Manual ads vs auto ads — which setup actually works better in 2026?

I broke down how both perform in real situations and what works best for smaller websites and blogs.

I've been slowly chipping away at this page on my days off, and it's finally finished! Check it out!

I can't stand what social media has done to the hobby scene. I know so many people on/offline who feel like they can't "waste time" on hobbies, especially if they can't use them to make a few bucks on the side.

Hobbies can be *so* beneficial to your well-being, so I say screw side hustle culture! Do fun stuff for yourself!

So is it ok if I put multiple `.u-bookmark-of` inside a singe bookmark `.h-entry`? #indieweb

The new site project is getting so close! Working through webmentions support, responsive design on mobile, CI/CD, and tests. After that, it’s migration time! I have a decent backlog of future improvements, but they can wait. Ready to be free of PHP and MySQL 😄

Nekoweb introduces SSI for static sites on their platform. Huge news for static site lovers. I could drop in a version of flamedfury.com from 1999 and it would render on Nekoweb. What a time to be alive

Ineffective enshittifi-traffic?
About 50 percent of web traffic is now coming from non-humans. Bots, crawlers, and agents are constantly moving across our servers in search for new pieces of content to absorb.

Hey mastodon, ça fait longtemps. En ce moment je m'entête à coder une galerie sur mon site perso. Pourquoi ? Déjà car ça m'amuse. Ensuite, je souhaite retrouver une liberté loin des GAFAM.
