Turns out, #LogSeq can’t handle 35K small files.
The script is fast and easy.
Do I need my #TwitterArchive as one page per tweet as a #Hugo compatible set of #Markdown files?
Probably good for importing into #LogSeq or #ObsidianMd or similar tools.

Self hosting Mastodon & supporting collectives & code
I was reminded that I wrote about running your own Mastodon (on Heroku!) back in 2017. Heroku is on its way out, so I wo...Anyone saying “Mastodon should do X” should understand a couple of things.

ActivityPub-the-protocol is the bigger ecosystem, also without a “lead”
If you’re on the “main” MastoDotSocial server, I encourage you to find a cozier home server for yourself. Lean into federation! Explore! Experiment!
More on account moving here
Did a walk around the neighbourhood with @RachaelAshe before leaving for Berlin.
These are the fruit of the Pacific Dogwood tree, which is supposedly edible but described as “mealy”. Maybe I’ll do a jam test when I get back.
Went to Hapag Ihaw-Ihaw Grill this week, great Filipino food on Victoria Drive. Thanks @rtanglao for organizing.
Photos: 1) @fmedeats poses in front of menu, 2) Pile of crispy pata to share, 3) Vegetable spring rolls, 4) Chicken inasal combo with garlic rice, pickles & slaw.
A few #BowenIsland photos to round out the week:
-
Last night, 1) the causeway at sunset
-
This morning, 2) view from meadows bridge & 3) Killarney Lake lily pods
-
Afternoon, 4) bounty on parents deck
Leaving from Horseshoe Bay, and then half way across to Bowen Island.
It was a long, hot, half day of travel, with ferry shenanigans as sometimes happens.
It’s been a while since some good #pickling content got shared!
On the left, refrigerator pickles with white vinegar and brine. Will take about 3 days to sour.
Right, just brine, will take 7-10 days to ferment, with a fancy Kraut Source fermentation lid.
A new to me term, “recommendation media” as driven by algorithms, from the article “The End of Social Media” by @mignano
This observation comes as TikTok algos reign supreme, Insta cranks up algos, & even FB deprioritizes friends.
First swim of the year at New Brighton Park. Sun setting at end of day, Burrard Inlet & north shore mountains behind.
We’ll try for a couple more dips this week while temperatures are high.

If you ever want to have a digital tool to help with session voting and scheduling for #unconference -style events, the app created for @polyglotconf is great!
Thanks @ksgyoung for sharing this github.com/kyoung/un…

Kickstarting an app ecosystem
I’ve been thinking about kickstarting a couple of different app ecosystems. I’m going to be a bit vague here, but imagin...Last Weekend in May 2022
Looking back at this weekend, it was filled with adventures and cooking AND relaxing. I had a fancy work lunch on Friday...I heard this (old! released 1998!) song by Placebo, Pure Morning, and have been obsessed by it.
Crunchy guitars. Kind of ambiguous quirky lyrics. “A friend in need is a friend indeed”
Nudelauflauf: made with ricciarelle noodles (a bit like skinny lasagna).
Remembered the trick of using a box grater to grate fresh tomatoes, made a very garlicky sauce, then put in cooked noodles and broiled with raclette on top.
