I'll give this #blogging thing a whirl even if it is to throw more support behind the #indieweb and take a little more engagement away from #techbros

I love the Kagi small web rss feed.

(https://kagi.com/smallweb)

Lots of neat stuff comes through there, but I despise the midjourney images on SO MANY of the posts.

That garbage makes your otherwise good post worse. Stop it.

And I'm finished with retroactively-posting my Bluesky and Tumblr posts! So if you visit the blog, you might get to see a LOT more art that you've never seen before...😉

Chez les anglophones, il y a plus d’instances https://phpc.social/about (géré par la Fondation PHP), https://mastodon.gamedev.place/about (pour les devs de jeux vidéo), https://techhub.social/about parle de plein de sujets liés à la tech (pas que web), https://indieweb.social/about évidemment pour parler d’activity pub et de sujets liés au mouvement #indieweb.

Côté SEO et marketing, je ne connais pas d’instances dédiées. J’ai l’impression que ce ne sont pas des communautés actives sur Mastodon.

Yay! If you’re looking for writing inspiration, there’s a monthly blog carnival. This month’s topic is “Affirmations” by my friend @artlung.com. More coming up: indieweb.org/IndieWeb_Carnival

6 days till release....

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/

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 work–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. 🤗

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! 🧡

Brian Merchant and Cory examine Elon Musk’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.
