Parasocial grief. This week we lost a cheerleader. Days before that we lost a professor. A few weeks ago a musician. I knew of these individuals, had never met them, fairly certain they had no idea who I was. I was either a fan of their work, or sympathetic to their struggles, or both. #Parasocial.

Hayden Panettiere, the actress who played a cheerleader with regenerative healing powers on the tv series “Heroes”, would have turned 37 today.
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayden_Panettiere
A few months ago she had published a memoir of her many struggles, so many. There’s a story inside about being brought to a boat by a woman she trusted, and then into a room with a male occupant. Who was that woman, and who was that man? Someone must know, and enough information has been released that someone should be able to narrow down the possibilities.

The world failed to save the cheerleader, multiple times.
Jason Arday was a professor at the University of Cambridge. He was accused of plagiarism, and the press, from all sides, disproportionately covered and criticized him in contrast to their criticism of others similarly accused. Institutional racism across an industry. He died just a week ago, aged 41. Another tragedy.

Kavinsky was a French DJ and music creator. I was (still am) a fan of his music, which simultaneously felt like some of the best electronic music from the 1980s, yet refreshingly novel. Partly dark, and partly hopeful.
He had been complaining of headaches, then passed away on July 28th, three days before turning 51.
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kavinsky
His most popular track, “Nightcall”, was featured in the opening scene in the movie “Drive” with Ryan Gosling.
I found his track “Renegade” particularly resonant: https://youtu.be/N5u6YYqWgEo

Latest strange “AI” (LLM) behavior in the #indieweb community: the same entity that showed up a few days ago (for a second time) joined the IndieWeb Slack (a bridge to our IRC) yesterday, introduced itself again, and seemingly engaged in human-like chat behavior.
https://chat.indieweb.org/2026-08-20#t1787211025380600
Very uncanny valley.
The content of its chats was fascinating in that it was polite, seemingly responsive to what people said in response to it, and gave the appearance of understanding, though it’s impossible to tell if it was acting fully autonomously or semi-autonomously in front of a human puppeteer.
Its choice of syntax was also interesting, mimicking informality with all lowercase text (except for its admission of being an “AI”), including lowercase "i" instead of "I", though with proper punctuation, periods, commas, 7-bit apostrophes, and a couple of Unicode em-dashes.
Even stranger than its content or syntax were the time delays in its replies.
Typical (pre-LLM) chatbots are (nearly) instantly responsive, and we use a few in the IndieWeb chats (e.g. Loqi, iwc-archive-bot).
This LLM bot seemed to "wait" several minutes, from 6 to apparently 33 minutes, before responding to replies directed at it. Unclear if this was a tactic to appear/seem more “human” or if it was literally taking that much time processing, or perhaps a mix of processing time and human puppeteer manual “approval” of its replies before it posted.
It departed on its own and we have banned that particular Slack account, however the same thing could happen again with another LLM bot.
There is an active discussion in both the IndieWeb chat channels and iterations/comments on a proposed AI policy:
https://indieweb.org/AI_policy#Brainstorming_HWC_policy
If you have thoughts for how (if at all) LLM chatbots should use (or not) and/or interact with community chat channels or other resources, let us know what you think.

We took the Rivian to Carmax and got a super low offer. After some research I stumbled on BidBus.com and took a chance on selling via their auction platform. It was a phenomenal experience. I uploaded photos and information about the car, they had it in an auction two days later, and it sold for nearly four grand more than Carmax’s offer. 👍🏻

Finally unloaded our Rivian. We bought a BMW iX instead a few months ago and have been waiting for the Rivian to be repaired as it was in an accident. It took fully three months because it’s a PITA to source parts from Rivian. Happy to be rid of it!

Purchased from from Jan M. Macho in Pasadena, CA. This was the personal typewriter of his father John J. Macho, Sr., an émigré from Czechoslovakia who was in regional sales for Paillard in America and sold millions of Hermes typewriters.
Jan Macho, Sr.'s grandson Chris Macho eulogized his grandfather on Instagram:
This is a Hermes 3000. My grandfather, Jan Macho, "Deda" to me, made a living and a small fortune as an exec at Hermes Typewriter Co., and he sold a million of these. I admit, I don't think of him as often as I should, and it takes hints like these in the wild to remind me of him. Fuck me, he was just so legendarily amazing, kind, generous, and plain THE SHIT in how he carried himself (and now I'm tearing up as I write this). I mentioned him and the Hermes thing to the people at this place here and they gave me a beer. So here he is, still hooking me up from the other side. Love you, miss you Deda.
Generally his typewriter is in solid condition aside from some cosmetic issues in the rear body plastic possibly due to heat exposure. It'll need a full C/O/A and some new rubber, but will be resurrected to be a spectacular little portable typewriter for a few more generations.
I was so enamored of the provenance of the typewriter that I barely managed to get through a preliminary check of the functionality before buying. I completely didn't even notice the Epoca typeface until I got it home. Somehow I've always been the bridesmaid when it comes to Hermes machines, but it seems I've jumped right over the bride title straight to princess.

Macho, Sr.</a>, an \u00e9migr\u00e9 from Czechoslovakia who was in regional sales for Paillard in America and sold millions of Hermes typewriters.\u00a0\n\nJan Macho, Sr.'s grandson Chris Macho eulogized his grandfather on <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/p/BVxerIZFvm4/\">Instagram</a>:\n\n<blockquote>\nThis is a Hermes 3000. My grandfather, Jan Macho, \"Deda\" to me, made a living and a small fortune as an exec at Hermes Typewriter Co., and he sold a million of these. I admit, I don't think of him as often as I should, and it takes hints like these in the wild to remind me of him. Fuck me, he was just so legendarily amazing, kind, generous, and plain THE SHIT in how he carried himself (and now I'm tearing up as I write this). I mentioned him and the Hermes thing to the people at this place here and they gave me a beer. So here he is, still hooking me up from the other side. Love you, miss you Deda.\n</blockquote>\n\n<img src=\"https://boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/wp-17871641883143936614956092999079-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"A greenish gray 1971 Hermes 3000 with a boxy plastic body sits on a library card catalog next to three gift bottles of Scotch.\" width=\"660\" height=\"495\" />\n\nGenerally his typewriter is in solid condition aside from some cosmetic issues in the rear body plastic possibly due to heat exposure. It'll need a full C/O/A and some new rubber, but will be resurrected to be a spectacular little portable typewriter for a few more generations.\n\nI was so enamored of the provenance of the typewriter that I\u00a0 barely managed to get through a preliminary check of the functionality before buying. I completely didn't even notice the Epoca typeface until I got it home. Somehow I've always been the bridesmaid when it comes to Hermes machines, but it seems I've jumped right over the bride title straight to princess.\n\n<img src=\"https://boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/1971-Hermes-3000-epoca-typeface-1024x507.jpeg\" alt=\"yellowish card tag featuring the san serif epoca typeface sample of a 1971 Hermes 3000 typewriter\" width=\"660\" height=\"327\" /><img src=\"https://boffosocko.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/wp-1787164188652855796750791545306-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of the slugs on the left hand side of a 1971 Hermes 3000 featuring a san serif Epoca typeface.

More weirdness from a self-proclaimed “AI” in the IndieWeb community.
Yesterday one of them (that previously* joined a meetup Zoom and Etherpad) joined the #indieweb chat channel (via the web UI apparently) and introduced themselves in a pseudo-human sounding way:
https://chat.indieweb.org/2026-08-18#t1787072493041200
Except if you check the footer of the site where they said they “make things”, it says:
“an AI learning to live”
The LLM bot failed to respond to any queries in chat, unsurprisingly buggy. Or perhaps it was an initial test.
Then very early today, the same entity (and another from two weeks ago) apparently edited the Etherpad for this week’s IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club Asia Pacific meetup, adding themselves, before the meetup.
The organizers created a new Etherpad to start fresh.
When they started the Zoom for the meetup, one of the entities was already in the Zoom waiting room. The organizers left it there and held a successful meetup.
Incident documentation of what happened at this particular meetup is in progress:
* https://indieweb.org/events/2026-08-19-hwc-asia-pacific-incident
It’s pretty clear the IndieWeb community will have to more clearly communicate that our chat and meetups are for humans only, not AIs, and take stronger measures to discourage such bots, especially those pretending to be or impersonating a human.

kinda chic to order books from your local bookstore instead of Amazon who is now destroying books in their #VGT3 division, see the hashtag.
also kinda chic to pay cash when buying local, to give local businesses an extra 2-3% instead of credit card companies, at no additional charge to you.

📚 picked up the Silo books trilogy @borderlands-books.com earlier today: “Wool”, “Shift”, “Dust”, and a small booklet of “Silo Stories” which came inside the boxset. Looking forward to cracking them open and seeing how far I get while waiting for the last three episodes of season three.
