IndieAuth for WordPress 4.4.0 Released - December 2, 2023

Sigh. Runaway disk usage on the machine I use to my host ActivityPub servers is coming to a head: despite my regular maintenance, each week there's another 1% of disk space I can't easily reclaim.

I was hoping to put this project off for a few more weeks :blobcatnotlike:

If anybody has hot tips about reclaiming disk space that relates to Ubuntu, Mastodon, BookWyrm, or Pixelfed, I'm all ears!

✍️ Hexo, WebFinger and better discoverability

Inspired by a post from @maartenballiauw, I've implemented his approach of providing a downloaded WebFinger file via my Hexo-powered, i.e. static, blog in order to achieve better discoverability via my own domain on #ActivityPub platforms like Mastodon. It works, but it has its drawbacks. The #Fediverse is simply not the #IndieWeb.

With December comes Christmas season, and i just happen to change my site decor to fit a bit more with the theme:

@jjude Hey, thanks for asking. #Emissary is a new server for individuals and small groups that combines #ActivityPub, #RSS, and #IndieWeb. The app is very flexible, so developers can reprogram most of its behavior, while still empowering non-techies to manage their own personal servers.

Most of the core is done, but ActivityPub support has been a big challenge. So, it’s not ready for the real-world yet, but I’m excited about the progress.

What are good places to blog? Something that is free, not full of ads or annoying things and ideally has at least a few options for customization? I‘m aware that wordpress exists. I was thinking of something that might not be on my radar…

#blog #fediverse #indieweb

Everyone's adding cool API-derived "currently playing" music indicators to their personal sites and I wanna play too! But I could really just do one that does a coin flip and chooses to display either the Mountain Goats or Adeem the Artist on each build and that'd probably be just as accurate tbh.

#TheMountainGoats #AdeemTheArtist #IndieWeb #PersonalSites

There is a (small) chance, that I might publish more regularly on my blog from now on.

#IndieWeb and proud of it

I have seen this argument a lot (especially each time #Mastodon or #indieweb have another cultural moment) and I'm coming to agree with it more and more.

A Faircamp Guide for Lazy People, by Lazy People

Or, how I learned to stop using Bandcamp and start embracing free and open music distribution tools.

This post is going to serve as a somewhat quick and dirty guide for tech-literate music producers to spin up your own Faircamp site. For those of you not comfortable with the steps I’m about to outline, there are Faircamp hosting services […]

@aaronpk You are right, I missed your home page (because somehow green fell into the background). I am thinking a lot these days about (and buying) websites in between: professionally managed but not “you are the product to be sold” ones. Paid-for independent services. https://sr.ht, https://fastmail.fm, etc. #IndieWeb

@aaronpk I am certainly not the first one who noticed that the former champion of use-your-own-server and #Indieweb has as his three links only corporate monosilos, right?

The new #Kurzgesagt video is a really good lay summary of #SocialSorting and a rallying call for an #indieweb style web and a return to BBs. I did groan when the narrator referred to "the pre-social media internet that old people might remember" 👴https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fuFlMtZmvY0&source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&feature=emb_title

Re-introducing Bridgy Fed

“IndieBlocks v0.10.0”

I should probably blog about this over at the IndieBlocks website, but whatever. So, what’s new in version 0.10.0? Well, webmentions for replies. That is, the plugin is now able to also send webmentions for comments that themselves are replies to a comment that originated as a webmention. (Makes sense? Good.) Doesn’t matter whether those […]
