Which specs are these?

In general I would love for specs / data formats to embrace more of an extendable “Web Linking” approach datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc... (cred to @mnot.net)
RFC 8288: Web Linking
This specification defines a model for the relationships between resources on the Web ("links") and the type of those relationships ("link relation types"). It also defines the serialisation of such l...

But on a related topic, if the ATProto would start supporting WebFinger based discovery rather than just its own limited .well-known path, then some of the stuff would be gotten for free

(And this is very much a non-IndieWeb answer as WebFinger is not in line with the general approach of IndieWeb)
Not sure why #ATproto uses /.well-known/atproto-did to discover handles rather than using #WebFinger like #Mastodon and having a rel-self to a did:plc URI

Feels needless to have two discovery layers? And would have enabled the same handle resolution for both Mastodon and Bluesky?
Mastodon uses a rel-self, type-application/activity+json link to the absolute URL of the user (/users/foo)

@atproto.com / @bsky.app could have done the same and had a rel-self link to the did:plc URI (eg. did:plc:z72i7hdynmk6r22z27h6tvur)

IndieWeb isn’t just about microformats – the majority of it is the wiki and movement that documents prior art, experiences, attempts etc

And my point wasn’t that ATProto should become the IndieWeb or adopt the IndieWeb, it’s that it should not repeat reinventing yet another needless new thing
November 11, 2025 at 9:54 PM
But preferably not mimic Mastodon in disregarding prior art and creating for themselves while naming it so that it’s perceived as something bigger. See eg my comment in their PR: github.com/mastodon/mas...

ATProto and the IndieWeb have a lot in common structurally

Both, and preferably a feed that contains both and another feed that contains just long form (different readers are suited for different content)

@pepelsbey.dev @lukewarlow.dev Perhaps there needs to be some more blogging / tutorials / references on how to constructively engage with this?

Such a one could also mention the possibility to sponsor @openwebdocs.org as a way to bring more hands on deck in improving the documentation

It’s real sad that the UNIFIL will be withdrawn rather than doubled down upon
Instead the UN Security Council has decided that also the UNIFIL – which has been in place for decades – should be disbanded at the end of next year.

Why bring less global accountability to the region? Isn’t there an urgent need to bring in more? To protect and safeguard?
The UN Security Council has voted to extend the UNIFIL peacekeeping mission in south Lebanon - but only until the end of 2026.

The timeframe is described as "not necessarily too realistic," given the goals of disarming Hezbollah and overseeing an expected Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon.

This is why filing simple issues shouldn’t be as frowned upon as it currently is in large parts of the OSS community :/ (Not sure how it’s like in MDN)

Have you tried contributing a fix? It’s on GitHub and everyone can edit, I even made this screen recording a while back to help out showing how to those who may not be very used GitHub: bsky.app/profile/voxp...
Here’s a screen recording from my tiny iPhone 12 Mini that shows how to identify when the change was introduced (in this case it’s been there since the import of the documentation to GitHub 5 years ago) and how to make a change.

Only thing I didn’t include was the commit + proposal part 🙈

You’re absolutely correct

Have you looked into whether you can use “git subtree” instead? Especially with the “--squash” flag it can be real powerful and doesn’t add any external repository dependencies apart from when pulling or pushing changes of course manpages.debian.org/testing/git-...
git-subtree(1) — git-man — Debian testing — Debian Manpages

Eg. the IKEA Dirigera can connect both ZigBee and Thread devices so I would assume one can achieve that with Home Assistant as well.

And Matter is kind of an open platform, and Philips Hue should be able to bridge its connected Hue lamps to Matter nowadays.

Thread is kind of the successor to ZigBee (same radio frequency but IP-based) and part of Matter, so for the longevity of your new smart devices I would opt for ones that support Thread (even though your Hue devices are ZigBee)

Lovely to hear!
