I really appreciate folks making the #SmallWeb #IndieWeb more capable. @scottandrew has some interesting work implementing a combination of #Eleventy and #ButtonDown to enhance sites with subscriber-only content. https://scottandrew.com/blog/2025/01/integrating-eleventy-with-buttondown-to-create-sub/

šŸ¤– Thereā€™s a new post on Michael Burkhardtā€™s Whirled Wide Web:

Hi #indieweb, what is an alternative to Cloudflare DDoS protection? It can be a service but also can be a program software.

Web 2.0 failed. True online sharing died a long time ago. So start taking. Take your ideas, your words, your workā€“and go home.

I hade one of those "Awwww I love the indieweb" moments.

Discovered a blog and read some articles which I enjoyed. Wanted to leave something in their guestbook and what a lovely surprise: It was an art-guestbook. So you draw something instead of writing.

Did that. But there was yet another surprise: The Thank you page contained a livestream of a printer, printing the picture I just drew.

Come on. How can you not love that?

Thanks @goodenoughllc

Surprise! I'm changing things up a bit. I had originally planned to publish my #Indieweb / #Fediverse / #cybersecurity newsletter, "Scrolls", on Sundays but have decided that Friday works better for me actually getting it out on time. So, since it's Friday, here ya go!

https://shellsharks.com/scrolls/scroll/2025-02-07

You can subscribe to the newsletter (if you're so inclined) using the feed here https://shellsharks.com/feeds (I also have RSS feeds for other stuff I write).

Feel free to send me any feedback on it, good or bad! I hope ya like it. šŸ¤—

Also, shoutout to some of the folks who unknowingly contributed to this weeks edition. I found something you wrote, or linked to, or boosted, or shared, and I shtuck in the scroll. Thanks! šŸ§”

Brian Merchant and Cory examine Elon Muskā€™s campaign of governmental destruction in Washington DC, how #enshittification will continue to unfold in 2025, and what, if any, hope there is for us, the humans and the users.

New post on The Digital Renaissance: Music Blog Challenge

"Hereā€™s my attempt at the music blog challengeā€”I donā€™t know how but I think this is more chaotic than the tech oneā€

For those of you who were having issues reaching RetroStrange Radio2, please try again, I think we've fixed it. Please clear your caches, etc https://retrostrange.com/radio2/ #indieweb #radio #music #PublicDomain

Iā€™m the guest on the latest Hanselminutes podcast! It was great talking to Scott. We covered a lot in just half an hour: blogging, domain names, social networks, the fediverse, POSSE, discovery, and the Micro.one launch.

šŸ“ Blog questions and whatnot #Indieweb #Blogging

I've seen the blog question challenge going around recently among folks I follow and bacardi55 was kind enough to tag me to participate. So, without further delay, here we go!

This one's for my #indieweb power-nerds and fellow #slashpage enthusiasts. Today I debut my "/Story" - the story of my website, told through my /slash pages. (Incredibly meta right?!). As one would hope, it can be reached at /story on my site (though it redirects to a section on my /slashes page)

https://shellsharks.com/story

The idea behind the "Slash Story" is to describe your site as succinctly as possible while linking to all the various slash pages and other portions of your site throughout. This is my first go at it.
