The open web has an amazing amount of free content that is actually free, both freely accessible without payment and free of conditions to access. No tracking cookies needed, no logins needed, no ads needed.
A few examples: * blogs. my blog, and every other #indieweb blog (with the exception of sites hosted on content services that show ads without the consent of the blogger). Personal blogs are free to read because it’s a hobby and a way of keeping up with family, friends, colleagues, acquaintances, people we’ve met once at a conference, people that inspire us. * Wikipedia is free, largely donor supported, partly via donation banners. * Open Street Maps is free, similarly. * Internet Archive is free, similarly. * Government sites are free, supported by taxes. * Public library sites are free, similarly. * Museum sites are free, supported by their donors, and in-person visit fees. * University sites are free, supported by endowments and student tuitions.
There is plenty of free content on the open web, sustainably supported by non-toxic and non-surveillance models.
The open web as a whole does not depend on any particular business model.

Weird incident yesterday with self-proclaimed “AIs” joining an IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club meetup. They awkwardly edited the Etherpad, and apparently blanked/deleted chunks of content.
The meeting hosts reacted quickly to change Etherpad and Zooms and not re-admit the aliases that had claimed to be “AIs”.
Now we have an “AI policy” page on the wiki where we are documenting examples of the AI policies of: * individual personal websites * community efforts like blogging challenges (e.g. Blaugust) * contributions to the IndieWeb wiki * participants in IndieWeb meetups

Simple hashtag proposal for dates: datetags for the #indieweb
In summary by example: * #2026_08_04 ISO8601 YYYY_MM_DD date of this post * #2026_216 ISO8601 YYYY_DDD ordinal date of this post * #2026_08 ISO8601 YYYY_MM month of this post
Many of us posting on the indieweb often post about things in the past. Photos, events, or sometimes throwback posts. Hashtags communicate and aggregate what posts are about. Posts about the past are usually about a specific date in the past, or sometimes an entire month. Thus it makes sense to use hashtags for those dates and months.
I have been hashtagging such posts about the past for several years, and with some iteration have developed a convention that works for international readability, and is linked and indexed in #federated #hashtag systems like #ActivityPub (#Mastodon etc.).
Additional possibilities to explore: * yeartags — hashtags for entire years * timetags — hashtags for specific times, undated/floating times
After several web searches I didn’t find any prior proposals for hashtags for dates or times. Hopefully by hashtagging this post, future web searches will find this proposal.
Have you hashtagged your posts with dates or times? Share your examples!

I saw it in the Metreon IMAX theater when it came out in 2008. About 28 minutes of it was filmed in 70mm film using IMAX cameras. The movie switched aspect ratios when it switched from IMAX to normal film. The 2-Disc Special Edition Blu-ray also switched aspect ratios roughly at similar times. Nice to see that that was preserved.
The movie has incredible pacing. No extra moments. I had forgotten how many quotes originated from The Dark Knight.

🎞 watched “The Odyssey” at the Metreon in 70mm IMAX on opening weekend, and mostly enjoyed it. No spoilers in this post.
My pal Rohit (@rohit.khare.org) had bought tickets last year, had a spare, and invited me along last minute. After an early dinner at Cha Cha Cha (@chachachasf.com) we made our way to the Metreon.
There was a line to get in. I have never before seen a line merely to get into the IMAX theater. We only missed maybe 1-2 movie trailers.
Our seats were in the front row, only a few seats from the left edge. In general I would not recommend the front 3-4 rows at an IMAX theater because it requires craning your neck back, and lots of swiveling to see the entire screen. Ironically being near the corner helped minimize the latter. Despite being sold out, the seat to my left was empty so I was able to lean back kinda diagonally to take in most of the screen.
The film itself was excellent (as many others have said).
There were parts that felt like they dragged a bit, yet also parts that felt rushed, where a bit more build-up before resolution would have hit harder. The only negative of the experience was the seating location in the IMAX theater, and the rigidness of the seats (they’re quite old, not like newer, plushier reclining seats that most theaters have upgraded to.)
The best part of The Odyssey is despite all the action, it dives into a number of philosophical and other intellectual challenges, illustrated by the situations encountered and paths taken.
I recommend seeing this film with nerdy friends on the earlier side, grabbing dinner after and discussing the nature, ethics, decisions, actions of the characters, and consequences thereof.

Ironically being near the corner helped minimize the latter. Despite being sold out, the seat to my left was empty so I was able to lean back kinda diagonally to take in most of the screen.<br /><br /><a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MPA_greenband_intro_card_(Toy_Story_4_greenband_trailer).png\"></a><br />The film itself was excellent (as many others have said). <br /><br />There were parts that felt like they dragged a bit, yet also parts that felt rushed, where a bit more build-up before resolution would have hit harder. The only negative of the experience was the seating location in the IMAX theater, and the rigidness of the seats (they\u2019re quite old, not like newer, plushier reclining seats that most theaters have upgraded to.)<br /><br />The best part of The Odyssey is despite all the action, it dives into a number of philosophical and other intellectual challenges, illustrated by the situations encountered and paths taken.<br /><br />I recommend seeing this film with nerdy friends on the earlier side, grabbing dinner after and discussing the nature, ethics, decisions, actions of the characters, and consequences thereof.<br /><br />I definitely want to see it again.<br /><br />#<span class=\"p-category\">TheOdyssey</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">Odyssey</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">Odysseus</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">IMAX</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">70mmIMAX</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">IMAX70mm</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">Metreon</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">Blaugust</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">Blaugust2026</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">2026_199</span> #<span class=\"p-category\">20260718</span>"
