Ephemera

Stream of consciousness

Just implemented automated POSSE syndication for ephemera posts using CloudCannon's postbuild hooks!

If it goes the well, it should syndicate new ephemera to Mastodon and Bluesky after each successful build.

Makes me a bit nervous to ship the first one because I don't know how to mock all the complexity.

It's kind of refreshing to see that AI also has no idea how regular expressions work.

I'd respect it more if it copped to it instead of drawing me into a series of prompts that read like a crummy magician failing to learn a new card trick.

As I consider choosing the word ephemera for my content collection type, I am certain the fact that the same word is used for singular and plural won't come back to haunt me at any time.

I'm warming up to the idea of calling microblog shaped content "activities" to disambiguate between them and "proper" blog posts.

Does anyone do that? Seems like an obvious name considering ActivityPub, but I've not seen anyone with a stream of Activities.

I feel like note is more common, but I kinda want to use that word for something else.
