So, as you all know, I stay in the #IndieWeb and love reading RSS feeds and such! To be honest, I love my RSS feeds a billion times more than I love Mastodon and the Fediverse. For ages, I've been reading https://marcorogers.com/ and I can't remember how I even found his website in the first place, but I also just found him on the Fedi! I mean, not to put a spotlight on him or anything, but I love stumbling across people on social media that I've been reading for months via RSS feed. It's like I'm walking through a town and suddenly I see someone from afar and think, they wrote about cats last year and I loved it! @polotek
How do we keep the web open while keeping our work out of large language models? Should we even worry about it?

Just a friendly hello to some pals from Homebrew Website Club! Joe, Sara, Tracy, James, Benji, Angelo, David, Pablo, gRegor, Jo… I’m sure there are several people I’m missing.
Somehow this video showed up in my YT rec feed (ugh, YT, give me more of stuff like this!). It’s 2 years old, but still relevant to the trend of people wanting to see more indie/slow/individual websites. I’ll be bookmarking and checking out the search engines and other sites mentioned here.

for various reasons I don't have analytics in my blog / personal website, but I do like to occasionally peek at the #nginx access logs to see what the traffic looks like. So I wrote this little #golang cli program that parses them into #sqlite and lets me query request counts with different criteria.
I now have a 'now' page! 🥳

Updated #introduction!
👋 Hi folks, I'm a freelance web dev and web performance engineer.
On the #webdev side, I really love the #Jamstack, #eleventy, #11ty, and the #IndieWeb.
You can learn all about me on https://sia.codes. I write and speak about webdev and web perf.
I also love #LEGO, #boardgames, #gardening, and too many other hobbies to list.

@whalecoiner I've used a tool called Hygen for something like that. https://www.hygen.io/docs/quick-start/ #indieweb
How do you let your friends know about a cool website you found?
Added a Website Carbon Calculator score to my homepage - A+ by the way! https://scopefilter.net/index.html
I like the idea behind https://darkvisitors.com (robots.txt entries against AI bots and other scrapers) but the execution leaves a bad feeling:
* access to the agent list only by authenticated API
* the API is fiddly and returns opaque errors
* the API does only give access to AI related bots, not the full list they obviously have
* the API only returns robot.txt format, not JSON with additional bot info
* no accompanying list of IP address ranges
* pushy to use their Wordpress plugin and Analytics
* unclear who's behind: "team with background in various abusive companies"
This really should be an Open Source project managed in the open for transparency.
