  2. blog.futtta.be on the fediverse

    Pretty sure no-one is waiting for this, but after having spent a couple of years on the Fediverse (Mastodon in my case) I decided to add ActivityPub support to my WordPress installation via the ActivityPub plugin. I have the WP Rest Cache plugin active, so I'm expecting things to gently hum along, without (most likely) or with these posts gaining traction.

  3. Ironically, according to my experience, the .well-known directory doesn’t do justice to its name. Even in use cases that would fit nicely in its original purpose.

  6. Mail client autoconfiguration is still a mess. :/ What method to you recommend for interoperability @thunderbird @k9mail?

  7. If you're interested in what else could be lurking in Google's anonymous seller accounts after reading @craigsilverman's new report, here's 255k of them where Well-Known was able to identify the likely owner domain.

  8. I've been tracking the adoption of the OWNERDOMAIN and MANAGERDOMAIN variables from Ads.txt 1.1 since it was released on August, and it's not looking great. Adoption is clearly leveling off at very low rates.
