@ndw I suspect #microformats would fit the bill. https://microformats.org/wiki/Main_Page #indieweb
Read more about it, see past notes at https://indieweb.org/Front_End_Study_Hall , and feel free to pass this along to folks wanting to learn to make web pages. #IndieWeb #HTML
Tuesday we will join minds and hearts and keyboards and code for Front End Study Hall 37. We get together to learn HTML and CSS new and old. Event info is on the #IndieWeb events website. It's a Zoom! If you're HTML-curious, or CSS-phobic, this is the place. https://events.indieweb.org/2025/09/front-end-study-hall-037-8dHsUfs6oUBz
The Benjamin Franklin Reading List
Benjamin Franklin, known as one of America's founding fathers, was an avid reader and mostly self-educated person. Over the course of his lifetime, he acquired a massive library of books on a wide variety subjects. In his autobiography, Franklin recommends several books that led to his self-education; many of which are available for free.

This explains why all these years ago when #indieweb crossed my radar, POSSE didn't feel quite right – and still doesn't https://notebook.wesleyac.com/indieweb-thoughts-posse/
I need to be able to "live online" in different spaces, and collect it back to my blog, if I want.
trying to find how to follow directly an http://Snarfed.org #indieweb via https://fed.brid.gy from #Mastodon , no success
a small companion piece in addition to my contribution to this month's indieweb carnival theme, second person birds, hosted by @fractalkitty. a perspective: gatherings at the end of a day of mysteries and joys.

my home server https://aus.social has been inaccessible and returned 502 error for whole evening \ many hours.
I have not seen any 24h upfront notifications about scheduled maintenance. I have not seen a "server on maintenance" page. This left me wonder.
No one advertised here an "X/twitter or other status/downtime/uptime page of a server" .
There is no https://status.aus.social or aus.social/status
Whole situation has been made weirder by https://isup.me which checks for downtime, and "thinks" 502 is normal return code page, marks site as working fine.
So, what exactly happened & what was that maintenance, in technical details?
Is aus.social hosted on single server hardware/vps, because if there was a second server for load balancing - there probably wouldn't be such issue.
Should we expect this situation to repeat?
What is recomended official status page\downtime checker? (that is not hosted on this server and will be accessible in case of downtime)
There is no known contact form with Admin, like IRC\XMPP, outside of Fediverse.
Is server maintained by single person or team or public organisation ?
Also, if it's single person, WHO IS exactly the Admin ?
because this server is advertised and suggested as trusted and reliable on joinmastodon.org , that supposed to communicate to users upfront on any issues.
Also, if you are not on aus.social, but anywhere on fediverse, this is example of how this #fediverse #activitypub is still centralized around single points of failures like DNS, central servers. So my few suggestions to you as user (outside of this issue): Bring your own Server. #Selfhost. You can selfhost static pages for free with #indieweb & activitypub support.

Autonomy, independence, federation, WordPress and concrete

Thinking of various tech and design trends in terms of a post about nostalgia cycles I wrote a decade ago. (yeah, I know...)
This is why browser sidebars and transparent desktop themes are back after 20 years, and why some of us are stubbornly trying to rebuild the personal web of the 1990s.
Even though my work on @abelio has become a bit stale recently, I'm considering moving it to @hanami
to experiment with #rubyonrails alternatives and step outside my comfort zone for the first time in years.
Any thoughts on this idea?
