Αυτή τη στιγμή πιο βρώμικη από την Γκεστάπο, μπορεί η αστυνομία του Τορόντο να ανανεώσει την εικόνα της με τη στρατολόγηση μιας συγκλονιστικής νέας Μασκότ? https://jungyulkim.com/free-press/el/articles/καναδιανή-δημοκρατία-σε-κίνδυνο-ενώ-οι-όχλοι-του-τορόντο-κυβερνούν.html #News #Art #Canada #NewYork #Toronto #Mob #Crime #Indieweb #Headlines

I made my own webring: https://tar.dev/webring/join.php

I think webrings are an awesome way to connect an indie website to other people’s corners of the interwebs. It’s always fun to find a website I wouldn’t have found otherwise, just because the algorithm doesn’t know I would be interested in seeing it. So, wanting to make another chain of connections, I made this webring that you can join if you have a SFW website

Added this page to the online services section of my documentation website. It's a list of free (also ad-free) and mostly temporary file-sharing websites run by volunteers or small teams (it seems). Let me know if there are others that I should include in my list.

I added a couple of new things to my #PersonalWebsite, an Upvote button inspired by @eclecticpassions and a "This week in other years" section featuring posts from years before made in the same calendar week (despite 500+ posts I still don't have enough for an "On This Day" kinda thing).

I'll write a quick post about these later :P

Getting steady blog traffic but barely any email subscribers?

This usually isn’t a traffic problem — it’s a conversion problem. Small things like weak CTAs, poor placement, or no clear incentive can make a big difference.

I put together a breakdown of the most common reasons and fixes:

So... I'm currently working on an app I'm calling "speakEZ". It's a personal, kinda-discord replacement.
- invite-only chat
- built on Cloudflare Workers (free tier), KV, and Durable Objects
- async ed25519 passphrase auth (phrase never stored or seen outside of your brain)
- No accounts, no database
- WebSockets, markdown, image uploads
- WebRTC p2p voice channels
- tdd unit/e2e

Been working on a blog post idea about how the 'old', real more simple web is still around, usable, fuck the big corpo garbage web, and so on. Been seeing other great pieces on it, gathering ideas, wanna reference them, etc. Wanna collect all of them and say something intelligent about it but wow it's gonna take a while to collect it all and write it up 😂 But be assured, it's on its way eventually. Hopefully sooner than later. I want it to be almost like a brief, simple roadmap for the real web.

@aardrian much as I’d appreciate you joining it’s not my habit to cajole or prod on busy people for extracurriculars… tho there is an iCal feed for FrESH events. See https://events.indieweb.org/tag/fresh #indieweb

#halfquill update!

Stories are interactive now. You can write new sections, leave comments, and react to what others have written.

Also: you can now skip up to two plots during the daily exercise if one isn't sparking anything.

Would love your feedback: https://tally.so/r/A7x4KW

Linkblog March 26, 2026: On typing



Welcome to my Linkblog where I share interesting articles and blog posts I found about social media, Indieweb, geopolitics, Chinese and Malaysian stuff, cute cat videos or anything funny and interesting I find online.

FYI: I also share links in the “Weekend Tales” of my Substack newsletter, Tai Tales. The newsletter is geared towards Chinese and Malaysian culture.

PS: I felt it was appropriate for this issue to use AI-generated imagery 😉

Nostalgia for word processors

The Digital Dilemma: Why Writers Are Abandoning Modern Word Processing Software

“Modern word processors, like most contemporary internet spaces, have become battlegrounds for our attention.”

I long for the days when a word processor was just a blinking green thing on a black screen 🥲

Your Word processor is distracting you

Each time I use a web-based word processor, my blood pressure just goes up. These days you never get a peaceful moment when you’re writing on one of those. You get interruptions galore – hey, would you like a tour? Hey! Did you know about this feature? HEY! WE GOT AI NOW

That’s why I write with Obsidian these days. So peaceful. No bloody interruptions. I use it to write almost everything. Blog posts, work copy, fiction, newsletters.

How to Use Obsidian for Writing and Productivity

Speaking of which, this is how you use Obsidian for writing.

We Malaysians sure love our malls. It’s our community centre, place of work … some malls even have condos above it!

It’s kinda depressing this video was released 12 years ago. At what point is “enough is enough”? 😅

Does AI “Threaten to Undermine Democracy” or is it already way too Broken?

The intersection of tech and politics! I love the channel, Internet of Bugs, and this is such a solid take.
