New #bsd article:
"There’s a multitude of Operating Systems to choose from. You may have been using something like Windows or MacOS and be perfectly happy with it. You can step up and use Linux, Haiku or even Amiga OS. So, why do I think a BSD system may be a great choice?"

For anyone who's thought of starting a website/blog and has struggled find “success”, connection, meaning or general consistency, I offer this very simple advice...
Be yourself.

Shoutout to @xandra who shared this lovely piece on Embracing the #Smallweb for Connection

It got me thinking about the many ways in which the #indieweb has been a wellspring of joy, motivation and introspection for me and my writing.
I love that services like omg.lol, Scribbles, Micro.blog, etc. are enabling more people to share their thoughts and experiences with the world on their own terms. #indieweb
Here's a collection of posts about why the #IndieWeb is so awesome and isn't just because we dislike change! https://projects.kwon.nyc/internet-is-fun/ #SmallWeb
The day that was. Later start. Coffee. Facetime call colleagues. Work. Jaunt to Paddington NSW. Home. More coffee. Lunch. More work. Write blog post. No walk, rained off. Read #IndieWeb blog posts. Supermarket. Tea. Stream movie. To come: read, lights out. #OnlineJournal

“Own Your Web – Issue 10: Links Worth Sharing” by @matthiasott
đź”— https://buttondown.email/ownyourweb/archive/issue-10/
> many of us seem to instinctively drop most of the interesting links we find right into the timelines of the many – oh, so many! – social media silos. With the recent revival of personal websites and blogs, however, a lot of people are rediscovering a more thoughtful and persistent alternative: sharing links on their personal…

Happy May my indie web friends!
I'm hosting this month's #IndieWeb Carnival and I'm inviting everyone to join!
The theme is creative environments. How does where you create affect your creativity? Do you have a favorite place where creativity blooms or do you craft your pieces anywhere?
You can participate by writing a blog post on the topic and sending a link to it to me by the end of May.

I created a system for automating creation of "repost-of" Mastodon Boosts on my site. https://techlifeweb.com/blog/2024/04/2024-04-30-post-222614/ #11ty #Obsidian #indieweb

@xandra Yes! I really enjoyed reading this piece 🧡. The #indieweb is a place to be yourself, and find others who are, well.. who THEY are. Forget about likes, forget about follower counts, forget about page views. I have found, both in my own experience writing on my site as well as in my journey exploring other sites across the "indieweb" that it's people being truly *genuine* in both their writing and their style that brings life back to the web.
Is there anyone in the #indieweb #smallweb community that has setup POSSE on a Github Pages site using the latest Minima theme with Github collections? I am taking inspiration from @shellsharks (with https://shellsharks.com/notebook) who is doing some absolutely amazing stuff but on a different theme.
I have also been through the official Jeykll docs but they are a little sparse and they don't seem to have a chronological list of posts in mind. Here's my starting point https://github.com/danielcberman/danielcberman.github.io.
Big thank you in advance!
Here I am watching a full astro blog video tutorial and wondering if i should just pick a premade site instead of try to make my own.
The Lazy version of me is like, yeah slap your blog posts in there and call it a day.
But the prideful part me is like, hey dont you want to make a site on your style with the stuff you actually want.
Decisions, Decisions
Friends in #Australia interested in websites: would you be interested in an online meetup to chat about blogging and making personal sites?
I’m happy to organize something with the same format we use for Homebrew Website Club London. #websites #indieweb
