The secret power of a blog – Tracy Durnell’s Mind Garden

If you only write when you’re sure you’ll produce brilliance, you’ll never write.

@Roundcat @GayOldTime a lot of folks in the #IndieWeb movement are proponents of doing more curated lists of links and online community building along these lines. Mastodon plays an important role as well.

I finished Gilmore Girls yesterday and was blown away by it. So much so, I had to write a new #blog post about it… but also about old alternative rock and friends that are no more

Checking out the new Fleet preview from @jetbrains for some #Django development and it's super stable and easy to use. #indieweb #jetbrains

This website now federates with ActivityPub and has webmentions

What the title says.

Or, at least, I hope so, as I’m unsure everything is working as it should.

The ActivityPub part I tested myself seems to be all fine, so anyone on Mastodon, Friendica, Pleroma, Pixelfed, and so on, can look up for the user whateverthewindbrings@https://www.whateverthewindbrings.com and follow it to see blog updates directly on their timeline. Any comment made under those posts […]

#Hivemind #AskFedi: I have been procrastinating looking for a new Registrar. Gandi used to be all about the #indieweb / #indiedev - but it is too big, too corporate now.

Are there good, supportive to #opensource domain registrars I should consider?

Even though I wrote a little less during September than in previous months, I still managed to publish a few candidates for @birming’s #SeptemBest blogging challenge.

Et voilĂ , here is my personal winner:

Deciding where to be on the expensive-but-easy vs cheap-but-difficult spectrum is maddening. #wordpress #indieweb #podcasting

The mainstream internet lures us with dopamine, kills our creativity, makes us into sad noisy powerless complainers, expends our time on pointless distraction, buries the pathways to escape... then empties our wallets.

Don't complain. Just leave. Help build the alternative đź’Ş

YES. This point by @jenniferplusplus is it. There's a very _thin_ line of this that could (should) be expanded on in the #IndieWeb with the use of audiences (here's an example use-case: https://indieweb.org/audience#posting_only_to_a_local_timeline) but not enough people who have the bandwidth to experiment

Looks like multi-site is not the way to go. It complicates things quite a bit. Ok. Starting over. Ugh. #wordpress #indieweb

I’ve been working on creative online projects again—literally just for fun, that’s all—and I completed a really simple one. It’s inspired by coming across “interesting” words, or words I have to look up because I don’t know the meaning. Refreshing the page gets you a new word. https://by.georgie.nu/lexeme/ #language #creativeprojects #indieweb
