I've seen a large amount of #Selfhosting and #IndieWeb content recently, which I will always support! But if you're considering stepping into this space, please make sure you don't accidentally let the same central entities who you're trying to divest from vacuum up your newly hosted data as well. Many won't even respect a robots.txt file, so I recommend researching blockers like the Nginx Ultimate Bad Bot Blocker as soon as possible.

Boosts for visibility appreciated!

Havaitsin, että kun pistin omat sivut vuosien jälkeen pystyyn, niin niiden viilailusta on tullut oma pieni harrastus. Se on vähän kuin oma digitaalinen palsta Internetin siirtolapuutarhassa. Se ei haittaa ettei niitä kukaan lue tai näe. Siinä uusien kukkien istuttamisessa ja rikkaruohojen kitkemisessä on oma viehätyksensä ihan sellaisenaan ☺️

After my recent purchase of a dumb flip phone, I was inspired to make a cipher based on texting on a 10-key keyboard. Instead, though, I came up with a new encoding method. Give it a try on my site!

"We can have a different web".

A beautifully written piece by @molly0xfff, bemoaning the walled gardens of today's web, but pointing out that the web we remember is still there waiting for us to reclaim it.

Maybe the real web 3.0 should be more like web 1.0. #IndieWeb

Another question for #WebDev #indieweb and #Mastodon crew about the Mastodon API:

Does anyone have an example they can share for how to add media (images) to a post programmatically (preferably with bash/shell scripts) in the Mastodon API? The official documentation looked more like JS and complicated, I'd like to see a simpler script.

Thanks!

Question for #WebDev #indieweb #gitea and #Mastodon crew about the Mastodon API and Gitea Actions:
I'm trying to take a commit to main branch commented like "Post YYYY-MM-DD" and get the title and description and post a link to it, but my env/terminal variables aren't working right.

Right now they just output $VAR instead of <variable value>.

How do I fix that?

To my fellow #WebDev crew, #indieweb, and #hugo SSG developers:

I want to add a comments section to my personal blog allisthewave.com but I'm not too keen on the default Disqus option. I'd prefer something FOSS like #Fosstodon and something with better moderation features like our community. Supported solutions here: https://gohugo.io/content-management/comments/ Thoughts?

Terence Eden’s Blog

A blog post can be a plain text document uploaded to a server. It can be an image hosted on a social network. It can be a voice note shared with your friends.

Title, dates, comments, links, and text are all optional.

No one is policing this.

Calling #indieweb. I would love to explore a more graph-based internet community form.

I was thinking about how posts and comments onFacebook, Reddit, etc. is so short-lived. Forum fixes this, but things can also be quite detached from each other. Ex. News about an event can come in multiple threads -- what if we could follow the trend of this, especially after many years.

I am thinking of something like a knowledge graph like Obsidian, but for internet communities.

If you're participating in the wonderful #WeblogPoMo2024 blogging month, I invite you to double up and spend one of your May blog posts to also participate in this month's #IndieWeb Carnival where the theme is Creative Environments.

Instructions for how to participate are at: https://hamatti.org/posts/indie-web-carnival-may-2024-creative-environments/

The second submission to #IndieWeb Carnival comes from Manu (who also runs a great People and Blogs interview series that you should check out: https://peopleandblogs.com/ ).
