fitting together.

    And you know what? Playing a game mostly played by dads and moms is a relief: maybe, after all, there is hope for adult media offering mature entertainment through its themes, rather than its visuals and scenes.

    A ‘complete package’ in what I would call recreational (electronic) media (after the Irem rebranded meaning) has always interested me the most: a solid art direction is invisible, because it makes a thing complete. Roleplaying games, tabletop games, video games. Nerd stuff.

    Incidentally, on the topic of video games, I have been looking for ways to get into R-Type (finding archived manuals has been fun) and a variation of Mega Man as well, but that is one of those slower processes.

    Slower processes are slow because if you try to speed them up, they end up consuming so much energy at once, you are basically incinerating yourself. I prefer catalyzing at room temperature.

    So far, I am enjoying my summer break quite a bit.

    Reblogging for troubleshooting <3

    In order of occurence:

    my security measures for my social archive made xmlrpc.php inaccessible, which causes the IFTTT applet doing the archiving to fail with 404

    I fixed that.

    renaming the automated archivist account on the wordpress subdomain has not yet been reflected in IFTTT, which causes the applet to fail with 403

    I fixed that.

    Perpetual testing and note‑keeping is kind of what I do in these situations: I sort of have a manual for these things I build online, and it keeps growing.

    Now everything should work as expected.

  • Using social media for finding interesting projects and people is basically what using the web has always been about, so I decided to untether what I write and do on social media sites, and archive it publically in one place. #asca

  • Before I jump off of this thing again, here is something I’ve learnt since last you read anything by me in the clear: I am much more relaxed understanding that the people who “tell you like it is”, do “some real talk” and “who know what’s up” have turnt that into a job. #acas

  • With Twitter working, I added Instagram as well, so what I have christened ACAS is working fine.
    See you in a couple of thousand hours again, since this is (just) preparation. I like doing things at room temperature, but it is still wild that this works as well as it does #acas

    It technically works, but between a workaround for adding hashtags from Twitter and automatically adding tags from this tumblr here, the post from Tumblr lost its tags.

    Adding the tags in the IFTTT recipe by hand first, and then have them processed into WordPress tags should work.

    Aside from embedding the image from tumblr instead of having it copied locally, it works so far.

    I am still trying to make the tags work, but I believe that getting that to work will consume 80% of the evening in order to add 20% of the functionality.

    So, what is certainly one of the few times in memory, I honestly decided against further investing time beyond this point.

    The archive works. No bells and no whistles.

    Pretty cool for a weekend project, right?

    What is next?

    Built a small social wall-type of website to aggregate my social media posts in one place. You can find it on social.mariobreskic.deNot bad for a weekend project. What have you built recently? Do you show it during the process or do you swear by the finished product having all the value?
