So last weekend my wife surprised me with a trip to the Crystal Grottoes Caverns in Boonsboro, MD. I made a blog post shortly thereafter, but I was having a little trouble with Ghost, so I didn't post about it. Well, it's fixed, so here are the photos, if anyone is interested:

Also, yep, changed my blog again. Quite enjoying Ghost.

My May 2024 monthly summary of what I did.

I truly enjoy reading everyone's blogs and I thought I should do this too. It took a lot of work this morning since it's my first time but now I have a template for next month!

Loforo appears to be a #Tumblr alternative but if you rely on adaptive technology, there are empty links everywhere! It has ActivityPub support https://loforo.com/?src=bubble #ActivityPub #Blog #Blogging #IndieWeb #Publishing #Fediverse

New: free link preview tool. An HTML template for page thumbnails that are shown for shared link cards.

Wahrscheinlich frage ich das Unmögliche in der heutigen Zeit:

ein #webDev-Job (#PHP, #HTML, #JavaScript, #CSS, etc.)
– bei dem #a11y, #UX, #privacy, #openSource und #IndieWeb großgeschrieben werden
– ohne #Google, #Zoom, #MicrosoftTeams
– in dem Zeit für Code Quality bleibt
– in einer Branche, in der man noch guten Gewissens arbeiten kann

#FediHelp, wäre toll, wenn ihr mich vom Gegenteil überzeugen könntet

Yo web people! I am looking for a self-hostable Calendly alternative. For my counseling business I would like to provide clients with a way to book their appointments on their own, based on availability in the calendar. I don’t mind paying for such a thing but I don’t want to be locked in somewhere if that makes sense.

Anyone have any experience with this? Currently my calendar is just an Apple account, but I’d like to self host that as well.

Lightweight single-system monitoring? I am looking to monitor a single server with docker containers.

Mainly just basic I/O, Perf., and other bottlenecks. Alarms could be nice. But anything as basic as possible.

Netdata looks pretty good, but the default setup looks EXTREMELY overkill no?

#selfhost #linux #indieweb #monitoring

Gitea and gitea-runner running on my VPS now. Gonna slowly setup deployment for it to the self-hosted website.

Like this is pretty rudimentary stuff in the end, but I am just incredible happy to finally have a bunch of workflows and pipelines up and running for full self-host.
About 4-6 hours of work so far, been documenting it a bit.

I hope to cancel my NeoCities subscription down the line and have it cover my cost for the VPS lol.

NeoCities: 5 USD
VPS: 5.22 USD

New on #WellMadeWeb: After Death Communication.

No, it isn't a mobile network offering supernatural coverage. Neither is it a PR firm that promises to guarantee your reputation long after you depart this middle realm. Rather, ADC is the Internet hub for those who have experienced spontaneous communication from their recently deceased loved ones.

**Movement and flow**

My last minute submission for May’s #IndieWeb carnival hosted by @hamatti on the theme of creative environments.

https://benjamin.parry.is/writing/2024/05/movement-and-flow/

We kicked off this month's #IndieWeb Carnival in Italian and unless someone sneaks in a last minute entry while I sleep, we're likely to finish it in Polish, showcasing the beautiful variety of people and blogs around the globe.

@hacknorris participated with a creative tutorial teaching us how to create pixel art characters.
