This #weeknotes cover Python sentinel values (spoiler: avoid them unless necessary), IndieWeb integration with django-indieweb, and setting up a new M4 Mac Studio for local model testing. Plus: the perils of switching to US keyboard layout.

All the age verification laws are making me extremely depressed about the future of the internet.

There was a period where I had some optimism (in this vein: https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-commentary/internet-future-about-to-get-weird-1234938403/) about things like the Fediverse, Bridgy, Bluesky, the IndieWeb, etc.

Now I see things becoming less open, private, and free, and because age verification requires more resources, I worry that the new laws will make it harder for small platforms and websites to exist.

@njion start an #indieweb blog >:)

A brand new extension from @feedbin! It's an exciting time to be an RSS user post-Pocket shutdown. It feels like there's a lot of potential in the variety of projects springing up in its wake.

I started making a playlist of tracks that gives me #goosebumps or #tears. https://ggirelli.info/micro/2025-07-29-goosebumps 🪿👊🎻 #music #emotions #posse #indieweb

📒 I'm holding the internet in my hands!

I want to print all the little #websites and hold them in my arms like the treasures they are. 💜

So excited that I got a copy of "The Internet Phone Book." It brings together the tactile and sensory experience of #books (the lifeblood of my youth and adolescence) with the connectivity of the #internet.

(Plus it satisfies my #ActuallyAutistic tactile desire to touch everything...🙃)

The big #LibreTown rework is finally close to being finished. The only big tasks remaining on my to-do list are converting (and proof-reading) all the blog posts, and the programming projects page.

I'll keep y'all up to date.

"…The World Wide Web didn’t leave us

The World Wide Web is still here, we’re just not using it like we were.. It doesn’t need to be complicated to allow us a free and open expression of creativity."

Alright moved my English blog from #Github to #Codeberg. Everything seems okay. Except I can't load my website. I have to give it time for the cache to invalidate or something.

🗒️ Design notes: Isometric explorations

Some new illustrations across my website; all in an isometric, brutalist-leaning style.
