Happy October!

For some reason this month has a plethora of daily blogging or other creativity prompts. Here’s a list of the ones I found so far:

* #Blogtober (consider this post my first for this, retroactively day 1)
* Inktober — https://inktober.com/
* LOLtober - https://weblog.anniegreens.lol/2024/10/loltober-2024
* Looptober — https://looptober.com/
* Mathober - https://mathober.com/
* Viztober — https://www.instagram.com/evalottchen/p/DAiNm3ZtuTj/

Having found so many for the month I created an “October” page on the #IndieWeb wiki to document them all (and in case folks find others to add):
* https://indieweb.org/October

October is also a very popular month for seasonal blog styling:
* https://indieweb.org/Halloween

Do you have a custom Halloween theme for your personal site? Add it to the wiki!

I wrote a short note about Meta's toaster problem— toaster are impossible to make, digital platforms are easier. So Zuck needs a bigger more expensive moat.

I really like personal homepages and have quite a list of them bookmarked. I'll post one every week unless I fall behind this schedule. 😉 So here's Cool Personal Homepages #CPH Vol. 25: zkbro https://html-chunder.neocities.org/

I'm looking for folks to take over maintenance of two IndieWeb-technology Perl libraries:

* https://metacpan.org/pod/Web::Mention
* https://metacpan.org/pod/Web::Microformats2

I still use these regularly—if passively—but I'm told that they've become difficult to install on new systems due to failing tests.

I'd love to see someone with active interest in #Perl or #IndieWeb take this software under their wing and help keep it up to date. Please DM me if you're interested!

This is a great set of points.

But the secret is, you can still build your own website. Using tech that's just as simple (and cheap) as what Indymedia started with in 1999, but with the added benefits of everything web hackers have learned since.

There's a cousin of the fediverse called the #IndieWeb, that exists to help people do exactly this. Their website is full of information on how to add nifty features to your site, without needing bloated "enterprise" CMS or web frameworks;

Have fun!

Funny thing is #Meta can't stop being a cartoon villain character long enough for the #socialweb guys to defend themselves.

They're like, "#Threads isn't so bad you guys, they actually--" BREAKING NEWS ZUCKERBERG CAUGHT FUELING AI SUPER COMPUTER WITH BABY ORANGUTANS

@jacob micropub is what you want here probably, have a look at IndieKit if you want to keep your existing site! Feel like #IndieWeb folks in general will have opinions about this
