• As does Publish LogSeq from Mobile
• But, it’s a single 40MB+ index.html file!
• And, “article” publishing isn’t really great. Ideally I could throw a tag or property onto a page and get a better article version.

• I do it for me first, as I have always done for blogging, too
• I have notes like this that I can come back to, and especially how to’s or install details, are very useful
• I hope to get better at “asking questions of my notes”
• If I’m going to write something up to share with someone, chances are its useful for other people, so why not publish it so it can be easily shared
• My style for personal stuff is pretty documentarian heavy — so BMC/Microblog is adventures and food
• Questions I ask of my foodwiki and microblog are along the lines of “where were we last year” or “what was that place that Rosano took us to on south Main”
• Long ago and far away, I got excited by blogging and publishing because I connected with other people, a lot!
• I think I owe a lot to blogging
• I say I was one of the first 1000 bloggers — no idea if that was true; but that’s how “small” the people publishing in 2001 felt
  • We read each others’ blogs, and re-blogged, and commented, and wrote back and forth, with a cadence of days/weeks
• Also: it was the beginning of SEO, and it was exciting that my Drupal blog ranked highly for a ton of things, so I had people stop by and comment from all over
• Most of these feelings / interactions have been eaten by broadcast social media and cozy web spaces like Discord servers or Signal groups
• But, it’s hard to use posts into social media as an archive even just for yourself when its on someone else’s platform
• Using BMC/Microblog, I have it set to cross-publish to my #CoSocial Mastodon account and to #Bluesky
  • MicroBlog I have high confidence that I can export from
  • With CoSocial and Bluesky, I am leaning into them more also because I “trust” that that content will persist: both socially (CoSocial is a co-op I help run and I know it’s backed up) and technically (I own my username on Bluesky, and their AT Protocol/Personal Data Server model means I’ll eventually run my own)
  • But: the content isn’t here so it’s not searchable or cross-indexable to the rest of the #Second Brain here unless I link to it / copy it here
• And chat is ephemeral. At best, you write stuff here and drop it into social media or chat — so you have a copy, and that at least has a chance of being discoverable by others

• Build A Portable Lab In The Cloud Using Tailscale, Terraform and DigitalOcean #Terraform #homelab #Digital Ocean
  • Not quite ready to go Terraform although it’s a good idea
  • Will install #nginx apt-get install -y nginx
• Tailscale Based VPN on DigitalOcean Droplet #Tailscale #Digital Ocean
  • Not going to use most of this, but let’s start by installing Tailscale
  • curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh
  • What I should have done is tailscale up --advertise-exit-node but needed to do it afterwards
  • And now IP Forwarding needs to be enabled
  • I’m not following the firewall steps, at least not yet

• Those Docker services including the Nextcloud AIO restarted and are connected to Tailscale again, but it skipped some sort of setup step and is now asking for an admin login, so I’ll need to delete / re-run those docker containers I guess
• And, use gateway.bmann.ca as the domain? or nextcloud.bmann.ca or something
• Which is the part I need to figure out with Tailscale

We’re in a post printing press, post telephone world.

But we’re in the messy middle of figuring out the Internet.

What do we need to work on?

Engaging with and understanding the “governance stack” that both includes physical wires & servers and hard national borders and laws…

…and all the other software stuff that’s sort of everywhere.

Robin Berjon calls this The Internet Transition:
