Love going out to all my #indieweb peers who are _not_ hosting behind #Cloudflare
I added a new semi-hidden section to my site for pics.
I’ve been hammering on this thing since the #indieweb camp in Berlin a few weeks ago and am pretty happy with how it came out. Kick the tires on it!
🔗 Make Your Own Website via @michaelenger #IndieWeb #Tech #Blogging
It’s a common adage amongst us Internet weirdos that you should really have your own website. Your own digital space where you are free to express yourself without being beholden to manipulative algorithms or hostile user experiences. We espouse the virtues of owning your data and breaking free from walled gardens and all that, but I think we often forget...

And we're live! https://onclebob.com is still very early, feedback immensely valuable. Start, build, preview, launch static websites without the terminal. Only supports xmit.co as a hosting provider for now, but I'm very open to supporting more :)
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.

(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/
