Important #indieweb lesson in #modular website setup this morning:
Keep your DNS provider separate from your CDN separate from your webhost, so you can swap out any one of them as necessary, whether for economic or as it were today, reliability reasons. And make sure those services themselves don’t depend on each other.
This is of course regarding the #Cloudflare #outage:

I have found a use case of my #tilde/#pubnix website. It's to publish my online journal, which contains dated entries longer than a toot/tweet but shorter and less structured or themed than a blog post. I am using simple.css by @kev and a #Python script written by #ChatGPT to export the entries within <article> tags into an #RSS feed. It looks great so far.

A bit late, but better than skipping; because I really enjoyed last week!
I mainly talk about the day I spent hiking up two hills in Hong Kong and using #GPX (#mapping).

How do you classify the books you have?

#ROTFL at half of the #Internet being unreachable because #Cloudfare is having issues.
Anyway, my website is direct-access, feel free to browse around it while you wait for the actually useful stuff to come up again
I wouldn't mind seeing more than 1% of access coming from humans and not bots, and not just because people shared a link to my site on #HackerNews

Warum sendet Webmentions denn nun meine kompletten Beiträge an verlinkte Blogs und nicht nur einen Auszug? So sieht das bei Erik unten in den Kommentaren aus.

@pfefferle Was habe ich wo falsch eingestellt?
(cycles, fluctuations) is a blog post for the #IndieWeb Blog Carnival this month. It's about waves. #blogging https://artlung.com/blog/2025/11/17/cycles-fluctuations/
In today's newsletter I wrote about how I've been juggling my #photography workflow and sharing process across different platforms. To solve, what might seem a small problem, I built a small tool. It stores my accounts, lets me save hashtag groups, and helps me cross-post.
I wrote more about building my own tools here: https://www.luisnatera.photo/014-a-photographers-workflow-creating-my-own-tools/
The month is half over. Go read Understanding Comics by Scott McCloud and post that fact to yr website and let me know and I'll add it to the #IndieWeb Book Club page. It's in libraries! It's online! https://artlung.com/understandingcomics-ibc/ Go! Read! Post!
So I think I'll be switching to #Apple soon 🥺🫶 My patrons all overwhelmingly use iOS devices, I want the quality point-and-shoot camera, and I found a better deal for a new Apple than anything #Android offers.
Any tips/tricks to keep some #IndieWeb sentiments alive even with how locked down & proprietary Apple tends to be with its settings/customizations & apps?

"Identity and interests can seem as if they are one and the same [...] But we are not the things we like. We are not a list of favourite records, films, books or sports teams. Nor are we our hobbies. We can express ourselves through these things and have fun doing so. Yet ultimately, it’s “what we are like” that brings something to the table"
Slowly uploading old #blog posts to my current site. Here's one about talking #music and getting old:
🎉 Finally federated!
After a truly ridiculous amount of stubbornness, debugging, and duct-taping containers together, my Ghost blog is now fully ActivityPub enabled.
You can now follow my blog directly from the fediverse:

I want #11tyCMS to become #accessible, and I also want it to encourage it's users to make the #indieweb accessible by design. We'll see how it ends up, but I'm doing a lot of thinking about this right now. Already looks like we'll have to modify the Milkdown editor, but hopefully nothing too catastrophic.
I'm going to soft launch https://buroak.club/ and stop trying to put coats of paint on it or it will take forever to be "ready". BurOak Club is a #webring for south-east #Michigan. Contribute your personal site if you've got one. I'm hoping for a more official launch later in the year. If it goes well maybe we'll see more (both rings and features). Re-wild the internet. #indieweb
