A quick rant about my move to #PageFind on my #11ty site and the process of setting it up

After way too long, I've finally dropped Google in favor of #PageFind for search on my website.

Happy 6-year blogiversary to me! ๐ To celebrate I want to talk about other peoples' blogs, specifically blogrolls.
Blogrolls are โlists of other sites that you read, are a follower of, or recommendโ. Any blog can host a blogroll, or sometimes websites can be one big blogroll.

I can honestly say that Iโm starting to lose my sanity a little bit from how hard Iโve been working on photo stuff for the last week and a half since #indieweb Berlin ๐ but the end is in sight. Iโm treating today as a mini deadlines to tie off what Iโve wanted for a long time and have finally tackled:
* all blog posts will get corresponding galleries, with matching alt text, variants for jpg/avif, widths and aspect ratios.
* scripts to monitor and do all the conversions, plus sync to AWS.
* all of it hooked up to Cursor so I can just give it a natural language command and get back plain English status summaries like Iโm frigging Tony Stark.
Gave my site a small visual tune-up: separate layout tweaks for desktop and mobile, and the ASCII page header has officially been retired.

Sometimes life feels like a loop โ repeating patterns that shift with every choice we make.
In this piece, I reflect on how cycles, connections, and small decisions shape our paths in unexpected ways.

Small acts of rebellion to give you back a sense of control
Collation of suggestions from lovely Mastodon people
Re-posting this to test a webmentions thing ๐ So sorry for the noise.
โญ๏ธ @Bonfire is a wonderful initiative for friendly community building. The project is focused on making things easy for people to create meaningful spaces to organize. It has good federation support, so people can participate from across the different networks.
They've launched a campaign to help launch it to a wider audience: https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/bonfire/community
I like the install party level, looking forward to getting an instance running with others! #Bonfire #Crowdfunding #Fediverse #IndieWeb #OSS
I used to rely almost entirely on mainstream social media and news sites.
Now, by exploring Mastodon and the IndieWeb in parallel, I get different perspectives, which helps me step back and reflect.

โจ Been busy expanding my self-hosted stack again!
Latest additions:
๐ A couple more Matrix bridges + Maubot (finally!) for some automation fun ๐ค
๐ธ Pixelfed for photo sharing โ a lovely, quiet corner away from the algorithms
๐ฌ PeerTube now running too, because why not go fully decentralised?
Slowly building my own little federated ecosystem one service at a time ๐

Yes, I am going through a phase....

In the last week I've chatted about BBS history, FidoNet, and Radio with fellow #IndieWeb folks. Meshtatic reminds me of all 3. I think I'm understanding it as: a radio, non-cell, non-internet, low power device communications medium, with software apps as endpoint. https://meshtastic.org/docs/introduction/
@eoinoneill I like the idea of a trial but not as a limit (altho I get the purpose of that barrier) but as a way to explore different servers without committing to one with account credentials. So like ghost accounts? You can't post or interact but you could see what it's like (what the timeline feeds look like) if you signed up inside their server if you're joining the fediverse for the first time with them #mastodon #fediverse #indieweb
