I just published my first blog post since becoming a freelancer again!

**Migrating from Netlify to Cloudflare for AI bot protection**

My step-by-step guide for how I moved my #11ty blog site over to Cloudflare so I could block AI bots, scrapers, and crawlers.

Includes how I manage the contact form. Should be useful for any static site as none of this is 11ty-specific except for the build commands.

Chavales recomendadme gente a la que seguir en Mastodon, cuentas que os molen mucho, ya sean en español o inglés.

Me interesa cuentas #indieweb, #videojuegos, la #musica electrónica, #internet en general y cualquier cosa que sea interesante.

Is your first website still online? Or maybe your oldest website? I'd love to see it!

"On August 6, 1991 [33 years ago], the first website was introduced to the world. [It] contained information about the World Wide Web Project. It launched at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, where it was created by British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee."

Happy birthday, web!

@stevelord @ianb @penguin42 there’s also the Gemini Protocol which seems pretty interesting as a piece of the #indieweb

Playing niche music, on a niche server, broadcasting to niche social networks. That's my plan to make billions and billions and billions...

I always wanted to try one of these power banks and decided to pick one up during the Prime Days sale.

"Apple made a fateful decision that mobile-phone internet should be app-centric, not browser/website centric. Then Android copied their mistake."

Many interesting things in this article, but this is one particular gripe I have about today's Internet. I will go to so much unnecessary trouble just to avoid using somebody's app.

“Social media wasn’t Web 2.0, it’s what killed Web 2.0!”

Web 2.0 was not social media!
You’re rewriting history that’s less than 20 years old!

“You might think I’m arguing over mere nomenclature, but the important fact is that this era existed, and the Web3 pitch pretends it didn’t. We already had decentralized internet with social features. [...]

Are there other cool webrings I should know about (and are not exclusively for Neocities sites)?

@brettk cue "over my head" by the fray

learning this as a lay-person with no technical background is wild. if #indieweb and owning your experience online is the way forward (and i believe it is) holy shit we're going to have to make some kind of plug-and-play kind of application for beginners to get wider adoption.

thank you for the insight! it sounds like quite an undertaking, but i'm up for the challenge <3

okay for my next trick i want to figure out a way to update my eleventy blog from my phone if i want - right now posting anything requires loading up vscode and pushing to github. easy enough, but not conducive to "quick picture upload/status update" from my phone. #indieweb #posse #blogging #eleventy

I fucking hate ads where the person invited themselves onto their own fake podcast set to explain their product so they look like some kind of expert. Psychic damage. This is why every time I try to open up one of the big social media sites again it's just an immediate NOPE. #socialmedia #podcast #ad #advertising #marketing #smallweb #indieweb #psychicdamage #mastodon #facebook #instagram #theinternetisdead #socialmediaisdead #nope #internet #fedup
