New post!

What if #AOL still existed? What if the telecommunications act of 1996 never passed? These are questions I answer while having a terrible cold.

You've been warned.

Thanks to @vincentritter for kindly offering me early access to his cool new blog platform #Scribbles. It's really nice. I'm so sorry this is my debut post.

Glitch, Code Jams!
I’m thinking… someone should remix this and offer one with all the #indieweb parts ready to be customized, would be a great way for more blogs joining the movement!

back to basic : own your web!

I've started a new #webring using my tool! Most existing webrings are geek oriented, for folks into retro computing or small web stuff etc. So I'm doing something a little different.

It's called Ghostring! It's for
#horror and #SFF enthusiasts, anyone with mysterious #witch vibes, or perhaps anyone who's an actual #ghost or other nonhuman creature? (it's not strict)

If you run a personal
#blog or #website, I'd love to list you on the webring. Send me your site info! Let's connect!

Boosts are welcome!

Why do I “suspect” https://micro.blog? Because (1) all of the originating IPs point back to Linode. And (2) the user-agent string mentions Ruby.

Pretty vague, but still. Like, it could totally be another “Webmention service” that listens to “Fediverse links” to sites known to accept webmentions. But I don’t know of one, except perhaps Bridgy, which most definitely isn’t it.

I mean, I’m not sure if this is an unintended side effect or more of a free service they provide.

I don’t know if you are subscribed to the “History of the Web” newsletter by Jay Hoffmann. A good read anyways, but I wanted to point you to the latest edition in particular.

We're back online!

I had a breakdown, I deleted my website, now it's back.

#indieweb feels like a vibrant small town that you can only enter through a narrow dark alley way

We’ve been waiting 20 years for this - The History of the Web

Blogging isn’t one thing and that’s kind of the point. It exists fractured by intention and it can be many things to many people. And now, 20 years after the last blogging revolution, something like a fractured digital presence is once again appealing.

@capjamesg oh thank you! I’ll definitely look at that! Would love to meet more #indieweb people 😄

@ewisniowski haha thanks! I’m all up for navigating the wild waters of the #indieweb as a team!

I wrote some things you need to know about consistency: https://lars-christian.com/on-consistency/

Hmm, so this is almost exactly what I'm looking for, I think: "microblog.pub - A self-hosted, single-user, #ActivityPub powered #microblog." #IndieWeb friendly.

@ewisniowski I've only recently gotten into this, but the #Indieweb wiki is a WEALTH of information! This is where i found info about Indieweb #Wordpress and it inspired me to redo my site.

POSSE - https://indieweb.org/POSSE

As for Ghost, I'm not sure, based on this: https://indieweb.org/Ghost#Lack_of_extensibility_or_IndieWeb

Yes I know my website appears to be down, but check back tomorrow or in a few days! Domain registrar stuff. https://robertkingett.com/ #IndieWeb

Small digital communities are not without its challenges, but nothing scales wholesale abuse like venture capital funding and shareholder value.

And puzzle CAPITAs.

I don't want to train someone's AI. I don't know how that's related but I don't like it. #tech #socialmedia #SmallWeb #indieweb

Bookmarks page is now live at https://grgml.xyz/bookmarks/ 🎉 With microformats, bridgy-specific content for posting to mastodon, webmentions support and all that. This will probably be the feature that gets me to update my website most often, as I'll be adding lots of read/want-to-read links there.
