✍️ 2023: By The Numbers

After being stalled for several months whilst life happened, I've finally hit publish on my 2023 data review/collation.

Less of a narrative-driven approach this year, and more of a raw data feel. It made it easier to write (2022's post remains a Draft 😅) but also created a format closer to the dashboard I ultimately want. Plus, I could capture more data, from more varied sources, more easily.

Spent the day trying to come up with a draft of the digital garden setup. It's been a tough one, because I'm not quite able to get to the point I’d like it to be.

But I'm resigned to making something to start with. Something I can improve when my skills and tools allow. So I'll keep plugging away at it.

The reaction by some Mastodon instance admins in joining a ANTI-META FEDI PACT to block Meta's Threads joining the Fediverse is hypocritical. They are essentially acting as gatekeepers to prevent alleged possible gatekeeping. Here's a list of instance admins/mods who have agreed to block Threads:https://fedipact.online/

Avoid these instances. Quoting John Gruber on BlueSky:

Masto zealots: We’re open, federate with us!
Instagram: Great, we’re building a new thing to join you.
Masto zealtots: Not that kind of open!

Watching the #11tyConf

Really stoked to hear more about #11ty and POSSE on the #IndieWeb in Henry Desroches’s talk. Streaming live of YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLxJ6PtuF9M

I'm still a happy user of Notist (https://noti.st), a platform where I keep slides and links for my public talks.

One feature I love is that I get `/hdv.json`, which makes it trivial to fetch events for display on my own website. Just added an “upcoming talks” section to my site in under an hour https://hidde.blog/speaking/#upcoming-talks #indieweb

What do you use to host video assets for your projects/articles?

I don't want to rely on YT (privacy) and I'm ok with using a CDN.

My ideal: Cloudinary but with better UX and a usage-based pricing.

My traffic is < 300gb pm. Example article with vids:

Interested in a blog in the fediverse. I've tried to different write freely instances and federation doesn't seem to be working on mastodon. Any suggestions beyond mounting my own write simply instance or paying WordPress for their plugin?

A couple new lists of personal sites crossed my radar last night. Gossip’s Web the directory of handmade webpages https://gossipsweb.net/ and PersonalSit.es https://personalsit.es/. Adding them to the garden: Interesting Websites https://techlifeweb.com/garden/Interesting%20Website%20Directories/ A couple of us that I know of are collecting these. If you have one you want to post, we've decided on the hashtag #WebDirectory #indieweb #smolweb

Own your little corner of the web they said.

Jekyll ruby conflicts: 1 week to figure out
Cloudflare pages build errors: 2 hours to figure out
Jekyll sass not compiling now.

{throws hands up}

I wouldn’t have it any other way though. #indieweb

Just about ready to start banging this digital garden together.

I'm going in with the mindset that acknowledging the limits of my skills and capabilities is the first step in expanding those limits.

Which is the kinder way of saying that it's gonna be ugly, but at least it will be something. And I hope to make it better as I learn how to!

New Brain Rot

「And therefore we are here, the Super Hero movie. It’s the last Toryiama’s Dragon Ball. I expected nothing and still left disappointed.」

(I think I've been focusing in Brain Rots a bit too much lately. I have one more star trek and the D&D movie in the pipeline, and after that I'll return to tech webmastering)

@Meyerweb #IndieWeb Community's got you covered! https://events.indieweb.org/tag/frontend (this was something I only learned last week, that event tags then feed into limited calendars)! I'll cross my fingers you can make it!
