Alright folks. Struggling to find recent and good documentation on how to setup Mastodon with Docker.
Any recommendations?
Current status: in _theory_ it's running, I see the Docker images running and I even got a welcome email to my admin user, but attempts to pull up the web interface from the server throw a 403, and attempts to pull it up from my reverse proxy throw a 502.

Finally seeing this covered in the news.
"This should be illegal and everyone should be upset about this. If that alert was for my child and tons of people couldn’t see it because they don’t have a stupid X account, I would be beyond infuriated."

Still, the sting and pangs of longing are inevitable in both ways: that it was always going to come to this, and that it now has and will only be as it is
And so, in that spirit, I finally arrive at my point: does anyone know any good alternatives to #wordpress_com ?

Is there a tool/website that I give it a link, and it gives back social media posts by author that contain that link? Or at least gives links to author profile on various social media sites?
I mostly read through RSS. Sometimes I read and think "wow, I would like to share/boost original author post on social media, too!" And I wonder if there is something that would make that last part easier.
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. 33: "shen.land" https://shen.land/

Been working on a little #IndieWeb project; importing some of my online life into my own domain.
Currently I have Swarm checkins creating notes on my site. Got music and films coming in from RSS feeds, saving these locally feels like overkill but the end product is my Activity Feed.

🤖 There’s a new post on Michael Burkhardt’s Whirled Wide Web:
Year End Retrospective 2024
My first implementation of showing webmentions is up! Think I'm gonna tweak it a little it the next days. Tell me what you think!
There's so many indieweb protocols to discover and learn, and so many more that can still be invented I think. Let's try harder.
The #indieweb is more than #independence. It’s also a web, of both personal sites and “third place” sites like aggregators, bridges, proxies, directories, indexes, and other community sites.
Broadly speaking, such “third place” sites include places we collectively contribute to, and which license our contributions for free use by others. While open source projects come to mind, perhaps a more obvious example is Wikipedia.
Similarly, the most obvious “third place” in the #IndieWeb community is our community site and wiki https://indieweb.org/ as well as the heterogeneous chat https://chat.indieweb.org/.
We also have many services run by individuals (or small teams) in the community, for the benefit of the community, like:
* @snarfed.org’s https://brid.gy/ and https://fed.brid.gy/
* @aaronparecki.com’s https://webmention.io/ and many others
* @martymcgui.re’s https://xn--sr8hvo.ws/ (IndieWeb Webring)
* @gregorlove.com’s https://indiebookclub.biz/
* @mat.tl’s https://libre.fm/
and I’m sure many more I’m forgetting.
All these services respect your data and your ownership of it. #ownYourData
All these services are swappable. Many (most?) are open source and self-hostable in case you want to run your own personal instance or another shared instance.
The web part of the indieweb complements, connects, and strengthens the indie part.

In Gracefully Retiring a Website, I wrote about the maintenance of side projects, archiving websites, and making ideas more resilient.

I thought this post was going to be a quick description of a project and I ended up questioning my whole (Internet) life philosophy.

Great conversation at today's #FrontEnd Study Hall event. We took collective notes in etherpad today. It can't encompass everything, but it was a terrific first #IndieWeb event of the year. https://indieweb.org/events/2025-01-02-front-end-study-hall
New year, new personal website? (Or update your existing site?) Join us for a virtual IndieWeb meetup, Homebrew Website Club, January 8th at 6PM Pacific!
