In 2024, I hosted the IndieWeb Carnival blogging event for the first time and it was a ton of fun!

This May, I'm hosting another one and while we wait for that, a fellow host Zachary (who is currently hosting one, you should check it out, links in post) hosted a Q&A on his site.

I was happy to participate and shared my answers in my blog as well.

Been having some fun with website themes lately, here's a detailed blog post of how I manage them

https://grgml.xyz/blog/simple-themeing-strategies-for-simple-websites/

#css #theme #indieweb

Calling people who write their own #websites by hand, or appreciate those who do!

Do you have a favourite #links page style? It's been ages since I've composed a website manually. I'm avoiding CMS for now, just doing it the hard way with #html and #css, but want to make an attractive table of links to other sites, and a bit of blurb about them.

Seeking minimalist style and maximum #accessibility .

Thanky'all

Amicə, che motore di ricerca usate per trovare informazioni nello #smallweb ?

Ovvero tutti quei siti / blog indipendenti

Ogni tanto raccatto qualcosa qua e la tramite HackerNews e qualche motore trovato in giro, ma vorrei sapere cosa usate come bussola per navigare questo mondo più indie

Boost apprezzati, ho proprio bisogno di smettere di cercare su Google e simili che non funzionano più!

I started writing a blog post about boredom, and then I saw that the Bear Blog carnival prompt for February was boredom!

I'm pretty happy with how my response turned out:

Content warning:Article: Gamified... Pornography?

When the Online Safety Act came into effect, I considered writing a blog post investigating exactly how difficult it made it to access Pornhub. But it turned out to be boringly easy (it's not NOW, of course!), so I didn't. So here's a different discovery I made about the site...

Not only are workloads increasing, by hollowing out their junior ranks, businesses are putting themselves squarely in the path of a slow-burning demographic time bomb as seniors begin to retire in record numbers.

"There won’t be an endless supply of experienced hires to fall back on, so everyone will be fighting for the limited, increasingly expensive talent with domain expertise"

What exactly is the tech-industry's endgame here?

At tonight's San Diego #IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club I blogged. It's maudlin but when I read it back to myself I felt alright about it. There's so much to be done. https://artlung.com/blog/2026/02/03/hwc-freedom/

Scheduled more podcast episodes. I *love* places that let you do this! Makes me look far more productive than I actually am!

RSS, Syndication, and the Future of the Web

This is a potted history of blogging, podcasts, and why I think things might not be so grim for the future of the web. 🔄📡 #RSS #WebDev #OpenWeb #IndieWeb #Syndication #Podcast

I built a postroll for my site using Linkding (self-hosted bookmark manager) and Flora (static site generator that @nickv created).

It's still a work in progress, but I'm already happier with it than my previous blogroll, which didn't give me enough granularity:

As redes sociais nos ensinaram a nos cercar de iguais. Mesmas opiniões, mesmos repertórios, mesmas bolhas. A desgraça do algoritmo reforçando isso o tempo todo: quanto mais previsível você for, mais ele te entrega versões de você mesmo.

Mas o blog faz o contrário porque ele abre uma porta para desconhecidos. Pessoas que você nunca viu, de cidades que você não conhece, que hegam ali por caminhos improváveis.

Elas leem sobre sua vida, suas ideias, seus tropeços. Às vezes deixam um comentário. Às vezes mandam um e-mail. Às vezes só passam… Mas tenho certeza absoluta que elas sempre levam algo!

Em: Todos deveríamos blogar mais (e nos conectar mais com estranhos!)
