Thoguhts on the Resiliency of Web Projects

I just did a massive spring cleaning of one of my servers, trying to clean up what has become quite the mess of clutter. For every website on the server, I either:
#indieweb #clutter #projects #100daysofmusic #biketheeclipse

The #SocialWeb is currently buzzing about the #Fediverse ( #ActivityPub ) & #ATmosphere ( #ATproto ). Don't forget about #diaspora and most importantly #IndieWeb .

“I’ve been running this website on IndieWeb principles and tech for over a year now, so I thought it was time for an updated edition.”

It’s great to see how others are running their websites.

Today, the 31st of August, is #WorldBlogDay - @stefan is bringing it back, baby!

https://stefanbohacek.com/blog/world-blog-day-2024/

Celebrate with a blog post, or if you don't have a blog, perhaps today is the day to start something?

For websites, we have https://glitch.com and https://neocities.org. For blogs, we have ...

#WorldBlogDay #blogs #blogging #indieweb

The #WorldBlogDay is also a good opportunity to rerun an older poll I posted last year:

Do you blog?

#blogs #blog #blogging #indieweb #poll

Yes!
I used to, not anymore
Taking a short break
Not really

@stefan thanks for this! I didn't know about this date and I think the fediverse is the best place to celebrate World Blog Day 🎉 all in the spirit of bringing back home our data and our works 🏡 the fusion of 2 blogs of mine into one has been finished yesterday, maybe just in time for World Blog Day without even knowing it 😝

#worldBlogDay #indieWeb

So, does anyone celebrate World Blog Day? Not seeing a ton of information about it online, other than that it started in 2005 and the date was chosen because 31/08 spells "blog" (3108).

#blogs #WorldBlogDay #internet #indieweb

It's been over a year since I last wrote one of these, so I did a little update on where my site is at in relation to the #indieweb.

A bit of a nerdier post this time: How I setup my VPS (a guide for me that might help you as well 😇)

@zakb no worries! I’m right up there with forgetting about the “tech” and enjoying the indie web as the websites and friends we make along the way #indieweb

AH! I just figured out how to install a plugin on my blog to make external links safer and changed it to include noopener and nofollow. i don't know what i'm doing but it's working! what?! do i know what i'm doing? no way! what?! no way sounds fake

Thanks to Matthew for reading my post on recent IndieWeb discourse and adding a new section with his responses and notifying me about it via email.

There are certainly a number of things in Matthew’s response that tempt me to respond, but I’d like to focus on this:

I am, nevertheless, a little annoyed by the exhortation to “talk with us”. What does it look like I’m doing over here, anyway? Oh, no, it’s not good enough to post one’s opinion on the web. I’m supposed to use one of the IndieWeb’s chats, either IRC, Slack, or Discord. […] I am already talking with you. I’m doing it here, on my own website for all to see, in the best IndieWeb tradition. And you are talking to me if you quote me on your own website or email me.

I don’t consider my post a reply to Matthew’s post. I do not see his post as an invitation to conversation. I read it as a “take” - an opinion piece intended to make the reader feel a certain way and then close the topic, complete with clickbait headline.

I shouldn’t have to point out that bloggers-blogging-at-bloggers has a long history of unproductive conversation. Reducing the impact of unproductive conversations is part is why there’s not an IndieWeb mailing list. It’s easy in these formats to go hard on the abstract, and to spend time constructing arguments instead of asking questions.

That’s not to say that posts can’t inspire change. In the past day or so indieweb.org/discuss has been updated to mention right in the opening sentence that the IRC, web, Slack, and Discord chats are all bridged. Discussions have also kicked up (not for the first time) around making the homepage more welcoming, focusing on principles first, etc.

Those changes are being decided in the real-time chat, where you can meet and talk with the individuals (all volunteers!) who make up the IndieWeb community. I reckon it beats trying to reverse-engineer that community from a wiki.

Part 1 of my little "manifesto" is almost ready. Is it good? No. Is it unique? Also no. Is it sincere? Yes.
It's a mishmash of Buddhist, anarchist and humanist thought.
