@amerpie @birming Not a daily one but consider joining us for this month's #IndieWeb Carnival if you're at loss of ideas and challenges.

We have a different theme each month and this month it's Tools.

Have you ever made a tribute page? Would love to see some examples!

New #blog post from yday:

„ While it seems you can’t even open a fridge without some AI jumping at you, or your computer coming with hardware enabled spyware, somewhere in the dark something cool lurks. Not much in the dark, as ActivityPub is an open standard, and millions of peoples are using it via Mastodon, but the idea behind federation doesn’t get near enough attention”

Front End Study Hall is an HTML + CSS focused group meeting to learn from each other about how to make code do what we want! Hope you can make it to this #IndieWeb #Frontend Event! https://events.indieweb.org/2024/07/front-end-study-hall-006-SSFMWaLFzMng

My only subsequent mentions of Mastodon in my journal before 2023 were around my maddening attempts to set up a single-user instance, eyes aglow with #IndieWeb fire.

It took me a while to come to Masto.NYC, after finally swallowing my pride and pulling up a directory of open Mastodon servers.

Last night @seano updated our shared doc about how the server's infrastructure works, and... I... have no idea why I thought I could do this alone. I mean, I do know why I thought that. But yeah. Haha.

A sneak peek into the new redesign of the web app and its new capabilities.

I started brainstorming my blog post for this month's #IndieWeb Carnival and it's gonna be a good one 😍

What do people use for domain registrations these days? I own far too many and need to find something cheaper (and with better service) than Squarespace.

Or start linking to my dormant Patreon page.

A new month, a new #IndieWeb Carnival! This month @capjamesg is hosting the event and the topic of the month is Tools.

I'm very excited for it as I love good tools. I need to do some pondering to find an interesting angle to write about.

Meanwhile, if you got a blog, check out this month's carnival from the link and join us!

I'm excited to be hosting the July 2024 #IndieWeb Carnival.

The topic this month is tools: what tools we use to create, what they mean to us, and how they influence our creativity.

Ok, interesting, I installed my own PeerTube instance on the NUC at home where I already run Home Assistant. It's fairly slow but it seems to only matter for transcoding newly uploaded videos which doesn't happen too often.

What I'm looking for is to be able to have an alternative UI to be able to subscribe to other chanels on the fediverse and uploading my own videos.

In the longer run I will open the instance to my close family members so we can share videos internally without the need to use some 3rd party to do so. I have also many home videos from the 90ies which I'd like to share with them.

My first monthly insights post on my blog! this will be a paid feature in the future so check it out! I'd love feedback on the format here so I can tune it to what interests people going forward.

I like the #indieweb concept. I'll try to build my personal website under that philosophy.

「Recently, half of my waking time seems to be spent actively ignoring the current AI boom. Every investor, every product, even some open source project - all are part of the biggest craze I’ve ever witnessed. My skepticism for all this crap doesn’t come from being against the idea behind it. I love AI, but LLMs are different.」
