Man I was all ready to bring my Wordpress blog over to a Hugo static site hosted on Codeberg, but I quickly become overwhelmed by how to do this. I am not familiar with half of this stuff and it's not as easy as I was expecting.

I am thinking about migrating my Mastodon-Account to my micro.blog. Not sure if I will miss out on a lot of I do. Likes will change (there are no likes on the other side), but you’ll still see my posts and will be able to comment on them.

Written tutorials with GIFs is superior to video in every possible way.
I don't get it. Maybe we just need a blog search engine with clickbait thumbnails.

"The #fediverse won’t succeed just because it’s better. It will succeed if and only if people choose it. If they reject the idea that being trapped in someone else’s ecosystem is just the cost of existing online. If they stop believing that “free” means surrendering ownership of your own connections, your own history, your own data. The #internet was built to connect us, not silo us to pad a wealth-extremist’s bank account." (#westenberg)

I'm procrastinating right now. So, I wrote a post about procrastinating.

Now, I'm procrasti-tooting about my procrasti-blogging.

Wanna procrastinate with me by reading the post? You can tell me what you thought about it so I can procrasti-read and procrasti-respond to your comments.

Thanks!

Is there any account of individual, or small, independent website's and cyber social spaces that were shutdown by their owners/administrators citing perceived threats by #GDPR?

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?

#indieweb #librefm

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.

https://shellsharks.com/writing-mannerisms

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.

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.
