The most common way to provide updates to fans is via social media platforms. While these platforms may be a good way to reach new audiences, they're not great with providing updates to your fans.

Court rejection, seek real feedback, increase your surface area for luck, and assume everything is learnable.

🌒 Lighthouse Lore IV
A quiet beacon on the edge of the Fediverse.
The Lantern stays lit for travellers, creators, misfits and night-owls. No algorithms, no noise — just a warm doorway in the digital fog.
Come in, share the fire, stay as long as you like.
The Lighthouse keeps watch.

Content warning:Massive digital changes

So! Today is the 1st day of December, and it's the day I've chosen to make massive digital changes, gather my project and start them.
1- Technical:

  • After 10 years using it, I give up with #Firefox. Its AI shit stuff is not for me :no_AI_logo: I've replaced it with @Vivaldi #vivaldibrowser and if vivadi includes AI one day, I'll replaced it with #librewolf :librewolf:
    Dear @mozilla be clearly aware that absolutely nobody wants AI in one's browser. Actually, we don't want ai anyxhere. It's quite ironic that the browser claiming security and privacy first is including AI with all the known security and privacy issues it comes with. Not with me this time
  • Both my computers are now running a #linux distro also because of the AI present in Windows 11. Debian 12 with #yunohost for the gmktec nucbox G3, and debian testing on the main computer :debian:
  • it's today I start learning #GuixSystem with a dedicated VM, also learning #elisp #GuileScheme #bash and how to properly use the terminal and #git2- I want to create a community around the HardTech concept. I have this whole scifi universe in my mind and I'd like to keep it alive through various media (wiki, newsletter, why not on Gopher/Gemini used for very short fictions, writing some short stories, making a #fanzine etc...)
  • A website, probably using #doomemacs with #orgmode #orgroam and #orgpublish about scifi and colouter/technical stuffs
  • probably a personnal #bonfire instance
  • I've started to work on my personnal wiki and website. I stay on the web, but the #IndieWeb I try to find interesting and different content for each. Content will be available in french, english and esperanto
  • A lychee gallery to share my nicest screenshots.
  • A :discourse: Discourse or Flarum forum3- Custom OS
  • I start today the project of the debian based, CLI/TUI only, no distractions, writing only focused OS featuring #emacs with orgmode and orgroam, #vim :vim: and #neovim :neovim: with #NeorgMaybe with emacs #exwm 🤔 There will be monthly reports on my website.

Tried to document Iocaine on the IndieWeb wiki, but I can't log in because IndieLogin is flagged by Iocaine for being a fake Firefox and thus served a garbage response instead of the links that power the login. Oops.

I’m cooking up something pretty cool using Ghost’s API and Siri Shortcuts. This should be fun for any #indieWeb folks who like the quick #reviews I post to Mastodon. As they say, stay turned…

As we close in on the new year, will be doing a 2026 predictions of the #OpenSocialWeb.

Here was my predictions for this for 2025...Think i got maybe 20-30 % right based on a glance at it. And maybe 15 percent will have to do some research to see if I got close. Rest WAY wrong. https://www.timothychambers.net/2024/12/24/predictions-for-the-open-social.html

Will look over and evaluate it.

This is why blogging and the #indieweb is cool. To not loose things like this into the social web slipstream and see how such things changed over time.

Content warning:IndieWeb Book Club November 2025

My contribution to the November 2025 IndieWeb Book Club hosted by @artlung

I procrastinated until the bitter end, but it was such a rewarding, immersive experience revisiting a book that had been gathering dust upon the shelf for over a decade. "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud explores the comic medium but cleverly delves into the core of human conscious awareness. An amazing read no doubt!

Advent has begun, so I'm going to create a Christmas theme for my website.

New blog post: “Third Complete November”.

https://blog.kizu.dev/third-complete-november/

For the third time, third year in a row, I managed to write a post for every day of November.

I was tired at the end, and postponed writing many posts until the end of the day, but it felt easier than the last two previous years.

#NaBloPoMo #IndieWeb

I spent the weekend teching myself 11ty, and rebuilding my site locally.  It looks pretty close, but the sort is not working, and I'll need a more efficient way to work with images.
