Some (silly) stuff I posted over the weekend for #weblogpomo2024

- A little snapshot of my desktop workspace / "Mission Control” https://shellsharks.com/notes/2024/05/18/mission-control-snapshot

- A list of crimes committed by Bowser across the history of Mario games https://shellsharks.com/notes/2024/05/19/bowsers-crimes

Current plan:

- Build a replica of my website using #WordPress.

- Add an e-commerce section on top of it using WooCommerce.

- Build an e-commerce section for my music on my *current* Jekyll website, using #Shopify.

Then I'll decide which one's best, and potentially move on from Bandcamp. I'm not going to leave the platform, however I want to act on the principle of #BeYourOwnPlatform

Gig publishing is clogging up the indie publishing space. https://robertkingett.com/posts/6564/ #NoPaywall #Blog #Blogs #IndieWeb #SmallWeb

Got the site to the point where I figured it would be better to push it out, and at least give a smoother experience for scanning a QR code with a mobile browser. Layout for larger screens but the first pass of altering the CSS grid after a breakpoint did get most of what I wanted out of the layout.

not too bad for my first hand-coded CSS I think.

Check it out at https://mskiersten.com, it looks better at mobile sizes at the moment

Kurzgesagt essentially promoting the indie web isn't something I was expecting. A cutesy video, as always.

Independent, open-source search engine focused on non-commercial content. #SmallWeb #IndieWeb

Finally! An Voyager episode I disliked!

「I’m making a hiatus in Trek, and I’ll have to return to those assholes from Equinox. They will most likely need to attack Voyager or something. They need to be the assholes, because we are not allowed to have nice things.」

I need everyone's idea on how I must build my personal blog / portfolio.

#poll #help #suggestion #indieweb #personal #blog #portfolio

Build both front/back (+ have it on GitHub)
Build front + use several APIs
Use Ghost for now then turn back to it

Week 8. In this weeknote, I mentioned about modifications to my blogging workflow, discovered a new web analytics provider, and subscribed to a few indie blogs.

Thanks to blogging collection by @birming I found Tinylytics on @gavinanderegg blog. Check out their blogs.

I recommend you to check out blog by @ldstephens

May 2024 Divestment

Freeing up space and tabs this month are a few themed stock image collections and an odd assortment of other stuff.

Fun fact: Did you know more than 30 people live in the UK?

Bridges and stairs

Most of these were sitting in my download folders for a project I like to call, “train your AI on this” which can be found on Matrix […]

Linking Indirectly, No Content Shared (LINCS)

I think there may be a trend in some spaces on the web to make moral judgments about how the web is used. Or maybe not. Maybe I’m just reading into it. A recent blog entry by Manuel Moreale about how chooses to allow readers to interact with his "content"1 got me thinking about how I chose to engage via the OpenWeb.

My content lives here, on my site. Everything in here is under my control and it’s then distributed through three distribution channels.

The first—and most obvious—is [...]

Still sitting with the awesomeness that was this past week and weekend’s 1-2 combination of:

#IndieWebCamp Düsseldorf — https://indieweb.org/2024/DUS
#btconf Düsseldorf — https://beyondtellerrand.com/events/dusseldorf-2024

Great seeing old friends and meeting new amazing people as well. So many thoughtful inspiring conversations germinating new ideas for creative projects.

Took lots of photos and notes.

We recorded all the IndieWebCamp day 1 #BarCamp style breakout sessions, and I believe all the Beyond Tellerand talks were recorded as well. I’m looking forward to rewatching the sessions and talks and reconnecting with all the ideas and open tabs in my browser.

Aside: this past Tuesday, the second day of the 2024 Beyond Tellerand talks, was also the five year anniversary of my closing talk at btconf DUS 2019: _Take Back Your Web_ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBLob0ObHMw )

It’s 2024. Do you still expect sites to support dark and light mode?

#indieweb #SmallWeb

Yup
Nah

Are we turning #internet into waste dump? As much as I would like to answer no, it would be a naive answer. I love the idea of #indieweb, and try to publish relevant content myself. But there seems to be no stopping the ai-supported generation of low-quality content. I think legislation is likely the only tool that is powerful enough to work. Unfortunately, technology is moving so fast that we as a society are not capable of keeping up. But we must try.

Good news: I got #webmentions working locally with @astro ! 🥳

Bad news: They're not showing in production, there's not even a request, nor is my try & catch throwing me an error 🤡

Why is it SO HARD to get them working with #astro?? Meanwhile the #11ty community has tons of resources on how to do it...

I assume that it's some client-side issue but I've had enough of this, time to start the weekend

Immediately took https://i.madethis.site for myself 😂

Woah, just now learning about Tusks from @bardi

I’ve been posting about wanting blogging to feel more like posting on here forever and…I think this gets me there. Why bother hosting a #blog and all of that hassle when your #Mastodon account could literally be a blog?

It’s amazing what a well-maintained API enables in for client apps like this. When the UI is in play, Mastodon effectively becomes infrastructure

🧐
