    I bonifici ora sono immediati e costano come quelli ordinari.
    Per treni & c. ho una prepagata¹ che uso appositamente per le cose online e, non dovendo ricevere soldi da nessuno ho ritenuto inutile avere paypal.

    ¹la prepagata è di poste e ha anche l'iban per i bonifici e non è legata ad un conto corrente (anche se effettivamente ne ho uno sempre con poste).

  • Federated Replies and Reactions in Madblog

    Engage with the Web from plain text files

    Madblog is founded on a simple principle: a blog is just a collection of #markdown files in a folder. No databases, no logins, no client-side bloat — just files.

    The recently implemented support for both Webmentions and ActivityPub add an extra appeal to this approach: now those text files can federate, they can send mentions to Wordpress blogs or Mastodon accounts, and you can visualize mentions, comments and reactions from other corners of the Web directly under your articles.

    But after receiving in the past few days a bunch of reactions on my blog that I couldn't interact with, which forced me to fall back on my standard Fediverse account to send replies and likes, I've decided to take the "everything is a file" philosophy a step further.

    Now from #madblog you can also reply to comments and react to posts across the Fediverse - all from plain text files in your content folder.

    Replying to Comments

    When someone comments on your article from Mastodon or another ActivityPub-compatible services, their message appears on your blog.

    Now you can also respond directly from your blog.

    Or you can reply to any other post on the Fediverse or mention anyone, without those posts cluttering your blog's front page (I've learned to avoid this fatal design mistake made by e.g. Medium).

    How it works

    Create a Markdown file under replies/<article-slug>/:

    [//]: # (reply-to: https://mastodon.social/@alice/123456789) Thanks for the kind words, Alice! I'm glad the tutorial helped. @alice@mastodon.social

    Save the file, and Madblog automatically:

    Publishes your reply to the Fediverse as a threaded response Notifies Alice on her Mastodon instance Displays the reply on your blog, nested under her original comment

    Your reply lives in your content folder. Just like with your articles, you can version replies and reactions on git, synchronize them over SyncThing or Nextcloud Notes, or run some analysis scripts on them that would just operate on text files.

    Replying to replies

    Conversations can go as deep as you want. Reply to a reply by pointing reply-to at the previous message's URL:

    [//]: # (reply-to: https://mastodon.social/@alice/123456790) Great question! I'll write a follow-up post about that. @alice@mastodon.social

    The threading is preserved both on your blog and across the Fediverse.

    [Example of a nested thread rendered on Madblog]

    (I hope that @julian@fietkau.social and @liaizon@social.wake.st won't mind for using a screenshot from their conversation on my blog 🙂)

    Remember to mention your mentions

    An important implementation note: if you're replying to someone else's ActivityPub post, it's important that you also mention them in the reply, otherwise your reply will be rendered under their comment but they may not be notified.

    Usually you don't have to worry about this on Mastodon because the UI will automatically pre-fill the participating accounts in a sub-thread when you hit Reply.

    But this is something to keep in mind when your posts are just text files.

    Your replies are articles in their own right

    Even though anything under replies/ won't appear on your blog's home page, it doesn't mean that it must be rendered just like a humble rectangle in a crowded comments section.

    By clicking View full reply you get redirected to a separate page where the reply is rendered as a blog article, and its comments sections consists in the sub-tree of the reactions that spawned from that specific reply.

    [Example of a Madblog reply rendered as a blog article, with its own sub-thread of reactions]

    Liking Posts

    Sometimes a reply is too much — you just want to show appreciation. Now you can "like" any post on the Fediverse with a simple metadata header.

    Standalone likes

    Create a file under replies/ with just a like-of header:

    [//]: # (like-of: https://mastodon.social/@bob/987654321)

    This publishes a Like activity to the Fediverse. Bob sees the notification, and your blog records the interaction.

    Like and comment

    Want to like and say something? Combine both:

    [//]: # (like-of: https://mastodon.social/@bob/987654321) [//]: # (reply-to: https://mastodon.social/@bob/987654321) This is such a great point! Bookmarking for later. @bob@mastodon.social

    Bob gets both the like and your reply as a threaded response.

    Unlisted Posts

    Not everything needs to appear on your blog's front page. Files under replies/ without reply-to and like-of headers become "unlisted" posts — they're published to the Fediverse but don't clutter your blog index.

    Perfect for quick thoughts, threads, or conversations that don't warrant a full article.

    [//]: # (title: Thoughts of the day) Quick thought: I've been experimenting with writing all my Fediverse posts as Markdown files. It's oddly satisfying to `git log` my social media history. Guestbook Replies

    Your blog's guestbook works the same way. Reply to guestbook entries by placing files under replies/_guestbook/:

    [//]: # (reply-to: https://someone.blog/mention/123) @alice@example.com welcome! Thanks for stopping by. Editing and Deleting

    Changed your mind? Edit the file and an Update activity is sent. Delete the file and your reply is removed from the Fediverse too.

    Accidentally liked something? Remove the like-of line (or delete the file) and an Undo Like is published.

    Your content, your rules.

    Getting Started Enable ActivityPub in your config.yaml: link: https://blog.example.com enable_activitypub: true activitypub_username: blog # Only specify these if you want your ActivityPub domain to be different from your blog domain # activitypub_link: https://example.com # activitypub_domain: example.com Install Madblog From pip: pip install madblog From Docker: docker pull quay.io/blacklight/madblog Run Madblog from your Markdown folder (it is recommended that your articles are stored under <data-dir>/markdown): From a pip installation: madblog /path/to/data From Docker: docker run -it \ -p 8000:8000 \ -v "/path/to/config.yaml:/etc/madblog/config.yaml" \ -v "/path/to/data:/data" \ quay.io/blacklight/madblog Any text file you create under markdown/ becomes a blog article. Any text file you create under replies/ becomes an unlisted post, a reply or a like reaction.

    Check the README for detailed configuration options.

    Happy blogging!

  • @peterkotrcka Next time, try the pizza and atmosphere at Sebastian Pub, a German boat floating in the Darsena. It's just a short walk from Caffè Italiano. It's open only in the evening, but the atmosphere is great and the pizza is peculiar and oval-shaped.

  • @hbauer uhm...no, I don't think it can currently serve .html files - it creates subdirectories and the index.html inside them. You'd need some rewrite rules at web server level

    Good morning. 🍊🍊🍊3 October 2025I had a plumber come in yesterday to unstop our kitchen sink. He was a nice enough young man and did a good job, but the cost to get him to snake out the drain gave me sticker shock. It was nearly twice what it was the last time I called them. I imagined being told in an Eastern European accent "the price is the price." The plumbing company is the one I normally call, but the next time I need the sink unplugged I might consider calling somebody else, or not I'll have to wait and see how I feel at the time. We're supposed to walk this morning but I'm again getting a late start. We may just do a few laps around the property today. One lap is roughly a quarter mile so I can get a little exercise in that way and Charlie stays off the leash when we stay here so he can run and jump or just get inquisitive about all of the surrounding scents. I'll need to dig out my waterproof hiking shoes; there is dew in the morning. After that, I may tend to the bird feeders, because they don't tend to themselves. I get to feeling a little bad when I look out and there are birds just hanging around empty feeders while staring at the backdoor. You'd think that I'm exaggerating, which I may be, but it sure seems like that's what they do.“The price is the price.” — Taken (film, 2008) — sovereign utterance from the Ministry of Unyielding Transactions“But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world.” — E.B. White“Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.” — Henry David Thoreau#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #nature #morning #oranges #fruit #plumber #walk
