Another fantastic issue of the Scrolls from @shellsharks

I always find some new hyperlinks to dive into with each issue

Hey everyone, Scrolls is back! Volume seventeen has just dropped. Where have I been? Why is it coming out in the middle of the week? Well go on and read and I try to explain 😄.

As usual, it features some cool stuff from across the #IndieWeb, #Fediverse and #Cybersecurity worlds. I hope you enjoy!

I should also add, that there is ANOTHER special edition, catch-up issue that will likely come out this week ahead of the regularly scheduled Friday issue. Stay tuned.

Special shoutout to everyone below who's content was featured in this special mid-week, catch-up edition!

I found too much overlap in the /contact, /subscribe, and /social slashpages, so I've consolidated. Presenting, /connect!

Blog: Mit Webmentions noch näher an das Fediverse

Ich habe gestern ein paar Änderungen am Blog vorgenommen und diesen damit noch ein Stück näher an das Fediverse gerückt. Vorher musste ich aber eine andere Funktion deinstallieren, damit es nicht zu Problemen kommt.

Seit ein paar Monaten […]

RSS is old tech — but it still rules 🧡

Here's an old article on why we still use RSS for articles & podcasts on VEX.blue. It’s not just nostalgia, it’s open distribution. No algorithms, just updates.

Finally got around to adding a #LinkBlog page with tags on my website: https://abhinavsarkar.net/linkblog. It comes with a central #feed, and tag-wise feeds as well.

Have you published an RSS or Atom feed?

Did you know it's possible to style it?

Yup! You can make that crusty old XML viewable in the browser.

Just added a new article to the VEX.blue BETA site: No Code' Is Bad

I’ve used no-code tools before, but building VEX.blue from scratch showed me the value of actually learning the basics.

From monthly fees to platform lock-in, this post is about why No Code works for some, but not for everyone.

Sleep Like a Computer

I recently went on vacation and, for the first time in years, I applied the concept of sleep to virtually every aspect of my digital life.

What’s your writing habit like? ✍️
I’ve been reflecting on mine—midnight musings, idea clouds, and the courage to delete.

My entry for this month's IndieWeb Carnival (hosted by (@nicksimson.com)

I've been mostly making music tools rather than writing music. Today I'm talking about getting out of this rut with a “take two” on my current composition:

IndieWeb Carnival: Take Two

It’s been a few weeks, but I finally made a new Weeknotes post!

I got out of the groove there for a bit, but I’m back with a little update on what I’ve been up to lately.

Hey, looking for something fun to watch and write about on innertubes web home page? Try the #IndieWeb Movie Club. Hosted this month by Jo of dead.garden: https://dead.garden/blog/indieweb-movie-club-june-2025.html

Watch Mary Poppins. Write about it. Or do a drawing about it. Or an interpretive dance about it. On your website.

I've always liked the basic concept and framework of Goodreads and it bums me out that it sucks in so many ways now. One thing I've been meaning to do in response is follow the practice of POSSE (https://indieweb.org/POSSE), and then decide later if I want to delete those accounts. Tracking my reading and writing capsule reviews are an easy first step, especially since my reading rate has tanked in the last couple years anyway.
