Since November of 2023 I’ve attempted to use my WordPress based site as my window to the Fediverse. I’m using a combo of these plugins: Friends, Enable Mastodon Apps, and ActivityPub.  While this more or less works as it should there are still some rough spots to iron out and it’s far from ideal. Granted, most of my interaction is via Mastodon and that is but a portion of the Fediverse but there are various things I cannot do even if accessing my site via Mastodon apps. Sharing links externally is cumbersome, I would need to leave the app I was using and go to my Friends page on the web, find the link, click it, then share it. I cannot follow hashtags (yet). Following new accounts needs to be done via the web interface and doesn’t work within apps. I have no intention of decoupling my site from the Fediverse but I will return to my Mastodon instance (follow me! @vaughnhannon@m.socialyeti.club ) for regular posting and consuming of all the goodness.

I am drinking Mocha Stout by Abnormal Beer Co. at Barbara’s at the Brewery in Los Angeles.

Name: Mocha Stout
Brewery: Abnormal Beer Co.
Style: Stout – Coffee
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 5.1%
IBU: 21
Brewer’s Notes: This luscious year-round coffee Stout is made with beans from a local San Diego coffee roaster. We then add a healthy dose of cacao nibs creating velvety chocolate notes that compliment the subtle roastiness from dark malts and coffee beans. Drink with breakfast, as a dessert, or both! Mocha Stout; you don’t have to be a coffee drinker to love this beer.

"In 2024, for the first time, it finally feels like we have a critical mass of people and platforms who are interested in rewilding the internet to bring back what we lost, and create something new. …  There's a palpable feeling that this just might be the year of the open web."

is this feeling… hope? activitypub.ghost.org/day-0/

A glass of Modern Times Black house coffee stout. It didn't stay full for long.

A glassI am drinking Black House by Modern Times Beer at Modern Times Lomaland Fermentorium in San Diego.

Name: Black House
Brewery: Modern Times Beer
Style: Stout – Coffee
Alcohol by volume (ABV): 5.8%
IBU: 40
Brewer’s Notes: It’s so great that you like coffee. I just love that about you. Speaking of which, you’re holding an oatmeal coffee stout positively redolent with coffee aroma and flavor. It’s not acrid. It’s not astringent. It doesn’t taste like that brown puddle at the bottom of the office carafe at 4pm. It kind of tastes like chocolate covered espresso beans, only drier and more like beer. It’s the full-blown coffee beer experience in a sessionable-ish package.
