A persistent need in web development is to solve the problem of a footer that's not at a the foot. A main content area that's not tall doesn't push the footer down to the bottom. Here's one solution, inspired by a request in #IndieWeb chat this morning. #webdev https://lab.artlung.com/mid-air-footer/

i'm asking once again.
should i leave fedi and/or delete portfolio/blog site?
i really have reasons...

(for now changed domain of that site so crap isn't visible here)

#AskFedi #meta #WebDev #Blog #ai #Coding #Fediverse #indieweb #opensource #ethics #inconsistency

del both
del fedi
del site
don't del (risky)

⁉️ I'm interviewing folks interested in my federated link sharing project "linkblocks". If you use a bookmark manager, lemmy / reddit, are.na, or any other app for curating and sharing stuff, I'd love to ask you about your bookmarking needs and dreams.

🗨️ A session takes about 30 minutes in a voice chat. If you're interested, send me a DM!

Boosts appreciated!

Question for @artlung if anyone knows it’s you :)

These album images are always 250px wide but variable height. I’m setting the img height atttribute to 250 and leaving out width. This seems to mostly work just fine. Is this the best way to handle it with just HTML but maybe there’s a cool CSS trick where I apply the image to the cover of for example a CD jewel case?

I was thinking max-width stuff for img/div + then maybe a bg image on an element and then absolute the div?

Added album art to Libre.fm album pages tonight.

Let me know if you see anything weird?

This one was kinda fun to think and write about. I've attempted to catalog the numerous quirks and peculiar writing mannerisms I have.

Let me know what you think! If you've ever read anything on my site, has any of these things stood out in particular?

Tell me what quirky writing mannerisms you know *you* have! I'm interested to hear about them.

#indieweb #blogging

I've been thinking for a while about adding comments to my blog by pulling them from other sources (like Mastodon replies) but I figured I was going to have to write some complicated logic to fetch them, save them to a cache, and invalidate them periodically.

I just noticed that's the *entire* thing eleventy-fetch already does! I am very excited to try this out sometime soon.

Introduction

Doing an #introduction as I'm new to Friendica, which is quickly becoming one of my favorite ways to engage with the fediverse, and friendica.world. I'm always happy to meet people with similar interests, so feel free to boost / share!

I'm a human who loves weird art, all sorts of music (from Hindustani to Death Metal), tech, sunny days, green hills, incense, tea, spirits, soft couches, cats, and books. I'm a prolific vegan cook, and I design, code, write, play games, and produce, write, and play music for fun.

Recently, there was this insightful interview in our local newspaper that I found really interesting and seemed almost philosophical to me. So I decided to curate and share some passages.

I'm a bit obsessed with working on my website currently. And inspired by all the fantastic personal websites I'm finding. So here's another update to my website:
I added three pages: a sitemap, a page where I want to collect all the single pages I want to make, and one such single page.
I also put the change log on my
homepage into a scrollable box. I'm not super happy with how it looks, but I do like a scrollable box thing.
I am feeling a bigger re-design coming... I have ideas, but don't know when I'll actually sit down to try it out. I have some ideas of single pages first.

Reminder for folks in Austin, Fediverse House is this weekend, Sunday and Monday. I’ll be there. In a happy coincidence, Sunday is also the anniversary of the first post to my blog. 23 years.

@paulca I wonder if there's prior art from #indieweb land that could be used and/or expanded upon?

https://indieweb.org/Category:building-blocks

#microformats and #ActivityStreams (which begat #ActivityPub already has a big vocabulary of things (nouns and verbs)

The #indeweb outlook on auth is that your domain is your UID

Payments… no real idea/suggestion
The allure of a a Just Works™ universal payments system on the web has been there since the start. That territory seems more fragmented than ever.

@matthiasott @sergi Kagi.com seems use the amount of tracking scripts as a ranking factor. More scripts = lower quality content. That way you also find those little blogs from people that write really good content. Which is probably right up your #indieweb alley 😉

I've complettely revamped my site again! It's now #BuiltWithEleventy and has a proper blog with a tagging system and everything!
