Decentralized social media, block chain, and crypto are part of Web 3.0 but its computation and privatization that defines the era.
The Computational Web:
What makes the shift towards a more closed and private Internet so dubious is congruently, whether they know it or not, open web evangelists express a false sense that the web is becoming more "open." It's not. The first couple of layers are opening but infrastructure layers are tightening.
There is a persistent lie in cyberspace lore that suggests the Internet is ownerless. We rationalize the fact that four companies own most of the internet's infrastructure by calling it "the cloud," but really, *that's just the Internet!*
The expense to build massive data centers and thousands of miles of deep sea fiber optic cables has become a competitive moat.
Currently, 3 companies control 75% of the cloud market. But even that's misleading as Meta, arguably the largest cloud company in the world, is not included in the figure.
Our businesses, homes, cars, even our sunglasses require increasingly larger gulps of compute to run out daily lives.
What makes the requirement so ominous is the scarcity and complexity of scaling computing power for retail consumption.
Maybe I'm just yapping and whining but I've had a blog on a static site for about two years now.
And while I used to write more regularly, I now find myself struggling to find the motivation to do so because I'm not finding anyone to read it. Yes, I write things for myself and because it feels good, but having no one see them is... demoralizing.
This past weekend’s #IndieWeb event included talk about John Waters. And it took place at Burn All Books, which at one time was in a back sliver of Verbatim Books. Well, yesterday Baltimorean filmmaker John Waters visited Verbatim https://www.instagram.com/share/_fLFrA_pq #SanDiego
This month's IndieWeb Carnival invited us to write about belief. I took artistic freedoms and wrote about believing in myself – and more specifically, my recent struggles with it.
In this personal and honest introspection I write about my lack of self-confidence (especially since the start of pandemic) and my life-long impostor syndrome.

Added h-feed and h-card to Haunt site. https://codeberg.org/csh/cshkc.us/commit/a19734d96891fa0556216b14b50dd5342ce3d1d1
Another thing I did during IndieWebCamp San Diego’s Create Day was add a page with food and drink recommendations. This morning I added an emoji before each one as a quick indicator of the type of food. I like that it adds some color and variety to a page of mostly text.

Slowly porting over all my blog posts from Artstation.
Today I learned how to use the CSS light dark property to make the theme respond to system settings.
Now that the blog is in a more presentable state, here's an article with practical tips for photogrammetry 3D scanning and other methods.

This is a great post by Laurens Hof of the Fediverse Report on the incomplete ActivityPub rollout in Threads, why it might be going so slowly, and whether Meta is committed to the fediverse at all. It seems clear now that it will not be practical to move an account away from Threads. Empty promises.

Pistin kotisivujen ulkoasun uusiksi. En kokonaan uusiksi, mutta vähän kuitenkin.
Pinnan alla tapahtui enemmän kun kirjoittelin tyylit ja templatet isolta osin uusiksi. Pääsin eroon alkuaikojen opettelun tuloksena syntyneestä kuonasta.
Poistin samalla Mastodon-integraation blogipostauksista kun minulle on sen varalle uusia suunnitelmia. Sen lisäksi revin blogipostausten aihealueet pois. Alkoi tökkiä se tapa, jolla ne on hanskattu Hugossa, enkä sietänyt sitä. Ehkä tuon ne takas joskus jos implementaatio paranee.
Luultavasti rikoin tuon muutoksen myötä paljon kaikenlaista, mutta omaanihan minä tässä tärvelen 😇
Korjailen outouksia sitä mukaa kun niitä huomaan.
It’s hard to take Meta’s effort with more open APIs like ActivityPub seriously when their own Threads API is so locked down, requiring frequent re-approval. Open APIs shouldn’t make developers jump through hoops, over and over. Enough with the gatekeeping already.
I just did a complete redesign of my site and I'm really happy with it! reillyspitzfaden.com
Some highlights:
- Pixel art theme, w/ fun icons and a pixel art font for headings
- Previously open dropdown menus automatically close when you open a new one
