If you have a personal website, which I assume you do if you're following me here, you should add yourself to the Internet Phonebook while the call for websites is still open! They even have an "indie web" category! https://internetphonebook.net

3 blog posts in a week might be a record for adult me. Admittedly one of them I drafted in April and just finished now. (Teen me, of course, would routinely update my LiveJournal with frequency 😅)

New blog post in the People series: Library Denizens

I spent a LOT of time at the library growing up (playing video games), and met a lot of interesting people. Here's just a few that still stand out in my memory to this day.

The team behind the Internet Phone Book is creating a "physical directory for exploring the vast poetic web", and they are seeking "personal, poetic, and human websites".

I updated the about me page on my website. The biggest change of those otherwise small updates is that I recorded and uploaded two audio files: the pronunciations of my name (Elena) and nick name (theresmiling). I may add a section about where my nickname comes from in the future.

Substack rival Ghost federates its first newsletter

Estoy contentísimo porque he implementado Webmentions en mi blog y además está conectado con esta cuenta de Mastodon, así que las reacciones (likes, reposts, comentarios...) a este toot se replicarán en mi blog para unificar la conversación.

¿Me ayudáis a testearlo?

Seit dem letzten Update des IndieAuth-Plugins funktioniert das jetzt tadellos.

Ein weiterer Punkt den ich jetzt abhaken kann.

Ben Werdmuller, linking today to a story on Ghost federation:

I’m also convinced there’s room for another fediverse-compatible social network that handles both long and short-form content in a similar way to Substack’s articles and Notes. If someone else doesn’t build that, I will.

Yeah, it’s weird how no one has built this and certainly no one has been actively hosting thousands of blogs with long and short-form content, a social timeline, and fediverse integration for years. 🤪

Would anyone be interested in a personal website zine (reading one or contributing to one ☺️)?

Did a total redesign of my site recently, including a new banner, retro web icons, background patterns, and more. Late 1990s web inspired.



Have a look: https://pixelglade.net😊

I have a question for the IndieWeb community: What can we do against Webmention spam, except filter it out, when it fails validation? I receive hundreds of invalid Webmentions a day, and even using a filtering DNS server doesn’t seem to help much. But I also don’t want to waste network traffic to access all those spam sites. Is there any good block list I can check first before doing the request for validation? I thought about Akismet, but the API has no such option to only check the submitted URL.

Exciting news! We are introducing the Federation Advocacy and Advancement Initiative (#FAAI).

FAAI aims to promote federation in apps, improve existing features and standards, foster collaboration, and provide informational resources.

We've proposed federation for Apache Answer and plan the same for AnswerOverflow!

Join us in shaping decentralized web technologies!

I set up #freshrss on my server. After importing from my old reader, I added @simevidas's Web Dev OPML (https://github.com/simevidas/web-dev-feeds). I now have 37 268 unread posts from over 1000 #rss #feeds.

The problem with redesigning your personal website is that it looks great for about a week, and then you start to hate it.

I've been struggling to organize the variety of side projects I've made.

Does this make sense?

My technology coaching and consulting in 2024

I wrote a blog post about screen reader. Among other things, you will find out the efficiency of using a Mac with VoiceOver compared to being a sighted user.

Thank you @capjamesg for coming with a such great theme!
