The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@jacobmparis Lol. I like this tweet a lot.

I agree with some sentiments too... except, like so many general rules it breaks down. There are bricks-and-mortar versions of many of those, and we refer to them differently. Mail !== email for instance.

Cannot argue with le phants, though.

@HenriHelvetica ha ha. Nope.

But I'm editing an article which uses a spelling of ecommerce which differs from what I thought was the norm. And I'd rather not step in it.

Help me, Twitter. You're my only hope.

@aral One of the things I like about Jamstack is that pregenerated static assets are highly portable. Meaning that there are fewer ties to any given host.

@scottpdawson Yeah, that's what I do.

And sadly not, the image transformation happens when served via the CDN, so it's not possible to do that locally until it has been deployed.

I sometimes add redirects for nicer URLs. Then I can use them locally to get transformed assets via netlify dev

@aral Nice!

One small clarification about #Jamstack though... you don't need to use 3rd party APIs (or even 1st party APIs, or JavaScript) for a site to be Jamstack. Mostly, it is about pre-rendering so a site can be served directly from a CDN, and decoupling APIs if you have them.

@sil I would have had better results with this. And I think @jaffathecake and @DasSurma knew it.

I can only imagine that I held @Jack_Franklin back from an otherwise perfect score.
