Does anyone know of/use an HTTP caching proxy, which can read/write cached responses to disk? Trying to reduce the overhead on an external service (during CI/CD) and allowing caching between runs

Squid! It’s good enough for Amazon’s image CDN fleet so it should be good enough for you too.

This search engine seems pretty cool. So far the catalog appears to only have human-submitted feeds, though. I’ve already submitted a couple of mine, and hopefully more folks get on board with it.

EDS & Why We Misunderstand Disability

Comments

I find this video incredibly relatable. I’ve not been formally diagnosed with any version of EDS but I definitely have some sort of hypermobility disorder, and it’s definitely related to my fibromyalgia diagnosis. Everything she shares in her story is super relatable. Including the specific experiences with physiotherapists and being doubted by every doctor, and everyone blaming me being “out of shape” or having a “weak core.”

I have nothing helpful to add here except to say, Javascript’s undefined/null duality continues to be a mistake.

(But also, anything that relies on that duality has also made a mistake.)

I agree that this is a massive pain point and it’s something I’ve talked about a lot on this blog.

At present, I use a combination of 1 (via isso) and 4 (via webmention.io + webmention.js). The integration on 4 is also helped by using Bridgy and Bridgy Fed to receive webmentions from Mastodon and many of the silos, which strikes an okay balance for me, although it’s far from perfect.

One of the biggest problems with webmention, IMO, is that it doesn’t provide a good story for protected/private responses to protected/private entries. Ticket Auth might eventually provide that, but adoption of that protocol has been slow-going, to say the least, and there’s still open questions about how to actually manage the credentials in an unsupervised flow (especially when using a third-party webmention endpoint). An older WIP called AutoAuth had a much better story for that use case but the protocol was incredibly complicated and implementations never progressed beyond the proof-of-concept stage.

For me, isso as my primary comment system remains the least-bad option of a lot of bad options.
