Oh! Dang! Many thanks to Kristof for pointing out a glaring oversight in my recent updates to make the IndieWeb Webring 🕸️💍 more deterministic:
https://kiko.io/notes/2024/The-fun-of-randomness-in-a-Webring/
I forgot to give the “random site” feature its own link!
It’s back! You can now visit 🕸️💍.ws/random to go to a random active site on the ring.
It’s also linked on the landing page of the webring.
For best results, add it to your bookmarks! 🔖🕸️💍🎲
Now that I moved from Neocities to Bear for blogging, I’m hoping to post more frequently.
For someone with a plain old static website who literally just drags and drops the files to a plain old web server using my file browser, all of this #indieweb stuff seems so complicated!
On https://bookstacks.app, I replaced #Django ImageKit with barebones code to create thumbnails when images are uploaded. Pages with lots of thumbnails are now NOTICEABLY faster. It boggles my mind that this isn’t a solved problem. Images and CDNs (DigitalOcean Spaces in this case) and SPEED!
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.

If you have a Mastodon or Hubzilla account, or an IndieAuth-style self-hosted identity, I'd like to invite you to try and sign in to my test site at login.mythik.co.uk.
Headline features:
- User authentication/authorization based on the Ory tools.
- Supports signing in using an existing Fediverse (or other) account - or one you host yourself
- Open source - well, not yet, but it could be, if people are interested in it
- Written by a non-expert! Woefully insecure! All manner of attacks, just waiting to be found! Invite your security expert friends to the party, and laugh together at the n00b! Fun for all the family!
Supported identity providers include:
- Mastodon (must be a recent version that includes this pull request). mastodon.social is known to work.
- Hubzilla (any version). zotum.net is known to work.
- #IndieAuth / #FedCM
- Another instance of itself, using OpenID Connect
(There's a chance Streams might work, too.)
Protocols supported:
- #OIDC Discovery
- Client ID Metadata Document
- FedCM for IndieAuth
- #OpenWebAuth
- A method using the Mastodon API
- Classic (non-FedCM) IndieAuth (if you're lucky; I found this very hard to test, and had various problems with it)
- My original experiments used Dynamic Client Registration but I've moved away from this.
If you can get it to work - share a screenshot and let me know what you think!
(I'll try to keep this running for a while, but I can't guarantee it - partly because I haven't finished trying to attack it yet. If I have to take it down for some reason, I'll edit this post to say so.)
@whalecoiner I've used a tool called Hygen for something like that. https://www.hygen.io/docs/quick-start/ #indieweb
