The Foundation's Managing Director, @josh, recently completed a migration from managed Matrix with EMS to self-hosting using the matrix-docker-ansible-deploy project. It was a tricky process, so we're sharing the details!
Whether or not you're migrating homeservers, or setting up a fresh homeserver, the matrix-docker-ansible-deploy project greatly simplifies getting started with self-hosting.

I have added some XSLT & CSS to my blog RSS feed so as not to frighten away non-techie users who stumble upon it (and also to encourage them to get an RSS Reader):

Should I read anything into the fact that the #Microformats 2 plugin hasn’t been updated in six years? #WordPress #IndieWeb
If there is sufficient interest, I’d love to find two or three other motivated developers to work with. I think I’m onto something, but its slow going on my own. I’ll get it to production eventually, but building a vibrant community is appealing to me. If you’re interested, hit me up. #IndieWeb
As I have shared, I’ve been working on a new platform for my website, built with Python, Flask, and DuckDB. Its fast, stores content on disk as JSON files, supports many “kinds” of content, IndieAuth, Micropub, etc. Its not open source, but I’d be curious to know if there are any develolpers out there who would be interested in collaborating. #IndieWeb

I posted about this in a reply earlier but I updated my website today! I don’t post very often on there, or at least haven’t in the past, but that was partially because managing it felt super clumsy. I am a developer but when I just want to post something or share something, I don’t want to have to go into Terminal or write markdown or whatever. I wanted a static site with a GUI admin and *finally* found a framework I like. Blog post soon but for now…new site!
Talking about "The Software Industry" makes about as much sense as talking about "The Music Industry".
It's the least interesting slice of both creative practices.
Look to the edges, the boundaries, the borders.
Further thinking on cold-blooded software, this is perhaps a bit spicy, but from a pure business perspective warm blooded software is not ideal.
Fundamentally, unserious in fact.

Was asked about #fediverse vis-a-vis #indieweb on a podcast. I said:
“Two identical twins separated a birth.”
That was a spur of the moment thought, but probably not wrong.
Can we reunite the family?
One of the reasons to own your content is to make it last. When you have control of the text you write or the photos you post, it’s up to you whether that content stays on the internet. When you post to someone else’s platform, you’ve given up that control. It’s not up to you whether the company that hosts your content will stay in business or change everything to break your content.
I’ve expanded on my toot about LinkedIn’s collaborative articles, on my blog 😀
