As we keep pushing for new #IndieWeb and #Fediverse movements, let's always remember how any open technology can be used against itself. E-mail, for example, had everything going for it until spam became a huge thing. History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes. Could LLMs be the new silent killer making all kinds of slop out of content gathered from anything with an open protocol?

Yesterday's Front End Study Hall was terrific. Thank you @Meyerweb for jumping into showcase neat design ideas for links using Firefox's excellent developer tools. Great participation from everyone. https://indieweb.org/events/2024-10-24-front-end-study-hall #IndieWeb #CSS #WebDev

This is a post from the #indieweb! (trying out posting from IndiePass and aperture)

I'd like to make my #wordpress site accessible by #gopher #gemini #spartan clients, any ideas? In the official plugin repository there isn't much stuff...

Itā€™s odd how many developers in the fediverse donā€™t know how Bluesky works. Iā€™ve made it my business to understand a little bit about all platforms, going back 30 years of building for the web. Product design is then finding the right way to put the pieces together.

I'm planning to use #Ghost to host my own MicroBlog. What advice would you give me? My current website runs on #Hugo, and itā€™s too customized for me to want to migrate the whole thing to another software.

djp listened to There's A Marmot On My Doorstep/Leeds by furny on More Mature Escapades In Hi-Fi #librefm #indieweb #music #shareopenly https://libre.fm/user/djp/scrobble/1729799360

Iā€™ve noticed a few people recently refer to their top-level pages as ā€œslash pagesā€.
Honestly my first reaction was ā€œArenā€™t those just ā€˜pagesā€™?ā€, but Iā€™ve come to find the term kinda fun.


But when people started adding a /slashes slash page, I thought ā€œIsnā€™t that a sitemap?ā€.
XML sitemaps are common to aid in search engine indexing, but there are lots of documented examples of human readable sitemaps as well.
Apparently others think of them as ā€œindex pagesā€.


The fun thing about websites is that people can use whatever URLs they want.
You could even translate those pages into your primary language.
But Iā€™m going to advocate my preference to stick with the traditional /sitemap path


So I went ahead and implemented my human readable /sitemap page.
I limited it to the top-level pages but added an indicator that there are sub-pages.
I also still have my /sitemap.xml file but thatā€™s just for the bots.

šŸ”– Bookmarked Intentional web (https://prealpinux.com/2024/10/23/intentional-web.html)

Prealpinux discusses the concept of an "intentional web," inspired by recent discussion about the social web. I agree with the characteristics, as theyā€™re often brought up and define ā€œour webā€ but Iā€™ve decided Iā€™m sticking to ā€œthe webā€ā€¦

Got a late night drop for everyone, I'm officially starting my own blog called "The Digital Renaissanceā€ and it will basically just be a place for me to put my thoughts and such that don't really fit in with what I usually write for AllThingsTech

There aren't any articles yet, the site's not finished being customized (It's not actually working 100% on the admin side) but it's up and I will be fleshing it out further over the next few days

IndieWeb and me?

This post Ā«Ā IndieWeb and meĀ Ā» is an answer to https://openmentions.com/news/question-of-the-week/how-do-you-personally-indieweb/ - found via my Mastodon timeline:
Started blogging in 2008, when webrings were important. Moved to social networks (mainly Google+) and came back to my own blogs, self-hosted, around 2017. Both are now fedified (via ActivityPub) and POSSEā€™d too. Webmentions are important, so both [ā€¦]

Just listened to The Perfect Kiss by New Order on Low-life [Collector's Edition] Disc 1 #librefm #indieweb #music #shareopenly

https://libre.fm/user/mattl/scrobble/1729806753

While I was listening, I updated the code that generates these scrobble boxes. Some better markup, a more traditional and human readable way to show the date, h-entry and microformats support.

Coming soon: being able to delete your own scrobbles.

My incredibly poor attempt at summarizing: 1. There is no ā€œthe way,ā€ and 2. Micro.blog (the service) *exists*
