At last night's online HWC we talked a bit about getting pictures in and out of Instagram, now that they have become so much stricter about the API. Getting images into Instagram except through approved apps seems to be getting harder and harder, and is probably impossible by now. Getting images out…

I haven’t used Instagram for a long time but for the last couple of weeks I’ve been trying to convince my fiancé to at least PESOS her Instagram posts to her old, inactive blog. This looks like a way that might be done. Thanks, Jeremy!

My wishlist for Micro.Blog:
* a way to load new posts but keep my place in the timeline. Every morning I have endless scrolling to see what folks posted overnight.
* default to the aspect ratio of an included photo, not to square.
* let the Mac app upload videos and sound files.

I agree with this, particularly the first one.

If you need to download other versions of macOS than the current major version, this is where you find the App Store links for those.

This will definitely come in handy more than once.

Dear @JoeBiden,

You oppose Medicare for All during a pandemic.

You oppose the Green New Deal during a climate crisis.

You oppose UBI during an economic crisis.

You’re not the one to lead us forward at this moment in our history.

You should step down & let a real leader lead.

If too many people feel this way, the US will face four more years of Trump. Please, regardless of your feelings for Biden, remember what the alternative is. Hint: It is not four years of whatever your favourite is, unless the favourite is Trump.

Question for self-hosted WordPress users: How do you handle backups och your blog/site?

@MrHenko inte alls ? Jag har inget jag inte skulle kunna göra om plus att jag litar på att Websupport har en fungerande backup. Använde JetPack tjänsten några år men ville bort från WordPress

@MrHenko Plugins. I think the one I use is WP-Backup.

@MrHenko I’m using the daily snapshots of the server (Digital Ocean) as my backup method.

@MrHenko Ah. I doubled checked and it’s an automatic weekly backup. It only costs a dollar / month + storage costs. To setup there’s just a checkbox to enable backups and it’s set it and forget it.

They’ve also got a a guide how to automate it more frequently up at How To Use DigitalOcean Snapshots to Automatically Backup your Droplets.

@MrHenko The one I use is at github.com/matzko/wp… I notice that is has not been tested with the latest version, but it is still working for me.

@MrHenko korrekt, det är gamla binero.

Jag gillar idén bakom WP och jag har väl nån sorts hatkärlek till programmet. Det som jag tycker är dåligt är

känns inte ”elegant”
är rätt långsamt
buggfixarna verkar inte ta slut
har tappat data många gånger
det som man skickar in i WP är väldigt bökigt att få ut i ett vettigt format (informationen är delvis inlåst)
enskilda personer som jag är inte målgruppen för utvecklingen
jag ogillar den riktning som WP tycks vara på väg mot
WP är rätt värdelös på att hantera foton
idén att lagra inlägg som HTML är enligt min åsikt idiotiskt, speciellt när det gäller länkar till andra inlägg, foton, etc
Det är vad jag kom på just nu. Sedan finns det folk som är jättenöjda med WP och det är ju bra för dem, jag tycker också det bra att det är enkelt & gratis för alla att ska en sajt men jag har personligen lite problem med hela systemet

@MrHenko ? jag flydde från loopia till Binero för 11-12 år sedan … och nu har Loopia köpt Binero ?

Jodå, jag har väl börjat bygga ett system 10 gånger eller så, velat mellan system som Pelican, Drupal (det första systemet som jag använde), Hugo, Blot, osv. Just nu är det en Hugo sajt som jag håller på att bygga. WP är trevligt men ändå inte.

@MrHenko har funderat på Linode många gånger men eftersom släkten har sin email på mina domäner så blir det för dyrt att ha två tjänster

I could have given him my old iPhone 6, but I decided to go a little less digital. Zane is fascinated by animals and creatures and nature in general. One of the ‘annoying’ habits he’s developed is asking us to ‘take a picture’ of bugs and beetles and ants. After the 200th fly or whatever i…

I think that was a good choice. I gave Iris, my five year old, a similar old Canon point-and-shoot and it’s amazing to see how she uses it. Clearly she’s been watching a lot of vlogs because she keeps going around the house and filming herself talking to an audience.

@MrHenko ha, good to know i’m not the only one ’re-using’ tech in this way.

(This is a test, again.)

Posting from my old theme worked. Let’s post another reply on my blog to a post of micro.blog, this time with the new theme. Does this work?
