A bunch o' links, May 17th '24

No major updates this week - except that this blog now sends Update activities, so you might start seeing these posts in your ActivityPub feeds (I still can't see replies though, so don't bother sending them).

Anyway, here are a few links from the last month or so that I thought were interesting:

A museum in San Fransisco has connected their collection to the Fediverse, creating an actor for each object in their collection. I love the intersection of museums and archives with open source and linked data tech, and I have a particular interest in the fediverse, so this is really nice to see.

In A look at search engines with their own indexes, Rohan Kumar takes a look at the search engine landscape, from the big three to the new and alternative engines. A good resource for anyone who's interested in the alternatives to Google and Bing.

I've been really impressed with podcast software AntennaPod's social media presence and blog posts recently. It's a great example of an open source project understanding that communication is an important part of project management. Their recent blog post on refactoring their code structure is quite insightful, and gives me confidence that AntennaPod are here to stay.
