A new table of contents, lots of writing, and new fonts were added to the website this week. I also started a forum for me and my friends. Do I spend too much time online?
p.s. how do I automatically generate OG images for my website?
Announcing WeblogPoMo Challenges!
Starting today and running for the remainder of October share pictures using the prompt hashtags and especially `#WeblogPhoMo` by posting to some.pics (if you are an omg.lol member), your blog, the Fediverse, or a combination!
🤖 I posted to my general interest blog.

Updating my site to @craftcms 5 also means that I’ll have to update the three plugins I wrote for Craft 2. I had already started rewriting the #Webmention plugin, but didn’t finish it. So instead of waiting until I remove this blocker (= forever), I'll now increase the pressure a bit by killing Webmentions on my site completely with this CMS update. 🥺 If I want to have Webmentions back on my site, I better finish rewriting the plugin soon… 😅
Also, I’ve gradually been adding suggestions from folks here (and hope to pop a few more on there each week). It’s starting to fill up nicely!

Once upon a time, there was a simple, open source social publishing tool called Known. Here's a little about it. https://werd.io/2024/revisiting-known #opensource #indieweb
No I did not block you on the #fediverse / #Mastodon / #Misskey etc.
If you were following me @tantek.com on your client/server/instance of choice but noticed you were no longer doing so, that was due to a recent software bug in my fediverse provider which accidentally caused everyone’s #ActivityPub servers to unfollow me (bug details below).
No it’s absolutely not your fault, you did nothing wrong.
We need a variant of Hanlon’s Razor¹ like:
“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by a software bug.”
Take another look at my posts if you want (directly on @tantek.com or try searching for that on your instance) and if you like what you see or find them otherwise informative and useful, feel free to refollow. If not, no worries!
Also no worries if you ever unfollow/refollow for any reason. I mean that.
I always assume people know best how to manage their online reader/reading experiences, everyone’s priorities and likes/dislikes change over time, and encourage everyone to make choices that are best for their mental health and overall joy online.
Bug details:
This was due to a #BridgyFed bug² that deleted my profile (“ActivityPub actor”) from (nearly?) all instances, making everyone’s accounts automatically unfollow me, as well as remove any of my posts from your likes and reposts (boosts) collections. It also removed my posts from any of your replies to my posts, leaving your replies dangling without reply-contexts. Apologies!
The bug was introduced accidentally as part of another fix about a month ago³, and was triggered within the following week⁴.
Anyone following me before ~2024-09-22 was no longer following me. A few folks have noticed and refollowed. Any likes or reposts of my posts before that date were also undone (removed).
Ryan (@snarfed.org) has been really good about giving folks a heads-up, and apologizing, and quickly doing what he can to fix things.
Bugs happen, yes even in production code, so please do not post/send any hate.
I’d rather be one of the folks helping with improving BridgyFed, and temporary setbacks like this are part of being an early / eager #IndieWeb adopter.
This bug has also revealed some potential weaknesses in other ActivityPub implementations. E.g. deleting an “actor” should be undoable, and undoing a delete should reconnect everything, from follows to likes & reposts collections, to reply-contexts. Perhaps the ActivityPub specification could be updated with such guidance (if it hasn’t been already, I need to double-check).
To be clear, I’m still a big supporter of #BridgyFed, #ActivityPub, #Webmention, and everyone who chooses to implement these and other #IndieWeb related and adjacent protocols as best fits their products and services.
All of these are a part of our broader open #socialWeb, and making all these #openStandards work well together (including handling edge-cases and mistakes!) is essential for providing #socialMedia alternatives that put users first.

Henlo!
I wrote a new text for my blog! You may read it on https://bureaumirror.neocities.org/entry/life-not-sensible-sensual/
I've also updated its Now, Uses and About pages. I created some nostalgic pixelated buttons for them
Also, it's now become a part of @Alex@nederland.gay's #FeDistricts

New Blog Post: Access Web Component Content With A querySelector() Via setTimeout()
This was the fix for not being able to get at custom element content that was driving me mad.
