I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week until I don't. So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPH Vol. 11: jlsksr.de https://jlsksr.de/

Almost missed a second week and now this shameless plug. šŸ˜‰ Sorry guys.. just wasn't in the mood for Mastodon.. but relaunched my own website.

Ninety Eight

I'm not normally one to get excited about hashtags, but something crossed my bow this week that hit me in the nostalgia bone. There's a group of people trying to bring back the magic of the early internet...and I'm here for it. Welcome to the #IndieWeb. How it was... Being born at the crossroads between Gen-X and Millennial I spent a lot of my adolescenceā€¦

Making version noir

I went to sleep and woke up to several people joining the RPG Design Quest! ā™„ It's a small #TTRPG design community site based around groups with forums and even live chat. Plus it's #IndieWeb & #Mastodon connected! Come join and talk games with us!

This is completely lovely: a responsive, noir-inspired personal homepage in the form of a comic. I'm inspired. #Indieweb https://anhvn.com/posts/2024/making-version-noir/?utm_source=werd.io&utm_campaign=mastodon&utm_channel=mastodon

I decided to build a "clap" feature into my #IndieWeb blog, so visitors can show appreciation anonymously and easily, if they want!

I wrote a little about it here https://www.byjp.me/posts/easy-appreciation/; it uses https://val.town (I wish they had a Fediverse account, so I could tag them) and progressive enhancement to be useful and easy even for folks without Javascript browsers ā˜ŗļø

Please can someone cleverer than me explain how I have fucked up this #CSS?

I have a <blockquote> at the top of the page. But the :before and :after content appears at the bottom of the page.

WTF???

Making incremental website improvements give me warm fuzzies. Itā€™s like each update fills in a piece of my being.

Dreamhost removed support for Passenger a week ago, and Iā€™ve been scrambling to get my site up and running again ever since.

I think I finally have it. Iā€™m relieved, but tentatively because of a back-of-the-mind fear that something might still be broken.

Iā€™m the guest on episode 7 of the Decentered podcast! This was a really fun discussion. We talk about the early days of Micro.blog, of course the fediverse, Mastodon, Bluesky, ActivityPub, the IndieWeb, how Micro.blog encourages blogging, and where things are going.

šŸ“ Parliament and Government should be in the fediverse

Here's my pitch: Think GOV.UK, but social media.

So, say I wanted to move my site away from Wordpress to once again roll my own, is there a good guide for getting started with something more indie? Iā€™m a bit lost now that Netscape Communicator isnā€™t around. #indieweb

For those with a #blogroll, how do you decide which ones to include or leave off?

To free ourselves of our current predicament, we must simultaneously de-centralize and re-centralize identity.

By de-centralizing the ownership of identity away from platform monopolies and back to individuals, we can re-centralize the agency of personhood.

Once more for clarity:
Decentralize ownership.
Recentralize agency.

The central authority of ones digital identity must be the individual. That's how we regain our digital sovereignty.

Trying to decide on URL structure for a bilingual site. What makes more sense, /post/[sv, en]/slug or /[sv, en]/post/slug?

#devlog: Finally got around to re-adding my "theme switcher toggle" to my site. You can now toggle between a light, dark & classic theme. Trying out some new colors and other CSS changes to improve aesthetics and general contrastiness.

I've also migrated from FontAwesome to Phosphor (https://phosphoricons.com/) for my site-wide iconography and they look great! They even have a "Fediverse" icon :fediverse: which FontAwesome notably didn't.
