Another new #blog post!! I know right!! My only two modes are "never update" and "push out a bunch of updates in a row," I'm sorry! Anyway these are some #Eleventy plugins I recommend and how to add them to your site. It follows directly from the guide I posted earlier!

It's Friday so as told by the prophecy I return with Scraps, my little human-curated #roundup of links to some great #blog posts and other interesting content. The #indieweb, the #humanweb and the #infosec & #sysadmin worlds collide in this week's Scraps: https://fyr.io/scrap/2025-07-25
We're six (6) editions deep with no signs of slowing down. Take a look if you wish. You might find something you like!
Went through my personal site and removed/replaced relevant deadlinks with wayback machine references.
Notably made updates to my "spaces" page and my blog post about how to make your own handcrafted site. There are still some spaces I participated in over the past three years that I never added and can't quite remember lol. I'll figure it out.
BTW I am looking for terms as an alternative to web "bloat". Maybe web "churn"?

Thanks @synchron for sharing https://www.deadlinkchecker.com/
Most of my site links are good, but there's a folder of images and a handful of links to indie web blog posts that I'll want to review
#indieWeb #SmallWeb #handcraftedWeb
This will hardly be groundbreaking for seasoned Eleventy folk, but I wrote up my experience shifting to remote builds and scheduling automated deployments with Netlify build hooks and GitHub Actions.

Also now that the updated version of this guide is up, I can also finally start talking about some more plugins I've been using on my main site 👀 muahaha
Also also. This guide is up in time for you to set up a #blog for #Blaugust2025 👀

#FilosofiaDeBotequim #IndieWeb #Blogues
Ás vezes, uma conversa em blogues lembra um jogo de xadrez por correspondência!
Não há pressa! E o tempo longo (comparado com o frenesi de mídias sociais) ajuda a decantar as ideias.
Um exemplo é essa conversa que só agora (quase 6 meses depois) eu tive acesso a resposta: masdivago.cc/2024/11/19/fetich…
New #blog post!! I've finally gotten around to updating my beginner guide to #Eleventy! If you're interested in setting up a simple blog with this static site generator, this should have everything to get you started 👇

My website has new colors!
I'm an early bird, but as of tomorrow I am on Holidays and will be camping (lux camping) with my family for a week, so I need to post now or never:
Here is my call for the IndieWeb Blog Carnival submission for August!

Looking forward to all the posts! 🌈
Sometimes stories are powerful in helping us understand things
I dug out an #iMacG4 that has been untouched in the loft for 15 years. Turned it on and it said a little triple tone and flashed it's little light. After a reset it came properly to life and updated OS. Found Safari doesn't like Https sites, so loaded #Aquafox and she works fine, if slowly.
Reckon she'll be a good thing to test the #indieweb site I'll be building, though I will plug her into the fibre broadband, not a #dialup modem (can you still get on line with one?)
The prettiest Mac ever 😹
RTO: But It's Not What You Think
Today, I experienced RTO and it was so nice, I plan to do it again.

Writing Glow Up
This week, I tried to update some of my outdated workflows and it did not go as planned.

thank you #kiki users for your gracious patience over the past few months 🙏
kiki v1.1.0 is now available on itch. it includes many new requested features, including preliminary support for the gopher protocol.
if you haven't heard of kiki before: it's a tiny home page construction set written to be fast and easy to modify. it's my response to 20 years of dealing with the bloated, frustrating, and exhausting world of wordpress and other heavyweight CMSes.
if you're into writing things with just a text editor, then uploading your document over ftp - then kiki is for you.
(conversely, if you're into dragging and dropping widgets in a massive javascript interface - kiki is *not* for you 😆)
truth be told, gopher support may or may not survive the year. it's an absolutely gnarly protocol that barely deserves to be called one - there are SO many different implementations and revisions. i tried to implement only what made sense to me, and it's basic at best.
