    With an ever-growing Read Later list, I figured it’s about time to do something about it. So I’ve dusted off my website, given it a fresh lick of paint, and I’ll start blogging to impart some of what I’ve learnt from my reading list.

    I’ve been trying to get Mastodon to play nicely with scottmallinson.com since Automattic bought the ActivityPub WordPress plugin, but I’m not having much luck. And to make things more challenging, IndieWeb/Fediverse components need testing in live environments.

    I’ve been attempting to follow the Wildebeest documentation to create a Mastodon instance using CloudFlare’s infrastructure and it’s not quite a turnkey solution, and at a minimum of $10 to get started it’s not a cost-effective option either (compared to using a VPS).

    Well, we did it. We migrated all 112 plugins to the new framework version and addressed the breaking changes and inter-dependencies in the process. Dare I say, we may have even improved some of the code. Though it may be too ambitious to say at this time until regression testing has completed.

    https://scottmallinson.com/blog/2023/02/02/1040383/ by scottmallinson Some wins, some losses today. Managed to get a bunch of plugins migrated at work. Huzzah! Dishwasher broke. Boo! Dishwasher not broken! A couple of calls to customer services and we managed to fix it. Also, rounded out Friday with approximately 75% of plugins migrated.
