š Post Update! I add a few paragraphs about Webmentions and how I think (if you can configure them properly) they are one of the true wonders of the modern web enabling website-to-website communication š„
Finally got my personal site redeveloped after losing my old one (donāt askā¦). Decided to go with @astro and have been really enjoying the developer experience. You can find me at https://www.cwdegidio.com. My rss feed is available at https://www.cwdegidio.com/rss.xml.

Interesting piece from @anildash: The Internet Is About to Get Weird Again

RFC 9518: Centralization, Decentralization, and Internet Standards by @mnot
"This document discusses aspects of centralization that relate to Internet standards efforts. It argues that, while standards bodies have a limited ability to prevent many forms of centralization, they can still make contributions that assist in the decentralization of the Internet."

No not that web. The real web.

ā> The reason I keep on keeping-on with my blog experiment is summed up in a tidy 5 minute read care of Mr Knight (who has a serial habit of being able to organize #indieweb topics and post them in a way I would dearly love to articulate myself, but am happy to reblog, boost and propagate when I canāt say it better āš¾)
The Web is Fantastic (robb knight.)š”šIām not talking about the web as a whole, Iām talking about the open web. The come-do-cool-things-with-our-api web. The open standards web. The indie web.

From "Blogging is where it's at, again":
"[...] Iāve always believed the blog is the ānatural formā of posting on the web: a site of your own, that you control and set your own rules on content and discussion; where you can post whatever you like without worrying about āThe Algorithmā."
The post also mentions a cool OPML feature I wasn't aware of.

#IndieWeb folks, what say you of #ProjectGemini : https://hackaday.com/2023/12/29/the-gopher-revival-is-upon-us/
Generally speaking, anything that moves us towards #indieweb or #simpleweb is good in my book.
My 2023 Blogging Retrospect

@gavinanderegg @robb you're both very welcome at chat.indieweb.org if you want to join in with the #indieweb ongoing chat and regular meetups. We have a special #dev channel for builders too
Given my support for the #indieweb, personal websites and self hosting, you might wonder why I donāt have my own site there.
And the answer is twofold:
1. Almost anything valuable I do or say online can fall under the Gaming Reinvented umbrella, so I see no reason to post it on a personal account.
2. Iām very much someone who doesnāt like my name and āreal lifeā identity to be too well known online, and most personal sites revolve around those identities by default.
I reflect on the concepts and ideas that have improved my life in 2023.
