An interview with two passionate RFC 5005 fans on how to handle big Atom feeds
This conversation took almost an hour, so I split it into two shows:
- Part 1 talks mostly about the RFC itself, what it means and why. HPR 3082
- Part 2 goes into personal experiences with the RFC and with syndication in general, in particular in the context of web comics.
This is part 2.
In this show I’m talking to:
fluffy
- Federated social web:
https://queer.party/@fluffy - Writes and makes things in several creative fields:
https://beesbuzz.biz/ - Publ is like a static site generator, but dynamic. It produces RFC 5005 archive feeds, of course:
https://publ.beesbuzz.biz/ - Thoughts on ephemeral content vs content worth archiving and how they relate to protocols:

Conversation notes
- Back in 2002, Aaron Swartz published his joke MIME-header-based RSS 3:

The cultural context at the time and the rivalry between RSS 0.91+, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0 and Atom deserves a show of its own.
