@ellie even if only 0.0001% of the internet returns to #indieweb that's a MASSIVE improvement

I think I miss the point of the #now page in #aboutIdeasNow

People seem to use it as a sort of "Objectives" article?

I feel like /now could be a list of activities like in #ActivityPub since those are often things I'm reading and sharing right now.

February is coming to an end soon so my monthly journal series (a.k.a. "Captain’s Log) entry has gone live. 'tis a fun way for me to summarize the past month, get a little personal and document things in a way that may not quite fit in a normal note/blog post.

Small dents in the IndieWeb · Paul Robert Lloyd

Paul has been doing so much fantastic work with the indie web community, not least of which is co-organising Indie Web Camp Brighton—just ten days away now!

#indieweb #community #graphic #design #icons #indiewebcamp #homepage #redesign

It's awesome how, as the #indieweb is coming back, and corporate control is waning (at least my environment makes it easier to move in that direction), I get a faint glimpse of the internet in the way it was before the money people came and messed things up.
What were tales of the past is now becoming accessible to people too young to experience it the first time.

You can't spell GOFORIT without GOPHER!

Sorry I'm still drunk. 😅

Bumped my #IndieWeb site over to #CloudFlare Pages today, from #GitHub Pages. Now I have all their DNS toys to play with.

Not long to go how, and only a few (free) tickets left! Come and join us on 9th and 10th March. #IndieWeb

A few more things you can do on your personal website

I'm finally embracing my old DIY self and putting more intentional effort into my personal website / blog!

Two additions I just shipped:

1. Adding the first seed to an "evergreen notes" section (maintained in #obsidian) of the site https://www.daveguarino.com/notes/evergreen/about-evergreen-notes/

2. Adding a "mentions" page where I hope to collect misc. mentions in articles, books, etc. so I don't forget (and because it's fun!) https://www.daveguarino.com/mentions/

Welcome to 🌙 Shark after Dark 🌙

This account features less-than-stellar and likely reality-detached toots, e.g. infosec meta-commentary, technology rants, life quibbles, w/e.

It serves as an (experimental) alt account for @shellsharks as part of my "social horcrux" lifestyle. If you follow me over there, this account should be familiar, albeit slightly more unhinged.

So if you want a li'l more Shellsharks in your feed, sub away! 🦈 🦈

@michael it's because they promise to bring you a new audience, same as Substack. So the temptation is the same as ever, you try to go to where the people already are.

The smart and diligent ones write on their own site and then use the POSSE technique to broadcast out to those closed silos, scoop up viewers from there and eventually make a direct connection.

@michael It's especially funny to list "distraction-free reading" as optional feature on reading platform. They had one job...

To be honest I stopped to care much about people putting content on #medium.
Usually it's not content I like anyway so it's easier to filter out in search engine 🙃

Small static #selfhosted #blog usually have more involved author that care about readers.

When will we finally recognize people's inability and denial to leave hostile web services (looking at you, #Meta, #Google, etc.) as similar how addicts and people in toxic relationships (often times related to #MentalHealth impacts) act?

Open Source Initiative migrates to WordPress; connects to fediverse!

Another day, another longtime website I’ve followed with good news about them connecting to the #fediverse and with #Wordpress, just like mine!

Two years ago, we started migrating our website from Drupal to WordPress. We knew it wasn’t going to be a quick weekend project, but more of a journey. Today, we celebrate the final leg of th…

Yeah, you're really gonna see which companies are just gonna allow the AI to scrape all their stuff now. I'm a copyleft/creative commons kinda guy. But if you have art that you don't want stolen, the answer is simple.

MAKE YOUR OWN WEBSITE and put your art there! Neocities! Your own domain and hosting via porkbun or GoDaddy (non-WordPress) or anything at all other than proprietary/walled stuff!
