Here’s a (rather niche!) micro.blog post I wrote for my local cycling group about how to merge separate GPS-recorded rides into one: How to merge GPX tracks easily https://microblog.raretrack.uk/2019/01/19/how-to-merge.html

It’s true. I can post to my micro.blog site direct from Dialog now. This should reduce the need for me to post direct to Twitter :) #indieweb #POSSE

I’m finding running my own Nextcloud instance is just too much friction and hassle for me. Thinking of moving back to silo cloud storage using Cryptomator for client-side encrpytion. I know it’s not #indieweb but very tempted anyway. Thoughts?

Things are changing around here, very different from the 80s when I first knew this area

Nice day to wash the bike :)

Hi all, does anyone know if there is a workaround to import my old Known status posts into Micro.blog? I have an RSS export of my Known posts, but not XML or WXR.

I'm beginning to think that #WordPress is somewhat overkill for my #indieweb use case - very tempted to revert to just using #Known and then POSSE that to #Microblog and #Mastodon

As a keen mapper myself I'm pleased to see a Mastodon instance for #OSM #OpenStreetMap - Mapstodon! https://en.osm.town/about

An article about cycling campaigning, but also an excellent general article about inclusivity and understanding privilege. As a 'Default Man' myself it's certainly made me think: On inclusivity in cycling, privilege and knowing when to shut up and listen

@rysiek @Antanicus I use my own TinyTiny RSS instance, and have a bookmarklet that does that. But yeah, native support would be cool.

@primes That's a pretty cool prime number! #44111

@roseveleth Great tip, I had no idea you could pin hashtags!

@dajbelshaw Ain't that the truth (says me, a white guy over 40!)
