Hi, Fediverse and especially #envs pubnixers!

As you might have noticed, I moved my account from @fab to @dan. So it's time for a new #introduction!

I'm very sceptical about the corporate web social media and I always avoided Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and things like that like the plague. But the Fediverse isn't bound to corporate interests, federates and can be self hosted. These things made it interesting. And I was curious, so I made an account on the pleroma.envs.net instance of the envs.net pubnix.

I wanted to join a pubnix for a very long time and did a lot of research for the right one and I think I found the right one with #envs. My fellow pubnixers and tildizens seem to be a bunch of very nice and helpful folks, and I already made a lot of good experiences. But I had to choose the username 'dan', because 'fab' was already taken. So my shell account is now 'dan@envs.net' just like my email address and my webpage, Gopher Hole and Gemini Capsule can be found under the username ~dan. But I still had the @fab Mastodon/ActivityPub account, so I decided now to move to the new account @dan to make all my accounts with the same username on envs.net.

As I told in my previous introduction, I'm an enthusiastic computer, GNU/Linux and *BSD hobbyist, although I never worked in the IT field professionally. I like to tinker around with my little homelab and my own VPS servers running FreeBSD. I'm also interested in the #smolnet / #indieweb. And since Mon, 12 Jan 2026 I'm a proud member of the envs.net pubnix/tilde, where I can make some experiences on a shared multiuser Linux system with other makers, tinkerers, computer hobbyists and professionals, and other like-minded folks which is very intriguing.

I'm especially at home in the shell and keyboard-centric environments like AwesomeWM, which I use on all of my workstations running Artix Linux (OpenRC). I always prefer simple TUI/CLI programs over bloated GUI applications. My interest in different programming languages is diverse, be it Go, bash/sh, Rust, Python or even Perl. I try to use the language which fits best to the problem. But all I know about computers, Linux, Unix and the *BSDs I've learned-by-doing or to solve a specific problem or need.

I hope to have a lot of fun in the long-run on the envs.net pubnix/tilde, and that we're having a good time together.

That's it for my introduction for now, although I don't know if I'll post regularly on the Fediverse. You can always contact me on XMPP with my JID 'dan@envs.net' or via email too, if you like. So have fun!

Best wishes,
~dan

IndieWeb wiki pages I really like



I visit the IndieWeb wiki almost every day. The wiki is maintained by the IndieWeb community, documenting everything from interfaces for creating posts to POSSE..

Kanadští politikové nadále předstírají, že nejsou vydíráni. Bude tento nejnovější Torontská policie Recruit pomoci podvést Kanadu? https://jungyulkim.com/free-press/cs/articles/kanadští-politici-se-krčí,-jak-korupce-přebírá-ontarios-capital-city.html #News #Art #Canada #NewYork #Toronto #Mafia #Crime #Indieweb #Headlines

I have been looking at different small web directories lately and joined a few (some pending).

One of them is https://blogofthe.day/

My blog is selected for the day today! 🥰

I realized my Hugo theme switcher (which came with the theme I used) uses JS. I had to fix a bit of code to get the theme to look right with JS off (which is what happens I think when the site is being presented in an iframe.)

Thanks Joe @artlung and https://jamesg.blog/ for making this!

I'm so tired. People, I am not interested in reading *blogs* generated with claude, gemini or chatgpt. No, not even ones proofread by AI. Do it yourself. I do not wish to even accidentally click on "one-shotted" dummy projects. Don't show me your AI-generated analysis of anything. Above all, I do not wish to see images/artwork someone prompt created.

I value real content, with all its good and bad quirks, from actual human beings.

Somebody please normalize auto-tagging of AI generated content across all formats - text, images and code so I can blanket ban them from my personal computer.

This is a plead for help I never thought I'll have to make.

A post on a moment with a feathered friend - content warning - death.

If you want to understand why the site’s appeal is so limited, I tried to probe it in a #blog here: #indieweb #smallWeb https://www.content-lab.agency/2024/12/30/a-blogshaped-peg-in-a.html

Indie and small web friends, what do we like these days for adding comments to static sites? I really like my static site generator (Eleventy), but I do miss the nostalgic feeling of a comments section on a small blog

Small SEO changes can create big traffic wins.

I tested a simple idea: update the title of an article that was already ranking but underperforming on clicks.

No new content.
No backlinks.

Result → CTR increased by 40%.

It’s a reminder that many sites don’t need more posts — they need better optimization on what already exists.

I shared the full case study with data and the step-by-step framework here:

It's honestly un-real how much fun I'm having building this #IndieWeb reader. (https://crowdersoup.com/blog/post/note-1771375542/)

Another call for those with RSS feeds for personal blogs.
