Hi everyone! 👋

I’m Sylvester, a student from Malaysia. While I’m studying business by day, I’ve fallen deep into the #indieweb rabbit hole and spend my nights coding as a hobby. 💻✨

Things I’m into: #blogging, #minimalism, small side projects that spark my curiosity.

Cheers! 🥂

New post on The Digital Renaissance: Who Is All This Power For?

"As Apple’s silicon has evolved over the past few years people are asking “who can use this power” well, here’s who"

Thanks @zeldman.com (@zeldman.bsky.social @zeldman@front-end.social @zeldman) 🙏🏻

Appreciate your kind words, and same appreciation of your decades of dedicated work & words right back at you.

I feel we’re all doing what we can to keep at least parts of the web a positive place to connect and collaborate. #indieweb

These recent words of yours (tweeted 2024-11-26) struck a chord that resonated:

“Our euphoria during the first 25 years of web design turns out to have significantly overestimated human intelligence, compassion, and decency.”

Here’s to decades more work & words, perhaps with some acceptance of your observation, and shifting our designs to meet people where they are, enabling and encouraging them to be and do better.

I recently finished the Hyperion Cantos series and I've been thinking about some of the ideas... Notably what happens at the end of the second book and how I see it as a metaphor to what some of us in the fediverse and indieweb are trying to do in terms of tech and healing that part of our society. I'm going to try to write a blog post or maybe do a video talking about it. I just hope it's intelligible to others. 😬

Spent way too many hours today struggling with customizing my #Docuwiki that I'm determined to make work as a personal website, but I did it! and it looks pretty good! Check it out! https://www.pixietails.club/

Kanbaning, Timeboxing, & Doom Scrolling

Without even realizing it, I have applied the concepts of Kanban and Timeboxing to my Social Media and RSS habits... and it appears to have helped me limit the amount of time I spend on doom scrolling.

I'm checking out free web hosting providers that can be used for fun and personal websites.

I wanted to know what to recommend to people who want to make their own website, so I decided to try things out for myself!

DID YOU KNOW? There's a weekly Zoom call hosted out of the UK with folks from all around the world talking about personal websites, the #IndieWeb, and more? And it has good manners and smart conversation and occasional jokes? People ask questions and get--if not answers--LINKS? It's pretty great. TODAY. https://events.indieweb.org/2025/03/homebrew-website-club-europe-london-jYD9iLxrMP47

#bloggers how often you post to your #blog ?

Whenever the Hell I feel like it.

We elder millennials need to do a better job at promoting the actual internet. Apps and platforms have dominated. Podcasts can be listened to via RSS. How do we show folks the way? #indieweb #podcasts #buildtheweb

I finally managed to add a proper robots.txt generation system to my personal website, and added a comprehensive blocklist anti-AI crawlers.

I'm improving my Semantic Extractor that is used behind the scenes on https://w3blogy.cz for improved Author Attribution, Descriptions and Tags.

Now I can read metatags, rel and rev links, JSON-LD scripts, microdata and RDFa Lite.

The most used are OpenGraph and TwitterCard metadatada. There are some JSON-LD, a few microdata and none RDFa in my list of recommended articles.

I'm about to implement microformats parser because I'm very curious if there will be some.

@marginalia Small feedback on the new design since I use Marginalia as my main search engine: on mobile, the options in the sidebar are now unlabelled icons, and I'm not sure what exactly they do without rotating the screen to see the label.
In the old design, they were text-only and I knew exactly what I was switching on or off: vintage, tildes, no JS and such.

I use those filter options extensively and it'd be nice if that was changed somehow.

Designing my blog post draft web experience

Got my refurbished miniPC up and running as an ubuntu server and will be going through the #LinuxUpskillChallenge

Also on the roadmap is to try some self hosting, expand this into a lab with more miniPCs to test out k8. If anyone in the #indieweb has any ideas or resources I am all ears!
