Back down the rabbit hole of HTTP signatures + ActivityPub today. Fixed an issue, and reviewed the new community group draft. Don’t feel great that my code mostly resembles the make friends and verify requests blog post from 6 years ago rather than newer docs.

The list of sites nominated for this year's https://tinyawards.net is now online, and the public voting will open tomorrow!

Thanks to @researchbuzz for the heads-up!

An Open Mentions idea: A small web tag

I have an IndieWeb META suggestion for OpenMentions.com. I was thinking that there should be a topic tag for small web aka smolweb. Should it go under IndieWeb or somewhere else?

#IndieWeb #OpenMentions #smallWeb

OK, so I updated the repos at https://github.com/janboddez/indielol and https://github.com/janboddez/janboddeznet.

These are the ā€œbaseā€ theme for this site and a couple others, and the child theme for this site specifically.

Mind you, these were created for, I think, WordPress 6.4, and before I’d even looked at block hooks. Don’t think they represent, you know, ā€œbest practicesā€ or anything. I’m planning to still update them. One day.

Like, in my child theme, I define this ā€œPost Metaā€ block that I actually use twice in most of my templates; I then output just the one occurrence for certain post types and the other occurrence for, well, all other post types.

The code I use to dynamically populate this Post Meta block’s innerBlocks is very similar to … what you’d do with block hooks.

Let’s see, what else? Oh, the child theme has this activitypub folder, which is where my Add-on for ActivityPub plugin goes looking for certain templates. (While the ActivityPub plugin has since added support for extra ā€œactor profileā€ fields, I still like my implementation, haha! Plus, there’s all these other features, of course.)

#indieweb

Hi Fediverse, I’m Alec! As for an #introduction, I’m a technology professional who works in the public sector.

My interests constantly change, but I always come back to #linux and #BSD, my #homelab and #selfhosted things, #python, and recently, #golang.

I love small, simple things, and I’m especially interested in the relationship between tech and humans. I’m on a journey to understand how to make and use the internet better, and the #indieweb community seems like a good starting point!

@KentNavalesi @academicchatter Though I am pretty much but one more of those "tech-focused" indieweb blogs you speak of, I have made an effort in the past few years to start writing about non-tech things. As someone who has embraced the idea of the #indieweb, I feel my site/blog is a space to write about all things me, and not just my professional/other-techy pursuits. I file all of these under the tag "life" on my site, the list you can peruse here!

Today designed a very simple landing page for this app: https://www.thoughttonote.ai/

Took longer than I expected (designing was easy. Did with #claude ; hosting took time.) But glad at least a placeholder page is up and running

I think all WordPress blogs should install WebMention

I am a huge fan of WebMention and a WordPress user. This is why I am so thrilled that Matthias Pfefferle created the fantastic WebMention plugin for WordPress. I think we should all use WebMention and in this post, I will explain why.

What is WebMention?

TL;DR: WebMention pings a page you link to to tell it about the link. The linked-to page […]

Have you heard about our lord and saviour, WebMention?

I am on a mission to spread the holy word of WebMention (and the great prophet Matthias Pfefferle) to as many non-technical bloggers as possible because WebMention makes blogs 210% better.

Anyone know of a search engine that looks for lengthy blog posts? Not AI generated padding either but something like @feedle but it displays very lengthy blog posts from the search Result? I’m talking, with an estimated read time of 45 minutes or longer. I am that person that will sit and read a two hour blog post all of the way through #SearchEngine #SmallWeb #IndieWeb

I've been trying out a lot of the tools on this Codeberg and as a noob, I am really impressed with what is going on in this #indieweb #smolweb #smallweb space. For those of you also just joining this movement, check some of these out!

@evert I’m getting a lot of runway from self-hosting! Even a raspberry pi zero can handle most #indieweb site traffic, is very cheap to run, and you can use Tailscale or Cloudflare to keep your home network’s IP hidden.

It needs some tech-savvy knowledge though, I wish this was easier šŸ˜”
