**New year, new blog!** (well, not really):
I just resurrected my #blog from 2006. It had been missing for the last few years. In the meantime, I “blogged” on a couple external platforms. I never liked not owning the thing as I used to, though — and my old posts were all unavailable.
So here it is again, at the same URL as always! Apart from blogging there anew, I'll be recovering all my old stuff and importing it there, so hopefully everything's in the same place soon.
RSS and Atom feeds available.

I have dozens of articles planned for my blog, which has been stopped for 2 years now. I want to start posting at least one per month, talk about being ambitious.

I haven't decided yet how “noisy” I want to be announcing content between my #blog and the platforms I patronise (mainly #Mastodon, #Pixelfed, #Goodreads — perhaps also #Twitter for shameful advertising).
But in principle I like the #POSSE approach (“Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere”) the most., so I'd be looking at
https://indieweb.org/Mastodon#POSSE
If elegant solutions fail, something like
https://ifttt.com/
might work, too.
@fidel @gasull
Come to think of it, it seems any automated solution is going to imply some complexity, and either maintaining my own service just for that or trusting a 3rd party with some credentials.
Besides, some of my posts I will not want to be cross-posted everywhere, or I'll want to share in a different way or at a different time.
So I don't think I'll be messing with automatic #POSSE in the near future — good ol' copy'n'paste will do for now!

I am always moved by anyone who bothers to follow me anywhere, and grateful for the attention of you all (yes, the _three_ of you 😜).
That being said: man… **#RSS!**
Cross-posting; pushing stuff from one place to another; sharing pics on platforms intended for commentary, or long posts on sites mainly used for video… that's always kind of redundant, noisy and awkward — compared to the simplicity and efficiency of #feeds; ie, of automatically receiving everything new.
Don't you subscribe to feeds?
You youngsters are irredeemable… 😜
@tripu @gasull I liked https://gitlab.com/chaica/feed2toot, I could audit the code myself. But I will worry about having too frequent blog posts first before trying to automate POSSE, until then I will do it manually.
