Shiny new single-user server #introduction

Hi, my name is Coby and I like to play videogames, make music and write words and code!

Non-coding stuff:
Lately I have been playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Diablo IV. I'm looking forward to Starfield.
Sometimes I write about nothing in particular on my blog which you can find in my bio.

Coding stuff:
For work I am working on tools for decoupled
#JavaScript / #TypeScript front ends for headless CMS solutions aka #Jamstack things. At home I have been working on #IndieWeb things like #Webmentions and a blog engine built on #Obsidian. I'll also be helping out with the Drupal JS client.

I went through a coding bootcamp in 2020 and I'm interested in helping underrepresented people get into the industry, please don't hesitate to reach out!

@judell @bonaventuresoft Whoa! Those feeds are great! I just subscribed to one for #indieweb

https://indieweb.social/tags/indieweb.rss

I wonder if I should do that on a huge instance instead:

https://mastodon.social/tags/indieweb.rss

✅Finally set up my h-card, and validated it with indiewebify.me - sort of.

Indiewebify.me wasn't fetching my site, but it's open-source and fairly simple, so I grabbed a copy from Github and installed it, only to find it expected an ancient version of Guzzle.

No problem! Only a couple of places needed to be updated and now there's a PR to indiewebify.me for newer Guzzle: https://github.com/indieweb/indiewebify-me/pull/112

But, on my localhost, I was able to validate my h-card. On to the tricky bit: figuring out the best way to mix short posts and long posts, and make them Activitypub-Ized and Webmentionable.

@kev

You are FRICKIN' awesome!!! Thank you for taking this stance AND sharing it with us! Yes, this is indeed why I am here (in the #fediverse, on #Mastodon, with #indieweb.social).

#ZeroInterestInMeta #Meta

This is a pretty great set of #indieweb principles to build an online presence upon. Think it gels very well with #fediverse values also.

https://minutestomidnight.co.uk/personal-manifesto/

Arguably, the most important blog post I ever wrote. A sort of personal manifesto on my site.

After I stopped promoting myself as if I were a brand, I needed to put my foot down and declare what I stand for, on the only place that's not going away: my personal website.

So, here it is. A personal manifesto, where I touch on these topics:

https://minutestomidnight.co.uk/blog/personal-manifesto/

#MentalHealth
#Sustainability
#Technology
#SmallWeb
#IndieWeb
#SocialMedia

Indieweb.social has 248 patrons pitching in $747.40 a month to help support the operation of this Goldilocks-sized Mastodon instance.

I moved here seven months ago to live close to the #indieweb.

I don’t have much to add to the Meta vs. the fediverse debate beyond what John Gruber has written about. Big platforms using open APIs is a good thing! Much better than closed silos and locked-down APIs. I don’t trust Facebook either, but preemptively blocking them is shooting ourselves in the foot.

Two anniversaries today: microformats (18y) and POSSE (11y).

Happy 18 years of https://microformats.org/ #microformats!

Most prominent this past year (again) has been the littlest #microformat that could:

rel=me — AKA #relMe, now effectively the standard for #distributed #verification on the web:
* https://microformats.org/wiki/rel-me (originally introduced in 2004¹)

with support added in the past year for:
* #GitHub multiple rel-me links²
* #Wikipedia User page rel-me link³


#POSSE, short for “Publish (on your) Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere”, as a term of use is now 11 years old³, which is surprising since when it was conceived, the #IndieWeb community was in a period of very rapid innovation & iteration.

POSSE itself replaced a previous term, "POSE", short for “Publish Once Syndicate Everywhere”, which had only been around a year or two at most (I’m still looking for the first use of the "POSE" abbreviation for that meaning).

Since “publish once” was vague enough to include practices of publishing once on a social media silo, or in someone else’s garage⁵, we needed to clearly express the requirement to use your own site instead, first, as the source of your truth. Cross-posting to other sites & channels, is a second, optional step, ideally with a permalink linking back to your original post so viewers can easily discover and use your site.

That distinction was enough for POSSE to express a strong creator-owned-first publishing model that resonated and grew. Every time a silo shutdown⁶ at the end of its incredible journey⁷, removing posts & permalinks from the web, POSSE was there for people who were tired of losing their data, permalinks, & profiles, and wanted an alternative.

Looking for more #IndieWeb advice. I want to “just write” and I also want to “just code a perfect website with #ActivityPub ID, Webmentions, etc.” and am stuck.

Deprecated name is at https://johnthomas.tech and want to move to https://renegadejade.com.

No blog currently but my historical MO is a .md -> Git -> Netlify/Vercel workflow, previous with Jekyll and currently with Nextjs. In particular, I love Chakra UI. SSG complicates federation, though.

Is headless Wordpress + Nextjs a solid move?

Cloudflare puts me in a hard place. I'm trying to move towards a more #indieweb niche (which is taking time) but one of the services I need to find a way to avoid is #cloudflare. Don't get me wrong, its an awesome service, but so much of the internet depends upon it that I want to use something smaller.

The only problem is they provide so many services that migrating out will literally take years, if I can even manage it.
