So this is new (to me). Gmail now marks outgoing links to "unknown" domains as "suspicious" and "might be harmful".

About the half of the indie websites and blogs in a recent newsletter popped up this warning!

How many people are going to ignore this warning or click on Show Details to see that there's *nothing actively harmful* about the site? They just haven't paid their protection money, I guess. 😠

"Suspicious," indeed. Google is flat-out evil.

Podcast AP

Here’s a handy service that allows you to follow a Mastodon account that updates when a new podcast episode is released from any podcast you like.

#podcast #mastodon #fediverse #rss #feeds #following #subscribe

I'm reading a lot about #ActivityPub, #indieweb and the #fediverse at the moment. I don't necessarily understand all of it, but it's cool. As a complete noob to this kind of thing, do you think it's worth me investing time into learning about servers, hosting, syndication, coding etc.?

Long term goal is to maybe have a blog where I own all the data on it and know where it sort of goes. I'd also like to access info like on reddit but without a corp involved. Easy and fun or complicated and slow?

ActivityPub – The evolution of RSS

Are likes on #Mastodon supposed to be synced to #WordPress via #webmention? It worked for me months ago until I switched to #Cloudflare, and I only got things working again after finding a solution to simply posting to Mastodon and getting replies to sync to my site.

#Indieweb

Added a couple WP-CLI commands to
#IndieBlocks’ development version. These help me clean up and repair webmention avatars that I’d messed up experimenting in the past.

Then fixed the ol’ theme up a bit.

#indieweb

Not sure if I’ve shared this here before or not, but either way here goes… If you find yourself on a lot of teleconferences (Teams, Zoom, etc) and you need a little diversion, try Conference Call Bingo. I made it and it's ugly but it pretty much works.

@mike I'd like to suggest @manton as a future #DotSocial guest. Watching my recent chat with him (link below) will give you an idea of how much he's contributing to the #IndieWeb and #Fediverse communities. cc: @miaq

.. if we want a true #indieweb we must be prepared to fight for it. Hope is not enough. H/T @twoodwar & @Downes https://www.fromjason.xyz/p/notebook/any-technology-indistinguishable-from-magic-is-hiding-something/

Thinking of tiny self-hostable apps that can also be composed together.

My first one is `/threads`: https://ayco.io/threads -- a way to select social posts and (in the future) offer fine-grained topical subscriptions.

Depending on your requirements & resources, you can also have your own threads deployed on your site, either of the two options
- personal.site/threads
- threads.personal.site

Though I still have to write down instructions and make that easy

This post by @Daojoan is spot on, and the reason I decide to (re)launch @indieaisle. I would add that you should use tools, resources, and other people to help develop your site. Work with a designer, a developer, a template, a system. BUT understand how it all works together and how you can make changes if you need to.

New bookmark: ActivityPub on a (mostly) static website.

There have been other attempts to document the process of bringing ActivityPub to a (mostly) static site, but this is my favorite so far. I wonder if I should give it a go, if POSSE ever stops serving my needs.

"I see EchoFeed as (to merge my own words with Kev's) a
no-hassle cross-poster for the IndieWeb
. For independent
writers to syndicate their posts to social networks. EchoFeed is the
(second) S in POSSE."

Ended up being overwhelmed by awesomeness on my hunt for digital garden examples today.

I'm honestly impressed that my laptop fan isn't screaming at me over the number of open tabs I have right now!

Planning to do a full write up on my favorites tomorrow.

New Brain Rot!

"For me Severance is a perfect example of current TV drama state. You can clearly see that it was made with passion, it could have been great. But screw that, let’s have it for four years. Fill her up, please."
