I weaponized my blog to incentivize writing.

Track card is a fun little thing I made that lets you save your latest @crucialtracks entry as a shareable image. 🎡

Rolling out: Come get lost in weirdnet

weirdnet.org is a hand-made map of the small, weird, personal web: 45,589 links in 314 categories, a 1996 look, a Random button, a link dump with RSS, old recipes, crazy letters and a guide to starting your own site. Come get lost.

Ever wondered what over 20 years of doing art looks like?

The not-so-secret Archive contains my full body of work starting from age 6, with a short summary for each year.

Can you lose your artistic skill and regain it years later? Well... yes. Come see:

I've added some Knowember buttons you can use to point visitors to your answers. Five colour combos to pick from. Grab one, link it, job done.

Somebody still says welcome to my homepage and means it. More Than Equations is a teacher's site, with course materials and math explorations inside. The web's gotten louder. This front door just says hello.

I have created a /photo page on my website, to share a single photo. https://roylindauer.com/photo

Kinda fun! I take a lot of photos but maintaining a proper gallery on my website is tedious and is too easily abandoned. Sharing a single photo from time to time is much simpler!

Inspired by https://robertbirming.com/make-photo-pages/

I wrote a new #blog over on my site, "GeoCities Was A Place". It is a piece waxing nostalgic about how, once upon a time, the Internet had websites you could 'be from', and that cultures developed provincially in a way that brought community to millions of people.

Sometimes you just want your images in a different format. You'll see this feature in the next release of #ArtMenagerie!

@openmentions.com You could run a debate and a poll at once. Set up at least two pages - one for each position - and invite others to put forth an argument in support of their vote. #WebMention #BrainStorming

Time for another fun little blog event: Knowember, a "get to know your blogger" happening.

One photo, three questions, low pressure. Join any time in November.

Boosts are much appreciated, so more bloggers can find it. Thank you! πŸ™

My website is not under an open license anymore.

I switched to the Filthy Human Hands license because I don't like Creative Commons's stance on slop machines and don't believe in "open source" anymore (see https://jak2k.eu/post/fuck-open-source).

I also removed my dependence on slop-infested IndieWeb services. I already use my own IndieAuth server, but now removed Webmention support because that was running over Webmention.io. I don't think I'll add support for it again because I didn't get any mentions anyway. Maybe I'll get rid of IndieAuth too…

Why does Persistwise keep three copies of every post?

The Wayback snapshot is public and lives on archive.org. The IPFS copy is pinned through Pinata onto the public network, and its content ID points at that exact version, so any gateway can serve it. The saved copy sits on our own storage, so there's something to fall back on when an outside service is slow or down.

Each one covers a different way things go wrong.

Webmention for long or short posts

I finally got around to making a proper page for my projects. Bear Blog themes and add-ons, community blogging events, and a few small experiments, all in one place.
