The team @micro.blog have done it again.
They soft-launched https://micro.one yesterday¹.
This may be the most accessible onramp to the open social web ever.
Cost: $1 a month. Yes you read correctly.
This is the simplest and cheapest (where you are the customer, not the product) way to own your identity and content online².
Stop posting in someone else’s garage³.
Time to export your Twitter, and migrate your Mastodon handle to your own home on the web.
Of course you can bring your own domain name. Additionally:
* blog posts, naturally, both articles and microblogging notes
* photos
* podcasting
* custom themes
* web-clients and native mobile posting clients
* WordPress, Tumblr, Mastodon, Medium import
More details (and alternatives) at https://micro.one/about/pricing
And yes, it interoperates with the open #socialWeb, including:
* #ActivityPub support, #Mastodon and #fediverse compatibility
* #IndieAuth to sign-in to third-party apps
* #microformats support in all built-in themes
* #Webmention for sending and receiving replies across websites
* #Micropub standard posting API, supporting dozens of clients
* #Microsub standard timeline API, supporting social readers
More #indieweb support details at https://micro.one/about/indieweb
Did I mention the the superb micro.blog (and micro.one) Community Guidelines?
* https://help.micro.blog/t/community-guidelines/39
Well done @manton.org and team.

Yesterday https://last.fm/ (@lastfm) emailed their year in review reports, which they called #Playback24 and Last.Year.
Kudos to them for waiting until the new year to do so, and breaking with the pattern of services prematurely posting year in review summaries.¹
They’re also available on the web, without requiring a native mobile app to view.
Mine is here: https://www.last.fm/user/tantekc/listening-report/year
You can find yours (if you’re a last.fm user) by going here:
* https://www.last.fm/user/_/listening-report/year
The page title calls it your #YearInMusic, and the URL your #ListeningReport.
It has many interesting elements, from various top listened lists (artist, album, track), to what percent of 2024 listens (which they call scrobbles) were new artists, albums, and tracks.
Their “Top Tags” time chart is quite cool. Fascinating to see the differences in music listening over the seasons and the whole year.
The report has many interactive features, so it will take me some time to figure out how to save, export, and/or republish my listening report on my personal #indieweb site.
For now I used Firefox to save the page as an .html page to my laptop, and was quite impressed with how much of the information was available in that one file. Much more than #Spotify’s #Wrapped.
That’s step 1. Step 2 is figuring out a good way to blog at least some of it.

Goodbye Philips Hue 👋
I finally finished replacing all my Hue lights with Caseta switches.
While I will miss the color temperature control, I am excited that I can attach a switch anywhere that works and looks just like a normal switch, no wires needed!

The #indieweb is more than #independence. It’s also a web, of both personal sites and “third place” sites like aggregators, bridges, proxies, directories, indexes, and other community sites.
Broadly speaking, such “third place” sites include places we collectively contribute to, and which license our contributions for free use by others. While open source projects come to mind, perhaps a more obvious example is Wikipedia.
Similarly, the most obvious “third place” in the #IndieWeb community is our community site and wiki https://indieweb.org/ as well as the heterogeneous chat https://chat.indieweb.org/.
We also have many services run by individuals (or small teams) in the community, for the benefit of the community, like:
* @snarfed.org’s https://brid.gy/ and https://fed.brid.gy/
* @aaronparecki.com’s https://webmention.io/ and many others
* @martymcgui.re’s https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/ (IndieWeb Webring)
* @gregorlove.com’s https://indiebookclub.biz/
* @mat.tl’s https://libre.fm/

Just made eight weeks of waffles, going into the freezer now. Took almost 2 hours to cook the 8 batches. I should really get a second waffle iron cause it would literally halve the amount of time this takes.

I have no memory of ten years ago. It’s just…a blank space. A void. Weird, no?
I definitely remember the year before, 2014. It was the year my younger daughter was born, and it was also the year we moved from a house in the suburbs to a house in the country. While that ended up very problematic in some key ways (can you say rat mites & arsenic poisoning?!), I did really enjoy living on the outskirts of a small town. (Not saying I’d rush to do it all over again, but I’m grateful for the experience—and the redwood trees.)
I also remember the end of 2015 vividly—I was simply feverish with anticipation for the theatrical release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Yeah, can you believe it? The entirety of the Disney era of Star Wars can fit inside of the last 10 years. That is absolutely bananas.
Somehow 2015 just feels impossibly long ago to me. We were still in the Obama era. While now in January 2025 the nightmare of epic proportions that is the second Trump administration is nearly beginning, ten years ago Trump 1.0 hadn’t even happened yet. In fact, we weren’t even entirely out of the Bush age yet—remember Jeb!?
Perhaps the reason I can’t picture 2015 in my mind is that it was the last full year of my delusional period when I fancied myself an “apostle for Jesus”. You can read my “exvangelical” story here if you’re so inclined, but the facts are that 2016 was definitely the beginning of the end for me. However, in 2015 I hadn’t quite escaped the cult, and unfortunately my blogging suffered because of it. I mean, I actually interviewed a guy who I later ended up falling out with because he encouraged what I would call outright child abuse. (Beat the devil out of the little brats or something to that effect.) What the actual fuck?!
I suppose I’m glad to be living in 2025 and not 2015. It’s hard, but my eyes are wide open. I was blind, but now I see. My idea of what America is, what faith & #spirituality is, what family is, and what my life should be all about is radically different now than it was ten years ago. And, on the whole, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

When we say #ownYourData we mean whatever data is important to you, like the data services aggregate about you and present back to you. Owning that data means extracting it into a form you can hang onto regardless of what the service does in the future (or disappears), and publishing whatever aspects of it you wish to, on your personal #indieweb site.
Speaking of year in reviews¹ and #Strava Year in Sport in particular, here are my brief notes for how to get the info from it (before it disappears after the 6th!²) and save it locally so you can write and publish your own year in sport.
How to find your Strava: Year in Sport 2024
For 2024, the Strava Year in Sport 2024 is only available on the native mobile app (iOS and presumably Android) and not accessible via the website. Prior years which were available on the website e.g. 2018(.)strava(.)com and 2017(.)strava(.)com are long gone.
From the mobile app home screen, tap the "📋 You" button in the lower right corner.
At the top you should see:
"Play back your 2024" heading with an orange button:
[ See your Year in Sport ]
Tap that button.
Saving Seven Summary Segments
You should immediately see an animation start playing, with seven "segments" (like Instagram stories) at the top, gradually filling-in as progress indicators one at a time.
For each "segment" if you press the screenshot combination of buttons on your mobile (e.g. volume-up + power on iPhone 14), in addition to taking a screenshot it will put you in a "share" screen with one or more videos or still images to share in a carousel format.
For each item in the carousel (if there is more than one)
* tap the item in the carousel
* tap the "[↑] More" button at the bottom.
* scroll down the list of options up a bit
* tap "Save Video [↓]" or "Save Image [↓]" option to store it locally on your mobile.
The seventh "segment" is your overall summary, and shows all your sports combined.
Save it (as an image as noted above), then
* tap the "✏️ Customize" button
* choose an individual sport (e.g. "👟 Run")
* tap "Save changes"
* save that image (as above)
* tap customize again
* choose the next sport (e.g. "🚲 Ride")
* save changes again
* save image again
Strava seemingly only reports summaries of (up to?) two or your sports it appears. Those were Run (presumably all running, street and trail) and Ride for me.
Cleanup Your Screenshots
After having saved all the videos/images for each "segment", you can:
* go back to your mobile’s top level Photos app/stream
* delete the screenshots
You should see all the videos/images you've saved. If anything is missing, go back to the previous steps and save them again, then remove any duplicates as necessary.
Post Your Year In Sport
Go through your saved videos/images, and either post on your own site as-is, or use your mobile’s built-in image OCR to copy the text bits into a plain personal year in sport note summary post on your own site. Or some combination of both if you prefer.
Add other summaries of your activities and sports as you see fit, like:
* info on other sports (beyond running and biking), e.g. yoga, weight-lifting, bouldering etc.
* total days active (of 366)
* total distance (if applicable)
* total elevation (if applicable)
* total time
* number of races you ran, biked etc. (and finished, if not the same)
* number of miles (or km) you raced (per sport and/or total overall)
* number of (or full set of) awards or trophies you earned at races
* any other stats that you think of that seem interesting to you
For each of these annual numbers, you could also compute (optionally display) the percentage change from 2023, if you happen to have those numbers around.
This is also a good reason to at least total up these numbers for 2024, whether you publish them or not, for figuring out the percentage change in 2025 next year.
When you publish your own year in sport post, might as well re-use the existing #YearInSport hashtag too.
I have already saved all the videos/images from my own Strava Year In Sport, and as I assemble the pieces into my own post, I’ll take more notes, and add to the IndieWeb year in review page³ accordingly.
This post could also be improved with a few screenshots for a few of the steps above. I figured I’d publish my notes first to hopefully help some people sooner (since the Strava Year In Sport will disappear after January 6th as mentioned!). I might upload a few screenshots to the IndieWeb wiki later as well.

The first of a new year seems like a good day to assemble, aggregate, summarize and publish various year in review posts for the prior year.
When various online services create a year in review for you many weeks before the end of the year (whether #Spotify #Unwrapped or #Strava #YearInSport), it seems they are short-changing you.
No one asks for an 11 months in review (except HR departments, which is a different problem).
So why do people accept only an ~11 months summary when services provide such a premature “year” in review?
When people say things like “Make every day count” do they not also believe you should “Count every day”?
In this case, 2024 had 366 days. You should count every one of them, and every thing from every one of them.
Rather than “sharing” a premature year in review, request your “year in review” today on the 1st of the year from various services, extract the data you want, fill in any gaps, and post your year in reviews on your own site¹.

Welcome to 2025!
15 years ago today I began posting notes on my own #indieweb site first, and only later on #socialMedia: https://tantek.com/2010/001/t1/declaring-independence-building-it
You can too.
I am once again encouraging you start the year with:
1. Getting a personal domain name
2. Posting on your own site first, then syndicating elsewhere: #POSSE
In 2025 there are even more neighborhoods with other people’s garages¹ to post into. Companies, servers, services, disappear all the time, taking all their posts and permalinks with them to graveyard 404².
This is your annual reminder to embrace #independent ownership of your online self, your creations, and their #longevity:
* Own your domain -> own your online identity
* Own your permalinks -> own your posts
Want help? Just ask: https://chat.indieweb.org/
#ownYourContent #ownYourData
Once again I am restarting a #100PostsOfIndieWeb #100Posts project for the year.
This is post 1.

Welcome to 2025!
15 years ago today I began posting notes on my own #indieweb site first, and only later on #socialMedia: https://tantek.com/2010/001/t1/declaring-independence-building-it
You can too.
I am once again encouraging you start the year with:
1. Getting a personal domain name
2. Posting on your own site first, then syndicating elsewhere (#POSSE)
In 2025 there are even more neighborhoods with other people’s garages¹ to post into. Companies, servers, services, disappear all the time, taking all their posts and permalinks with them to graveyard 404².
This is your annual reminder to embrace #independent ownership of your online self, your creations, and their #longevity:
* Own your domain -> own your online identity
* Own your permalinks -> own your posts
Want help? Just ask: https://chat.indieweb.org/
Once again for this year I am restarting a #100PostsOfIndieWeb (#100Posts) project.
This is post 1.
