@ChrisAldrich @mrled It needs so much love to make even s little bit better... But yes!

@mrled What are your favorite RSS tools and experiments? (https://t.co/0zMhjOY31e)

@mrled I'm using RSS and OPML to power a blogroll on steroids. https://t.co/SLqoo7Cesz

@mrled @schnarfed has some great RSS translation tools in Granary. (https://t.co/GZu6tJmAWL) https://t.co/f9MD6WCQJm

@mrled Last year I saw some ideas out of @genmon who also made About Feeds. (https://t.co/9vgWljWnsp) https://t.co/G8btYMCeg3

@mrled There's also Dave Winer's work with OPML and FeedBase which are intriguing. (https://t.co/OjygwIG0Jf)

@mrled One of the more interesting things I've seen is @julien51's work with SubToMe, which iterates significantly on making RSS easier to use and subscribe to sites. (https://t.co/Q58PzIXNeO) https://t.co/Ge8HqlhTsC

@mrled But who is still iterating on doing new and interesting things with RSS? (https://t.co/lXVJkkCzgd)

@mrled People are still adding these sidefiles to their sites all these years later. I just read a colleague's article about moving from ATOM to RSS the other day. And it wasn't that long ago that the Knight First Amendment Institute fixed their RSS feed. (https://t.co/5mS1oMrzG2)

@mrled While many say it's dead, it's still thriving all around the web as a serious form of glue that's supported by almost every major platform out there. (https://t.co/Yeg8kHu6SG)

@mrled But seriously what is really new in RSS land? RSS 2.0 will celebrate it's 12th birthday at the end of the month on March 30th. It hasn't changed or evolved since that time. (https://t.co/3ivibbdcOZ)

@mrled Or maybe if you're daring, we need a shareable OPML file of feeds? Send me your feed about RSS, and I'll add it to my list: https://t.co/C7jnnFsGXr (https://t.co/nivcdfhpqz)

@mrled Discord. Ha! What we really need is a planet of posts tagged with RSS that has its own RSS feed! I’ll start by offering my feed about RSS: https://t.co/GNAgWXOQYe https://t.co/8RVeaGOODn

@mrled @reederapp @NetNewsWire @feedbin how does https://t.co/lJ4Qn5DyjD behave in your readers?

@mrled @reederapp @NetNewsWire @feedbin you may find that using an img with a data url of the SVG will be more robust to RSS use - a lot of RSS readers will strip HTML tags they don't recognise, even with CDATA. You may need to base64 it too. One of the reasons for h-feed is to avoid the nested escaping trickiness

I found this RSS validator helpful as well: https://t.co/OvWQeq79Ug

IndieWeb dev chat is one such place: https://t.co/EieXJei7Rs But it still seems like RSS needs some kind of community forum.

Update: I figured out that using inline 'style="..."' on the <span> element containing the SVG, rather than assigning a class and styling with CSS, will fix the problem in some RSS readers, like @reederapp and @NetNewsWire, but not others like @feedbin. Interesting.

This thread actually prompts another question: where can I go to talk about RSS? Is there a Discord I can join? A mailing list? A blog comment section? Would love to know where people with experience working with RSS hang out. https://t.co/UIw7OJgJFd

... 2) General web dev articles that have an SVG of an RSS icon and also mention CSS.

This is hard to Google for, because there are lots of posts about either 1) CSS styles for RSS XML, so that your RSS looks nice in the browser. This is a cool idea that I didn’t know was possible, but it isn’t the problem I wanted to solve. https://t.co/cLE5Zy238y ...

... while @reederapp v5 viewing the same RSS feed shows it very large. https://t.co/n4B9wPn63q

Do I need to convert to bitmap icons for RSS? Is there some way I can make these SVGs display nicely in feed readers?

However, when I view the resulting RSS feed in readers, the official @feedbin app doesn’t show it at all... https://t.co/yEznLEJRHe

It’s supposed to produce output like this (just a screenshot from that web page): https://t.co/RnvuHtNVVr

Is it possible to get consistent SVG display inside an RSS feed? I love the results of this post on the web, but it doesn’t work as-is in the RSS readers I’ve tested it with. https://t.co/Cf0QnX4ZxW

Of course when I was a kid this thing didn’t run A/UX, just regular old macOS, err Mac OS, err System 7. I don’t remember being able to do anything new after the upgrade... my dad might have gotten it to run MIDI software? I’ll have to ask him.

The machine I had - if I recall correctly - was a Centris upgraded to a Quadra processor, which had an MMU that A/UX required. The machine was our family computer when I was a kid. I remember when my dad got the upgrade and opened up the machine to install it!

This looks awesome! I had an A/UX machine about 15 years ago, but I never had any original media. A really nice vectorization. https://t.co/i6UrDatqmr

A/UX 3.0 CD artwork vectorised, and as an A1 poster PDF here: https://t.co/5oRDnwylnV https://t.co/Pss45V4igV

Upgraded my blog with nice inline SVG icons. I liked using emoji for little inline icons before, and inline SVGs are a big improvement because I’m no longer confined to Unicode. https://t.co/Cf0QnX4ZxW

I used the “black natural versatile plastic”, which isn’t the default option when you click the “Print on Shapeways” button on the skyline site. It turned out really good! (When I ordered this, that button didn’t exist. I don’t know anything about materials so I just picked one.)

Last year was a very difficult year. But, I’m really happy with what I learned and what I finished. I had my GitHub skyline 3D printed so that I have a physical reminder of some of the good parts of 2020. https://t.co/k6OS2tTQdn

@boldport The diceware Python package can do this with eg ‘diceware -n 2’ https://t.co/SvgJsBgGFb

I'm looking for a passphrase generator of two words, like 'RabbitHammer' or 'GardenCheese', but I need hundreds of them (not for security-related application)... does anyone know something like that?

RT @MalwareTechBlog: I miss when my friends just pressured me into doing drugs instead of joining some App for recreational conference call…

This was a Very Serious Test, which I had to do for good reasons, https://t.co/MBwTRTWI1P

Whole thing took me less than two hours, and it could have been shorter but I was have fun make hammer go smash https://t.co/ydoVG94phW

I did this to protect against catastrophic events like house fires or floods which could theoretically destroy electronics AND paper backups.

I stamped my @1Password Secret Key into steel https://t.co/I6bwVzYA6m

I followed a guide from @econoalchemist for doing this with bitcoin seed phrases. The guide is handily available in your choice of blog post or tweetstorm format. https://t.co/1bJgbn8B2H https://t.co/2QeACtdp1q

He tested the result by heating it up to nearly melting temperature and then left it in salt water for 40 days. It was still readable after that!

Finally published a post I’ve been kicking around for a while about using Let’s Encrypt DNS challenges to get certs for hosts with private IPs, without a publicly accessible HTTP server. https://t.co/4v4ydnW7n0

kexec is _so cool_, but I can't make it work for me 👿 https://t.co/igfcVM3kMd

RT @ctrlcreep: Goddamn somebody please name a chatbot Xipheshua or Taman-tabbalon or King Hur the Magnanimous instead of freaking "Amanda"

I also have a secret project I’m working on, off and on. It has even more visual design, and I’m cautiously optimistic based on my first attempt. (Right now I’m mad at it for unrelated reasons so we are not on speaking terms... I’ll get back to it in a couple of weeks probably.)

I’ve never felt good about my visual designs in the past. But last year, https://t.co/IaMb0HSbR1 and https://t.co/N5g8iuKYu3 both came out better than anything I’ve done in the past. Makes me want to rework everything 🧑‍💻

I think it's important to support software development with money, and I'm license agnostic about this. If it's useful I'm happy to pay. (In fact, I also own a Synergy license.)
