I created two, nicely designed web pages for a client today on a Wordpress platform from scratch. I didn’t write any code, and was using the Elementor plugin, but I used no themes or predesigned elements. Just created my own look and now I know i can do that, so that’s pretty interesting. Opens up a lot of possibilities for me.
If you self-host services on the internet, you may have seen waves of crawlers hammering your websites without mercy.
To annoy them and protect my services from DDoS, I decided to setup an iocaine instance, along with NSoE... And it worked... Too well.
Recently, they started flooding my VPS so much it started choking.
If you followed me here on Fedi, you saw my journey to find a way to relieve my server.
This is a rant about LLM crawlers, and some observations & conclusions, along with some techniques to help you protect your own services.

Today on NovaLandia: "The Indie Web Renaissance: Personal Sites and Homebrew Clubs Thriving Amid Corporate Fatigue"
As centralized platforms continue to grapple with trust and control issues (shocker), the IndieWeb community is quietly gaining steam in 2026 through regular Homebrew Website Club meetups, upcoming In...

I made a speed reading utility for mi iOS devices. It’s a straight JavaScript bookmark let.

#indieweb
I know I keep using the word “lucidness,” but that’s the big contrast I see between early online diaries and modern blogs, even when we’re talking ‘#smallweb and #indieweb spaces.
Part of this is our digital reality. I mean, detailing your routines, whereabouts and relationships on the web wasn’t crazy clever back then and even less advisable now.
Beyond that, you get a real sense that these pioneering web writers were reaching into the unknown and making up the rules as they went along.
｢ IndieWeb is about building infrastructure, while Small Web is about building community ｣

Thanks to the #Indieweb geeks who liked or bookmarked my article 🙂
This is a beautiful vision of how the Web is supposed to be. You just mention, like or bookmark my link on your site, and that reaction just ends up on mine with no middlemen.
I think that the problem with most of the W3C and Indieweb recommendations is that the bridge between the specifications and the implementation is too often missing. And not many are akin to invest their precious time in crafting ad-hoc solutions that may be incompatible with others.
That’s the gap I’m trying to bridge with libraries like these, aiming to make the integration task doable in a dozen of lines of code at most in the happy case scenario.
Democratizing technology doesn’t mean to only come up with specs that other experienced developers can implement - it means to provide battery-included solutions that anyone can plug in their existing thing with low effort.
Ok I did it. I rebuilt my site using the latest version of #11ty. Check out my post about it if that's your jam.

There are a few nicer feelings than being emailed by someone whose blog you read that tells you that they read your blog as well. I love the #indieweb.

webmentions for Flask
I really need to do a similar writeup for my bash cgi-bin implementation. Receiving webmentions isnt hard for developers, there's really no need to be centralising on webmentions.io

A Deserving Conference https://sightlessscribbles.com/writing/fiction/20250919/ #Blog #Blogs #Blogging #IndieWeb #NoPaywall
Thursday! Tomorrow ~ Front End Study Hall and we will once again meet together on Zoom to learn some #HTML and #CSS https://events.indieweb.org/2026/02/front-end-study-hall-046-YAeOYNNmcoYq see you there! #IndieWeb
#brcrawl agora tem dois botões: reportar (pra você me avisar que algum blog que não devia acabou entrando) e esconder (esse é pra você não ficar vendo postagens de blogs que você não gosta).
today's web wrangling exercise has been figuring out rarebit. i think i figured it out more or less! behold, the comic blog has returned

It honestly is infinitely all kinds of sad that I syndicate my blog posts to Facebook, no external link, and everyone eats it up, but if I send someone a link to my website via SMS or something, I get, "Do you publish these on Facebook? Can I just read you on Facebook or Substack? I don't get why you made your own website. Strange."
I get it that my layout isn't for everybody but that's why I don't block reader mode. That's why I have full text RSS. I give *you* the choice but this only seems to alien people *more* not less.
It's refreshing to see how much better Bluesky and Mastodon work with an #indieweb syndication approach
When I've tried the same thing with Twitter in the past posts would be buried for including external links or the account would be shut down entirely

The Beautiful Web:
It’s not Web4 and it has always been there.
