• [[trip to x]]!
  • Flying to [[Hong Kong]] and then [[Tokyo]] today.
  • With [[AG]] :)
  • Very happy about these holidays! They’ve been planned for long, and as work got tough in the last few months I relied on "seeing them coming" quite a bit.
  • I’ll be very jet lagged but also likely happy in Shinjuku for the first few days.

As I write this, I’m roughly above [[Baku]] about to cross the [[Caspian Sea]]. I don’t have an internet connection so I’m jotting down these local notes which will be synced to the Agora later.

I guess much has already been said about the relatively rareness of being offline nowadays; I am old enough to remember a time before being online at all was possible; then a time in which being online was rare; then the transition to always-on home internet and then mobile internet. I welcomed each increment of extra connectivity, and I still love how far we’ve gotten in this respect; but I can also appreciate the focus that being fully offline for a bit seems to bring. If nothing else it announces that the same focus is always available — behind the impulse to catch up with messages, or check feeds, or read about Baku and the Caspian Sea on Wikipedia (which is surely what I would be doing right now instead of writing these words were I not truly offline.)

• [[agora]]

I’m thinking a bit of Agora development during these holidays; it might or might not happen, based on all the sightseeing and experiencing we’ll be doing out there in the analog world :) But I thought it would still be nice to think of which things I could improve in the Agora if I have some time available.

I might write some [[executable subnode]] or other, if nothing else because they are fun and self-contained.

I think I will try to do one or two quick iterations on the [[Agora Server]] UI, maybe finishing the move to [[zippies]] as base widget as I’ve already done for nodes, stoas and most sections really. If I am able to move all sections under the search button/field to zippies the UI will probably look a lot more streamlined/be easier to understand, less confusing (this I’m guessing based on earlier feedback). Also it’s not hard to do and it is apparent, so it sounds fun.

Moving on to larger things, [[mycoverse]]/[[fediverse]] integration is something I would love to get done in this Q4 2023 so getting started on it would make a lot of sense. I would love to understand what is the minimum that Agora Server would need to do to be able to expose user accounts as Fediverse feeds. Then new/updated nodes could generate something close to new posts/notes? Unsure.

Also, some playing with an hypothetical [[knowledge commons extension]] for e.g. [[Obsidian]] or [[Logseq]] or [[VSCode]] could be in order after the conversation last week with the [[fellowship of the link]]. But one blocker there is that I’m currently not using either Obsidian or VSCode as garden editors, so I’m not directly scratching an itch. Having said that, moving back to Obsidian or Logseq or [[Foam]] for a bit could make sense to see how far they’ve gone since the last time I’ve used them. It’s still a shame Obsidian is not free software though.

• I tried [[framatalk]] by [[framasoft]] yesterday and today and I’m liking it a lot.
  • [[jitsi]] based.
