Some notes on being proud of one's website:

what's something that you're especially proud of on your personal website? it can be small or big 💕

#indieweb

I am experimenting with adding #webmentions to my #geminiprotocol site. This will be accomplished by hooking up to https://webmention.io on the HTTP version of the site and then running a (for lack of better term) cron job to pull in received web mentions and add them to a comments page. I'm also starting to think about a native Gemini method of commenting. I also want to add webmention sends to #gemfreely.

@bentsai Not *exactly* about #IndieWeb / personal blogging but I think the @wedistribute podcast (from @deadsuperhero ) touches on a lot of common IndieWeb principles, i.e. empowering people, decorporatization, owning their own web, #openweb, etc… 6 episodes in and I've enjoyed each one!

Advertising share intents with microformats

Some great progress on my website!- decided to have a "reaction" page which collects all the comments from my personal #blog . Mainly because I don't like seeing posts lonely without. So They will all gather! Is not like I get any/lot (none) anyway.- added Captcha verification for the reactions and the #guestbook Hopefully saves me time on blocking spammers.- also joined the IndieWebRing!#indieweb #personalwebsite #webring #changelog ~ via http://marisabel.nl/social ~

So ... how *should* open platforms advertise their share intents? I made a #microformats proposal, but I'd love to talk about it. https://werd.io/2024/advertising-share-intents-with-microformats #indieweb #fediverse

I wonder which of them will go off and conquer BlueSky, setting off another to corral X, leaving the third in sole control of the Internet?

I cannot wait to see what happens when the second gets destroyed by X, giving the third the courage to invalidate the BlueSky conqueror and take all the Internets all for them-selves.

I've recently migrated to this personal / single-user #Mastodon instance and finally got around to writing about that "journey”, explaining how and why I did it.

It is but one more way in which I am pushing further into adoption of #indieweb #ownyourweb #ownyourdata #ownyoursocial ideas.

Honestly, the hardest part about the move was emotionally leaving infosec.exchange, I explain why in the post (https://shellsharks.com/own-my-social#thanks-to-infosecexchange). Thanks for everything @jerry 🧡!

I nominate @kissane & @molly0xfff & @Mer__edith for Internet President triumvirate.

Which reminds me, I need to sort out Grumble and Divebar to send my #indieweb RSVP webmentions. https://jj.isgeek.net/2024/03/28-104359/

Been a while since I was able to join the #indieweb #hwc. It was fun as always! https://jj.isgeek.net/2024/03/28-104231/

Zuck: we're launching an interoperable ecosystem called #Metaverse
#Fediverse: oh hey twinsies

Zuck: we launched a text based app connected to #ActivityPub
#Mastodon: yay we do that

Zuck: we believe in openness now
#IndieWeb: neato! We won!

Zuck: *face melts to expose a steel exoskeleton* WE COPY THE FLAGSHIP FEATURES OF SMALL APPS SO THAT THOSE APPS DIE THIS HAS BEEN OUR ENTIRE BUSINESS MODEL FOR TEN YEARS

**New Blog Post:** Memories of an empty city

I live in downtown Osaka, which used to mean waking up or being kept up by very drunk, full-grown adults yelling, laughing hysterically, screaming, or *fighting* late at night. I eventually had to get earplugs, which were somewhat effective. Well…this all stopped after Covid hit. 😬

Share Openly

I am continually impressed by my colleagues, friends, and acquaintances that make their own websites, whether it's design, dev, strategy, or somehow manage the entire task on their own. Regardless, get out there and make a site for yourself. Reach out for help if you need it.

I'm collecting a bunch that have recently emerged or recently found, but until I collect them up for posting, here's one to start with:

How Cambridge Analytica Exploited the Facebook Data of Millions | NYT 2018:

> In 2014, you may've taken a quiz online. Something that looks like this. And if you did, you probably shared your personal data and friends' personal data.
