Just started compiling some of my favourite blogs on my site.

I’m certain I’m missing tons, so please let me know of your favourites!

If you liked Anti-tech and alternative media., my feed URL is https://robertkingett.com #RSS #IndieWeb

This site is amazing. The design dates to about 2004, and it claims over 17,000 reviews and articles, all apparently managed via raw HTML updates. I don't see any sign of a CMS, and I can't find an RSS feed. It is apparently still updated regularly. The email list subscribe button points to a Yahoo Group, which now defaults to the Yahoo homepage.

It's a web 1.0 time capsule.

🔗 Be A Property Owner And Not A Renter On The Internet via @localden #Indieweb #Tech #Blogging #Socialmedia

The year is 2025. The internet in the shape that we’ve known it in the early 2000s is no longer there. Or, not quite in the shape that we’ve seen it before. This is not just plain nostalgia talking - the vibrant ecosystem of blogs, feeds, personal sites, and forums has been usurped by a few...

From on, around the festive period or shortly afterwards, I’m going to give back to the open source developers that have made life more productive and less intrusive. The first of which is @paulrobertlloyd’s Indiekit, the utterly superb IndieWeb server. #OpenSource #IndieWeb #Reciprocity

New on #WellMadeWeb: Melonking

Enter the mellow realm of the Melonking. A living embodiment of the lost spirit of the early Web.

This is high effort, the unmistakable work of many painstaking hours, quaint, quirky, definitional and raw. Its mere existence is a refutation of responsive design, AI slop, paywalls and cookie banners.

A visit to the Melonking is hard to describe and it can only be experienced.

Someone Told Me Once

#Wisdom #IndieWeb

https://mihobu.lol/words-of-wisdom

Yesterday https://last.fm/ (@lastfm) emailed their year in review reports, which they called #Playback24 and Last.Year.

Kudos to them for waiting until the new year to do so, and breaking with the pattern of services prematurely posting year in review summaries.¹

They’re also available on the web, without requiring a native mobile app to view.

Mine is here: https://www.last.fm/user/tantekc/listening-report/year

You can find yours (if you’re a last.fm user) by going here:
* https://www.last.fm/user/_/listening-report/year

The page title calls it your #YearInMusic, and the URL your #ListeningReport.

It has many interesting elements, from various top listened lists (artist, album, track), to what percent of 2024 listens (which they call scrobbles) were new artists, albums, and tracks.

Their “Top Tags” time chart is quite cool. Fascinating to see the differences in music listening over the seasons and the whole year.

The report has many interactive features, so it will take me some time to figure out how to save, export, and/or republish my listening report on my personal #indieweb site.

For now I used Firefox to save the page as an .html page to my laptop, and was quite impressed with how much of the information was available in that one file. Much more than #Spotify’s #Wrapped.

That’s step 1. Step 2 is figuring out a good way to blog at least some of it.

Today’s shout out is… me

I figure it can’t hurt to promote myself just this once. I’m the geek that runs isBrill and a whole lot of other stuff. I really do like making websites.

2024 in numbers

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 ?
