Only just discovered a bunch of website images still pointing to the (now-deleted) staging site.
No-one ever says anything! 🤣

I've been playing with a way to make styling web components easier. The idea is to send variable names to components that they can use to pull in a page's styles. Details here if you're interested:

Is it useful or necessary to have a "back to top" button on a #blog that stays in a corner and doesn't scroll off the page? (To see it in action, go to https://ljwrites.blog/posts/queer-premodern-korea/ and scroll a little way down for the button to appear.) More details in thread. #IndieWeb #accessibility #a11y
Yes, a back to top button is useful.
No, a back to top button is unnecessary.

A terrific #IndieWeb #FrontEnd Study Hall. A great group of participants from around the planet with a wide variety of knowledge and experience. I learned today that the word "zine" is far far older than I realized. Oh, also lots of HTML and CSS ideas too. Great links in today's archived etherpad: https://indieweb.org/events/2025-01-16-front-end-study-hall

I've seen many-a-person annoyed or otherwise dissatisfied by the fact that your posts on one Fedi instance don't move with you when you switch instances. (There's some obvious technical reasons for why this is the case that I'm not going to explain here.) This is why having your own website is so important and can be so valuable! If there's something you've posted on social media (or wherever on the web) that's worth saving, then why not make a copy of it and have it published on a web site? Your website!
I like to refer to this as "Reverse Syndication", but for those of you that speak #indieweb, you've probably heard of #PESOS ("Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate Own Site"). Basically it means that what you publish FIRST on social media, you make a copy of on your site. This could be as an archive, a canonical representation, a data ownership/soverignty play, w/e!
I've used a ton of social media sites, sites like Reddit, and switched Fedi instances multiple times. Across these years (at least since I've been bathed in the glorious light of the Indieweb), I've been PESOS-ing things I think I want to hold on to to my site. The vast majority of these things I file away as "notes" (https://shellsharks.com/notebook). This allows me to A. archive things as I've discussed, while B. not "junking" up my main RSS feed, or blog post timeline with silly reverse-syndicated social media posts/micro-blogs. It takes a little bit of effort, (unless you have some fancy-pants automated PESOS-ing system), but the pay-off is huge imo.
So let this be your answer for "I wish I could transfer my old social media posts to my new social media platform"
Another thing you can do, specifically with Mastodon (but likely with other post archives), is turn the entire archive into something you can publish on the web. Look at this! https://shellsharks.com/toots/infosec-exchange/shellsharks/. This is all my posts from my infosec.exchange days in one gargantuan web page on my site. In all its insignificant splendor. (More details on how I did this are on that page).
Happy data owning everyone!

"text": "I've seen many-a-person annoyed or otherwise dissatisfied by the fact that your posts on one Fedi instance don't move with you when you switch instances. (There's some obvious technical reasons for why this is the case that I'm not going to explain here.) This is why having your own website is so important and can be so valuable! If there's something you've posted on social media (or wherever on the web) that's worth saving, then why not make a copy of it and have it published on a web site? Your website!\n\nI like to refer to this as \"Reverse Syndication\", but for those of you that speak #indieweb, you've probably heard of #PESOS (\"Publish Elsewhere, Syndicate Own Site\"). Basically it means that what you publish FIRST on social media, you make a copy of on your site. This could be as an archive, a canonical representation, a data ownership/soverignty play, w/e!\n\nI've used a ton of social media sites, sites like Reddit, and switched Fedi instances multiple times. Across these years (at least since I've been bathed in the glorious light of the Indieweb), I've been PESOS-ing things I think I want to hold on to to my site. The vast majority of these things I file away as \"notes\" (https://shellsharks.com/notebook). This allows me to A. archive things as I've discussed, while B. not \"junking\" up my main RSS feed, or blog post timeline with silly reverse-syndicated social media posts/micro-blogs. It takes a little bit of effort, (unless you have some fancy-pants automated PESOS-ing system), but the pay-off is huge imo.\n\nSo let this be your answer for \"I wish I could transfer my old social media posts to my new social media platform\"\n\nAnother thing you can do, specifically with Mastodon (but likely with other post archives), is turn the entire archive into something you can publish on the web. Look at this! https://shellsharks.com/toots/infosec-exchange/shellsharks/. This is all my posts from my infosec.exchange days in one gargantuan web page on my site. In all its insignificant splendor. (More details on how I did this are on that page).\n\nHappy data owning everyone!"

I have an idea:
RSS doesn't handle updates very well. By "very well" I mean at all. In most clients, the only way would be a new ID but that's new page god damnit!
We had those amazing "what' new" pages and I think those would be great to have *in* RSS. Would you use it?
(no option "why not both" as the question is if *you* would use it)
#rss #indieweb #SmallWeb
I want full content in RSS
I would use i as a notification (I go to the page)

The point is: reality is always frustratingly more complex than we would like it to be. We’re in a complex capitalist system, where both literally and metaphorically, there is no free lunch. I don’t want it to stay like this, and nor should you. But making changes to these systems will require messy, coordinated efforts into all sorts of ethical conundrums. And just because those conundrums exist, doesn’t meant mean we shouldn’t act.
How does this relate to #selfhosting, you ask?
Well, I think we can still address concerns 1 and 2, without falling into the intellectual trap of 3.
Many big tech companies offer free tiers. If you are hosting an #indieweb service, you probably don’t have the benefits of scale that those companies do.
Leverage those free tiers by using AES-256 encryption BEFORE it hits their servers. You keep the keys secure. The files can sit on those public storage places, and it can’t be used for any data mining, because it’s encrypted gibberish to them.
You then use what’s available to you to actually help further the indie web that we want to see. We can use those services to HELP us get away from reliance on big tech, until we can get things to a scale to stop using those services.

Ok this is actually today's show! Now on demand and very soon on all good Podcast apps.
"But I can't find it on Spotify"
Yeah I said all GOOD podcast apps, not all good podcast apps plus some shitty walled garden run by a bunch of cunts, plus Daniel Elk isn't a real elk.
All good podcast apps, including Podcasting 2.0 (I hope).

Since I'm constantly writing right before midnight, I sometimes accidentally fugg up the timezone syncing, and then my blog posts don't automatically push to Mastodon.
So, today, I'll be sharing this one manually.
Today on Nova Prime, I write about how and why you should maintain a website, why I do, and how you might stay invested in doing so, far into the future, much like I have and continue to do.
