Updated my test environment with fresh install of Statamic: https://test.czepeda.com. Still got a few more styling to-do’s to finish. Otherwise I gotta launch this week. I need to get a job! #statamic #indieweb #fedihired #remotejobs

ICYMI, Recent post thing was, How to block AI narrators on Audible. so consider adding my feed? https://robertkingett.com #IndieWeb #SmallWeb

Last week I started blogging again for the first time in a couple of years... and forgot to introduce who the hell I am 🤦‍♂️

So here we go, take two. This week's post is a short bullet list and photo gallery of my life story so far.

And yes, I'm shooting a perfect 2 for 2 on #IndieWeb shoutouts so far.

I posted How to block AI narrators on Audible. https://robertkingett.com/posts/6433/ #SmallWeb #IndieWeb

purely curious, if you have a moment:

what is the overlap (if any) of #indieweb & #smallweb fans with folks who love or support independent bookstores?

i'm a fan of indie bookstores!
i don't really support my local, independent bookstores.

Good Enough reminds me of OMG.lol. It's like a one-stop shop for all your #indieweb and #blogging needs. Love it!

We are Good Enough.

You could even add Feedle as a custom search engine in your browser with this URL:

https://feedle.world/search?query=%s

#feedle #indieweb #smallweb #rss

Added both of my blogs to Feedle. If you have a blog, you should do the same!

feedle: Search and Discover Quality RSS Feeds from Thousands of Blogs and Podcasts

Something simple like Feedle is exactly the thing I had in mind when I mentioned the need for a search engine for the IndieWeb. If you haven't already, check it out and consider adding your site or podcast's RSS feeds to the list. #IndieWeb

In 4 days it’ll be my 1 year anniversary on Mastodon. To say it’s been unexpectedly rewarding is an understatement.

I was just kicking the tires on a shiny new thing and cautiously curious about whether it would revive my interest in Twitter-style social media. I didn’t have high hopes because it was the kind of public discourse that I’d burned out on many years before.

So my expectations were that I’d give it a try, maybe have a healthy outlet while things went bad elsewhere.

What I didn’t expect is to reconnect with old friends, be inspired by his new friends in the #IndieWeb zoom hangouts, start using a feed reader again and feel the old writing juices stirring for the first time in years. Blogging makes feel like I’ve hopped into a DeLorean and am reliving 2004, one the best years of my life.

And the feeling is accelerating. Here I am, just two posts into my weekly challenge and already moved beyond words from Joe’s post about our friendship. I can’t wait to see what’s next.

40 years of Macintosh. I never thought of myself as a Mac person until I joined #DeviantArt and picked up my Obligatory Developer's MBP; that was over 12 years ago, and I never looked back.

But as it turns out, #MyFirstMac was a Powerbook G3 rescued from scrap; torturing its old hard disk with Yellow Dog Linux, it served my blog out of a home ADSL for over a year (until it unceremoniously died while I was a thousand miles away).

The spirit of the #indieweb was alive then, and it's coming back.

Flipboard has started its 3-phase process of joining the Fediverse!

1️⃣ Federating 25 publishers and creators
2️⃣ Let Fediverse people follow / engage with public curators on Flipboard
3️⃣ Let Flipboard people follow / engage with public accounts in the Fediverse

I just submitted a post to the IndieWeb Carnival on Positive Internalization, which, apparently, means far more than just happy memories. In so doing, I realised I have a happy memory to share from this day in 2009, which I don't think I have internalised.

I use #Eleventy to build both my personal and many of my community websites.

I use Eleventy's Global Data Files for these community sites to build the calendar, history timeline, sponsors, team and speaker hall of fame.

I've found it a very nice way to update the website as I just add or change data in small JSON files and everything else follows from there.

@snarfed.org posted a great overview of thoughtful (and sometimes heated) discussions across blogs and the #fediverse about how freely should “public” posts & comments on the web flow across sites:

“Moderate people, not code” (https://snarfed.org/2024-01-21_moderate-people-not-code)

If you are designing or creating any kind of publishing or social features on the web, this post is for you.

It touches on topics ranging from #contextCollapse to #federation to #moderation and everything in between.

Does your choice of publishing tool set expectations about where your content might propagate, or whether it will be indexed by search engines? Should it?

Do the limitations of your server (e.g. js;dr) imply limitations of where your posts go, or whether they can be searched or archived? Should they?

When you post something publicly, are you truly posting it for a global audience for all time, or only for one or a few more limited #publics for an ephemerality?

When you reply to a post, do you expect your reply to only be visible in the context you posted it, or do you expect it to travel alongside that post to anywhere it might propagate to?


On the #IndieWeb, especially for public posts, some of these questions have easier and more obvious answers, because the intent of nearly all public IndieWeb posts is to interact across the web with other posts and sites, typically via the #Webmention protocol. However there are still questions.

Are the expectations for a blog and blogging different from a social media site, whether a silo or an instance on a network?

Is a personal website with posts still just a blog, or does it become something new when you start posting responses from your site, or receiving (e.g. via Webmention) and displaying responses from across the web to your posts on your site? Or is it now a “social website”?

If you have a social website, what is your responsibility for keeping it, well, social? Do you moderate Webmentions by default? Do you use the Vouch extension for some automatic moderation?

Are #POSSE & #backfeed different from federation or are they the same thing from a user-perspective, with merely different names hinting at different implementations?

Do you allow anyone from any site to respond or react to your posts? Or do you treat your social website like your home, and follow what I like to call a “house party protocol”, only letting in those you know, and perhaps allowing them to bring a +1 or 2?

I have many more questions. Each of these deserves thoughtful discussions, documentation of what different tools & services do today that we can try out, learn from, and use to make considered decisions when creating new things to post on and across websites.
