Hello! Overdue introductory post.
I've migrated my account from the emacs.ch instance. I love #emacs and use it for almost everything, and I'm a firm believer in the future of the #indieweb!
My other interests include #cooking, #reading, #writing, #gardening, #piano, #camping, #math, all #science but particularly #astronomy and #chemistry!
New blogpost: "Webmentions on Hugo, Fediverse, and the magic of the IndieWeb"
Read it here: https://xaselgio.net/posts/20.webmentions/
I've been vaguely unhappy about my website for some years. 👻 I started a WordPress blog in 2011, which I tried to replace by static pages with Jekyll in 2018, but I didn't see it through. 
Last Summer, I accidentally learned some Python for a research project. 
This finally gave me the courage to script my way to a fully static website. And it's done now! 😺 I deactivated WP & deleted MySQL database yesterday.

New Post: Love and Transactionality
This post was inspired by something one of my partners asked me a month or so ago; is love transactional?
Independent, POSSE-style blogging is more than a retro-trend. It’s a beautiful statement on the importance of the humanness of the internet, and a peaceful, positive rebellion against the commodification of where we place our attention.
I’m so pleased to announce that ellanew.com is my new home base! I’m still on Medium, but will finish wrapping up operations on Substack very soon. If I write it, it will appear on my blog first, and …

I figured out in JavaScript how to deal with a collection of HTML objects as if it was a normal array, which makes a lot of tasks a lot simpler. Then I figured I ought to blog about it: https://bigraccoon.ca/articles/webdev/20240920-treating-an-htmlcollection-like-an-array
(tl;dr: you use Array.from() on your HTMLCollection, then .map() on the resulting array to pull a specific property from each element)

A one sentence problem description, and a short paragraph describing my problem-solving, actions, license, link to less than 300 bytes of code (not counting comments), and a few future thoughts.
The rest of that blog post was about “debug scaffolding”, the part I thought was more interesting at the time.
Eric Meyer (@meyerweb.com @meyerweb@mastodon.social) followed up ~10 days afterwards with his thinking and improvements:
* https://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2004/09/15/emreallyem-undoing-htmlcss/
where he mentioned “resetting” in passing, but not actually calling it a "reset".
~2.5 years later Eric published “Reset Styles” with further reasoning and improvements:
* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/12/reset-styles/
describing them as: “reset” or “baseline” set of styles.
Subsequently he iterated in several more blog posts:
* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/14/reworked-reset/
* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/04/18/reset-reasoning/ — this is Eric’s first post where he explicitly calls them “reset styles”, which I believe is the origin of the eventual phrase “CSS Reset” and “reset style sheets”
* http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2007/05/01/reset-reloaded/ (yes a Matrix: Reloaded reference)
~6 months later Eric published his evergreen resource “CSS Tools: Reset CSS”
* https://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/
which, as you see within the URL: “css/reset”, is perhaps where the phrase “CSS Reset” comes from, and it’s also the label (link text) he gives that page in his UI about-page² and the first content link in his 404 page³.
My technology invention takeaways from all this:
1. if you find yourself repeatedly solving the same (especially annoying) problem, create a re-usable solution that works for you
2. write up your problem statement / use-case in only one sentence
3. publish your solution (on your personal site⁴), name it something short, with only a short paragraph description, and re-use/remix friendly license (like Creative Commons)
And things not to worry about (that may get in your way to publishing):
1. perfecting or making your solution “big enough” or “the right size”. does it solve your problem? then it’s already the right size.
2. coming up with the perfect name. instead, name it what it does. someone might come up with a better name weeks, months, or years later. let them run with it!
3. waiting to blog multiple things. I could have blogged undohtml.css by itself, probably should have, and instead lumped it into a blog post with another CSS thing I came up with.

20 years and two weeks ago, I came up with undohtml.css and unknowingly invented the mechanism of CSS Resets (AKA reboot or reset style sheets¹) which spawned numerous variants, many still in broad use on the web today.

I've been puzzling over how to make a blogroll appear on my blog, and have automatically include what I'm reading and enjoying, without my having to constantly update it.
New post:
My favorite live performances by great artists that always give me goosebumps.
What are yours?
I'm going to put up a section on my website with links to other cool indie websites. Drop your website (or a website you like) as a reply to this post and I'll add it.
Now all articles on jeremykun.com have DOIs (thanks to @rogue_scholar) and the DOI url is rendered in the endnotes. #indieweb
I wonder what are fun aesthetics for #indieweb/ #smolweb / etc mobile-friendly sites?
I know what gives me pleasant nostalgia on desktop, and there's lots of room for creativity that is still pretty usable and easy to read. It's connected to default HTML styles, too.
Much of what I like is hard to read on mobile (tiny text and navigation). Clear mobile sites tend to look like everything else, just a long column of text or cards. Works, but nothing special.
Does anyone have examples they like?
When using images on personal #blogging web spaces, aligning to #SmolWeb and #SmallWeb principles, what are some ways you go about it (sizing, quality, thumbnails etc)? I have started using thumbnails as GIFs (200px h) linking to a downsized version of the original (800px x 600px), but am wondering if I forego the thumbnail for a single photo post. Would love to hear folks thought processes around their methods.

hi!
i'm struggling to understand how #Webmentions work, as i'm trying to get my website blog posts to be posts automatically on #Mastodon and #Bluesky (using #Bridgy - https://brid.gy)
here's my current implementation - https://github.com/ewanc26/website/commit/e9ebfb07b9a5cc87f68ed1f4b8526287415addfb

Rocking the retro vibe.
Post explicando de forma mais detida o NeoDB e sua instância ocidental, a eggplant.place.
Nele, há um contexto histórico e um tutorial de como adicionar mídia (livros, filmes, séries, games, jogos de tabuleiro e podcasts).
O texto é longo, mas deixei um Sumário para ir direto a parte desejada.
PS: Não sei como fazer aquele código HTML ou Markdown para clicar e ampliar a imagem. Por enquanto, se o print estiver muito pequeno, basta dar zoom com Control + Scroll do Mouse :-) Depois tento editar e melhorar isso.
