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!

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.

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! π

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 tooβ¦

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.

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.
