💫 Wishes | And So It Goes… https://krueger.ink/wishes/
I'm happy to announce that personal website is in a functional state. It's far from done and doesn't have much on it right now but I love the state I got it to.
Future additions will include:
- my bash automation scripts collection
- my flipper zero files
- guest book
- art gallery
- possibly a blog if I decide what to write about 
Here's the link for anyone interested: https://catplace.org
While working on the Battle Network shrine, I have done a couple of changes to the main HATsite, seeing as I'm taking a break from working on the shrine. I am releasing these changes as part of this month's HATsite update!
https://tricksterhat.neocities.org/
Please make sure to use CTRL+F5 on the site to see all the changes!
Because there is a lot, a LOT that was made. And of course, the BUTTON WALL has been expanded again.

I still feel this way about #Webmention. #Blogging #BixDotBlog

"Browsing the IndieWeb website, I find it very hard to escape the feeling that the IndieWeb is about formats and protocols, not simply about having your own website. And I’m not the only one...."

We really need to enable non-techie folks to have a voice online that NOT tied to large platforms.
All IndieWeb participants need to be vocal, not just developers https://disassociated.com/indieweb-participants-vocal-not-developers/

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
James (@jamesg.blog) wrote up a great summary of how to do so and his experience:
* https://jamesg.blog/2024/10/13/search-engine-shortcuts-firefox/
I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine, so here are the Search Shortcuts I have setup when I want to explicitly search/lookup something elsewhere, roughly ordered by my perceived frequency of use:
i - IndieWeb - https://indieweb.org/
w - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
g - Google - https://google.com/
d - MDN Web Docs - https://developer.mozilla.org/
m - Google Maps — https://maps.google.com/
b - Bing - https://bing.com/
a - Amazon - https://amazon.com/
x - Twitter - https://twitter.com/search
If you don’t see one of these search engines in your Firefox Settings: Search Shortcuts, you can visit its URL above and then follow the instructions in James’s blog post to add it to your browser’s list of search engines. Once added there, it will show up in the Search Shortcuts table and you can double-click it and add a one-letter (or more) shortcut as you wish!
What Search Shortcuts have you setup in your browser?

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.

No I did not block you on the #fediverse / #Mastodon / #Misskey etc.
