Just published my 2024-in-review post for my technical blog content!

Predictably, it's mostly about web performance and the indie web...

Boolean HTML search and web development

#fluConf2025 will include a track on independent publishing and archival. We want to hear stories of what's being done to create non-corporate spaces on the web and preserve the media big companies so often erase.

Tell us about your motivations and experience moving from big platforms like Substack, Twitter, Instagram, and Wix to self-hosted or communally-operated alternatives.

Share your insights into the world of for-profit journals in academia, and efforts to establish better options not based on extraction.

How do you adapt to challenges like the falling adoption of established syndication protocols like RSS, the costs of AI scraping, and ever-changing search engine algorithms? How do you keep up with legal requirements for content moderation and age verification?

With so many corporate platforms shutting down, changing policies on media retention, or moving to monetize content for AI training: how have you gone about archiving your media? What tools and techniques have you used to ensure it isn't lost? How do we resist corporate capture of independent media and foster conditions for more long-lived infrastructure?

Apply up until midnight of January 19th, 2025 (anywhere on Earth)

Content warning:Thoughts from reflections

Wanted to share some thoughts so I wrote them down.

https://apertures.bearblog.dev/thoughts-from-reflections/

I talk about a few things including my first R application (you can use it)
A few considerations in my framework and how I've been approaching technical work

I have fallen completely down the indieweb rabbit hole and decided that I needed a microformats2 compatible theme for Hugo before going any further with my micropub endpoint. So now https://thesatelliteoflove.com has my draft one live #indieweb

New post on The Digital Renaissance: A Realist's Guide to CES

"A lot of stuff goes down on this fateful week, let’s talk about navigating it”

Took a little time today to make some improvements to my #website/#blog.

Got rid of the Ko-fi donation links (no one ever used them), added XML styling to the #Atom feeds (so they render nicely in browsers and have instructions on how to subscribe), fixed a long-standing issue where the table of contents on posts didn’t respect the chosen color theme, and submitted a new “shared link” to https://justine.lol!

I also started writing a review for #SlayThePrincess and wrote a small script that can search #HackerNews for submissions to pages from my site, and submits them as #WebMentions.

Would anyone be interested in contributing to this interactive guide + WYSIWIG editor that lets you make simple web pages and shows you how to host them for free?

Finally added a "copy code snippet" button to my tutorials. 🎉

What's a nice little feature you've seen a website or a blog implement, or that you've added to your own site?

And so since microblogging is for the lazys, and blogging is for the real procrastinators, I wrote a blog post about my #selfhosting journey.

Ok, one long evening of wrestling with IndieAuth in the bag. Tomorrow we move on to actually getting micropub working against my Hugo blog #IndieWeb

Decided to reorganize my site's menu by subject. For example, instead of putting the link to my Instagram under a generic Social heading, I put it under Photography along with my Gallery link. Likewise, GitHub link goes under Dev. And so forth.

Some of you know I picked up a Pixel 8a in bay blue awhile back. Well, recently I picked up the case. I really like it and writing about it gave me a chance to use my camera to take a photo.

I really need to use my camera more often.

📝 (Most) pages are actually posts #Indieweb #Tech #Blogging

Adam wrote up a post about everything on a site being a web page — posts included. He's absolutely write. I have some pages I think of on this site as being static (about, uses, colophon et al) and these are often slash pages. But they aren't static.
